Caf I Am six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
You're listening to the John Cobelt podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (00:06):
Lou Penrose in for co Belt all this week. Thanks
for tuning in. So tomorrow is the big No King's
March nationwide and here in Los Angeles, Governor Gavin Newsom
in a statement, I urge our nation to use this
weekend's No Kings marches as a declaration of independence. Two
hundred thousand folks in Los Angeles in June at that
(00:30):
No King's March, and the question is will there be
less more or about the same.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Kfi's Michael Monks is in.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
The KFI newsroom with a preview of what's to come
on Saturday. Hey, Lou, Yes, absolutely, this was a big,
big showing back on June fourteenth, for that first No
King State protest. I was down there in downtown LA
with this crew that showed up, and it was massive.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
I mean, the streets were absolutely packed. Probably one of
the largest demonstrations I've seen in LA, and goodness knows,
there are consistently demonstrations in LA, particularly downtown. So the
first one was a pretty big success because there was
a lot of pent up anger for folks. There were
no elections, of course, between the inauguration of President Trump
and the summer starting and the immigration enforcement starting here.
(01:16):
So this was an opportunity for folks not only in
Los Angeles but across the country who disagree with Trump
to put that energy into something. So it was alluring,
it was exciting for them, and it was a big turnout,
and it was also a peaceful demonstration. And I point
that out because this isn't a leftist group that puts
(01:37):
this on. This is more of a traditional liberal Democrat
type organization. This fifty to fifty one group that puts
on the no Kings marks. That's a reference to fifty
protests fifty States one movement. And in fact, leftist groups
even here in Los Angeles don't like this crew.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
They say they work too closely with the lice and.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
That sort of thing, and so this is just your
aunt with her Starbucks cup kind of thing.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Well look, hey, in Portland, they do it on bicycles
with no clothes on. So you know, I think we're
a little we're a little more just stately here in
Los Angeles. But the governor did spend some time talking
about violence. He really urged stressed and implored people to
keep it peaceful.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
I think this is great.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
I make a living with free speech. You do too, right,
this radio station does. So this is what we are
designed to do as a nation. We have grievances. Go
make a sign and let's read the signs and get
a national conversation going, or regional conversation, or a conversation
right here in Los.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Angeles for what the beef is and I move forward.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
Yeah, And this is a reference to the original American grievance.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Right, no kings.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
That's the message from this group, a purport that Donald
Trump has royal tendencies, we should say, or maybe authoritarian tendencies,
and that's what they're speaking out against. And you know, look,
will there be the turnout that there was in June?
Not sure, you know, because there has been a lot
of stuff that is said. This was a busy summer
(03:07):
that we've had. It's been a head spinning year this
first year of the second Trump administration. If you don't
like the president, if you don't like the administration just
in general, I don't know what wish is you you pick,
you know, because he has been able to push through
a lot of his policy goals, maybe not to the
level he wants to, but when you look specifically at
(03:29):
immigration and the way that it has affected Los Angeles,
it has been successful in one arresting and deporting people
and in two sticking into his enemies. He loves that too,
There's no question about that. Will there be the turnout
that there was in June, I think that's what this
organization wants to see, because a protest, more than anything like,
(03:50):
it's not going to oppose the president.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
They know that. They just want the visuals.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
They want guys like us down there showing the sheer
number of folks that are showing up to express their
disillusion with the current American government. It's just a show
that there is an opposition out there.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
There are some big folks.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
Behind this, the SEIU Union, which has one hundred thousand
members here. They had a press conference this morning along
with the organizers of the No Kings movement. They have
asked their folks to show up, and labor's big here
and they are mobilized. So if it's powered by the
labor unions, you can expect at least a pretty good turnout.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Yeah, it's also going to be interesting to see what's
on those signs? Like I like reading reading the signs,
the handmade signs of the best, but what's because what
is the overwhelming thought? Is it, you know, an opposition
to a heavy handed approach toward interior enforcement of immigration law.
Right anti ice is a pro likee pro choice. We
(04:49):
see some of that last time in June.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
It was a lot of.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Free Palestine signs that probably has fizzled out now that
that conflict has been settled, at least as far as
the Dipple concern.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Ukrainian flags we're going to see.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Those, so that will be interesting to see the complexion,
if you will, of the mosaic of the protest.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
I think the answer is probably yes, yes, yes, and yes,
because this is such a generalized protest. And I think
that's the reason that I have found leftist groups here
in LA don't like this, because one, they're not antagonistic
towards police and authority. They're not sitting down and blocking
the freeway. It's not that kind of thing. This is
just a look at us, we're upset about something. And
(05:29):
by the way, we have a permit for this, you know.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
Right, that's not revolutionary filing a permit for crying out out.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Louja nailed it.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
It's not revolutionary, even though it's kind of inspired in
the rhetoric by the American Revolution. It's not revolutionary in
the view of the leftist groups here. So these are
more traditional Democrats, liberal folks who are coming down to
express their disdain over Trump administration policies. So you will
see a variety of science because this is just a
generalized anti Trump movement rather than pro U cam Craine,
(06:03):
anti Israel, or pro Palestine or anti immigration enforcement. It's
it's gonna be a little bit of all of those things.
I bet you'll see a lot of comments about the
federal government shutdown though.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
Michael Monks with the KFI Newsroom, thanks so much, always
good to talk with you.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
You got it all right.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
So it's happening tomorrow and it's very orderly. And as
Monk said, this is more like your aunt who filed
a permit. And that's an important point because I'm not
sure the Boston Tea party would have had the effect
it did if they filed a permit before dumping all
the tea in the Boston Harbor.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
All right, So will any roads get shut down?
Speaker 3 (06:42):
The argument over the five freeways shutdown out in front
of Camp Pendleton on Saturday sparked a major back and
forth between the Marine Corps, Governor Newsom and President Trump.
I'll give you the latest, that's all coming up next,
lou Penrose. And for John Cobelt on KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 5 (07:00):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Louke Penrose.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
If John Cobelt on the John Cobelt Show, Governor Gavenusom
urging you to declare your independence on Saturday in La
no kings.
Speaker 6 (07:19):
A declaration of independence against the tyranny, against lawlessness, and
the context that there was no rule of law.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
It was the rule of king.
Speaker 6 (07:28):
And I think increasingly people are waking up to the
rule of law in this country.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Wow, very dramatic. Who knew.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
I had no idea the encroachment that was going on
on our freedoms. But nonetheless, as I said, I support
rallies demonstrations. I'm not going to them, but you if
you want to, if you want to run on down
to Dollatry, get yourself a whiteboard and scribble out a
sign and stand on a corner and have people honking
(07:56):
wave on a beautiful Saturday. You do it, you do you,
but please make the signs clever. Don't just hold on
to one of those signs that.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
The Union gives you. Make up your own sign.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
That's a good exercise, I think for this evening, after
happy hour kicks in, think deeply, take stock of yourself,
what am I most upset about, and then do a
little wordsmithing and make it clever.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
I mean, come on, this is California.
Speaker 7 (08:26):
No Kings rallies aimed at removing Trump from office will
be held on Saturday. Organizers say about two hundred thousand
people showed up downtown for the last No Kings rally
in June and are hoping to at least mash that
number this weekend.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
Wow, two hundred thousand. That is a ABC seven's Rob Hayes.
He was out there this morning talking about the June rally.
Two hundred thousand is not small, but the group that
was assembled had all kinds of different concerns. As I recall,
I remember that, I remember the No King's movement in
(09:02):
June to be a bunch of different people that just
lost in the election.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
So it was you know, minimum.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
Wage should be higher people, fifteen dollars minimum wage, federal
minimum wage. You had that crowd out there. You had
the obligatory, you know, my body, my choice crowd.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
You had the free, free Palestine.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
You had those people out there, people love, you know,
ushering in the next intifada. And you also just had
your generic I hate Trump, I hate his orange hair,
orange man bad. But there wasn't any like unity. I
got to see teamsters out there. It wasn't like all
(09:51):
one thing. It was a bunch of different things. And
I think some of those concerns have waned. I'm not
sure you're going to see the minimum wage crowd out there.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Who knows.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
I mean, Kaiser nurses are on strike, so maybe they'll
lead the charge. Of course, the Palestine people, they're deflated.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
What are they.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
Chanting about now? They're not gonna chant about anything. So
the entire pro terrorist wing of UCLA, they're not going
to be out there because they're trying to figure out
what they're med at next and they haven't yet landed
on it. So I think it's just gonna be the
view and the viewers of the view. I think it's
(10:36):
going to be the joy Behart. I think it's gonna
be maud. I think Michael Monks is right. It's your aunt.
It's a gray haired aunt from Boston who is liberal
and just hates Trump, and she'll be.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Out there and she'll urge you to honk your horn.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
But I don't know that there are two hundred thousand
Mauds in Los Angeles. And since the real progressives in
the Democrat movement, they want to have a fight, they
want to have a standoff.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
They want to throw rocks and bottles at.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
Law enforcement and have the law enforcement put on the
face shields and then complain that the law enforcement.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Are too militarized.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
Like that crowd is not interested in filling out forms
and applying for permits and going to free speed zones
and staying on the sidewalk. They want to close down
the four h five. So I'm not sure they're going
to be motivated to go out. So it is going
to be interesting. As I said, I'm not I'm not
gonna yuck your yum. If you want to get out
there and walk around and chant with the bongo drums
(11:41):
and the mega horn, you get at it.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
I can't wait to mock you one Monday.
Speaker 7 (11:45):
That really though, grew violent with face offs between protesters
and police.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Oh yeah, that's right. It wasn't completely peaceful.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
There were some face offs because somebody gets out of line.
That's what always happens, and then it one bad apple
spoils the bunch. But whether or not any freeways will
be shut down remains to be seen. The five Freeway
apparently is not being shut down.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
At Camp Pendleton, there was some concern that it was
going to be.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
Gavin Newsom got upset about it, and then according to
Camp Pendleton, it's not being shut down, just the on
ramp and the off ramp into Las Poulgas. But nevertheless,
the rumor out there that Trump is shutting down the
five freeway and affecting eight hundred thousand vehicles for two
hours has been put the rest again.
Speaker 7 (12:34):
As of now, there are no plans to close the
I five freeway, but traffic around downtown on Saturday could
be a mess with that no King's Rally and impossible
Dodgers game.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Oh that's right.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
There could be a Dodgers game, or there could just
be Dodgers game or the celebration and then the aftermath
of the celebration. So yeah, it does remain to be seen.
So the whole five Freeway thing, that was an interesting
little argument. Knew some very upset that there was even
a suggestion that the five Freeway would be shut down.
Now it was to be shut down in San Diego County,
(13:08):
to be fair, not Los Angeles County.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
But Newsom is the governor of the whole state.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
I've never seen him come so concerned about traffic on
the five Freeway by Camp Pendleton. By the way, that's
where I live. I live so close to Camp Pendleton
that my house rattles when they do Howard ser fire
and it's okay. So this idea that there's going to
be live fire demonstrations, my entire house is going to
(13:32):
rattle for the entire afternoon.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
But I can hear the.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
Planes take off, I can hear the helicopters. I can
hear everything, and it's fine with me. It's where I
bought the house. But the five Freeway ten miles north
of Pendleton, ten miles south of Pendleton is a problem
all the time. We tried to resolve at a number
of years ago by building a toll road that would
connect to the five Freeway just north of Pendleton and
(13:57):
take you all the way to the ninety one. Frankly,
you could get to Riverside, you half way to Palm
Springs from the five Freeway directly on a toll road.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
Little the whole.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
System was being built, and the Surf Rider Foundation stopped
all that. So now we just sit in traffic on
the five Freeway from South Orange County all the way
to Oceanside and the other way. So shutting down the
five free would have been a bad thing, but that's
not what's going to happen.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
But the concern that it was going to.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
Happen really upset the governor, which is amazing because, as
we learned back in June for the Last note Kings March,
they did shut down arteries here in Los Angeles every
single It's I think ironic that you have a Democratic
governor that's concerned about a roadway being shut down every
single time. Then President Obama had a fundraiser in Los Angeles.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
In rush hour.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
The entire city was shut down, couldn't get anywhere because
the fundraiser was always in Beverly Hills and the resident
lands at lax And they had to shut down the
whole thing, and nobody cared nobody. Well, motorists cared, but
I never heard boo from the governor. But way down
in San Diego, he's all, uh, he's got the vapors.
(15:13):
Lou Penrose in for John Cobelt on The John Cobelt
Show on KFI AM six forty Live everywhere on the
iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 5 (15:21):
You're listening to John cobelts on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
Lou Penrose in for Cobelt.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
All this week the No King's Movement tomorrow the second
No Kings two. Gavin Newsom, I urge our nation to
use this weekend's No Kings marches as a declaration of
independence against the tyranny and lawlessness currently running the country.
Act peacefully, all caps, protect yourself and your community.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
There are no kings in the United States. Well uh.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
Mornings with Maria, Maria asked President Trump, Hey, uh, are
you a king?
Speaker 1 (16:00):
That's happening this weekend the No King's Rally. King this
is what the king? You know they're saying. They're referring
to me as a king. I'm nothing. Now he says
he's not a king. So what's going on? Is he
a king? Or is he not a king?
Speaker 6 (16:13):
And I hope it's dawning on people how precious this
moment is and what's at stake. And so I hope
people put a steak in the ground, take the opportunity
and time to participate this weekend, but again, do so peacefully.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
Yeah, put a steak in the ground, but do not
put a steak in the ground on private property.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
No King's rally.
Speaker 7 (16:31):
You mean Newsom is actually supporting protesting himself.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Go figure, Gavin Newsoen needs to just shut his mouth.
Speaker 7 (16:40):
I can't even believe that I'm sharing the same oxygen
as that thing.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
I'll tell you.
Speaker 8 (16:44):
What, my body, my choice crowd is the only same
crowd if what you wanted to do to women you
did demand, it would never fly.
Speaker 9 (16:55):
Keep your hands off our.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
Bodies, Roger that I expect my body, my choice to
be well represented.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
I'm not sure what else. The ICE people will probably
be the no on.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
Ice people, so but they don't usually hang out with
each other, so it's a it's a motley.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
Crue right again. I don't think you're going to see
the free Palestine people anymore.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
And I don't know that the minimum wage thing is
happening anymore because it's California, and we have minimum wage laws.
So yeah, look, if my body, my choice crowd wants
to get out there and lead the way and spend
their Saturday afternoon on the corner, that's fine. What I
don't understand is the beef with my body, my choice
(17:39):
crowd in California.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
And I'm pro choice, But I hear this all.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
The time, and we'll see it on Saturday and they'll
they'll find they'll find some woman and they'll interview should
be on television, and she'll say, I'm not here for myself.
I'm here for my daughter, because my daughter will be
the first generation to have fewer rights than I had.
You'll hear that, you know, you'll hear that. You've heard
it before. And I want to ask this woman, what
(18:06):
are you talking about? What right did you have on
January nineteenth that was stripped from you on January twentieth
when Trump was sworn into office.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
And it's always plural rights, and I'm.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
Thinking, name one, maybe one right you had on January
nineteenth that you no longer had on January twentieth. And further,
what right was taken from you in the Trump administration
from twenty sixteen to twenty twenty that was bestowed back
upon you by President Biden and then stripped from you
again on January twentieth of twenty twenty five. And why
(18:46):
were you not mad and marching against President Biden because
he didn't give you your right back. That's what has
to happen. I urged the reporters. You can have that
for free. That's Louke Penro's logic. But you can take that.
That's that's your follow up question. Every one of you
reporters that are going to be sent down in downtown
Los Angeles and you run into one of these women
(19:07):
and she's there with the daughter, and she's talking about
women's rights. Just ask which can you name me one?
Which one of those rights did you lose? They'll always
say the same answer. There's been so many that I
can't even count. Okay, just one, give me a good one.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
Oh, it's the same story, all right.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
So the five Freeway that that's a big controversy now,
and not everybody is fully aware that the five Freeway
is fine.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
Here's A seven's ABC seven's Rob Hayes.
Speaker 4 (19:38):
It was outrage around southern California when it was announced
that the five Freeway could close due to a Trump
administration Marine Corps celebration.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
Now we're learning that will not happen.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
Controversy happening as Los Angeles is preparing for a massive
no Kings protest.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
Right, so they're certainly not going to shut any roads down.
But it is controversial that the five freeway might be
shut down, even though it's not going to be shut down.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
But it's controversial.
Speaker 7 (20:01):
Yeah, well, there was a concern that the Camp Penalton
event would cause the closure of parts of Y five
for safety reasons. That is no longer the case, but
it is still fodder for a tax on the president
from our governor.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
Oh yeah, news said you need to call me before
you shut down any freeways, even though it's an interstate
freeway funded by the Department of Transportation out of the
federal government. But nevertheless, Pendleton said, everything's fine, everything's cool.
But Newsom took his shots, no question about it.
Speaker 6 (20:34):
And then we can do to celebrate our vets, to
celebrate our heroes. I'm all four, let's just do in
coordination and collaboration with state and local leaders. That continues
to be a struggle with this administration.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
Do you think if Trump applied to the Department of
Whatever in Sacramento for a temporary closure of the five
Freeway for the celebration of the two hundred fit, the
anniversary of the Marine Corps. I don't know that that
would get stamped approved. I'm not sure, but something tells me,
(21:13):
oh my goodness. All right, well, it's gonna be a
jam pack freeway for motorists. It's going to be a
beautiful weekend weatherwise, a big Dodger game tonight, so there
could be lots of celebration. Again, I'm not sure how
large this No King's demonstration is going to be. I
urge people to do it. I just say, I mean,
if you want to do it. Newsom says you should
(21:33):
do it. He said here in a statement that you
need to be very careful because if there is any disruption,
then Trump wants there to be problems so that he
can use those problems and exploit them to send into
the National Guard to break it up.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
So behave, not because you should behave.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
Behave because if you misbehave, adults will step been and
compel you to behave and stop damaging private property or
the spray painting public buildings.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
That's an interesting take.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
He says, we were under the understanding that they were
going to close the five freeway up to eighty thousand
vehicles tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
That seems they seem to.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
Have backed off that and they're going to move forward
with a display. But it's not clear that they're not
sharing information with state officials.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
Well, it's not open to the public anyway.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
The Vice President of the United States and the head
of the Pentagon, Pete Hegseth, is going to be I mean,
they're both going to be in California. So keep your
rye in the sky. You'll see the big planes landing
and everything will be right. You would think the governor
would go down there, like why wouldn't Newsom participate?
Speaker 1 (22:50):
But he can't. He can't do anything that Trump sanction.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
We have a want to be authoritarian who every single
day is violating in this constitution, every single day, violations
of the Constitution, name one, so many every single day,
every day, every day he's.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
Violating the Constitution.
Speaker 3 (23:09):
I think we'll hear a lot of that, a lot
of hysteria. You get a lot of liberal white women
in the No Kings movement. You don't see I mean,
you see ethnic politicians and leaders of unions. But for
the most part, the spokespeople are a bunch of liberal
white women in their fifties. So I'm looking forward to
(23:32):
the signs and we'll have a lot of laughs. On Monday,
Loup Penrose in for John Cobelt on The John Cobelt
Show on k I AM six forty Live everywhere on
the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 5 (23:43):
You're listening to John cobelts on demand from KFI AM sixty.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
Loup Penrose in for John Cobelt on The John Cobelt
Show this week coming up, following the news at two
US Navy warships right now holding survivors from a strike
in the Caribbean in the in the Caribbean, a vessel
in the Caribbean that sources say the vessel was struck yesterday.
It moved below water and was possibly a submarine like
(24:11):
vessel used by drug traffickers, so the drug cartels have submarines.
Prior to Thursday's operation, the United States military strikes again
suspected drug boats off Venezuela had left no any known survivors,
and video presented by the Trump administration shows vessels being destroyed.
We'd seen that Trump commented on the Venezuelan dictator Maduro.
(24:37):
They asked him, hey, so we noticed that Maduro wants
to talk. He wants to offer some concessions. He's put
some items on the table. Here was the president's response.
Speaker 7 (24:48):
He has offered everything.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
He's offered everything.
Speaker 7 (24:51):
You're right, you know why, because he doesn't want to
fock around with the United States.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
Thank you, everybody, Thank you Trump dropping the regarding Venezuela
and the drug card.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
Tell that's the king.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
Newsom can't participate in Camp Pendleton because the beta males
are scared of the alpha males.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
He's intimidated by them. That's why he won't go down because.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
To them, he's just a little girl who's winding about
everything and.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
Doesn't he have a state to government.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
Still, I think you forgot what a dumpster fire in
California is.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
Newsom does a lot of tweeting.
Speaker 8 (25:25):
Understand, as a woman within my body, my choice. These
are the same women that are saying it's okay for
boys to be in young girls' locker rooms. Okay, So
do we want to protect women or do we not
want to protect the women? You can't have it both ways.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
That's what my wife keeps asking, So Martin, Kay's kind
of a do as I say, not as I do
type of thing, like be sure and wear your masks and.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
Don't go out and eat in public.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
But I'm going to go to this restaurant, eat and
have my picture taken.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
Yeah, I understand.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
Yeah, It's going to be interesting to see where Newsom
is tomorrow with the celebration down at Camp Pendleton with
the Vice President and the Secretary of Defense now the
Secretary of War, and all the demonstrations. Certainly there's going
to be demonstrations in Los Angeles and its San Francisco
and pretty much on every street corner. And it's a
busy Saturday because it's fall and a lot of us
(26:13):
have things to do, and it's also.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
Time to buy a new computer.
Speaker 9 (26:18):
Microsoft officially ended support for Windows ten earlier this week.
Your computer may still work, but it won't get maintenance
or security updates going forward.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
Microsoft is also.
Speaker 9 (26:28):
Debuting additional artificially intelligent features for its Copilot personal assistant.
For starters, Microsoft lets you activate it by simply saying, Hey, Copilots.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
Oh wow, look at that.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
So not offering any security features sounds bad. So if
you've not yet purchased a new computer. You need to
do it, and then if you need support, you're going
to be on hold for quite some time. But yeah,
the mouse and the keyboard will go away. I still
think the mouse is magic. I remember when the mouse
first came out and I thought, how do they do this?
Speaker 1 (27:02):
How is this happening?
Speaker 3 (27:04):
And now that that technology is so old that it
won't even you.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
Won't even you won't even have anything. There'll be nothing
on the desk.
Speaker 3 (27:11):
They'll just be the screen, the computers already inside the screen.
I saw this like the latest versions of these computers
are just self contained.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
Monitors, so there's no tower, there's no wires, and you
just plug it into the wall and you talk.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
To it like they did in the Batcave with Batman.
So that's going to be the new way.
Speaker 9 (27:36):
That's been a smartphone feature for a while now. But
Microsoft wants you to start talking to your computer and
use your mouse and keyboard less.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
Epen Brown Fox News All right, so no more keyboard?
Speaker 3 (27:47):
Are they still doing keyboard classes in school? I guess
that's going to go by the wayside. That worked right
for typewriter classes that really had legs because people were
able to translate that into the new technology. No more typewriters,
but we're able to keyboard, no more hunting and packing
with just one finger. So again, if you don't have
(28:10):
a new computer, you got to get one right away
and get it all installed. If you have an old computer,
you can still download Microsoft Windows eleven for free, but
you would have had to upgrade the processor.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
So unless you know what.
Speaker 3 (28:23):
You're doing, or you listen to one of these tech
shows on the weekends on KFI, don't start getting involved
with that. Just order the whole new computer, have it
chipped to your house, and then stay on hold like.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
The rest of us.
Speaker 3 (28:36):
All right, So coming up, oh lor Angele, formerly with KFI,
now with News Nation. She has the latest on the
strike and the continuations of the strike and a lot
of criticism of the Trump administration for going this route.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
And I have to agree with the criticism.
Speaker 3 (28:54):
If you can destroy a vessel, then you can stop
the vessel and arrest everybody on the vessel and get
information from them. That would be good, knowing where they
who they are, who hired them, where they're exactly coming from,
and more importantly, where they're going and who they're meeting.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
Here in the United States or in the Caribbean or
wherever they're going. That's like, all really good. Intel.
Speaker 3 (29:24):
I understand that the President is fed up with drug
trafficking and he wants to stop the drugs coming into
the United States, and he wants to put pressure on
some of these South American countries for enabling it or
allowing it, or otherwise not doing more to stop it.
That's all good, and I'm all on board. But it
seems to me that apprehending a bad guy alive puts
(29:47):
us in a much better position than just having all
that stuff sink to the bottom of the sea.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
And it sounds like now we do.
Speaker 3 (29:54):
Now we do have somebody aboard a navy ship in
the Caribbean, and we'll find out what he knows. So
we will talk about it and find out where this
goes next. This is a real concentration for the White House.
They are really focused on this, and it's become an
issue really for Central and South American nations who don't
have complete control over the underground drug cartels in their
(30:18):
countries and have other priorities like poverty.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
Of their citizen citizens. So we'll see where this takes us.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
But again, now that we have a couple of them alive,
we can question them. You can always kill them later.
But I like catching the bad guys alive. I think
it's always a good idea. I don't like when people
die in custody. I don't like when people get killed
in a chase. I don't like when bad guys take
(30:48):
their own life and a shootout. If we can keep
them alive and talk to them, maybe we can learn something.
But if they're dead, you can't find out anything, and
that's no good. So we'll talk about that all coming
up next with lor Engel from News Nation. That's all
coming up next. Lou Penrose sitting here for John Coblt
on The John Cobalt Show on KFI AM six forty,
(31:08):
live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
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.
Caf I Am six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
You're listening to the John Cobelt podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (00:06):
Lou Penrose in for co Belt all this week. Thanks
for tuning in. So tomorrow is the big No King's
March nationwide and here in Los Angeles, Governor Gavin Newsom
in a statement, I urge our nation to use this
weekend's No Kings marches as a declaration of independence. Two
hundred thousand folks in Los Angeles in June at that
(00:30):
No King's March, and the question is will there be
less more or about the same.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Kfi's Michael Monks is in.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
The KFI newsroom with a preview of what's to come
on Saturday. Hey, Lou, Yes, absolutely, this was a big,
big showing back on June fourteenth, for that first No
King State protest. I was down there in downtown LA
with this crew that showed up, and it was massive.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
I mean, the streets were absolutely packed. Probably one of
the largest demonstrations I've seen in LA, and goodness knows,
there are consistently demonstrations in LA, particularly downtown. So the
first one was a pretty big success because there was
a lot of pent up anger for folks. There were
no elections, of course, between the inauguration of President Trump
and the summer starting and the immigration enforcement starting here.
(01:16):
So this was an opportunity for folks not only in
Los Angeles but across the country who disagree with Trump
to put that energy into something. So it was alluring,
it was exciting for them, and it was a big turnout,
and it was also a peaceful demonstration. And I point
that out because this isn't a leftist group that puts
(01:37):
this on. This is more of a traditional liberal Democrat
type organization. This fifty to fifty one group that puts
on the no Kings marks. That's a reference to fifty
protests fifty States one movement. And in fact, leftist groups
even here in Los Angeles don't like this crew.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
They say they work too closely with the lice and.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
That sort of thing, and so this is just your
aunt with her Starbucks cup kind of thing.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Well look, hey, in Portland, they do it on bicycles
with no clothes on. So you know, I think we're
a little we're a little more just stately here in
Los Angeles. But the governor did spend some time talking
about violence. He really urged stressed and implored people to
keep it peaceful.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
I think this is great.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
I make a living with free speech. You do too, right,
this radio station does. So this is what we are
designed to do as a nation. We have grievances. Go
make a sign and let's read the signs and get
a national conversation going, or regional conversation, or a conversation
right here in Los.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Angeles for what the beef is and I move forward.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
Yeah, And this is a reference to the original American grievance.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Right, no kings.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
That's the message from this group, a purport that Donald
Trump has royal tendencies, we should say, or maybe authoritarian tendencies,
and that's what they're speaking out against. And you know, look,
will there be the turnout that there was in June?
Not sure, you know, because there has been a lot
of stuff that is said. This was a busy summer
(03:07):
that we've had. It's been a head spinning year this
first year of the second Trump administration. If you don't
like the president, if you don't like the administration just
in general, I don't know what wish is you you pick,
you know, because he has been able to push through
a lot of his policy goals, maybe not to the
level he wants to, but when you look specifically at
(03:29):
immigration and the way that it has affected Los Angeles,
it has been successful in one arresting and deporting people
and in two sticking into his enemies. He loves that too,
There's no question about that. Will there be the turnout
that there was in June, I think that's what this
organization wants to see, because a protest, more than anything like,
(03:50):
it's not going to oppose the president.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
They know that. They just want the visuals.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
They want guys like us down there showing the sheer
number of folks that are showing up to express their
disillusion with the current American government. It's just a show
that there is an opposition out there.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
There are some big folks.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
Behind this, the SEIU Union, which has one hundred thousand
members here. They had a press conference this morning along
with the organizers of the No Kings movement. They have
asked their folks to show up, and labor's big here
and they are mobilized. So if it's powered by the
labor unions, you can expect at least a pretty good turnout.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Yeah, it's also going to be interesting to see what's
on those signs? Like I like reading reading the signs,
the handmade signs of the best, but what's because what
is the overwhelming thought? Is it, you know, an opposition
to a heavy handed approach toward interior enforcement of immigration law.
Right anti ice is a pro likee pro choice. We
(04:49):
see some of that last time in June.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
It was a lot of.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Free Palestine signs that probably has fizzled out now that
that conflict has been settled, at least as far as
the Dipple concern.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Ukrainian flags we're going to see.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Those, so that will be interesting to see the complexion,
if you will, of the mosaic of the protest.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
I think the answer is probably yes, yes, yes, and yes,
because this is such a generalized protest. And I think
that's the reason that I have found leftist groups here
in LA don't like this, because one, they're not antagonistic
towards police and authority. They're not sitting down and blocking
the freeway. It's not that kind of thing. This is
just a look at us, we're upset about something. And
(05:29):
by the way, we have a permit for this, you know.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
Right, that's not revolutionary filing a permit for crying out out.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Louja nailed it.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
It's not revolutionary, even though it's kind of inspired in
the rhetoric by the American Revolution. It's not revolutionary in
the view of the leftist groups here. So these are
more traditional Democrats, liberal folks who are coming down to
express their disdain over Trump administration policies. So you will
see a variety of science because this is just a
generalized anti Trump movement rather than pro U cam Craine,
(06:03):
anti Israel, or pro Palestine or anti immigration enforcement. It's
it's gonna be a little bit of all of those things.
I bet you'll see a lot of comments about the
federal government shutdown though.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
Michael Monks with the KFI Newsroom, thanks so much, always
good to talk with you.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
You got it all right.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
So it's happening tomorrow and it's very orderly. And as
Monk said, this is more like your aunt who filed
a permit. And that's an important point because I'm not
sure the Boston Tea party would have had the effect
it did if they filed a permit before dumping all
the tea in the Boston Harbor.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
All right, So will any roads get shut down?
Speaker 3 (06:42):
The argument over the five freeways shutdown out in front
of Camp Pendleton on Saturday sparked a major back and
forth between the Marine Corps, Governor Newsom and President Trump.
I'll give you the latest, that's all coming up next,
lou Penrose. And for John Cobelt on KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 5 (07:00):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Louke Penrose.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
If John Cobelt on the John Cobelt Show, Governor Gavenusom
urging you to declare your independence on Saturday in La
no kings.
Speaker 6 (07:19):
A declaration of independence against the tyranny, against lawlessness, and
the context that there was no rule of law.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
It was the rule of king.
Speaker 6 (07:28):
And I think increasingly people are waking up to the
rule of law in this country.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Wow, very dramatic. Who knew.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
I had no idea the encroachment that was going on
on our freedoms. But nonetheless, as I said, I support
rallies demonstrations. I'm not going to them, but you if
you want to, if you want to run on down
to Dollatry, get yourself a whiteboard and scribble out a
sign and stand on a corner and have people honking
(07:56):
wave on a beautiful Saturday. You do it, you do you,
but please make the signs clever. Don't just hold on
to one of those signs that.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
The Union gives you. Make up your own sign.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
That's a good exercise, I think for this evening, after
happy hour kicks in, think deeply, take stock of yourself,
what am I most upset about, and then do a
little wordsmithing and make it clever.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
I mean, come on, this is California.
Speaker 7 (08:26):
No Kings rallies aimed at removing Trump from office will
be held on Saturday. Organizers say about two hundred thousand
people showed up downtown for the last No Kings rally
in June and are hoping to at least mash that
number this weekend.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
Wow, two hundred thousand. That is a ABC seven's Rob Hayes.
He was out there this morning talking about the June rally.
Two hundred thousand is not small, but the group that
was assembled had all kinds of different concerns. As I recall,
I remember that, I remember the No King's movement in
(09:02):
June to be a bunch of different people that just
lost in the election.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
So it was you know, minimum.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
Wage should be higher people, fifteen dollars minimum wage, federal
minimum wage. You had that crowd out there. You had
the obligatory, you know, my body, my choice crowd.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
You had the free, free Palestine.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
You had those people out there, people love, you know,
ushering in the next intifada. And you also just had
your generic I hate Trump, I hate his orange hair,
orange man bad. But there wasn't any like unity. I
got to see teamsters out there. It wasn't like all
(09:51):
one thing. It was a bunch of different things. And
I think some of those concerns have waned. I'm not
sure you're going to see the minimum wage crowd out there.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Who knows.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
I mean, Kaiser nurses are on strike, so maybe they'll
lead the charge. Of course, the Palestine people, they're deflated.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
What are they.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
Chanting about now? They're not gonna chant about anything. So
the entire pro terrorist wing of UCLA, they're not going
to be out there because they're trying to figure out
what they're med at next and they haven't yet landed
on it. So I think it's just gonna be the
view and the viewers of the view. I think it's
(10:36):
going to be the joy Behart. I think it's gonna
be maud. I think Michael Monks is right. It's your aunt.
It's a gray haired aunt from Boston who is liberal
and just hates Trump, and she'll be.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Out there and she'll urge you to honk your horn.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
But I don't know that there are two hundred thousand
Mauds in Los Angeles. And since the real progressives in
the Democrat movement, they want to have a fight, they
want to have a standoff.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
They want to throw rocks and bottles at.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
Law enforcement and have the law enforcement put on the
face shields and then complain that the law enforcement.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Are too militarized.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
Like that crowd is not interested in filling out forms
and applying for permits and going to free speed zones
and staying on the sidewalk. They want to close down
the four h five. So I'm not sure they're going
to be motivated to go out. So it is going
to be interesting. As I said, I'm not I'm not
gonna yuck your yum. If you want to get out
there and walk around and chant with the bongo drums
(11:41):
and the mega horn, you get at it.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
I can't wait to mock you one Monday.
Speaker 7 (11:45):
That really though, grew violent with face offs between protesters
and police.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Oh yeah, that's right. It wasn't completely peaceful.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
There were some face offs because somebody gets out of line.
That's what always happens, and then it one bad apple
spoils the bunch. But whether or not any freeways will
be shut down remains to be seen. The five Freeway
apparently is not being shut down.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
At Camp Pendleton, there was some concern that it was
going to be.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
Gavin Newsom got upset about it, and then according to
Camp Pendleton, it's not being shut down, just the on
ramp and the off ramp into Las Poulgas. But nevertheless,
the rumor out there that Trump is shutting down the
five freeway and affecting eight hundred thousand vehicles for two
hours has been put the rest again.
Speaker 7 (12:34):
As of now, there are no plans to close the
I five freeway, but traffic around downtown on Saturday could
be a mess with that no King's Rally and impossible
Dodgers game.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Oh that's right.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
There could be a Dodgers game, or there could just
be Dodgers game or the celebration and then the aftermath
of the celebration. So yeah, it does remain to be seen.
So the whole five Freeway thing, that was an interesting
little argument. Knew some very upset that there was even
a suggestion that the five Freeway would be shut down.
Now it was to be shut down in San Diego County,
(13:08):
to be fair, not Los Angeles County.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
But Newsom is the governor of the whole state.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
I've never seen him come so concerned about traffic on
the five Freeway by Camp Pendleton. By the way, that's
where I live. I live so close to Camp Pendleton
that my house rattles when they do Howard ser fire
and it's okay. So this idea that there's going to
be live fire demonstrations, my entire house is going to
(13:32):
rattle for the entire afternoon.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
But I can hear the.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
Planes take off, I can hear the helicopters. I can
hear everything, and it's fine with me. It's where I
bought the house. But the five Freeway ten miles north
of Pendleton, ten miles south of Pendleton is a problem
all the time. We tried to resolve at a number
of years ago by building a toll road that would
connect to the five Freeway just north of Pendleton and
(13:57):
take you all the way to the ninety one. Frankly,
you could get to Riverside, you half way to Palm
Springs from the five Freeway directly on a toll road.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
Little the whole.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
System was being built, and the Surf Rider Foundation stopped
all that. So now we just sit in traffic on
the five Freeway from South Orange County all the way
to Oceanside and the other way. So shutting down the
five free would have been a bad thing, but that's
not what's going to happen.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
But the concern that it was going to.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
Happen really upset the governor, which is amazing because, as
we learned back in June for the Last note Kings March,
they did shut down arteries here in Los Angeles every
single It's I think ironic that you have a Democratic
governor that's concerned about a roadway being shut down every
single time. Then President Obama had a fundraiser in Los Angeles.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
In rush hour.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
The entire city was shut down, couldn't get anywhere because
the fundraiser was always in Beverly Hills and the resident
lands at lax And they had to shut down the
whole thing, and nobody cared nobody. Well, motorists cared, but
I never heard boo from the governor. But way down
in San Diego, he's all, uh, he's got the vapors.
(15:13):
Lou Penrose in for John Cobelt on The John Cobelt
Show on KFI AM six forty Live everywhere on the
iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 5 (15:21):
You're listening to John cobelts on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
Lou Penrose in for Cobelt.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
All this week the No King's Movement tomorrow the second
No Kings two. Gavin Newsom, I urge our nation to
use this weekend's No Kings marches as a declaration of
independence against the tyranny and lawlessness currently running the country.
Act peacefully, all caps, protect yourself and your community.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
There are no kings in the United States. Well uh.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
Mornings with Maria, Maria asked President Trump, Hey, uh, are
you a king?
Speaker 1 (16:00):
That's happening this weekend the No King's Rally. King this
is what the king? You know they're saying. They're referring
to me as a king. I'm nothing. Now he says
he's not a king. So what's going on? Is he
a king? Or is he not a king?
Speaker 6 (16:13):
And I hope it's dawning on people how precious this
moment is and what's at stake. And so I hope
people put a steak in the ground, take the opportunity
and time to participate this weekend, but again, do so peacefully.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
Yeah, put a steak in the ground, but do not
put a steak in the ground on private property.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
No King's rally.
Speaker 7 (16:31):
You mean Newsom is actually supporting protesting himself.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Go figure, Gavin Newsoen needs to just shut his mouth.
Speaker 7 (16:40):
I can't even believe that I'm sharing the same oxygen
as that thing.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
I'll tell you.
Speaker 8 (16:44):
What, my body, my choice crowd is the only same
crowd if what you wanted to do to women you
did demand, it would never fly.
Speaker 9 (16:55):
Keep your hands off our.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
Bodies, Roger that I expect my body, my choice to
be well represented.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
I'm not sure what else. The ICE people will probably
be the no on.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
Ice people, so but they don't usually hang out with
each other, so it's a it's a motley.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
Crue right again. I don't think you're going to see
the free Palestine people anymore.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
And I don't know that the minimum wage thing is
happening anymore because it's California, and we have minimum wage laws.
So yeah, look, if my body, my choice crowd wants
to get out there and lead the way and spend
their Saturday afternoon on the corner, that's fine. What I
don't understand is the beef with my body, my choice
(17:39):
crowd in California.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
And I'm pro choice, But I hear this all.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
The time, and we'll see it on Saturday and they'll
they'll find they'll find some woman and they'll interview should
be on television, and she'll say, I'm not here for myself.
I'm here for my daughter, because my daughter will be
the first generation to have fewer rights than I had.
You'll hear that, you know, you'll hear that. You've heard
it before. And I want to ask this woman, what
(18:06):
are you talking about? What right did you have on
January nineteenth that was stripped from you on January twentieth
when Trump was sworn into office.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
And it's always plural rights, and I'm.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
Thinking, name one, maybe one right you had on January
nineteenth that you no longer had on January twentieth. And further,
what right was taken from you in the Trump administration
from twenty sixteen to twenty twenty that was bestowed back
upon you by President Biden and then stripped from you
again on January twentieth of twenty twenty five. And why
(18:46):
were you not mad and marching against President Biden because
he didn't give you your right back. That's what has
to happen. I urged the reporters. You can have that
for free. That's Louke Penro's logic. But you can take that.
That's that's your follow up question. Every one of you
reporters that are going to be sent down in downtown
Los Angeles and you run into one of these women
(19:07):
and she's there with the daughter, and she's talking about
women's rights. Just ask which can you name me one?
Which one of those rights did you lose? They'll always
say the same answer. There's been so many that I
can't even count. Okay, just one, give me a good one.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
Oh, it's the same story, all right.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
So the five Freeway that that's a big controversy now,
and not everybody is fully aware that the five Freeway
is fine.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
Here's A seven's ABC seven's Rob Hayes.
Speaker 4 (19:38):
It was outrage around southern California when it was announced
that the five Freeway could close due to a Trump
administration Marine Corps celebration.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
Now we're learning that will not happen.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
Controversy happening as Los Angeles is preparing for a massive
no Kings protest.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
Right, so they're certainly not going to shut any roads down.
But it is controversial that the five freeway might be
shut down, even though it's not going to be shut down.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
But it's controversial.
Speaker 7 (20:01):
Yeah, well, there was a concern that the Camp Penalton
event would cause the closure of parts of Y five
for safety reasons. That is no longer the case, but
it is still fodder for a tax on the president
from our governor.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
Oh yeah, news said you need to call me before
you shut down any freeways, even though it's an interstate
freeway funded by the Department of Transportation out of the
federal government. But nevertheless, Pendleton said, everything's fine, everything's cool.
But Newsom took his shots, no question about it.
Speaker 6 (20:34):
And then we can do to celebrate our vets, to
celebrate our heroes. I'm all four, let's just do in
coordination and collaboration with state and local leaders. That continues
to be a struggle with this administration.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
Do you think if Trump applied to the Department of
Whatever in Sacramento for a temporary closure of the five
Freeway for the celebration of the two hundred fit, the
anniversary of the Marine Corps. I don't know that that
would get stamped approved. I'm not sure, but something tells me,
(21:13):
oh my goodness. All right, well, it's gonna be a
jam pack freeway for motorists. It's going to be a
beautiful weekend weatherwise, a big Dodger game tonight, so there
could be lots of celebration. Again, I'm not sure how
large this No King's demonstration is going to be. I
urge people to do it. I just say, I mean,
if you want to do it. Newsom says you should
(21:33):
do it. He said here in a statement that you
need to be very careful because if there is any disruption,
then Trump wants there to be problems so that he
can use those problems and exploit them to send into
the National Guard to break it up.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
So behave, not because you should behave.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
Behave because if you misbehave, adults will step been and
compel you to behave and stop damaging private property or
the spray painting public buildings.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
That's an interesting take.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
He says, we were under the understanding that they were
going to close the five freeway up to eighty thousand
vehicles tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
That seems they seem to.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
Have backed off that and they're going to move forward
with a display. But it's not clear that they're not
sharing information with state officials.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
Well, it's not open to the public anyway.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
The Vice President of the United States and the head
of the Pentagon, Pete Hegseth, is going to be I mean,
they're both going to be in California. So keep your
rye in the sky. You'll see the big planes landing
and everything will be right. You would think the governor
would go down there, like why wouldn't Newsom participate?
Speaker 1 (22:50):
But he can't. He can't do anything that Trump sanction.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
We have a want to be authoritarian who every single
day is violating in this constitution, every single day, violations
of the Constitution, name one, so many every single day,
every day, every day he's.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
Violating the Constitution.
Speaker 3 (23:09):
I think we'll hear a lot of that, a lot
of hysteria. You get a lot of liberal white women
in the No Kings movement. You don't see I mean,
you see ethnic politicians and leaders of unions. But for
the most part, the spokespeople are a bunch of liberal
white women in their fifties. So I'm looking forward to
(23:32):
the signs and we'll have a lot of laughs. On Monday,
Loup Penrose in for John Cobelt on The John Cobelt
Show on k I AM six forty Live everywhere on
the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 5 (23:43):
You're listening to John cobelts on demand from KFI AM sixty.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
Loup Penrose in for John Cobelt on The John Cobelt
Show this week coming up, following the news at two
US Navy warships right now holding survivors from a strike
in the Caribbean in the in the Caribbean, a vessel
in the Caribbean that sources say the vessel was struck yesterday.
It moved below water and was possibly a submarine like
(24:11):
vessel used by drug traffickers, so the drug cartels have submarines.
Prior to Thursday's operation, the United States military strikes again
suspected drug boats off Venezuela had left no any known survivors,
and video presented by the Trump administration shows vessels being destroyed.
We'd seen that Trump commented on the Venezuelan dictator Maduro.
(24:37):
They asked him, hey, so we noticed that Maduro wants
to talk. He wants to offer some concessions. He's put
some items on the table. Here was the president's response.
Speaker 7 (24:48):
He has offered everything.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
He's offered everything.
Speaker 7 (24:51):
You're right, you know why, because he doesn't want to
fock around with the United States.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
Thank you, everybody, Thank you Trump dropping the regarding Venezuela
and the drug card.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
Tell that's the king.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
Newsom can't participate in Camp Pendleton because the beta males
are scared of the alpha males.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
He's intimidated by them. That's why he won't go down because.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
To them, he's just a little girl who's winding about
everything and.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
Doesn't he have a state to government.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
Still, I think you forgot what a dumpster fire in
California is.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
Newsom does a lot of tweeting.
Speaker 8 (25:25):
Understand, as a woman within my body, my choice. These
are the same women that are saying it's okay for
boys to be in young girls' locker rooms. Okay, So
do we want to protect women or do we not
want to protect the women? You can't have it both ways.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
That's what my wife keeps asking, So Martin, Kay's kind
of a do as I say, not as I do
type of thing, like be sure and wear your masks and.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
Don't go out and eat in public.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
But I'm going to go to this restaurant, eat and
have my picture taken.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
Yeah, I understand.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
Yeah, It's going to be interesting to see where Newsom
is tomorrow with the celebration down at Camp Pendleton with
the Vice President and the Secretary of Defense now the
Secretary of War, and all the demonstrations. Certainly there's going
to be demonstrations in Los Angeles and its San Francisco
and pretty much on every street corner. And it's a
busy Saturday because it's fall and a lot of us
(26:13):
have things to do, and it's also.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
Time to buy a new computer.
Speaker 9 (26:18):
Microsoft officially ended support for Windows ten earlier this week.
Your computer may still work, but it won't get maintenance
or security updates going forward.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
Microsoft is also.
Speaker 9 (26:28):
Debuting additional artificially intelligent features for its Copilot personal assistant.
For starters, Microsoft lets you activate it by simply saying, Hey, Copilots.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
Oh wow, look at that.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
So not offering any security features sounds bad. So if
you've not yet purchased a new computer. You need to
do it, and then if you need support, you're going
to be on hold for quite some time. But yeah,
the mouse and the keyboard will go away. I still
think the mouse is magic. I remember when the mouse
first came out and I thought, how do they do this?
Speaker 1 (27:02):
How is this happening?
Speaker 3 (27:04):
And now that that technology is so old that it
won't even you.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
Won't even you won't even have anything. There'll be nothing
on the desk.
Speaker 3 (27:11):
They'll just be the screen, the computers already inside the screen.
I saw this like the latest versions of these computers
are just self contained.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
Monitors, so there's no tower, there's no wires, and you
just plug it into the wall and you talk.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
To it like they did in the Batcave with Batman.
So that's going to be the new way.
Speaker 9 (27:36):
That's been a smartphone feature for a while now. But
Microsoft wants you to start talking to your computer and
use your mouse and keyboard less.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
Epen Brown Fox News All right, so no more keyboard?
Speaker 3 (27:47):
Are they still doing keyboard classes in school? I guess
that's going to go by the wayside. That worked right
for typewriter classes that really had legs because people were
able to translate that into the new technology. No more typewriters,
but we're able to keyboard, no more hunting and packing
with just one finger. So again, if you don't have
(28:10):
a new computer, you got to get one right away
and get it all installed. If you have an old computer,
you can still download Microsoft Windows eleven for free, but
you would have had to upgrade the processor.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
So unless you know what.
Speaker 3 (28:23):
You're doing, or you listen to one of these tech
shows on the weekends on KFI, don't start getting involved
with that. Just order the whole new computer, have it
chipped to your house, and then stay on hold like.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
The rest of us.
Speaker 3 (28:36):
All right, So coming up, oh lor Angele, formerly with KFI,
now with News Nation. She has the latest on the
strike and the continuations of the strike and a lot
of criticism of the Trump administration for going this route.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
And I have to agree with the criticism.
Speaker 3 (28:54):
If you can destroy a vessel, then you can stop
the vessel and arrest everybody on the vessel and get
information from them. That would be good, knowing where they
who they are, who hired them, where they're exactly coming from,
and more importantly, where they're going and who they're meeting.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
Here in the United States or in the Caribbean or
wherever they're going. That's like, all really good. Intel.
Speaker 3 (29:24):
I understand that the President is fed up with drug
trafficking and he wants to stop the drugs coming into
the United States, and he wants to put pressure on
some of these South American countries for enabling it or
allowing it, or otherwise not doing more to stop it.
That's all good, and I'm all on board. But it
seems to me that apprehending a bad guy alive puts
(29:47):
us in a much better position than just having all
that stuff sink to the bottom of the sea.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
And it sounds like now we do.
Speaker 3 (29:54):
Now we do have somebody aboard a navy ship in
the Caribbean, and we'll find out what he knows. So
we will talk about it and find out where this
goes next. This is a real concentration for the White House.
They are really focused on this, and it's become an
issue really for Central and South American nations who don't
have complete control over the underground drug cartels in their
(30:18):
countries and have other priorities like poverty.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
Of their citizen citizens. So we'll see where this takes us.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
But again, now that we have a couple of them alive,
we can question them. You can always kill them later.
But I like catching the bad guys alive. I think
it's always a good idea. I don't like when people
die in custody. I don't like when people get killed
in a chase. I don't like when bad guys take
(30:48):
their own life and a shootout. If we can keep
them alive and talk to them, maybe we can learn something.
But if they're dead, you can't find out anything, and
that's no good. So we'll talk about that all coming
up next with lor Engel from News Nation. That's all
coming up next. Lou Penrose sitting here for John Coblt
