Show on demand on the iHeart app.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Oh, just a little rundown this afternoon. You're starting your
day at one o'clock.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Yeah, I know, I know where. Oh I forgot. You've
been slaving away there for hours already.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
I know I have.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
I've been on the air since ten thirty. Thank you
very much.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
I uh know, I got a bit really early because
I get up early early. But last night I was
on CNN. Alex Michaelson has a new show called The
Story Is, and he part of it his panel discussions,
the same as the old show he had in Fox eleven.
And uh so he paired me and Lisa Bloom up
(01:09):
and that was that was noisy. She she she's Gloria
Alward's daughter. She's an attorney, civil rights attorney. Uh and
I just she came out just wailing away on it.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
She was angry with you.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
I don't think.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
I don't know, she was just just yelling at me.
I'm not a fan.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
I Uh, I mean they it looks like to pair
us up because we have deep divisions and the way
we view the world. But wow, so you know jumped
in started wailing away at each other.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Why don't did you hit her?
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Huh?
Speaker 3 (01:53):
Did I hear her? I think that would have made
the news if I hit her now, if she had
hit me last night, would not have surprised me. Definitely
would have made CNN.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Huh.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
It didn't seem like she's going to hit me. It
was pretty close. Yeah, she put her finger in your
face a couple of times.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
That's right, that's right, finger pointing right in the face, Like,
what the hell's going on here? We got a little clip.
I think this is on Prop fifty. We were arguing about.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Everybody seemed to enjoy watching it. All right, go ahead
play it now.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
The Republicans are representing Republicans, and is it fair if
this whole thing happens with Prop fifty, that people that
live in fairy Republican areas are now going to be
represented by Democratic members who really are not representing their interests.
Speaker 5 (02:50):
No, it's not fair, but it's the only thing that
we can do now that Texas is picking up five
seats unfairly.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Will you tell me democracy is under threat?
Speaker 3 (02:57):
Now you're taking a Republican concress what there might have
been there for decades from rural areas in California. And
I saw one of the districts it's drawn from the
from East California all the way to Marine County, Texas.
Speaker 5 (03:10):
I did, I said, Californiafornia, Texas start.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
We agree on that Texas started the problem, but that
doesn't mean Californians lose their Congress.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
That makes it's two different stands. I don't care what
they do in.
Speaker 6 (03:30):
There.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
You go, do you have you don't have to play
it now.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
But the bus clip, I think it was near the
end we were talking about mom Donnie.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Oh yeah, when you're talking about New York.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Yeah yeah, And she was carrying on about the billionaires
have to pay for the free buses.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Yeah, go go go find that clip. That was just
as eliminating as well.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Uh they well, I mean I she did, you know
at the end of that, because you're on light television
this time, you know, usually you're on Fox eleven. Right,
we were on CNN International. We were on all over
the world, yelling at each other. Here's my introduction to
(04:11):
the world. But she was she swiveled her chair around.
She was like pointing her finger in my face. You
didn't back down, No, I didn't back down.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
But everybody said it was entertaining.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
You never know how that stuff plays, you know, and
it was over before you know it.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
And I was thinking, what the hell? What just happened?
Speaker 3 (04:33):
So I got to a bit like two hours late,
and I had I had a dream of Zoran Madami
last night. I did, probably because I was I was
still like processing the whole, the whole thing. But I
didn't sleep well. I get my adrenaline up that late
and it disrupts.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
You know that Trump is endorsing Cuomo over Mandanni.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
Well it's the only choice, you know, I mean Cuomo.
In fact, that was another thing at the end. You know,
she was going by, he's a sexual harasser, and I said,
I'd rather have a sexual harasser.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Than a communist. My wife was a gas at that one.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
I go, it's true. You know, the women can fight
him off. You get a communist in charge, we're all
at the communist mercy here. I mean, he could destroy
a lot quickly. And that city Council in New York
City is like the LA City Council. And I'm really
interested in this because that's coming here next. You know,
(05:31):
Bass is like one step off the communist reservation, but
the next one coming down the pike because you got five.
I think democratic socialists on the city council and democratic
socialist is like the modern twenty first century term for
a communist. If you go read their website. The DSA
is about reviving communism, but they do it in a
(05:52):
very expressed themselves, in a very delicate and nuanced way,
because they know they have to be come acceptable to
the mainstream.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
And so you tiptoe a little bit, you you couch.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
Your rhetoric, and then when you get in power, all
hell's going to break loose. They're communists. Don't trust them,
the DSA. I think back in the fifties, I think
we would have we would have taken care of the DSA.
They would have been dragged before some government committee. You
(06:29):
got the buses, play the buses.
Speaker 5 (06:31):
The Republican Party is denying food benefits to people right now.
The Democrats actually care about lowering prices, getting groceries to people,
and free and fast buses is a great platform, and
we should.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Have fast buses.
Speaker 7 (06:43):
We should have that.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Nobody.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
So where do you get the money to pay for
the free bust by taxing billionaires?
Speaker 5 (06:47):
You know, New York City is not just for the billionaires,
it's for.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
The working You're concerned though, that that may drive some
of those billionaires to.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Leave New York.
Speaker 5 (06:54):
People have been saying that for years, and taxes have
been raised on billionaires when they're not leaving out.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
New York, Tea and Florida. Well, then how do you
pay for the buses? If you let them all go?
Speaker 5 (07:06):
Because they're you mean to let them all go? They
can go now if they want to go.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
People love New York State. You've moved to Dallas and
Miami and let them go.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Let them go.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
Wait, the billionaires are supposed to pay everything, but they're
gonna move out. We'll let them go. Well, then who's
gonna pay for everything? You chase all the they go.
I mean Jeff Bezus relocated to Florida as an example. Uh,
Elon Musk moved to his headquarters for Tesla to Austin, Texas.
You know how many, well, Eric, you'd know this. How
(07:40):
many major sports figures live in Florida? Now I know
there's there's a whole complex, I think to Orlando. Oh yeah,
Shack lives there, Michael Jordan lives there.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
And just in general, players want to play in places
like Florida and Texas for no state income tax purposes
in general. Right, yeah, And and now one of the states.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Oh jeez, I forgot I heard it.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
I heard it this morning wants to impose a five
percent tax on your stock market holdings, even if you
haven't sold them. Okay, you haven't sold your stocks and
recorded the profit. You just have the stocks, and they
want to tax you five percent. Well, you do that,
(08:21):
you are going to lose every person who holds a
significant amount of stock because those aren't profits. Those because
the stock could drop at any point. You could have
the stock market drop at thirty or forty percent in
a week. It's it's happened several times in our lifetime.
(08:43):
But they want to tax what it is. Now, nobody
is going to sit around and let that happen. Everyone's
going to move their residence to another state. I mean,
the left wing is so far left and stream now
and they just want to confiscate all the money that
(09:04):
any wealthy person has legally accumulated.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
I don't understand that. I've said this before.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
Jeff Bezos created Amazon and everybody uses Amazon. The people
who scream about how Richie is order thousands of dollars
of stuff off Amazon every year.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Well, why are you ordering from Amazon?
Speaker 3 (09:26):
If you're upset that he got rich because he basically
invented Amazon.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
What what are you doing?
Speaker 3 (09:33):
And the same thing. Well with Facebook, right, I think
Mark Zuckerberg is like the third richest person.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
In the world.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Well, how many of you are on Instagram and Facebook
and they make their money through advertising? That's Facebook and
Google make most of their money through advertising, Google with
its search engine, and they're in the top ten richest
in the world.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
And you want to take their money.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
Well, you're providing their money, You're using their products and
their services.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
What's wrong with you?
Speaker 3 (10:03):
And then they get there because Bezos woke up in
the morning and worked like a dog for decades and
created this empire. And what did you do sitting at
home playing video games, drinking beer, scrolling Instagram. You didn't
do anything he did. Zuckerberd did something you didn't. Tesla
that Elon Musk put together, and SpaceX and all the rest.
(10:26):
He woke up every day and did something. You wake
up every day and bitch that other people got wealthy
doing something. It is the cry of the losers, the
cry of the lazy, the cry of the people who
struck out in life and didn't accomplish anything. They don't
have the brains, they don't have the desire, they don't
have the just a work ethic. All right, huh now
(10:52):
I'm really tired.
Speaker 6 (10:53):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
All right, So the all the news sites are just
chock full of prop fifty.
Speaker 7 (11:06):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
I don't know what to call it.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
It's just it's like saturation coverage.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
This is not complicated. It's probably gonna win.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
It's probably gonna win big because people are so whipped
up into a frenzy against Trump.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
And I have no idea, excuse me.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
It shows you that the level of thought that goes
on is next to nothing. People are irrational, they are
not logical, they're overly emotional, and they really have taken
leave of their senses for all the screaming about Trump
and democracy, right, And we talked about.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
This last night and Alex Schew he won an election.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
He had more people vote for him than voted for
Kamala Harris. He had more electoral votes for him than
Kamala Yeah, I think I don't know ninety or one
hundred more.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
So, Okay, that's a democracy. That's what people voted for.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
Congress passes laws, they vote on it, and then if
people fight over the legality of a policy like immigration
or the constitutionality of a policy, it goes to the
Supreme Court. Trump won about seventy percent, is lost about
thirty percent.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
That's the way it should go. That's the system.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
What people are upset about still is that they lost
the election, that you didn't have enough votes on your side.
You didn't or you know, your candidate didn't convince enough
people to vote for her.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
That's what it is.
Speaker 7 (12:53):
Like.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
This whole No King's thing is no protest thing. It's
some childish and stupid it's not even worth mentioning. I
didn't even talk about it for the last month because
it's just like children playing dress up.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Really, we don't have the king he got voted in.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
He's doing stuff most of the within the power people
just haven't seen a president push the limits of his power.
Test the limits of the power. That is fair game.
You find out a president can do certain things, he
can't do other things. So that's why we have the courts,
(13:34):
that's why we have a Congress. Last night it came up,
it's like, well, Congress is just rubber stamping everything Trump does.
Well because most of the constituents who voted for these
Republican congress people and state and senators, they want them
to rubber stamp what Trump does.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
They know.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
The people who voted for Trump shockingly vote for Trump policies.
So the Republican represented and the Republican senators ratify the
Trump policies because that's what their voters want. It's a
whole package. You get control of all three branches of government.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
That's what you do.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
When Biden had it, there were very few Democrats that
rebelled against Biden.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
There were very few Democrats that rebelled against Obama. That's
the way it works.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
You grab all three branches of government. You don't have
to compromise, you don't have to debate things. You won
and for the and the losers complained, well, I have
an idea. Don't support a guy who's gone senile. Next time,
(14:45):
try that. Don't support a senile guy, and then don't
support the replacement. She might as well have been senile.
She was so empty headed and vacuous. There was little
difference between I mean, her thought process and her expression
of intelligence in his Try better, next time, get somebody
(15:07):
with some intelligence. Get somebody who's coherent, who can speak.
I don't know why this is so compliment. So you
lose because you had a senile guy and you replaced
him with a terrible candidate who just was gushing words
salad and wanted to continue all.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Of my policies. What do you think is going to happen?
You're gonna lose.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
It was obvious that was going to happen. I haven't understand.
I understood all this hysteria. I really have it. It's
actually everything is working the way democracy should work. You
just don't like the result because you didn't have enough votes,
didn't have enough votes for president. Didn't have enough electoral votes.
(15:52):
You didn't have enough votes in the Senate, you didn't
have enough votes in the House. You didn't have enough
votes when to beat Hill, right, and so Trump put
in three Supreme Court justices. Well, those could have been
Hillary justices, but there wasn't enough votes for her. What
are you gonna do? You're on a losing streak, picked
(16:13):
bad candidates, a lot of bad policies that people didn't like.
You know, for all the screaming about Trump's Trump's immigration stuff,
most people are comfortable with it. Most people support it.
I'm going to talk about when we come back. Keavin
(16:35):
Newsom went on a rant on NBC on Sunday Morning.
Meet Pressed with Christen Welker and Katie Grimes, detailed the
list of whoppers he told. I mean, he just he
just whipped out one lie after another after another after another.
(16:56):
And Katie has, let's.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Say she's done a fact check on the stuff. Newsom
says nothing.
Speaker 7 (17:04):
I just like more than the politician that sits there
and lies to you.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
Well, we're gonna we're gonna read to you Gavin's own words,
and then we'll tell you what the real facts are
because he was the He pretty much blew out the
liometer On Sunday Morning with Kristin wt Welker.
Speaker 6 (17:27):
You're listening to John Cobelts on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
You can follow us at John Cobelt Radio on social media.
By the way, we now put our highlight clips on YouTube,
and you subscribe on YouTube by going to YouTube dot
com at John Cobelt's show. It's a little different handle
there that we have for the rest of our social media.
So if you want to subscribe on YouTube and see
(17:55):
our clips, we post every day YouTube dot com at
John Cobelt Show. For everything else, it's at John coblt Radio.
I think I understand that. Yeah, you know, figure it out.
Can't do everything for you, So it's just one more
thing in this prop fifty deal. It's wrong. It's wrong
(18:16):
when Texas did it. It's wrong that we're doing it here.
It's even wronger. There's no excuse for taking away people's
congressmen or congresswoman. If you have a reliable majority Republican
or a majority Democratic district and they've been voting that way,
you know, for decades, and sometimes they have the same
(18:37):
congressperson for decades.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
Leave them alone.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
You know, yet people vote a Republican all their lives,
living up in the rural areas in northern California, and
now they're in a district that bends and twists and
swiggles all the way to Marine County. Not come on,
you're not going to find people more progressive and left
wing the Marine County and now they're going to dominate
(19:03):
the voting over the people in in the rural areas.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
That's wrong. Yeah, that's that's that's not democracy.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
And the stupidest excuses, well, Texas did it first. Seriously,
what are you eight years old? It's wrong to do that,
wrong for Texas to do that. But I don't live
in Texas.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Neither do you.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
And there's gonna be people in Orange County who lose
their congress person and and that now you're being forced
to have a Democrat represent you when that Democrat doesn't
represent anything that you value in life.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
That's that's an abomination.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
Newsom is an abomination because he's engineered. And what he
did is he whipped up everybody's emotional, over the top
absurd sentiments about Trump. Again, he ran on two main
things closing the border, deporting people, and secondly cutting inflation.
PLA is three percent, not nine percent. The border been
(20:03):
shut down and two million people have self deported. Another
four hundred thousand have been deported by the government. So
what he said he was going to do, he won.
Kama lost, that's it, and so so what now people
have to be penalized and lose their congressman because of
that head By the way, new Something is going to
(20:24):
backfire in the end anyway, because there's about seven other
states in response to California who are going to redraw
their congressional districts and more than make up for what
Newsom has done. If Newsom grabs five seats back, these
states are going to grab ten seriously. So in the
end Newsom will have lost. It backfired, but it made
(20:46):
him look like he's tough and strong and fighting Trump.
And you know, it's easy to look that way when
you lie, when you're a patholic, a pathological liar, and
Katie Grange today in California Globe asks an interesting question,
is Gavin Newsom a pathological liar or a compulsive liar?
Speaker 7 (21:09):
Nothing I dislike more than the politician that sits there
and lies to you.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
A pathological liar incessantly lies to get their way and
does so with little awareness.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
I'm going to express my relationship to my truth.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
At A compulsive liar is an habitual liar, you see,
it's slightly different.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
You habitually lie just to win your point in the moment.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
A pathological liar doesn't even know they're lying, like it's
so ingrained in their head. So Katie writes that Newsom
went on the NBC interview with Kristin Welker, and those
clips we just played are from that interview, and he
(22:00):
went off about Trump, saying, this is a historically unpopular president.
His policies are even more unpopular than the president himself
in every core category.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
He's underwater.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
Well.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
This week, Harry.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
Enton, who's appolling analyst for CNN, says Trump seems to
be in great shape, even strengthened from the shutdown. Newsweek's
trackers show that his approval rating is at its highest
point since August twenty first, and Enton also says that
(22:39):
Trump is basically more popular than he was at any
point in his first term, and more popular than when
he won election back in November of twenty twenty four.
So Newsom's first two claims about historically unpopular president and
policies even more unpopular are both false, and they were
false when he said it because I think Kristen Welker
(23:06):
tried pushing back on Newsom, but none of these anchors
are ever equipped to deal with a pathological liar because
they can lie at such a rapid rate, and when
they lie, there's so much detail in their answer that
by time they're done, you don't have enough time to
go back and fact check them. I mean, Newsom's like
(23:29):
a steamroller. So Newsom claims he's a guy that promised
us to make us wealthier and healthier. Well, Elizabeth Nixon
just reported that Trump has brought in twenty trillion dollars
of investment to the United States. And here's just a
(23:55):
list of new investments, companies bringing business to America or
increasing their business in America. I'm not going to go
through the numbers. You can go to californiaglobe dot com
and read this for yourself. But you know how many
pages do I have here? One, two, three, four, five, six, seven,
(24:18):
eight pages eight pages of companies that have announced major
investments from Apple six hundred billion, six hundred billion investment.
They're bringing manufacturing to America from foreign countries because the
tariffs worked. Project Stargate In, Nvidia, Micron Technology, IBM, Taiwan Semiconductor,
(24:42):
Johnson and joshtin Astra, Zeneca, Roche, Bristol, Meyers, squib They're
going to be bringing their drug manufacturing. All these companies
back to America. Amazon, Eli, Lilly, Vantage, Data Centers, Partners, Google, Blackstone, Novartists, Hyundai,
John Deere again bringing their manufact back to America, Sonofi,
Venture Global, First Energy, Corpse, Stilantis, guil Read Sciences, Mercan Company,
(25:08):
PPL CORW Westinghouse. I could go on for another four pages,
but you get the point. Twenty trillion dollars worth of investment.
They bullied the companies. Yeah, he imposed all these tariffs,
and these companies realized, you know what, it's going to
be a lot cheaper. It's going to be more profitable
for us to bring the jobs back to America. I'm
sorry he pulled it off. He won the election, he
(25:31):
said he was going to do this. He did this,
and it's going to be a great benefit. So if
you want to have your irrational temper tantrum, it's a
free country. But next time, organize the vote better. Don't
go ripping congress people away from districts that they have
served for decades. That's wrong. So, yeah, you ought to
(25:53):
vote N one fifty. I know it's going to pass,
it's still wrong. And wait till you see what the
other states do and Newson's going to be left sitting
on his thumb again.
Speaker 6 (26:04):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI A
six forty.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
Coming up after two o'clock.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
Many many of you had your insurance pulled out from
under your home insurance and a lot of people had
that happen in the Palisades right before the fire, and
or the insurance premiums went way up, and you're probably
wondering what the hell happened. I know you're not going
to believe this, but it's true. The New York Times
did an extensive story on this this week and looks
(26:37):
like Gavin Newsom and cal fart Lara, the Insurance Commissioner,
they engineered.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
What they call reform.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
They changed the rules and regulations on the insurance companies,
and it was supposed to ensure that the insurance companies
would be offering affordable insurance to most people. That was
its purpose. It backfired and there were so many loopholes
(27:09):
in Newsom and Lara's idea that allowed insurance companies to
pull out by the thousands. Thousands and thousands of people
lost their insurance because of Newsom and Lara's regulations. And
then Lara was forced to admit, well, the insurance companies
bullied us.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
He actually said that. It's in this New York Times story.
Speaker 3 (27:33):
He's whining that the insurance companies bullied us, so he
gave away the store. Now, this is the same character
who went on dozens of taxpayer paid vacations all over
the world that had nothing to do with insurance. So
we'll get to that right after three o'clock. Right after
(27:54):
two o'clock, excuse me, as soon as Debora's news is over.
Did you see that Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said that
there's going to be chaos in the skies next week. Yes,
because of the shutdown and the FAA and they don't
have enough air traffic controllers. We've heard about this for
several weeks. Sunday, Newark Airport in New Jersey, fights were
(28:19):
delayed three four Hours and Duffy, in the head of
the Air Traffic Controllers Union, have both said the situation
is gonna get worse because the FAA has missed one
paycheck on October twenty eighth. Their next payday is next Tuesday.
That's two paychecks they'll miss, and Duffy said many of
(28:40):
the controllers have told us that a lot of us
can navigate missing one paycheck, not everybody, but a lot
of us can. None of us can manage missing two paychecks.
So if you bring us to a week from today,
you will see mass chaos. You'll see mass flight delays,
these are the words of the Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy.
(29:02):
You'll see mass cancelations. You may see us close certain
parts of the airspace. We cannot manage it because we
don't have air traffic controllers.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
Isn't that lovely? And no one is doing anything about it.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
No, how did they not exempt air traffic controllers. If
you're going to decide that certain employee categories are essential,
then you have to pay them.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
But the air.
Speaker 3 (29:27):
Traffic controllers were declared essential, but they don't get paid.
That's stupid, and the money's there. They don't have people
to process the money. I guess I don't know what.
There's no reason for this, and both parties want to
fix it. Trump ought to fix this and social the
Republicans to the Democrats and pay the air traffic controllers.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
Thanksgiving week next week? No, two weeks, two weeks shared me? Sorry,
calendars of second two weeks those three weeks, I think
three weeks? Yeah? Oh yeah, you're right. Thanksgiving is November
twenty seven. Yes, we do have a few weeks. I'm
two weeks off. What's wrong with you? I don't know?
(30:10):
But still can you imagine what's going to happen? I?
Speaker 5 (30:16):
Well, I mean I warned about this, Remember I said
two months ago, I said, with the holidays, it's just
going to be a nightmare.
Speaker 3 (30:23):
Yeah, well we're going to get there, all right, we
come back the insurance fiasco engineered by Yes, your two favorites,
Gavin Newsom and Cal fart Lyra, that's next, Debra Mark

Speaker 2 (00:30):
Oh, just a little rundown this afternoon. You're starting your
day at one o'clock.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Yeah, I know, I know where. Oh I forgot. You've
been slaving away there for hours already.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
I know I have.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
I've been on the air since ten thirty. Thank you
very much.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
I uh know, I got a bit really early because
I get up early early. But last night I was
on CNN. Alex Michaelson has a new show called The
Story Is, and he part of it his panel discussions,
the same as the old show he had in Fox eleven.
And uh so he paired me and Lisa Bloom up
(01:09):
and that was that was noisy. She she she's Gloria
Alward's daughter. She's an attorney, civil rights attorney. Uh and
I just she came out just wailing away on it.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
She was angry with you.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
I don't think.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
I don't know, she was just just yelling at me.
I'm not a fan.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
I Uh, I mean they it looks like to pair
us up because we have deep divisions and the way
we view the world. But wow, so you know jumped
in started wailing away at each other.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Why don't did you hit her?
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Huh?
Speaker 3 (01:53):
Did I hear her? I think that would have made
the news if I hit her now, if she had
hit me last night, would not have surprised me. Definitely
would have made CNN.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Huh.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
It didn't seem like she's going to hit me. It
was pretty close. Yeah, she put her finger in your
face a couple of times.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
That's right, that's right, finger pointing right in the face, Like,
what the hell's going on here? We got a little clip.
I think this is on Prop fifty. We were arguing about.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Everybody seemed to enjoy watching it. All right, go ahead
play it now.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
The Republicans are representing Republicans, and is it fair if
this whole thing happens with Prop fifty, that people that
live in fairy Republican areas are now going to be
represented by Democratic members who really are not representing their interests.
Speaker 5 (02:50):
No, it's not fair, but it's the only thing that
we can do now that Texas is picking up five
seats unfairly.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Will you tell me democracy is under threat?
Speaker 3 (02:57):
Now you're taking a Republican concress what there might have
been there for decades from rural areas in California. And
I saw one of the districts it's drawn from the
from East California all the way to Marine County, Texas.
Speaker 5 (03:10):
I did, I said, Californiafornia, Texas start.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
We agree on that Texas started the problem, but that
doesn't mean Californians lose their Congress.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
That makes it's two different stands. I don't care what
they do in.
Speaker 6 (03:30):
There.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
You go, do you have you don't have to play
it now.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
But the bus clip, I think it was near the
end we were talking about mom Donnie.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Oh yeah, when you're talking about New York.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Yeah yeah, And she was carrying on about the billionaires
have to pay for the free buses.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Yeah, go go go find that clip. That was just
as eliminating as well.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Uh they well, I mean I she did, you know
at the end of that, because you're on light television
this time, you know, usually you're on Fox eleven. Right,
we were on CNN International. We were on all over
the world, yelling at each other. Here's my introduction to
(04:11):
the world. But she was she swiveled her chair around.
She was like pointing her finger in my face. You
didn't back down, No, I didn't back down.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
But everybody said it was entertaining.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
You never know how that stuff plays, you know, and
it was over before you know it.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
And I was thinking, what the hell? What just happened?
Speaker 3 (04:33):
So I got to a bit like two hours late,
and I had I had a dream of Zoran Madami
last night. I did, probably because I was I was
still like processing the whole, the whole thing. But I
didn't sleep well. I get my adrenaline up that late
and it disrupts.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
You know that Trump is endorsing Cuomo over Mandanni.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
Well it's the only choice, you know, I mean Cuomo.
In fact, that was another thing at the end. You know,
she was going by, he's a sexual harasser, and I said,
I'd rather have a sexual harasser.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Than a communist. My wife was a gas at that one.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
I go, it's true. You know, the women can fight
him off. You get a communist in charge, we're all
at the communist mercy here. I mean, he could destroy
a lot quickly. And that city Council in New York
City is like the LA City Council. And I'm really
interested in this because that's coming here next. You know,
(05:31):
Bass is like one step off the communist reservation, but
the next one coming down the pike because you got five.
I think democratic socialists on the city council and democratic
socialist is like the modern twenty first century term for
a communist. If you go read their website. The DSA
is about reviving communism, but they do it in a
(05:52):
very expressed themselves, in a very delicate and nuanced way,
because they know they have to be come acceptable to
the mainstream.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
And so you tiptoe a little bit, you you couch.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
Your rhetoric, and then when you get in power, all
hell's going to break loose. They're communists. Don't trust them,
the DSA. I think back in the fifties, I think
we would have we would have taken care of the DSA.
They would have been dragged before some government committee. You
(06:29):
got the buses, play the buses.
Speaker 5 (06:31):
The Republican Party is denying food benefits to people right now.
The Democrats actually care about lowering prices, getting groceries to people,
and free and fast buses is a great platform, and
we should.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Have fast buses.
Speaker 7 (06:43):
We should have that.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Nobody.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
So where do you get the money to pay for
the free bust by taxing billionaires?
Speaker 5 (06:47):
You know, New York City is not just for the billionaires,
it's for.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
The working You're concerned though, that that may drive some
of those billionaires to.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Leave New York.
Speaker 5 (06:54):
People have been saying that for years, and taxes have
been raised on billionaires when they're not leaving out.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
New York, Tea and Florida. Well, then how do you
pay for the buses? If you let them all go?
Speaker 5 (07:06):
Because they're you mean to let them all go? They
can go now if they want to go.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
People love New York State. You've moved to Dallas and
Miami and let them go.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Let them go.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
Wait, the billionaires are supposed to pay everything, but they're
gonna move out. We'll let them go. Well, then who's
gonna pay for everything? You chase all the they go.
I mean Jeff Bezus relocated to Florida as an example. Uh,
Elon Musk moved to his headquarters for Tesla to Austin, Texas.
You know how many, well, Eric, you'd know this. How
(07:40):
many major sports figures live in Florida? Now I know
there's there's a whole complex, I think to Orlando. Oh yeah,
Shack lives there, Michael Jordan lives there.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
And just in general, players want to play in places
like Florida and Texas for no state income tax purposes
in general. Right, yeah, And and now one of the states.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Oh jeez, I forgot I heard it.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
I heard it this morning wants to impose a five
percent tax on your stock market holdings, even if you
haven't sold them. Okay, you haven't sold your stocks and
recorded the profit. You just have the stocks, and they
want to tax you five percent. Well, you do that,
(08:21):
you are going to lose every person who holds a
significant amount of stock because those aren't profits. Those because
the stock could drop at any point. You could have
the stock market drop at thirty or forty percent in
a week. It's it's happened several times in our lifetime.
(08:43):
But they want to tax what it is. Now, nobody
is going to sit around and let that happen. Everyone's
going to move their residence to another state. I mean,
the left wing is so far left and stream now
and they just want to confiscate all the money that
(09:04):
any wealthy person has legally accumulated.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
I don't understand that. I've said this before.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
Jeff Bezos created Amazon and everybody uses Amazon. The people
who scream about how Richie is order thousands of dollars
of stuff off Amazon every year.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Well, why are you ordering from Amazon?
Speaker 3 (09:26):
If you're upset that he got rich because he basically
invented Amazon.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
What what are you doing?
Speaker 3 (09:33):
And the same thing. Well with Facebook, right, I think
Mark Zuckerberg is like the third richest person.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
In the world.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Well, how many of you are on Instagram and Facebook
and they make their money through advertising? That's Facebook and
Google make most of their money through advertising, Google with
its search engine, and they're in the top ten richest
in the world.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
And you want to take their money.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
Well, you're providing their money, You're using their products and
their services.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
What's wrong with you?
Speaker 3 (10:03):
And then they get there because Bezos woke up in
the morning and worked like a dog for decades and
created this empire. And what did you do sitting at
home playing video games, drinking beer, scrolling Instagram. You didn't
do anything he did. Zuckerberd did something you didn't. Tesla
that Elon Musk put together, and SpaceX and all the rest.
(10:26):
He woke up every day and did something. You wake
up every day and bitch that other people got wealthy
doing something. It is the cry of the losers, the
cry of the lazy, the cry of the people who
struck out in life and didn't accomplish anything. They don't
have the brains, they don't have the desire, they don't
have the just a work ethic. All right, huh now
(10:52):
I'm really tired.
Speaker 6 (10:53):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
All right, So the all the news sites are just
chock full of prop fifty.
Speaker 7 (11:06):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
I don't know what to call it.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
It's just it's like saturation coverage.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
This is not complicated. It's probably gonna win.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
It's probably gonna win big because people are so whipped
up into a frenzy against Trump.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
And I have no idea, excuse me.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
It shows you that the level of thought that goes
on is next to nothing. People are irrational, they are
not logical, they're overly emotional, and they really have taken
leave of their senses for all the screaming about Trump
and democracy, right, And we talked about.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
This last night and Alex Schew he won an election.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
He had more people vote for him than voted for
Kamala Harris. He had more electoral votes for him than
Kamala Yeah, I think I don't know ninety or one
hundred more.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
So, Okay, that's a democracy. That's what people voted for.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
Congress passes laws, they vote on it, and then if
people fight over the legality of a policy like immigration
or the constitutionality of a policy, it goes to the
Supreme Court. Trump won about seventy percent, is lost about
thirty percent.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
That's the way it should go. That's the system.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
What people are upset about still is that they lost
the election, that you didn't have enough votes on your side.
You didn't or you know, your candidate didn't convince enough
people to vote for her.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
That's what it is.
Speaker 7 (12:53):
Like.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
This whole No King's thing is no protest thing. It's
some childish and stupid it's not even worth mentioning. I
didn't even talk about it for the last month because
it's just like children playing dress up.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Really, we don't have the king he got voted in.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
He's doing stuff most of the within the power people
just haven't seen a president push the limits of his power.
Test the limits of the power. That is fair game.
You find out a president can do certain things, he
can't do other things. So that's why we have the courts,
(13:34):
that's why we have a Congress. Last night it came up,
it's like, well, Congress is just rubber stamping everything Trump does.
Well because most of the constituents who voted for these
Republican congress people and state and senators, they want them
to rubber stamp what Trump does.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
They know.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
The people who voted for Trump shockingly vote for Trump policies.
So the Republican represented and the Republican senators ratify the
Trump policies because that's what their voters want. It's a
whole package. You get control of all three branches of government.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
That's what you do.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
When Biden had it, there were very few Democrats that
rebelled against Biden.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
There were very few Democrats that rebelled against Obama. That's
the way it works.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
You grab all three branches of government. You don't have
to compromise, you don't have to debate things. You won
and for the and the losers complained, well, I have
an idea. Don't support a guy who's gone senile. Next time,
(14:45):
try that. Don't support a senile guy, and then don't
support the replacement. She might as well have been senile.
She was so empty headed and vacuous. There was little
difference between I mean, her thought process and her expression
of intelligence in his Try better, next time, get somebody
(15:07):
with some intelligence. Get somebody who's coherent, who can speak.
I don't know why this is so compliment. So you
lose because you had a senile guy and you replaced
him with a terrible candidate who just was gushing words
salad and wanted to continue all.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Of my policies. What do you think is going to happen?
You're gonna lose.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
It was obvious that was going to happen. I haven't understand.
I understood all this hysteria. I really have it. It's
actually everything is working the way democracy should work. You
just don't like the result because you didn't have enough votes,
didn't have enough votes for president. Didn't have enough electoral votes.
(15:52):
You didn't have enough votes in the Senate, you didn't
have enough votes in the House. You didn't have enough
votes when to beat Hill, right, and so Trump put
in three Supreme Court justices. Well, those could have been
Hillary justices, but there wasn't enough votes for her. What
are you gonna do? You're on a losing streak, picked
(16:13):
bad candidates, a lot of bad policies that people didn't like.
You know, for all the screaming about Trump's Trump's immigration stuff,
most people are comfortable with it. Most people support it.
I'm going to talk about when we come back. Keavin
(16:35):
Newsom went on a rant on NBC on Sunday Morning.
Meet Pressed with Christen Welker and Katie Grimes, detailed the
list of whoppers he told. I mean, he just he
just whipped out one lie after another after another after another.
(16:56):
And Katie has, let's.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Say she's done a fact check on the stuff. Newsom
says nothing.
Speaker 7 (17:04):
I just like more than the politician that sits there
and lies to you.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
Well, we're gonna we're gonna read to you Gavin's own words,
and then we'll tell you what the real facts are
because he was the He pretty much blew out the
liometer On Sunday Morning with Kristin wt Welker.
Speaker 6 (17:27):
You're listening to John Cobelts on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
You can follow us at John Cobelt Radio on social media.
By the way, we now put our highlight clips on YouTube,
and you subscribe on YouTube by going to YouTube dot
com at John Cobelt's show. It's a little different handle
there that we have for the rest of our social media.
So if you want to subscribe on YouTube and see
(17:55):
our clips, we post every day YouTube dot com at
John Cobelt Show. For everything else, it's at John coblt Radio.
I think I understand that. Yeah, you know, figure it out.
Can't do everything for you, So it's just one more
thing in this prop fifty deal. It's wrong. It's wrong
(18:16):
when Texas did it. It's wrong that we're doing it here.
It's even wronger. There's no excuse for taking away people's
congressmen or congresswoman. If you have a reliable majority Republican
or a majority Democratic district and they've been voting that way,
you know, for decades, and sometimes they have the same
(18:37):
congressperson for decades.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
Leave them alone.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
You know, yet people vote a Republican all their lives,
living up in the rural areas in northern California, and
now they're in a district that bends and twists and
swiggles all the way to Marine County. Not come on,
you're not going to find people more progressive and left
wing the Marine County and now they're going to dominate
(19:03):
the voting over the people in in the rural areas.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
That's wrong. Yeah, that's that's that's not democracy.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
And the stupidest excuses, well, Texas did it first. Seriously,
what are you eight years old? It's wrong to do that,
wrong for Texas to do that. But I don't live
in Texas.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Neither do you.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
And there's gonna be people in Orange County who lose
their congress person and and that now you're being forced
to have a Democrat represent you when that Democrat doesn't
represent anything that you value in life.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
That's that's an abomination.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
Newsom is an abomination because he's engineered. And what he
did is he whipped up everybody's emotional, over the top
absurd sentiments about Trump. Again, he ran on two main
things closing the border, deporting people, and secondly cutting inflation.
PLA is three percent, not nine percent. The border been
(20:03):
shut down and two million people have self deported. Another
four hundred thousand have been deported by the government. So
what he said he was going to do, he won.
Kama lost, that's it, and so so what now people
have to be penalized and lose their congressman because of
that head By the way, new Something is going to
(20:24):
backfire in the end anyway, because there's about seven other
states in response to California who are going to redraw
their congressional districts and more than make up for what
Newsom has done. If Newsom grabs five seats back, these
states are going to grab ten seriously. So in the
end Newsom will have lost. It backfired, but it made
(20:46):
him look like he's tough and strong and fighting Trump.
And you know, it's easy to look that way when
you lie, when you're a patholic, a pathological liar, and
Katie Grange today in California Globe asks an interesting question,
is Gavin Newsom a pathological liar or a compulsive liar?
Speaker 7 (21:09):
Nothing I dislike more than the politician that sits there
and lies to you.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
A pathological liar incessantly lies to get their way and
does so with little awareness.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
I'm going to express my relationship to my truth.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
At A compulsive liar is an habitual liar, you see,
it's slightly different.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
You habitually lie just to win your point in the moment.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
A pathological liar doesn't even know they're lying, like it's
so ingrained in their head. So Katie writes that Newsom
went on the NBC interview with Kristin Welker, and those
clips we just played are from that interview, and he
(22:00):
went off about Trump, saying, this is a historically unpopular president.
His policies are even more unpopular than the president himself
in every core category.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
He's underwater.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
Well.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
This week, Harry.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
Enton, who's appolling analyst for CNN, says Trump seems to
be in great shape, even strengthened from the shutdown. Newsweek's
trackers show that his approval rating is at its highest
point since August twenty first, and Enton also says that
(22:39):
Trump is basically more popular than he was at any
point in his first term, and more popular than when
he won election back in November of twenty twenty four.
So Newsom's first two claims about historically unpopular president and
policies even more unpopular are both false, and they were
false when he said it because I think Kristen Welker
(23:06):
tried pushing back on Newsom, but none of these anchors
are ever equipped to deal with a pathological liar because
they can lie at such a rapid rate, and when
they lie, there's so much detail in their answer that
by time they're done, you don't have enough time to
go back and fact check them. I mean, Newsom's like
(23:29):
a steamroller. So Newsom claims he's a guy that promised
us to make us wealthier and healthier. Well, Elizabeth Nixon
just reported that Trump has brought in twenty trillion dollars
of investment to the United States. And here's just a
(23:55):
list of new investments, companies bringing business to America or
increasing their business in America. I'm not going to go
through the numbers. You can go to californiaglobe dot com
and read this for yourself. But you know how many
pages do I have here? One, two, three, four, five, six, seven,
(24:18):
eight pages eight pages of companies that have announced major
investments from Apple six hundred billion, six hundred billion investment.
They're bringing manufacturing to America from foreign countries because the
tariffs worked. Project Stargate In, Nvidia, Micron Technology, IBM, Taiwan Semiconductor,
(24:42):
Johnson and joshtin Astra, Zeneca, Roche, Bristol, Meyers, squib They're
going to be bringing their drug manufacturing. All these companies
back to America. Amazon, Eli, Lilly, Vantage, Data Centers, Partners, Google, Blackstone, Novartists, Hyundai,
John Deere again bringing their manufact back to America, Sonofi,
Venture Global, First Energy, Corpse, Stilantis, guil Read Sciences, Mercan Company,
(25:08):
PPL CORW Westinghouse. I could go on for another four pages,
but you get the point. Twenty trillion dollars worth of investment.
They bullied the companies. Yeah, he imposed all these tariffs,
and these companies realized, you know what, it's going to
be a lot cheaper. It's going to be more profitable
for us to bring the jobs back to America. I'm
sorry he pulled it off. He won the election, he
(25:31):
said he was going to do this. He did this,
and it's going to be a great benefit. So if
you want to have your irrational temper tantrum, it's a
free country. But next time, organize the vote better. Don't
go ripping congress people away from districts that they have
served for decades. That's wrong. So, yeah, you ought to
(25:53):
vote N one fifty. I know it's going to pass,
it's still wrong. And wait till you see what the
other states do and Newson's going to be left sitting
on his thumb again.
Speaker 6 (26:04):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI A
six forty.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
Coming up after two o'clock.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
Many many of you had your insurance pulled out from
under your home insurance and a lot of people had
that happen in the Palisades right before the fire, and
or the insurance premiums went way up, and you're probably
wondering what the hell happened. I know you're not going
to believe this, but it's true. The New York Times
did an extensive story on this this week and looks
(26:37):
like Gavin Newsom and cal fart Lara, the Insurance Commissioner,
they engineered.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
What they call reform.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
They changed the rules and regulations on the insurance companies,
and it was supposed to ensure that the insurance companies
would be offering affordable insurance to most people. That was
its purpose. It backfired and there were so many loopholes
(27:09):
in Newsom and Lara's idea that allowed insurance companies to
pull out by the thousands. Thousands and thousands of people
lost their insurance because of Newsom and Lara's regulations. And
then Lara was forced to admit, well, the insurance companies
bullied us.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
He actually said that. It's in this New York Times story.
Speaker 3 (27:33):
He's whining that the insurance companies bullied us, so he
gave away the store. Now, this is the same character
who went on dozens of taxpayer paid vacations all over
the world that had nothing to do with insurance. So
we'll get to that right after three o'clock. Right after
(27:54):
two o'clock, excuse me, as soon as Debora's news is over.
Did you see that Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said that
there's going to be chaos in the skies next week. Yes,
because of the shutdown and the FAA and they don't
have enough air traffic controllers. We've heard about this for
several weeks. Sunday, Newark Airport in New Jersey, fights were
(28:19):
delayed three four Hours and Duffy, in the head of
the Air Traffic Controllers Union, have both said the situation
is gonna get worse because the FAA has missed one
paycheck on October twenty eighth. Their next payday is next Tuesday.
That's two paychecks they'll miss, and Duffy said many of
(28:40):
the controllers have told us that a lot of us
can navigate missing one paycheck, not everybody, but a lot
of us can. None of us can manage missing two paychecks.
So if you bring us to a week from today,
you will see mass chaos. You'll see mass flight delays,
these are the words of the Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy.
(29:02):
You'll see mass cancelations. You may see us close certain
parts of the airspace. We cannot manage it because we
don't have air traffic controllers.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
Isn't that lovely? And no one is doing anything about it.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
No, how did they not exempt air traffic controllers. If
you're going to decide that certain employee categories are essential,
then you have to pay them.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
But the air.
Speaker 3 (29:27):
Traffic controllers were declared essential, but they don't get paid.
That's stupid, and the money's there. They don't have people
to process the money. I guess I don't know what.
There's no reason for this, and both parties want to
fix it. Trump ought to fix this and social the
Republicans to the Democrats and pay the air traffic controllers.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
Thanksgiving week next week? No, two weeks, two weeks shared me? Sorry,
calendars of second two weeks those three weeks, I think
three weeks? Yeah? Oh yeah, you're right. Thanksgiving is November
twenty seven. Yes, we do have a few weeks. I'm
two weeks off. What's wrong with you? I don't know?
(30:10):
But still can you imagine what's going to happen? I?
Speaker 5 (30:16):
Well, I mean I warned about this, Remember I said
two months ago, I said, with the holidays, it's just
going to be a nightmare.
Speaker 3 (30:23):
Yeah, well we're going to get there, all right, we
come back the insurance fiasco engineered by Yes, your two favorites,
Gavin Newsom and Cal fart Lyra, that's next, Debra Mark
