Speaker 1 (00:00):
Can't I am six forty. You're listening to the John
Cobelt podcast on the iHeartRadio app We are on every
day from one until four o'clock, and every day after
four o'clock you can listen to the podcast John Cobelt's
Show on demand and that's just the same as the
radio show. You could hear what you missed in the
three o'clock hour. We're gonna have two rounds of the Moistline,
two rounds, and apparently jam packed today almost had a
(00:24):
third round of the Moistline, and there's a lot of
a lot of discussion about the appearance by the Santa
Monica Mayor Latinto Grette, and a lot of discussion about
Governor Newsom's anti mask law, which will never be enforced.
We'll talk more later and the two rounds of the
Moistline coming up, but first, this is a classic out
(00:48):
in the Mohave Desert. They've had the Yvanpah Solar Power
Facility in operation for the last ten years or so,
three four hundred and fifty nine foot towers, thousands of
computer controlled mirrors. They're called heliostats, and it's supposed to
(01:12):
it's kind of a complicated process to catch the heat,
and it created temperatures about one thousand degrees and birds
would fly by and die. They would get incinerated. In fact,
sixty thousand of them over ten years flew past this
(01:33):
facility and got fried incinerated. The idea, according to an
energy consultant named Edward Smeloff. He told The New York Post,
the mirrors reflect heat from the sun to a receiver
that's mounted on the top of the tower that heats
(01:54):
the fluid. The fluid creates steam that spins a steam turbine.
It's complicated, and there was a billion and a half
dollars of federal loan guarantees from Obama and the Department
of Energy back in twenty eleven. They built the thing,
and apparently it didn't produce enough cheap energy, and they're
(02:16):
they're they're putting it out of business. And we're going
to talk with Steve molloy, publisher of junk science dot com,
which is a great website. He's had it for many years.
He's a former Trump EPA transition team member, a great
climate change skeptic, and he's written again about all these
scams and hoaxes and panics for many years. Let's get
Steve maloy on. How are you, Steve.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
I'll doing great, John, Thanks for having me explain this.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
What the hell was this thing? Two billion dollars?
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Well, it was a rude Goldberg way of producing electricity.
They thought it was green, and of course, you know,
they started building it in twenty ten and finished in
twenty fourteen, and it was a failure. You're from the start.
I was checking my ex speed. It wasn't working back then.
It's really sort of sort of an inefficient gas plant
(03:08):
camouflaged as this solar monstrosity. And you know, you're right
about the birds. I mean, it just gets these really
high temperatures, and the birds, thinking that all those mirrors
are maybe water, oh, fly into the field and and
they you know, get zapped and and fry. They were
called streamers aside from the aside from murdering birds. Stream Yeah, streamers.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Like a stream of of of I mean of what
bind mashes smoke? Oh, streams of smoke.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
And so like every green project around the world, it's
all fraud and disaster. It has no purpose. None of
this stuff off is gonna you know, improve the air,
improve the climate. That improved the weather, improved anything. It's
just all subsidized nonsense. And my god, I didn't even
(04:13):
know it was still operating, to be honest with you,
what I caught when I saw that, like finally, but
it's two billion dollars. Oh yeah, well I got dos
for you. The Biden administration in it's in its closing days,
gave to Stacey Abrams two billion dollars to go buy
refrigerators and watching machines for poor people. If you like
(04:35):
the bomba phone, they were gonna be you know, Biden refrigerators.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
There's another green energy Yeah, plan is to give everybody refrigerator.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Part of right, that was part of the green new
scam inflation reduction money. You know. Trump EPA has clawed
back the twenty billion dollars that went at the door
in the last few weeks of the Biden administration. Remember
the video that was on social media gold bars off Titanic. Yes,
Grekos right, that's right. So part of that was two billions.
So what's two billion dollars? Uh? You know, we go
(05:07):
through two billion dollars like that?
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Yeah, you know. One of the questions always in my head,
and I ask this frequency frequently, are they these people
who push these projects. Are they sincere and very wrong
or do they know it's a scam up front?
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Well, see, there's many levels of this. You know, there
are the zombies that just believe everything that's green is great,
and then there are the smart engineers who are paid
to do stupid things, but they're paid to do it,
so they just do it. And then you have the
people at the top who are not stupid and they
know this stuff is not going to work, but they're
(05:47):
doing it anyway. And you have to ask, well why
And of course, if you follow me on X, the
green agenda is all about controlling us. I mean, it's
the most successful left wing communist you know, a project
they've ever had, and you thank god Pident Trump got
elected because they had just gotten a trillion dollars worth
(06:08):
of taxpayer dollars to do more of this stuff, and
all he was doing was making us dependent on communists
China for energy, screwing up our electricity grid. A lot
of the money was just going leftiing activism so that
they could you know, further expand their froll and political success.
So that's what it's all about.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Why are all the true believers or criminals still left
in California though, because this crowd still controls the government
here and almost nowhere else.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Well, you know, the number of Democrat voters explains it all.
You know. Some you know Gavin Newsom, He's got his
cap and tax program, Cap and Trade, which you guys
paid billions of dollars for all the emissions reduction that
have allegedly occurred since twenty twelve when that started. They've
(07:00):
all gone up in out of control wildfire smoke over
the years.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Oh yeah, right, right.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Because of Gavin. Gavin Newsom won't, won't clean the forests,
and and and and so you know, he's chasing the
oil industry out of out of the states. You guys
are not going to be able to have, you know,
affordable gasoline anymore. Just two weeks ago, I think the
legislative passed the ability he signed. You're gonna and even
(07:27):
though you guys are supposed to be green and all that,
you're gonna you're gonna drill two thousand new or wells. Well, right,
I mean, the whole thing is crazy.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
We're paying five bucks a gallon here and the rest
of the country half of it's paying under three.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Yeah. Well, you guys have these special blends of gasoline
that you know, it might make sense in Los Angeles,
for example, because you know it's in that basin, and
you know, most people don't. Most people think that air
pollution is natural to Los Angeles. When the Conquista Bors
sailed past in the sixteenth century, they noticed, you know,
(08:07):
the haze over the valley. So this stuff, you know,
Los Angeles has always been like this, and you know,
we've cleaned the air about as much as it's going
to be clean, and just trying to do more is
just making gasoline energy costs away too much.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
It is so crazy here because the gas is five bucks,
it may go to eight bucks. You know, there's two
more refineries closing in the state. There's so little oil
going through the major pipeline that it may shut itself down.
There simply isn't enough pressure for it to work. And
then there's another low carbon fuel standard coming from the
(08:44):
California Air Resources Board, and everybody, everybody agrees, I mean
the idiots at the Alley Times agree, Yeah, we're looking
at eight dollars a gallon and I can't believe he's
going to survive that. And then go run for president.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Yeah, and use that as his calling card. The success
California is, you know, I can't explain it. How much pain.
You know, California is a beautiful state. But how much
pain can people in border? I don't know, And I mean,
and they keep voting for it. I know, what's the
point of democracy if this is what you're going to
do to yourself.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
It's a great mystery. Steve good talking with you again.
Steve Maloy, junk Science dot com, former Trump EPA transition
member on the closing of the one one of the
biggest boondoggles this side of high speed rail, and it's
the Avantpas solar power facility in the Mojave Desert. We
got more coming up.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI Am
six forty.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
We are on every day from one until four, and
we got two runs of the mornings line coming up
after three o'clock. I wish people understood how much of
this is really a scam. It's really a racket. It's
really stupid, this whole green energy industry. I don't know
why people in California have gone for this. I don't
(10:04):
know why. It's part of a political philosophy. It's just
flat out criminals, okay, or in confidence opportunists. It's just
the Avanpa solar power facility, two billion dollars in tax
money up in the Mojave Desert. It's closing down. It's
(10:24):
only been there ten years. It was a complicated way
of taking solar energy and converting it to steam, and
the whole thing was just a bus a bust. It
never lived up to its promise, according to Jason Isaac
of the American Energy Institute, never lived up to its promise.
It produced less electricity than expected and relied on natural
(10:47):
gas to stay operational. But whoever got the two billion dollars,
the one and a half billion in loan money from
the federal government, and god knows what's support here in California.
They made out really well. But it was was It
was a complete scam. And you are gonna wake up
tomorrow morning still paying the highest electricity rates in the
state and the highest gas prices in the state. And
(11:09):
there's absolutely no reason for it. Now onto you know,
we're gonna we're gonna on the moistline. You're gonna hear
a lot of calls about Leanna to Greta's her appearance
on our show from a couple of days ago. The
mayor of Santa Monica trying to explain why there are
so many mental patients running the streets there, and one
(11:34):
of the things is we have a mental patient Express.
We have a drug addict Express that runs from downtown
LA to Santa Monica, also known as the E Line,
formerly the Expo Line, the light rail train, and apparently
at night it's mostly homeless people. Last stop is Santa Monica.
(11:54):
They dump everybody out of the train and it's party time.
And you know in this this goes on every night
for years. It can completely transform and destroy a city
like Santa Monica. Well, the origin point for a lot
of these mental patients and drug addicts is downtown LA, obviously,
and they have seen their neighborhoods, their business districts completely
(12:17):
ruined by the mental patients and drug addicts. And now
the Central City Association the CCA, one of the most
influential business groups, according to the La Daily News, said
that immediate action has to be taken or the economic
and cultural core of the city could slip away beyond repair.
(12:41):
Downtown LA's economy is falling apart. The public does not
want to go there anymore. That's another place my wife
and I used to enjoy going, and we just don't.
And I know many people who say the same. Ever,
isn't that right? You wouldn't go near downtown anymore?
Speaker 4 (12:58):
Downtown? Yeah, oh no, I told you.
Speaker 5 (13:00):
I went a while ago to the Flower mart I
was really excited to go. I was terrified and it
was beautiful, and I love the Flower Martin. I'd like
to go again, but getting there was so incredibly scary.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
I know somebody who earns an attraction down there. I
wouldn't say what it is, but it normally would have.
They would have a student groups come right, and a
lot of the schools are canceling. They will not take
their students downtown, no matter how valuable this particular facility
might be.
Speaker 5 (13:30):
My daughter lived in downtown for a little while when
she was going to USC and oh god, I was terrified.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Michael Monks lives down to Oh I know. It's one
of the most amusing things about him. Yeah, he confirms
all the horrors we talk about. I know.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
And he's still He's still there.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 5 (13:47):
He's saving to move into your neck of the Woods
is what he's doing.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
He's going to be here at LEAs one hundred and ten.
Then Central City Association as a president named Mcoscar and
she said Nella. Rather, she said, downtown Los Angeles is
hemorrhaging value and with an opportunity. Recent years have delivered
(14:12):
compounding blows to downtown LA from the pandemic to immigration raids,
tariffs and curfews. Oh, stop with the tariffs. It's the homelessness.
She doesn't mention the homelessness. It's not emigration raids. It's
not the pandemic. The pandemic was five years ago, and
(14:33):
that was government inflicted. Everybody's sings from the same religious Hymno,
it's the vagrance. It's the mental patients and drug addicts,
and you collected them and you put them on the
train every night, and they end up in Santa Monica
to destroy that neighborhood. If we don't come together and intervene, now,
we won't just lose the core of the city, but
(14:55):
hundreds of millions of dollars that it generates for the
rest of LA have been absorbed. The pandemic is long
long over. The curfews are months over. What are you
talking about? Lady la has faced, according to the Daily News,
declining foot traffic, rising vacancies, growing safety concerns. Oh, here
(15:15):
we go. We're hinting a little bit at the safety concerns.
What do you think that is? Oh God, I summon.
I think my wife forwarded me on Instagram of some
group is out there taking video clips of the most
insane homeless people on the people who are screaming and
frothing at the mouth and running half naked in the streets.
(15:36):
And it was all Hollywood Boulevard stuff, and it was
all recent and and that's another place we can't go to,
Hollywood Boulevard. And it says they want greater police, president, president,
greater police presidence, well, foot beats, bike patrols, blah blah blah. No,
you have to get these people off the street and
(16:00):
keep them off. You have to arrest them, and you
have to put them away in a mental institution or
a drug addiction treatment plan. They want city Attorney and
the DA to publicly commit to prosecute quality of life crimes,
petty theft, disorderly conduct. Again, if you don't put the
(16:22):
mental patients and drug addicts away, this is never going
to happen. They rule, and in progressive politics, they're the
anointed ones. It is the poisonous and destruction of progressive
politics starts with Karen. Karen Bass could end this tomorrow.
She's got the legal right to end this tomorrow. So
does the city council. They refuse to and apparently they
(16:44):
don't care how much of la is sacrificed. There is
no limit to what these lunatics are willing to give up,
and the stupid voters who force them to say goodbye,
you know, to Santa Monica, say goodbye to the Pacific Palisades,
say goodbye to downtown laws Angelos, say goodbye to Hollywood Boulevard.
It doesn't matter if you're a business district, if you're
(17:06):
a cultural center, if you're a tourist attraction, if it's
just a peaceful neighborhood. The progressive politicians are willing to
sacrifice everything in the name of making drug addicts and
mental patience comfortable. We're coming up.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
You're listening to John Cobel's on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
We are on from one till four after four o'clock.
John Cobelt's show on demand on the iHeart app, and
we've got good stuff today, two runs of The Moistline
in the three o'clock hour. And we're also going to
Alex Michaelson on Now from CNN. That's where he's now
reporting and anchoring. He's got a new show coming out
in mid October that's going to run at nine o'clock
(17:56):
Pacific time in the evening midnight on the on the
East Coast. It's a West Coast oriented news program and
starts in a few weeks. But he did his first
reporting and interviewing for CNN a couple of days ago.
It was in New York City for that Climate conference.
Talked with Arnold Schwarzenegger about the Proposition fifty scam to
(18:20):
get rid of the independent Redistricting Commission that we approved
fifteen years ago on the ballot and Newsome now wants
to undo it to consolidate his power within the Democratic Party.
So we'll talk to him about that. We're also to
talk to Royal Oaks about the significance of the former
(18:41):
FBI director James Colby getting indicted yesterday. Now, we I
mean and on the Moist Line, as I mentioned, we
were going to hear a lot of calls about Lenin
de Grede, the Santa Monica mayor. It was on our
show and she was pushing that part of the problem
with out of control mental patients in the streets of
(19:02):
Santa Monica is the crazy train that runs from downtown
to Santa Monica, and at the end of the line
late at night, all the almost mental patients jump out
of the train and then some of them stay for
good in Santa Monica and terrorize the locals and terrorized
the tourists. And this has been going on for a
(19:23):
while because I realized that much of mass transit is
considered some kind of holy grail to these progressive politicians.
They love putting people in train cars and buses. They
love to hurt us into some kind of tube. And
then I realized also billions of dollars goes to the
(19:46):
developers and the construction companies, and probably there's huge kickbacks
to these politicians. So it's another big money scam because
normal people don't use transit by and large. I don't
know of a single person actually, you know, for over
thirty years, I haven't known anybody whose is the bus
(20:07):
in LA and I see the buses now and after
the immigration raids, they're largely empty. I see them rolling
down Wilshire Boulevard and Santa Monica and these are empty
cans driving by. Nobody's on them ever since Ice chased
so many immigrants out. And you know the same thing.
The ridership on the Metro lines are way down. And
(20:32):
it really was a transit system for illegal aliens and vagrants,
and we all spent billions of dollars on it and
for what we didn't get anything out of this, and
a lot of people have been the victims of crime
on these trains. Remember there was a big spike about
(20:56):
a year and a half ago, two years ago, and
so Metro officials came up with a plan called tap
to exit. When you had your card that would give
you entry into the subway system. You know, you tap
it and the gate opens up for you, and then
(21:17):
you have to tap it again to leave. Well, when
they because it turns out, like you know, mental patient
criminals don't want to spend the few dollars it costs
to ride the transit system, so they just stopped showing
up and crime went down forty percent, forty percent drop
(21:41):
in security concerns from Maya, twenty twenty four to the
end of July. Now, stupidly, in July they stopped the program.
From what I hear, activists were complaining that it wasn't
fair to the vagrants and the mental patients to make
(22:01):
them pay for a card and tap twice to get
in and out of the system. And they put pressure
on the fire department to say, hey, this is not
this is not safe, this exit strategy. If everybody's going
to tap a card in a fire situation, they're in danger.
So the fire department, under this pressure that realized they
(22:23):
had to analyze the situation, and so they halted the program. Again,
you have to do it twice when you leave and
when you arrive. Well, ever since they stopped the program,
this is what the activist brought us, and our government
has been terrified of progressive activists for many years now,
(22:45):
which is why the vagrants ruled the streets. The crime
numbers skyrocketed by one hundred and sixteen percent at Union
Station as soon as they stopped the program, one hundred
and sixty percent, sixty seven percent in North Hollywood. Not
only that people stopped paying the fare because they didn't
(23:06):
have to tap their card anymore, and they lost thirty
five thousand dollars in fair revenue from both stations. LA
police report that a big rise in drug activity along
the B line. I don't know where that goes, probably
from Hell to L. You know where the B line goes?
Speaker 4 (23:26):
Oh, I never, I know South Hel to North L.
I don't go on those and I don't know what.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
The what the fair is, but I'm guessing a couple
of dollars. So they suspended a program that had cut
the crime by forty percent. Now it's suddenly up one
hundred and sixteen percent. One station B line goes from
Universal to Union Station. Union Station. Oh yeah, yeah, uh,
you don't want to go there.
Speaker 4 (23:52):
I have.
Speaker 5 (23:54):
I think I have many many, many, many many years ago.
You went where I went from Universal to I believe
downtown many years ago. I also took I think it's
Universal and you can go to the Pantagious.
Speaker 4 (24:08):
I did that a long time ago.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
I was on the train twice, once about thirty years
ago and once about five years ago. Took the train
to usc to see a Rams playoff game. But that
was such a pain in the ass standing this long, long,
long line to get back on the ex bow line
to go to the West side. It's like, I'm not
doing this again. I mean, I just don't go to
(24:30):
the game. And that now the Rams have moved. That's
when they were playing at USC But holy Jesus, that
was a pain in the ass. That was no fun.
Speaker 5 (24:37):
I mean, look, honestly, I think if we can get
the train situation squared away and it was safe, I mean,
it would be it would be great when you go
to New York or you go to other countries or whatever,
right you use mass transit. Not that New York is
amazing because I you know, I've been scared going on.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
Well there there there have been areas where it is
it has been amazing, and the crime has been low,
and thebways have been safe, like during the Giuliani Bloomberg years,
because we went every year. Every year we went back
east when my parents were alive, and we brought the
kids and we stayed at a hotel in New York
City and saw my parents in New Jersey. So that
(25:15):
era was great. It was twenty years. It was eight
years of Giuliani, twelve years of Bloomberg, and now now
it's gone to hell. Again we come back. They tried
free transit in Albuquerque now, and I'm telling you this
because the Communists taking over New York City. Zoran Momdanmi
(25:36):
wants free transit, free subways. But I'm gonna explain to
you what happens because in LA, the communists here pushed
for that as well, and that's why they they lobbied
very hard to get rid of tapping to exit. Basically,
it makes the ride free because now they're not checking. No,
(25:57):
there's no electronic or human way to check to see
if you paid your fare. So the number the money
they make from fares is way down. At some stations,
this crime is way up all because they don't want
to force people to pay and check that they've they've paid. Well,
we see what happens in LA. You've seen what happens
(26:18):
in New York, and they want to bring back free
mass transit New York. Listen to Albuquerque when you come back.
You'd think Albuquerque is nothing in common with these gigantic metropolises,
but human nature is the same everywhere. Tell you about it.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
Royal Oakes will be on form ABC News the Legal
Analyst right after three o'clock to tell us why James
Colemy got indicted yesterday, the former FBI director. We'll talk
about that for a little bit. We've got two rounds
of the Moist Sign Alex Michaelson to talk about Schwarzenegger
coming out very strongly against Prop fifty to redraw the
districting lines. That's the big newsom scamp. But I just
(27:05):
want to finish up on what I was talking about,
because you know, one thing, I know a lot of
people are unhappy with Lennondi Gretti's appearance from Santa Monica
trying to explain away all the vagrants and mental patients.
But one thing she said is true, and I've heard
it from a number of people. Nobody has told me
it's wrong. The mental patients are coming off the train.
(27:26):
It's the E line now used to be the Expo
line downtown to Santa Monica ebdumpt in Santa Monica at
the end of the night, and then they wreak havoc
and they're still there the next morning or you know,
for the next year. And there's a lot of you know,
homeless services in the city that the county has put in.
So it's a it's a huge magnet for mental patients
(27:47):
and drug addicts. And you know, they stop their program
of requiring all these characters to tap their metro card
on the way out to prove that they paid. So
a lot of the vagrants aren't paying anymore again because
they don't have to tap to get out of the system.
(28:11):
Zoram Mamdani in New York City wants an entirely free
public service system public transportation system. They tried this in Albuquerque.
Here's what's happened. They used to charge a dollar for
a bus fare in Albuquerque. Now they got rid of
that dollar charge, and all the homeless in the city
(28:36):
has flocked to the buses because they can relax all
day and stay out of the heat and it gets
really hot in Albuquerque. They can stay out of the cold,
they can stay out of the rain storms. So the
city's buses, according to the National Review Paul Guessing, they've
(28:58):
become rolling homeless shelters. They've also become getaway vehicles for shoplifters.
As soon as as soon as the program started. Albuquerque
media reported two years ago that the free buses were
(29:20):
being used as getaways for shoplifters. They they just steal
their stuff and they jump on board the bus and
they could sit on the bus all day and join
the drug addicts and the mental patients. A Democrat, a
former New Mexico Attorney General named Hector Balderos, says, well,
(29:42):
I think that the no fee for riders seemed like
a well intentioned policy. That's how they always defended. Progressives
always said, well, it was well intentioned, stupid, but there
must be safety requirements. You can't just let everyone ride
on the bus with stolen's. They the Albuquerque Police undertook
(30:06):
a sting operation. They arrested thirty one people. Ten of
the thirty one used a city bus for a getaway.
One city councilor said there was a twenty five percent
increase in police calls at buses and bus stops since
they gave free bus rides away drugs. Big problem on
(30:30):
the buses because they take the bus all day and
they shoot up and they snore it and they smoke.
Twelve to thirty one people arrested. Nine of the ten
of the thirty one used the city bus. Twelve of
the thirty one had drugs or drug paraphernalia on them,
mostly related to fentanyl. So the Albubuquerque bus system now
(30:53):
ferries fitted the laddics up and down the city streets
all day and every once in a while and the
fentanyl wears off and they come back to consciousness, they
get out of the bus and they steal some stuff
and they get back on the bus. This is truly
what's going on. Nine bus drivers have quit and they
(31:15):
said it was it was the free fairs program. There
are now eighty six vacant driver positions. The city council.
Some of them wanted to require writers to at least
show government ID to ride on the bus, but the
proposal was never adopted over concerns about equity equity. I
(31:47):
have never seen a progressive policy that didn't cause destruction,
that didn't fail miserably, and I think that's the idea.
It's not well intentioned. The idea is to destroy the system,
any system, all systems, just destroy our way of life.
That is the central tenet of progressivism, destroy civilized society.
(32:11):
And even in Albuquerque the bus program proves I'm correct, nothing,
nothing good has come out of progressive politics, and people
keep voting for it. When we come back, we're gonna
have a Royal Oaks hunt. ABC News on the Komi Thing.
Deborah mark lytton the KFI twenty four hour Newsroom. Hey,
(32:33):
you've been listening to The John Cobalt Show podcast. You
can always hear the show live on KFI Am six
forty from one to four pm every Monday through Friday,
and of course, anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app
Can't I am six forty. You're listening to the John
Cobelt podcast on the iHeartRadio app We are on every
day from one until four o'clock, and every day after
four o'clock you can listen to the podcast John Cobelt's
Show on demand and that's just the same as the
radio show. You could hear what you missed in the
three o'clock hour. We're gonna have two rounds of the Moistline,
two rounds, and apparently jam packed today almost had a
(00:24):
third round of the Moistline, and there's a lot of
a lot of discussion about the appearance by the Santa
Monica Mayor Latinto Grette, and a lot of discussion about
Governor Newsom's anti mask law, which will never be enforced.
We'll talk more later and the two rounds of the
Moistline coming up, but first, this is a classic out
(00:48):
in the Mohave Desert. They've had the Yvanpah Solar Power
Facility in operation for the last ten years or so,
three four hundred and fifty nine foot towers, thousands of
computer controlled mirrors. They're called heliostats, and it's supposed to
(01:12):
it's kind of a complicated process to catch the heat,
and it created temperatures about one thousand degrees and birds
would fly by and die. They would get incinerated. In fact,
sixty thousand of them over ten years flew past this
(01:33):
facility and got fried incinerated. The idea, according to an
energy consultant named Edward Smeloff. He told The New York Post,
the mirrors reflect heat from the sun to a receiver
that's mounted on the top of the tower that heats
(01:54):
the fluid. The fluid creates steam that spins a steam turbine.
It's complicated, and there was a billion and a half
dollars of federal loan guarantees from Obama and the Department
of Energy back in twenty eleven. They built the thing,
and apparently it didn't produce enough cheap energy, and they're
(02:16):
they're they're putting it out of business. And we're going
to talk with Steve molloy, publisher of junk science dot com,
which is a great website. He's had it for many years.
He's a former Trump EPA transition team member, a great
climate change skeptic, and he's written again about all these
scams and hoaxes and panics for many years. Let's get
Steve maloy on. How are you, Steve.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
I'll doing great, John, Thanks for having me explain this.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
What the hell was this thing? Two billion dollars?
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Well, it was a rude Goldberg way of producing electricity.
They thought it was green, and of course, you know,
they started building it in twenty ten and finished in
twenty fourteen, and it was a failure. You're from the start.
I was checking my ex speed. It wasn't working back then.
It's really sort of sort of an inefficient gas plant
(03:08):
camouflaged as this solar monstrosity. And you know, you're right
about the birds. I mean, it just gets these really
high temperatures, and the birds, thinking that all those mirrors
are maybe water, oh, fly into the field and and
they you know, get zapped and and fry. They were
called streamers aside from the aside from murdering birds. Stream Yeah, streamers.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Like a stream of of of I mean of what
bind mashes smoke? Oh, streams of smoke.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
And so like every green project around the world, it's
all fraud and disaster. It has no purpose. None of
this stuff off is gonna you know, improve the air,
improve the climate. That improved the weather, improved anything. It's
just all subsidized nonsense. And my god, I didn't even
(04:13):
know it was still operating, to be honest with you,
what I caught when I saw that, like finally, but
it's two billion dollars. Oh yeah, well I got dos
for you. The Biden administration in it's in its closing days,
gave to Stacey Abrams two billion dollars to go buy
refrigerators and watching machines for poor people. If you like
(04:35):
the bomba phone, they were gonna be you know, Biden refrigerators.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
There's another green energy Yeah, plan is to give everybody refrigerator.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Part of right, that was part of the green new
scam inflation reduction money. You know. Trump EPA has clawed
back the twenty billion dollars that went at the door
in the last few weeks of the Biden administration. Remember
the video that was on social media gold bars off Titanic. Yes,
Grekos right, that's right. So part of that was two billions.
So what's two billion dollars? Uh? You know, we go
(05:07):
through two billion dollars like that?
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Yeah, you know. One of the questions always in my head,
and I ask this frequency frequently, are they these people
who push these projects. Are they sincere and very wrong
or do they know it's a scam up front?
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Well, see, there's many levels of this. You know, there
are the zombies that just believe everything that's green is great,
and then there are the smart engineers who are paid
to do stupid things, but they're paid to do it,
so they just do it. And then you have the
people at the top who are not stupid and they
know this stuff is not going to work, but they're
(05:47):
doing it anyway. And you have to ask, well why
And of course, if you follow me on X, the
green agenda is all about controlling us. I mean, it's
the most successful left wing communist you know, a project
they've ever had, and you thank god Pident Trump got
elected because they had just gotten a trillion dollars worth
(06:08):
of taxpayer dollars to do more of this stuff, and
all he was doing was making us dependent on communists
China for energy, screwing up our electricity grid. A lot
of the money was just going leftiing activism so that
they could you know, further expand their froll and political success.
So that's what it's all about.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Why are all the true believers or criminals still left
in California though, because this crowd still controls the government
here and almost nowhere else.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Well, you know, the number of Democrat voters explains it all.
You know. Some you know Gavin Newsom, He's got his
cap and tax program, Cap and Trade, which you guys
paid billions of dollars for all the emissions reduction that
have allegedly occurred since twenty twelve when that started. They've
(07:00):
all gone up in out of control wildfire smoke over
the years.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Oh yeah, right, right.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Because of Gavin. Gavin Newsom won't, won't clean the forests,
and and and and so you know, he's chasing the
oil industry out of out of the states. You guys
are not going to be able to have, you know,
affordable gasoline anymore. Just two weeks ago, I think the
legislative passed the ability he signed. You're gonna and even
(07:27):
though you guys are supposed to be green and all that,
you're gonna you're gonna drill two thousand new or wells. Well, right,
I mean, the whole thing is crazy.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
We're paying five bucks a gallon here and the rest
of the country half of it's paying under three.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Yeah. Well, you guys have these special blends of gasoline
that you know, it might make sense in Los Angeles,
for example, because you know it's in that basin, and
you know, most people don't. Most people think that air
pollution is natural to Los Angeles. When the Conquista Bors
sailed past in the sixteenth century, they noticed, you know,
(08:07):
the haze over the valley. So this stuff, you know,
Los Angeles has always been like this, and you know,
we've cleaned the air about as much as it's going
to be clean, and just trying to do more is
just making gasoline energy costs away too much.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
It is so crazy here because the gas is five bucks,
it may go to eight bucks. You know, there's two
more refineries closing in the state. There's so little oil
going through the major pipeline that it may shut itself down.
There simply isn't enough pressure for it to work. And
then there's another low carbon fuel standard coming from the
(08:44):
California Air Resources Board, and everybody, everybody agrees, I mean
the idiots at the Alley Times agree, Yeah, we're looking
at eight dollars a gallon and I can't believe he's
going to survive that. And then go run for president.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Yeah, and use that as his calling card. The success
California is, you know, I can't explain it. How much pain.
You know, California is a beautiful state. But how much
pain can people in border? I don't know, And I mean,
and they keep voting for it. I know, what's the
point of democracy if this is what you're going to
do to yourself.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
It's a great mystery. Steve good talking with you again.
Steve Maloy, junk Science dot com, former Trump EPA transition
member on the closing of the one one of the
biggest boondoggles this side of high speed rail, and it's
the Avantpas solar power facility in the Mojave Desert. We
got more coming up.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI Am
six forty.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
We are on every day from one until four, and
we got two runs of the mornings line coming up
after three o'clock. I wish people understood how much of
this is really a scam. It's really a racket. It's
really stupid, this whole green energy industry. I don't know
why people in California have gone for this. I don't
(10:04):
know why. It's part of a political philosophy. It's just
flat out criminals, okay, or in confidence opportunists. It's just
the Avanpa solar power facility, two billion dollars in tax
money up in the Mojave Desert. It's closing down. It's
(10:24):
only been there ten years. It was a complicated way
of taking solar energy and converting it to steam, and
the whole thing was just a bus a bust. It
never lived up to its promise, according to Jason Isaac
of the American Energy Institute, never lived up to its promise.
It produced less electricity than expected and relied on natural
(10:47):
gas to stay operational. But whoever got the two billion dollars,
the one and a half billion in loan money from
the federal government, and god knows what's support here in California.
They made out really well. But it was was It
was a complete scam. And you are gonna wake up
tomorrow morning still paying the highest electricity rates in the
state and the highest gas prices in the state. And
(11:09):
there's absolutely no reason for it. Now onto you know,
we're gonna we're gonna on the moistline. You're gonna hear
a lot of calls about Leanna to Greta's her appearance
on our show from a couple of days ago. The
mayor of Santa Monica trying to explain why there are
so many mental patients running the streets there, and one
(11:34):
of the things is we have a mental patient Express.
We have a drug addict Express that runs from downtown
LA to Santa Monica, also known as the E Line,
formerly the Expo Line, the light rail train, and apparently
at night it's mostly homeless people. Last stop is Santa Monica.
(11:54):
They dump everybody out of the train and it's party time.
And you know in this this goes on every night
for years. It can completely transform and destroy a city
like Santa Monica. Well, the origin point for a lot
of these mental patients and drug addicts is downtown LA, obviously,
and they have seen their neighborhoods, their business districts completely
(12:17):
ruined by the mental patients and drug addicts. And now
the Central City Association the CCA, one of the most
influential business groups, according to the La Daily News, said
that immediate action has to be taken or the economic
and cultural core of the city could slip away beyond repair.
(12:41):
Downtown LA's economy is falling apart. The public does not
want to go there anymore. That's another place my wife
and I used to enjoy going, and we just don't.
And I know many people who say the same. Ever,
isn't that right? You wouldn't go near downtown anymore?
Speaker 4 (12:58):
Downtown? Yeah, oh no, I told you.
Speaker 5 (13:00):
I went a while ago to the Flower mart I
was really excited to go. I was terrified and it
was beautiful, and I love the Flower Martin. I'd like
to go again, but getting there was so incredibly scary.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
I know somebody who earns an attraction down there. I
wouldn't say what it is, but it normally would have.
They would have a student groups come right, and a
lot of the schools are canceling. They will not take
their students downtown, no matter how valuable this particular facility
might be.
Speaker 5 (13:30):
My daughter lived in downtown for a little while when
she was going to USC and oh god, I was terrified.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Michael Monks lives down to Oh I know. It's one
of the most amusing things about him. Yeah, he confirms
all the horrors we talk about. I know.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
And he's still He's still there.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 5 (13:47):
He's saving to move into your neck of the Woods
is what he's doing.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
He's going to be here at LEAs one hundred and ten.
Then Central City Association as a president named Mcoscar and
she said Nella. Rather, she said, downtown Los Angeles is
hemorrhaging value and with an opportunity. Recent years have delivered
(14:12):
compounding blows to downtown LA from the pandemic to immigration raids,
tariffs and curfews. Oh, stop with the tariffs. It's the homelessness.
She doesn't mention the homelessness. It's not emigration raids. It's
not the pandemic. The pandemic was five years ago, and
(14:33):
that was government inflicted. Everybody's sings from the same religious Hymno,
it's the vagrance. It's the mental patients and drug addicts,
and you collected them and you put them on the
train every night, and they end up in Santa Monica
to destroy that neighborhood. If we don't come together and intervene, now,
we won't just lose the core of the city, but
(14:55):
hundreds of millions of dollars that it generates for the
rest of LA have been absorbed. The pandemic is long
long over. The curfews are months over. What are you
talking about? Lady la has faced, according to the Daily News,
declining foot traffic, rising vacancies, growing safety concerns. Oh, here
(15:15):
we go. We're hinting a little bit at the safety concerns.
What do you think that is? Oh God, I summon.
I think my wife forwarded me on Instagram of some
group is out there taking video clips of the most
insane homeless people on the people who are screaming and
frothing at the mouth and running half naked in the streets.
(15:36):
And it was all Hollywood Boulevard stuff, and it was
all recent and and that's another place we can't go to,
Hollywood Boulevard. And it says they want greater police, president, president,
greater police presidence, well, foot beats, bike patrols, blah blah blah. No,
you have to get these people off the street and
(16:00):
keep them off. You have to arrest them, and you
have to put them away in a mental institution or
a drug addiction treatment plan. They want city Attorney and
the DA to publicly commit to prosecute quality of life crimes,
petty theft, disorderly conduct. Again, if you don't put the
(16:22):
mental patients and drug addicts away, this is never going
to happen. They rule, and in progressive politics, they're the
anointed ones. It is the poisonous and destruction of progressive
politics starts with Karen. Karen Bass could end this tomorrow.
She's got the legal right to end this tomorrow. So
does the city council. They refuse to and apparently they
(16:44):
don't care how much of la is sacrificed. There is
no limit to what these lunatics are willing to give up,
and the stupid voters who force them to say goodbye,
you know, to Santa Monica, say goodbye to the Pacific Palisades,
say goodbye to downtown laws Angelos, say goodbye to Hollywood Boulevard.
It doesn't matter if you're a business district, if you're
(17:06):
a cultural center, if you're a tourist attraction, if it's
just a peaceful neighborhood. The progressive politicians are willing to
sacrifice everything in the name of making drug addicts and
mental patience comfortable. We're coming up.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
You're listening to John Cobel's on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
We are on from one till four after four o'clock.
John Cobelt's show on demand on the iHeart app, and
we've got good stuff today, two runs of The Moistline
in the three o'clock hour. And we're also going to
Alex Michaelson on Now from CNN. That's where he's now
reporting and anchoring. He's got a new show coming out
in mid October that's going to run at nine o'clock
(17:56):
Pacific time in the evening midnight on the on the
East Coast. It's a West Coast oriented news program and
starts in a few weeks. But he did his first
reporting and interviewing for CNN a couple of days ago.
It was in New York City for that Climate conference.
Talked with Arnold Schwarzenegger about the Proposition fifty scam to
(18:20):
get rid of the independent Redistricting Commission that we approved
fifteen years ago on the ballot and Newsome now wants
to undo it to consolidate his power within the Democratic Party.
So we'll talk to him about that. We're also to
talk to Royal Oaks about the significance of the former
(18:41):
FBI director James Colby getting indicted yesterday. Now, we I
mean and on the Moist Line, as I mentioned, we
were going to hear a lot of calls about Lenin
de Grede, the Santa Monica mayor. It was on our
show and she was pushing that part of the problem
with out of control mental patients in the streets of
(19:02):
Santa Monica is the crazy train that runs from downtown
to Santa Monica, and at the end of the line
late at night, all the almost mental patients jump out
of the train and then some of them stay for
good in Santa Monica and terrorize the locals and terrorized
the tourists. And this has been going on for a
(19:23):
while because I realized that much of mass transit is
considered some kind of holy grail to these progressive politicians.
They love putting people in train cars and buses. They
love to hurt us into some kind of tube. And
then I realized also billions of dollars goes to the
(19:46):
developers and the construction companies, and probably there's huge kickbacks
to these politicians. So it's another big money scam because
normal people don't use transit by and large. I don't
know of a single person actually, you know, for over
thirty years, I haven't known anybody whose is the bus
(20:07):
in LA and I see the buses now and after
the immigration raids, they're largely empty. I see them rolling
down Wilshire Boulevard and Santa Monica and these are empty
cans driving by. Nobody's on them ever since Ice chased
so many immigrants out. And you know the same thing.
The ridership on the Metro lines are way down. And
(20:32):
it really was a transit system for illegal aliens and vagrants,
and we all spent billions of dollars on it and
for what we didn't get anything out of this, and
a lot of people have been the victims of crime
on these trains. Remember there was a big spike about
(20:56):
a year and a half ago, two years ago, and
so Metro officials came up with a plan called tap
to exit. When you had your card that would give
you entry into the subway system. You know, you tap
it and the gate opens up for you, and then
(21:17):
you have to tap it again to leave. Well, when
they because it turns out, like you know, mental patient
criminals don't want to spend the few dollars it costs
to ride the transit system, so they just stopped showing
up and crime went down forty percent, forty percent drop
(21:41):
in security concerns from Maya, twenty twenty four to the
end of July. Now, stupidly, in July they stopped the program.
From what I hear, activists were complaining that it wasn't
fair to the vagrants and the mental patients to make
(22:01):
them pay for a card and tap twice to get
in and out of the system. And they put pressure
on the fire department to say, hey, this is not
this is not safe, this exit strategy. If everybody's going
to tap a card in a fire situation, they're in danger.
So the fire department, under this pressure that realized they
(22:23):
had to analyze the situation, and so they halted the program. Again,
you have to do it twice when you leave and
when you arrive. Well, ever since they stopped the program,
this is what the activist brought us, and our government
has been terrified of progressive activists for many years now,
(22:45):
which is why the vagrants ruled the streets. The crime
numbers skyrocketed by one hundred and sixteen percent at Union
Station as soon as they stopped the program, one hundred
and sixty percent, sixty seven percent in North Hollywood. Not
only that people stopped paying the fare because they didn't
(23:06):
have to tap their card anymore, and they lost thirty
five thousand dollars in fair revenue from both stations. LA
police report that a big rise in drug activity along
the B line. I don't know where that goes, probably
from Hell to L. You know where the B line goes?
Speaker 4 (23:26):
Oh, I never, I know South Hel to North L.
I don't go on those and I don't know what.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
The what the fair is, but I'm guessing a couple
of dollars. So they suspended a program that had cut
the crime by forty percent. Now it's suddenly up one
hundred and sixteen percent. One station B line goes from
Universal to Union Station. Union Station. Oh yeah, yeah, uh,
you don't want to go there.
Speaker 4 (23:52):
I have.
Speaker 5 (23:54):
I think I have many many, many, many many years ago.
You went where I went from Universal to I believe
downtown many years ago. I also took I think it's
Universal and you can go to the Pantagious.
Speaker 4 (24:08):
I did that a long time ago.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
I was on the train twice, once about thirty years
ago and once about five years ago. Took the train
to usc to see a Rams playoff game. But that
was such a pain in the ass standing this long, long,
long line to get back on the ex bow line
to go to the West side. It's like, I'm not
doing this again. I mean, I just don't go to
(24:30):
the game. And that now the Rams have moved. That's
when they were playing at USC But holy Jesus, that
was a pain in the ass. That was no fun.
Speaker 5 (24:37):
I mean, look, honestly, I think if we can get
the train situation squared away and it was safe, I mean,
it would be it would be great when you go
to New York or you go to other countries or whatever,
right you use mass transit. Not that New York is
amazing because I you know, I've been scared going on.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
Well there there there have been areas where it is
it has been amazing, and the crime has been low,
and thebways have been safe, like during the Giuliani Bloomberg years,
because we went every year. Every year we went back
east when my parents were alive, and we brought the
kids and we stayed at a hotel in New York
City and saw my parents in New Jersey. So that
(25:15):
era was great. It was twenty years. It was eight
years of Giuliani, twelve years of Bloomberg, and now now
it's gone to hell. Again we come back. They tried
free transit in Albuquerque now, and I'm telling you this
because the Communists taking over New York City. Zoran Momdanmi
(25:36):
wants free transit, free subways. But I'm gonna explain to
you what happens because in LA, the communists here pushed
for that as well, and that's why they they lobbied
very hard to get rid of tapping to exit. Basically,
it makes the ride free because now they're not checking. No,
(25:57):
there's no electronic or human way to check to see
if you paid your fare. So the number the money
they make from fares is way down. At some stations,
this crime is way up all because they don't want
to force people to pay and check that they've they've paid. Well,
we see what happens in LA. You've seen what happens
(26:18):
in New York, and they want to bring back free
mass transit New York. Listen to Albuquerque when you come back.
You'd think Albuquerque is nothing in common with these gigantic metropolises,
but human nature is the same everywhere. Tell you about it.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
Royal Oakes will be on form ABC News the Legal
Analyst right after three o'clock to tell us why James
Colemy got indicted yesterday, the former FBI director. We'll talk
about that for a little bit. We've got two rounds
of the Moist Sign Alex Michaelson to talk about Schwarzenegger
coming out very strongly against Prop fifty to redraw the
districting lines. That's the big newsom scamp. But I just
(27:05):
want to finish up on what I was talking about,
because you know, one thing, I know a lot of
people are unhappy with Lennondi Gretti's appearance from Santa Monica
trying to explain away all the vagrants and mental patients.
But one thing she said is true, and I've heard
it from a number of people. Nobody has told me
it's wrong. The mental patients are coming off the train.
(27:26):
It's the E line now used to be the Expo
line downtown to Santa Monica ebdumpt in Santa Monica at
the end of the night, and then they wreak havoc
and they're still there the next morning or you know,
for the next year. And there's a lot of you know,
homeless services in the city that the county has put in.
So it's a it's a huge magnet for mental patients
(27:47):
and drug addicts. And you know, they stop their program
of requiring all these characters to tap their metro card
on the way out to prove that they paid. So
a lot of the vagrants aren't paying anymore again because
they don't have to tap to get out of the system.
(28:11):
Zoram Mamdani in New York City wants an entirely free
public service system public transportation system. They tried this in Albuquerque.
Here's what's happened. They used to charge a dollar for
a bus fare in Albuquerque. Now they got rid of
that dollar charge, and all the homeless in the city
(28:36):
has flocked to the buses because they can relax all
day and stay out of the heat and it gets
really hot in Albuquerque. They can stay out of the cold,
they can stay out of the rain storms. So the
city's buses, according to the National Review Paul Guessing, they've
(28:58):
become rolling homeless shelters. They've also become getaway vehicles for shoplifters.
As soon as as soon as the program started. Albuquerque
media reported two years ago that the free buses were
(29:20):
being used as getaways for shoplifters. They they just steal
their stuff and they jump on board the bus and
they could sit on the bus all day and join
the drug addicts and the mental patients. A Democrat, a
former New Mexico Attorney General named Hector Balderos, says, well,
(29:42):
I think that the no fee for riders seemed like
a well intentioned policy. That's how they always defended. Progressives
always said, well, it was well intentioned, stupid, but there
must be safety requirements. You can't just let everyone ride
on the bus with stolen's. They the Albuquerque Police undertook

a sting operation. They arrested thirty one people. Ten of
the thirty one used a city bus for a getaway.
One city councilor said there was a twenty five percent
increase in police calls at buses and bus stops since
they gave free bus rides away drugs. Big problem on
(30:30):
the buses because they take the bus all day and
they shoot up and they snore it and they smoke.
Twelve to thirty one people arrested. Nine of the ten
of the thirty one used the city bus. Twelve of
the thirty one had drugs or drug paraphernalia on them,
mostly related to fentanyl. So the Albubuquerque bus system now
(30:53):
ferries fitted the laddics up and down the city streets
all day and every once in a while and the
fentanyl wears off and they come back to consciousness, they
get out of the bus and they steal some stuff
and they get back on the bus. This is truly
what's going on. Nine bus drivers have quit and they
(31:15):
said it was it was the free fairs program. There
are now eighty six vacant driver positions. The city council.
Some of them wanted to require writers to at least
show government ID to ride on the bus, but the
proposal was never adopted over concerns about equity equity. I
(31:47):
have never seen a progressive policy that didn't cause destruction,
that didn't fail miserably, and I think that's the idea.
It's not well intentioned. The idea is to destroy the system,
any system, all systems, just destroy our way of life.
That is the central tenet of progressivism, destroy civilized society.
(32:11):
And even in Albuquerque the bus program proves I'm correct, nothing,
nothing good has come out of progressive politics, and people
keep voting for it. When we come back, we're gonna
have a Royal Oaks hunt. ABC News on the Komi Thing.
