Speaker 1 (00:00):
Can if I am six forty you're listening to the
John Cobelt Podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Welcome, how are you? Ron?
Speaker 1 (00:08):
All back together again? And we're on every day from
one until four o'clock and then after four o'clock John
Cobelt Show on demand of the iHeart app, so we
can all get back into our regular habits and you
can listen to whatever you missed. I had a really
good week off. I'll talk more about it later, but
I spent all the time in these beautiful smaller Southeastern
(00:31):
cities where that are really well run and really clean,
with little crime, very little homelessness, and just everything's in
order and people are happy. And gas is I saw
it as low as two dollars and seventy seven sets
(00:52):
in all what where was I was in North Carolina,
South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, and the gas range ranged from
two seventy five no kidding, that's all I paid for gas.
In fact, I even sent to Eric and Ray and
Deborah a shot of one of the gas pumps. I
got eleven gallons of gas and it was thirty one dollars.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
So out in the.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Rest of America, life is good. And it's normal the
way you remember it. And then there's California, and the
big story that broke today is that a federal judge,
Charles Bryer, he's a district judge, has blocked the Trump
(01:37):
administration from using California troops to enforce civilian law. You know,
the Marines are still here in Los Angeles. This is
all left over from June and the Ice riots. And
they were riots. And Briar had issued an anti Trump
(01:58):
judgment a while back regarding the National Guard, and the
Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals overruled him, and so Trump
still can overrule Newsom when it comes to putting out
the National Guard. So Newsom also sued over the use
of the Marines here in Los Angeles. And once again
(02:20):
Charles Bryer, who's a Clinton appointee. His brother, Stephen Bryer
was on the Supreme Court appointed by Clinton. So the
two of these two Briar brothers cause all sorts of
trouble over the years for common sense. And Charles is
(02:43):
having his moment in the sun. He didn't make it
to be a Supreme Court justice, and now he's making
his name saying no to Trump. And he says, what
is the threat? What was the threat yesterday or two
weeks ago. I'm trying to see if there's any limits
to the use of a federal force.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
See.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Trump wants to use the National Guard in the military
to stop the crime in the cities. He's threatening to
do it to New York, He's threatening to do it
to Chicago. And of course progressive people and their loving
judges are saying, well, this is just he's trying for
martial law. He's trying to federalize a police force here.
(03:27):
And you know what, after spending a week in Charlotte
and Savannah and Charleston and Sarasota, I am now all
for martial law, not that they have it here, and
not that they have I'm all for martial law, and
I'm all for nationalizing a police force. And when a
governor or a mayor cannot do the right thing and
(03:50):
get rid of all the criminals and put the bad
guys in prison, then yeah, said it in the National Guard.
I mean, because enough is enough. I see the way
people live in other cities, like in the Southeast, and
I get envious. I can't walk around saying wow, this
is great. I'm thinking, wow, this is great, And I
got to go back to that, because why why is
(04:13):
everybody putting up this crap? They don't do it in
all the other cities. And so that's the thing here.
If Newsome and Bash will not do their job and
get rid of the criminals and the rioters and the
illegal aliens, somebody's got to do it, because we shouldn't.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Have to live like this.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Normal people shouldn't be held hostage to progress a garbage
and nonsense anymore. Like enough is enough. And I actually
don't care what Trump does anymore. And he'll probably you know,
get we'll get another hearing at the Appeals Court, Ninth
Circuit or eventually the Supreme Court. Maybe one of those
judge panels will find it his favor. And then I
(04:56):
think you ought to send the National Guard, the Marines
at a anyway, send him into Chicago.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
See, they had like like.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Nine people shot to death over the weekend in Chicago,
fifty four people wounded. Why should the people of Chicago
have to have to suffer from that because they have
an idiot progressive mayor who won't have criminals arrested and
put away. I don't I don't understand the logic of this.
This this is the people getting shot in the head,
(05:24):
people getting wounded, people bleeding out in the streets, and
we got to put up with it. Well, you know,
on top of that accord of the La Times, I
don't know how trustworthy it is.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
There is a lot of dispute.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Whether whether there's any federal statute that really covers the
situation like this. The Times quotes a law professor at
Ohio Northern University named Dan Maherr and Mara says, well,
this is an opportunity to get more meeting to us
(06:00):
that is notoriously vague. It's important to see what the
president can get away with. Meaning whoever wrote these statutes,
they're quite imprecise. It's not clear that he can't do it.
And if he says he can, and Newsom says he
can't and the language is hazy, well then why.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Should he be stopped?
Speaker 1 (06:27):
It has to say I would think explicitly you cannot
do this, And anything that doesn't say explicitly no, well
that means yes. And there's another quote here along the
same lines. And you know the side stories that came
(06:52):
out is back in August. You remember when border patrol
agents masked in MacArthur Park and that's when Karen Bass
went crazy and it started screaming at Ice agents. Well
one of a couple of times. Apparently Border Patrol agents
(07:14):
were going to target the park on Father's Day, and
on August twelfth, Major General Scott Marshall Sherman testified that
the agents were going to run through the park on
Father's Day and then the military overruled the decision. The
Marines overruled, saying the expected crowds made it too dangerous.
(07:37):
According to Major General Sherman, it was going to be
a very large amount of people in the park. I
could not approve it because of the high risk. This
is how badly Trump and Tom Homan want to send
the illegal aliens and Bass and knew some message. You
imagine if they pulled off a raid on Father's Day
at MacArthur Park, and they would have done it accept
(08:01):
his own military commander said, no, that's a little much.
But Trump has said we're gonna look at New York
and we're gonna do the same thing in Chicago. Hopefully
la is watching and he needs to do this. And
if newsom in Bash don't want the National Guard in
and they don't want the Marines in, or the army
or the air Force or whatever else can be sent in.
(08:22):
Then get the criminals off the streets, get the homeless
off the streets, and let's end this era.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Let's end all this nonsense.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
But they want Trump to do this because it makes
the leaders of the resistance and their ego bloats up
every time they get to have a challenge and file
another lawsuit and get cheap headlines. But if he can't
do it, then who's gonna do it? They won't, So
why do we have to live like this? If they won't,
We'll continue talking about this when we come back. All right,
(08:51):
I'm fired up, I'm ready to go. Already.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI A
six forty.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
John Coblt's Show back on We're on every day from
one until four o'clock and then after four o'clock John
coblt Show.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
On demand on the iHeart app. Here's another thing.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
That got to be today, all right, the things we
shouldn't have to put up with. So The Alley Times
runs this happy Smiley story about a group of San
Fernando Valley volunteers who pick up trash, and they find
satisfaction in community. They're all making friends. They gather at
(09:36):
eight in the morning in Canoga Park. They wear neon
yellow vests, they carry trash bags, and they pick up
all the disgusting filth that the homeless and the criminals
and the locals leave behind, all the garbages over the
sidewalks and the gutters.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
And for the next two hours.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
They clean it up, and every times marvels on how
wonderful this is. And the whole time I'm saying, wait
a second, we pay billions and billions of dollars in taxes.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
One of the.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Basic services we should get is that city should have
workers and the sanitation department doing all this. Why do
we have the uh, the elderly wandering around in the
hot sun picking up filthy garbage and and this this
is what I'm talking about. There's there's very little in
(10:34):
here that says, you know, this really is the job
of the city, and we're paying for it. And this
is another massive Karen Bass failure, massive overwhelming failure basic
city services.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
And said, oh, is.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
It wonderful that they're finding friends and now they're going
on trips together, and oh, geez, I'll read you this.
The group leader is Jill mother, and I'm glad they're
all making a lot of friends. But nobody should be
having to do this. Their job that morning was cleaning
(11:08):
a mile loge stretch of Sherman Way. Now get this,
you know this is what life is like when you
grow old. Then I'm pulling out the old exit bag.
For the next two hours, they plucked Q tips and
chicken bones off the ground with grabber tools. Now, who
(11:29):
in the neighborhood is throwing their queue tips? And what
are the kid tips being used for? I have a
feeling it's something other than ears, but I don't know what.
Then they pulled paper plates and coffee cups from the bushes,
soiled napkins, and vape canisters from the gutters. Yeah, these
are the all the uh, it's all the riff raff people.
(11:53):
It's all the dirty rift brath people who used the
city streets as a toy. Wow, exactly who is living
in this section of Canoga Park. I have never known
anyone in my life who threw Q tips, chicken bones,
(12:14):
and vape canisters out on the sidewalk, out on the
lawn in the park.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
In the gutter.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
She scooped up a black slipper from an abandoned shopping cart.
This is homeless people garbage, that's what this is. Who
leaves their slippers in shopping carts and they call it
trashing And the next day they were out there again.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
It's called volunteers cleaning communities.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
These are retirees in their sixties and seventies, fanning out
across in the San Fernando Valley six days a week,
about two hundred and fifty people there in the East Valley,
Brentwood Center, Monica. That I don't know, I really, honest
to God, I don't understand this. I didn't have this
in my town growing up. The town had a sanitation
(13:10):
department of the county did and came around and uh, everyone,
I remember, we all threw our garbage in garbage bags
and then put the garbage bags in trash cans. They
don't do that in Canoga Park or It's again, it's
the disgusting straight people. If I was Karen Pass, I'd
(13:32):
be so embarrassed if I if I woke up in
the morning, I'm the mayor of a city and I'm
seeing that we have hundreds of elderly people who have
to stand out in the hot sun and pick up
Q tips and chicken bones. I'd be I'd be mortified.
But she's not capable of shame because she's she's another
narcissistic psychopath.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Here's the.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
It says here more than a decade ago, go a
city hall ten years ago. This is another Garcetti phenomenon,
because I noticed while Garcetti that disgusting jackass when he
was running things. They had a city hall report about
the state of litter and illegal dumping. Some neighborhoods, according
to the report, were in a constant state of uncleanliness,
(14:21):
and the report blamed the city for failing to enforce
anti dumping laws and businesses and residents for.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
Throwing out the garbage into the streets.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Again, what do the city workers do in that department
that's supposed to enforce the anti dumping laws?
Speaker 2 (14:36):
What do they do all day? Do they drink?
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Are they shooting up? Do they go to motels and
bed down prostitutes? How do they spend their days? And
they write Litter is often as much a part of
the landscape as LA's palm trees and mini malls. Straight
plastic bags hang off trees, Twisted pieces of clothing are
(15:05):
in the roadways, trash bins overflow. That's foul and disgusting.
That's third world.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
Karen Bass is encouraging residents to beautify the streets for
the twenty twenty eight Olympics. No, you should, that's your job.
She is such a loser. She's a lazy loser.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
She tells, she tells what the elderly to go out
and clean everything up and touch all the diseased filth.
In fact, Matt Bass even even joined Jill Mother even
joined her at a cleanup event in Sherman Oaks earlier
this year. You know, Joe Mother, here's an enabler. She
(15:51):
should have punched at Karen Bass in the nose, say
what do you mean you're gonna help me clean up?
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Where's the where's the uh?
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Where's the sanitation department? In their hazmat suits? Well you
what are you come in here with your fake smile
and the TV cameras and the photographers to show off
how you're joining the community cleanup brigade.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Phony, She's such a phony.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
They found they go up into the mountains, they found
abandoned motorcycles, washing machines. They stand on the one eighteen
picking up litter. We have elderly people in Los Angeles
standing along the one eighteen to pick up garbage because
Karen Bass doesn't have the city workers do it.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Young men getting paid a lot of money. I'm sure union.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
Protected nice benefits, and they don't go outside of the
hot sun and pick up the litter on the freeways.
They had their grandparents come out and do it. The
people driving by think they're criminals sentenced to community service.
(17:10):
One said, what did you do? Did you get a dui?
Drivers honk it approval and locals cheer on the members.
Why are they doing that? You should be driving to
the city hall, to Karen Vass's office and.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Storming in there. Is everybody crazy.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
They have found a box that contains human ashes, They
have found a gun, They have found dead dogs. No
city workers are around to clean up the dead dogs either.
Is anybody embarrassed by this? Anybody anybody angry about this?
(17:51):
Or is this what we have to do now to
clean up for the twenty twenty eight Olympics. Karen Bass
already marched out in the to the one eighteen.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Good court. All right, we've got more coming up.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Oh Moist lines back this week.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
I forgot eight seven seven Moist staighty six eight seven
seven Moist eighty six, or use the iHeart well or
use the talkback feature on the iHeartRadio out. That's right,
I'm gone for a week. I'm just completely out of rhythm.
I don't know what the hell I'm doing here. After
two o'clock, Royal Oaks is coming on the ABC News
(18:35):
Legal Analyst to talk about that judge ruling the use
of federal troops in Los Angeles is against the law illegal.
We talked about that earlier in the show, and we
are going to get Royal Oakes's view of it. Obviously,
it's going to go to the Appeals Court and probably
(18:57):
eventually to the Supreme Court, because we already went. We
played this game with the judge Charles Bryer before when
he tried to say that Newsom is the final authority
over the use of the National Guard, not the president.
To me, it was always just look at the phrase
(19:20):
national guard. I would think that means the National Guard
is under control of the president ultimately.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
But what do. I know.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
I'm not a district judge or an appeals court judge.
Just try to use logic and common sense. Now, the
root causes so much of the chaos in the city
of Los Angeles and in other cities is we have
lots and lots of mental patients on the streets and
(19:51):
there is zero desire on the part of the government
to put them away. And there's a reason for that,
and it all goes back to the progressive religion. You
have to understand the tenets of the progressive religion. You're
not going to get it explained in most media because
most of the people in the major media outlets are
(20:14):
members of the church. And so you know, I mean,
I'm sure many people listening maybe you you have strong
religious beliefs, you were raised a certain way, and you
wouldn't go out publicly and denounce your religion, the belief system,
the tenets of it. Right, of course not, and you
(20:35):
might be angry with people who do, especially if they
were people within your church. So there's just it's human nature.
Members of the church are not going to denounce the church.
So you're not going to get much media coverage saying that, hey,
this is wrong that we have mental patients running around
because in their belief system, mental patients and criminals as
(20:59):
well as illegal aliens and homeless people, they're all oppressed
members of society. That's the holy trinity I've told you about.
Just to extend this religious metaphor, the holy trinity for
progressives is illegal aliens, homeless people, and criminals, and a
(21:19):
subset of criminals and homeless people are mental patients. It's
a big percentage of both categories. So since these people
are part of the holy Trinity, you can't do anything
to them that would take away their freedom, take away
their choice of what to do with their days and
their lives. So this leads to chaos. This leads to
(21:43):
many areas of the city being uninhabitable, many cities uninhabitable.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
Now. Every once in a while, the.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Narcissistic psychopath Gavin Newsom goes public with some kind of
fake announcement that he's finally figured out how to change
things to make things better, and Marissa Kendall at cal
Matters wrote a story today on Newsom stepping up to
(22:15):
the lectern back in March three years ago. In twenty
twenty two, had proposed a new solution to one of
the state's most difficult problems, how to help thousands of
Californians sleeping on the streets while suffering from severe mental illness.
And everything the state had done before had failed, but
(22:41):
his program would be different. So here is what's happened.
According to Kendall, in the two years since Newsom launched
care Court, it has reached only a few hundred people.
He had promised thousand. In fact, he had complained about
(23:06):
a previous mental health program called Laura's Law, and that
only helped about two hundred people a year, and he
criticized it, and his program was going to help thousands.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Well, it helped only slightly more.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
Cow Matters contacted every county in California, all fifty eight
and requested care Court data, conducted more than thirty interviews
for the first detailed look at the state program, and
they found out only five hundred and twenty eight people
(23:47):
have gotten treatment agreements or treatment plans. Now they've gotten
thousands of petitions. Well, two four hundred and twenty one.
Newsom had said it was going to be up to
twelve thousand would qualify, but we just got twenty four
(24:08):
hundred petitions. And only five hundred have resulted in treatment.
Los Angeles only saw five hundred and eleven petitions filed,
only one hundred and twelve resulted in care agreements or plans.
Now we know there's seventy thousand people living in La
(24:28):
County in a homeless environment. Seventy thousand. So Newsom's big
program helped one hundred and twelve. How about that. So
the narcissistic psychopath has let this program limp along for
three years after his big press conference and has helped
(24:54):
virtually nobody. It's a statistically insignificant percentage of people were helped.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
That's the same thing in San Diego.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
They had one thousand petitions in the first year, but
they only helped two hundred and fifty after two years,
two more years, three hundred and eighty four petitions, one
hundred and thirty four agreements for help. So his big
idea has been largely a flop. It hasn't changed what's
(25:29):
going on in the streets because you have to force people.
You pick them up off the streets, You make a
quick assessment, and you put them in some kind of
treatment center, and they do a further assessment and you
keep them there. That's the only thing that ultimili is
going to work. They're not oppressed, they're insane. Criminals are
(25:57):
not oppressed.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
They're evil and this violates Newsome and Bass's religion, so
they don't do anything about it. They can't.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
They took an oath to serve these people at our expense.
That's who they wake up in the morning worrying about.
That's why Cared Bass runs and screams hysterically at border
patrol agents adhering to the law and has nothing to
say to the homeowners of the Palisades who saw their
(26:36):
town burned down because of her negligence. She doesn't care
about normal people neither just Newsome. I don't think they
really care about these mental patients and homeless people either,
because these people live in disgusting, disgusting conditions, disgusting squalor.
(27:00):
But in their religion, those people are oppressed and they
have the right to do so.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
You're following all this, I'm telling you the truth. You'll see.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
We can all convene this time again in three months,
six months, a year, and this situation will be the
same because bassit Newsom will still revere all those categories
protected by their religion, and very few people in the
media will criticize them over it complain about it, because
(27:31):
again they go to the same church.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
More coming up.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
On from one to four and after four o'clock. You
listened to the podcast earlier, we talked about Trump losing
a decision in the district court. Charles Bryer said he
cannot use federal troops in Los Angeles to conduct law
enforcement operations. There're still marines here. Trump has been threatening
(28:01):
to use them to enforce criminal law. They were left
over from the Ice riots. Royal Oaks. ABC News legal
analysts coming on right after two o'clock to tell us
the likelihood of Trump winning in appeals court the way
he did last time when Briar said that Trump could
(28:22):
not be in charge of the National Guard here in California,
and Briar had said you can't, and the appeals court says, well,
yes you can, You're the president. So we'll see if
this next ruling goes down the same path.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
Hey, Deborah, are you there, I'm here, Can you hear me? Yeah?
I have not talked to you in weeks.
Speaker 4 (28:46):
I miss you.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
Well, you were you went off to Italy, I know,
and then you went off I know, and.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
I'm still off you. Nothing happened there.
Speaker 4 (29:00):
Can you believe it?
Speaker 2 (29:01):
And I know you're so disappointed.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
We were mildly disappointed, like if at least a volcano
had blown yep, or some kind of earthquake or I
you know, some outbreak.
Speaker 4 (29:14):
No, nothing, can you believe that?
Speaker 1 (29:18):
But I think the first time in five years, you
didn't cause a disaster in the country you were visiting.
Speaker 4 (29:23):
I know, I know.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
I feel so proud. Wow, so it's safe to travel
when you're traveling now, Yes.
Speaker 4 (29:32):
Yes, so some has gone and I think I'm okay.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
Well, it was getting spooky, it was.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
I think if you had caused something to happen in
Italy then and Trump would do this, he would have
just it probably would have banned you from from either
leaving or returning to the country.
Speaker 4 (29:51):
And I wouldn't blame him. Actually, yeah, when I got
off the plane, I was I was very happy that
I could say that I honestly did not cause any
chaos there.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
I know, because a war broke out just a couple
of years ago in Israel. The big war just days
after you were supposed to arrive.
Speaker 4 (30:13):
Yeah, well, yes, and days before.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
Or actually broke it days before you arrived, right, yes.
And then there was massive flooding in Dubai right before
you were supposed to land there. Yep, the queen you
killed the queen while you were in Scotland. She actually
died almost in front of you, that's yeah. And then
(30:36):
you got COVID Mexican. You started a COVID outbreak in Mexico. Yeah,
that's four. That's four major events.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
But Italy so nothing.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
You know, and lots of stuff goes on in Italy.
It's very unstable in a lot of ways. You know,
they've had I read the other day they've had like
sixty one governments in the last sixty nine years. So
I figured, well, at least the government will fall apart,
because it does anyway.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
Right.
Speaker 4 (31:00):
Well, you were also worried about earthquakes, right, you thought
there would be.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
A big earthquake. Earthquakes very common.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
Volcanoes, I mean one down in Sicily is always spewing lava,
I mean that's routine. I figured we were due for
Vesuvius again. Probably nothing, no, nothing.
Speaker 4 (31:17):
I had such a good time. It was so great,
just my daughter and I just you know, having some
girl time.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
It was.
Speaker 4 (31:25):
It was pretty special.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
What and Ita least clean for the most part, right.
Speaker 4 (31:30):
Uh, you know, I did see some homeless people in Florence.
I thought of you, I didn't yeah, I did, yes,
And Milan. I didn't stay in Milan, but we went
through so you know a few, yeah, just a few.
I mean I didn't study it. I didn't spend a
lot of time well Milan, I just kind of went
in and out. But I did notice that same thing
(31:51):
with Florence, but not not anything.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
Like what we have here. Nothing.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
Yeah, yeah, Because I mentioned before, I went through all
the Southeastern states Florida and uh, Georgia, North and South Carolina,
went to went to the bigger cities in each one,
you know, names you'd recognize, like Charleston and Savannah, and
and Charlotte, and very little Charlotte has a little bit,
a little bit just you know, a few confined to
(32:18):
a couple of blocks downtown Savannah zero, Charleston zero. And
Sarasota just has a few confined to a block or
two in the downtown area. And and and like in
Sarasota they have just older guys, uh you know, to
actually have like gray hair, they claim their vets. I
(32:40):
never believe anybody's a vet anymore. I think that they
figured out that's that's that's the money maker. That's the
sign to hold up and you'll make the most money.
Speaker 4 (32:49):
That was style, John, Sorry, that was your first time
in Savannah, right.
Speaker 2 (32:54):
Yeah, and you loved it. I was absolutely beautiful.
Speaker 1 (32:59):
We took you know, that historic walk that I knew
that you took some years ago. But you know what
what struck me is just the ease of everything, and
it was just everything is oh. Plus when you go
to the store, you know, they give you real plastic
uh plastic bags to use for your groceries and you
put your.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
Vegetables in real plastic bags. Yeah, you know. You go
for gas and they don't have some some complicated mechanism
to pump the gas in.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
You just pull the hose out and you put it.
You put it right into the car.
Speaker 4 (33:33):
Did you go to a pharmacy? Yes, I know. Did
you go to a pharmacy or anything?
Speaker 2 (33:37):
Locked up?
Speaker 1 (33:40):
Not? In three of the states there was Where did
I go? There was one place I went and they
had to had it locked up. Not in Sarasota. I
don't remember one of the one of the four. I
ran into one pharmacy where there was a few things
locked up, but for the most part, no, I mean
forest park. Every every annoying thing that I never heard
(34:02):
of in my life until over the last ten years
in California is not existing in these other states. It's
non existent. And you know what, They've got different kinds
of government. I'm sorry, Ron DeSantis. It's a thousand times
superior as a governor. The Gavin Usom o't care what
you say. You're wrong, you're out of your mind. Just
(34:23):
go jump off a bridge. A thousand times better as
a governor.
Speaker 4 (34:26):
I have to tell you real quick. I was in
the airport in France. My layover was in France. Well
that's a long story. I almost missed that flight, but
that was not my fault. And I heard some people
behind me talking about Mayor Bass and Governor Newsom, so
I was sort of eavesdropping. So then I turned around
and I said, well, I'm a news anchor in la
(34:47):
and I'm really interested in hearing what you guys have
to say. And these people, I think they live.
Speaker 3 (34:53):
Well.
Speaker 4 (34:53):
One of this one couple they live in the desert,
but I think that they were in your neck of
the woods, you know, on the west side. But oh
my gosh, what they were saying about Newsom and Bass,
it was unbelievable. I mean, you know, I was gone
for a week and a half. I didn't hear anything
about any of these people. But my ears put in Paris,
and I'm hearing these people talking about Newsom and Bass.
Speaker 1 (35:17):
So I thought you wanted to hear that they should
they should be denounced around the world. The whole world
should know just how horrible these two are. And I'm
just I'm going to say this until you start, you know,
shutting the radio off. Life is different in the other
forty nine states. We stand alone with this insanity alone.
(35:39):
It's not like this life and the rest of the
country is like you remember maybe ten, fifteen, twenty years ago,
and and back as far as your childhood, wherever your childhood.
Speaker 2 (35:52):
Was, it is. It's just normal.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
It's all the things that I never took, all the
things that took for granted, I can take for granted again.
Speaker 2 (36:04):
And it's such a shocking difference.
Speaker 1 (36:09):
And you know, if there was some magical way I
could take everybody and just transport transport them into these
other cities and states for just today, just for twenty
four hours. And if there was some kind of time machine.
Oh yeah, yeah, it's wonderful outside. Just more coming up.
We got morel oaks to talk about the latest Trump
(36:32):
fight in the district court regarding the Marines that are
still in town. Debora Mark is live in the KFI
twenty four hour newsroom. Hey, you've been listening to the
John Cobalt Show podcast. You can always hear the show
live on KFI Am six forty from one to four
pm every Monday through Friday, and of course anytime on
demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Can if I am six forty you're listening to the
John Cobelt Podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Welcome, how are you? Ron?
Speaker 1 (00:08):
All back together again? And we're on every day from
one until four o'clock and then after four o'clock John
Cobelt Show on demand of the iHeart app, so we
can all get back into our regular habits and you
can listen to whatever you missed. I had a really
good week off. I'll talk more about it later, but
I spent all the time in these beautiful smaller Southeastern
(00:31):
cities where that are really well run and really clean,
with little crime, very little homelessness, and just everything's in
order and people are happy. And gas is I saw
it as low as two dollars and seventy seven sets
(00:52):
in all what where was I was in North Carolina,
South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, and the gas range ranged from
two seventy five no kidding, that's all I paid for gas.
In fact, I even sent to Eric and Ray and
Deborah a shot of one of the gas pumps. I
got eleven gallons of gas and it was thirty one dollars.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
So out in the.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Rest of America, life is good. And it's normal the
way you remember it. And then there's California, and the
big story that broke today is that a federal judge,
Charles Bryer, he's a district judge, has blocked the Trump
(01:37):
administration from using California troops to enforce civilian law. You know,
the Marines are still here in Los Angeles. This is
all left over from June and the Ice riots. And
they were riots. And Briar had issued an anti Trump
(01:58):
judgment a while back regarding the National Guard, and the
Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals overruled him, and so Trump
still can overrule Newsom when it comes to putting out
the National Guard. So Newsom also sued over the use
of the Marines here in Los Angeles. And once again
(02:20):
Charles Bryer, who's a Clinton appointee. His brother, Stephen Bryer
was on the Supreme Court appointed by Clinton. So the
two of these two Briar brothers cause all sorts of
trouble over the years for common sense. And Charles is
(02:43):
having his moment in the sun. He didn't make it
to be a Supreme Court justice, and now he's making
his name saying no to Trump. And he says, what
is the threat? What was the threat yesterday or two
weeks ago. I'm trying to see if there's any limits
to the use of a federal force.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
See.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Trump wants to use the National Guard in the military
to stop the crime in the cities. He's threatening to
do it to New York, He's threatening to do it
to Chicago. And of course progressive people and their loving
judges are saying, well, this is just he's trying for
martial law. He's trying to federalize a police force here.
(03:27):
And you know what, after spending a week in Charlotte
and Savannah and Charleston and Sarasota, I am now all
for martial law, not that they have it here, and
not that they have I'm all for martial law, and
I'm all for nationalizing a police force. And when a
governor or a mayor cannot do the right thing and
(03:50):
get rid of all the criminals and put the bad
guys in prison, then yeah, said it in the National Guard.
I mean, because enough is enough. I see the way
people live in other cities, like in the Southeast, and
I get envious. I can't walk around saying wow, this
is great. I'm thinking, wow, this is great, And I
got to go back to that, because why why is
(04:13):
everybody putting up this crap? They don't do it in
all the other cities. And so that's the thing here.
If Newsome and Bash will not do their job and
get rid of the criminals and the rioters and the
illegal aliens, somebody's got to do it, because we shouldn't.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Have to live like this.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Normal people shouldn't be held hostage to progress a garbage
and nonsense anymore. Like enough is enough. And I actually
don't care what Trump does anymore. And he'll probably you know,
get we'll get another hearing at the Appeals Court, Ninth
Circuit or eventually the Supreme Court. Maybe one of those
judge panels will find it his favor. And then I
(04:56):
think you ought to send the National Guard, the Marines
at a anyway, send him into Chicago.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
See, they had like like.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Nine people shot to death over the weekend in Chicago,
fifty four people wounded. Why should the people of Chicago
have to have to suffer from that because they have
an idiot progressive mayor who won't have criminals arrested and
put away. I don't I don't understand the logic of this.
This this is the people getting shot in the head,
(05:24):
people getting wounded, people bleeding out in the streets, and
we got to put up with it. Well, you know,
on top of that accord of the La Times, I
don't know how trustworthy it is.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
There is a lot of dispute.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Whether whether there's any federal statute that really covers the
situation like this. The Times quotes a law professor at
Ohio Northern University named Dan Maherr and Mara says, well,
this is an opportunity to get more meeting to us
(06:00):
that is notoriously vague. It's important to see what the
president can get away with. Meaning whoever wrote these statutes,
they're quite imprecise. It's not clear that he can't do it.
And if he says he can, and Newsom says he
can't and the language is hazy, well then why.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Should he be stopped?
Speaker 1 (06:27):
It has to say I would think explicitly you cannot
do this, And anything that doesn't say explicitly no, well
that means yes. And there's another quote here along the
same lines. And you know the side stories that came
(06:52):
out is back in August. You remember when border patrol
agents masked in MacArthur Park and that's when Karen Bass
went crazy and it started screaming at Ice agents. Well
one of a couple of times. Apparently Border Patrol agents
(07:14):
were going to target the park on Father's Day, and
on August twelfth, Major General Scott Marshall Sherman testified that
the agents were going to run through the park on
Father's Day and then the military overruled the decision. The
Marines overruled, saying the expected crowds made it too dangerous.
(07:37):
According to Major General Sherman, it was going to be
a very large amount of people in the park. I
could not approve it because of the high risk. This
is how badly Trump and Tom Homan want to send
the illegal aliens and Bass and knew some message. You
imagine if they pulled off a raid on Father's Day
at MacArthur Park, and they would have done it accept
(08:01):
his own military commander said, no, that's a little much.
But Trump has said we're gonna look at New York
and we're gonna do the same thing in Chicago. Hopefully
la is watching and he needs to do this. And
if newsom in Bash don't want the National Guard in
and they don't want the Marines in, or the army
or the air Force or whatever else can be sent in.
(08:22):
Then get the criminals off the streets, get the homeless
off the streets, and let's end this era.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Let's end all this nonsense.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
But they want Trump to do this because it makes
the leaders of the resistance and their ego bloats up
every time they get to have a challenge and file
another lawsuit and get cheap headlines. But if he can't
do it, then who's gonna do it? They won't, So
why do we have to live like this? If they won't,
We'll continue talking about this when we come back. All right,
(08:51):
I'm fired up, I'm ready to go. Already.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI A
six forty.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
John Coblt's Show back on We're on every day from
one until four o'clock and then after four o'clock John
coblt Show.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
On demand on the iHeart app. Here's another thing.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
That got to be today, all right, the things we
shouldn't have to put up with. So The Alley Times
runs this happy Smiley story about a group of San
Fernando Valley volunteers who pick up trash, and they find
satisfaction in community. They're all making friends. They gather at
(09:36):
eight in the morning in Canoga Park. They wear neon
yellow vests, they carry trash bags, and they pick up
all the disgusting filth that the homeless and the criminals
and the locals leave behind, all the garbages over the
sidewalks and the gutters.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
And for the next two hours.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
They clean it up, and every times marvels on how
wonderful this is. And the whole time I'm saying, wait
a second, we pay billions and billions of dollars in taxes.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
One of the.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Basic services we should get is that city should have
workers and the sanitation department doing all this. Why do
we have the uh, the elderly wandering around in the
hot sun picking up filthy garbage and and this this
is what I'm talking about. There's there's very little in
(10:34):
here that says, you know, this really is the job
of the city, and we're paying for it. And this
is another massive Karen Bass failure, massive overwhelming failure basic
city services.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
And said, oh, is.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
It wonderful that they're finding friends and now they're going
on trips together, and oh, geez, I'll read you this.
The group leader is Jill mother, and I'm glad they're
all making a lot of friends. But nobody should be
having to do this. Their job that morning was cleaning
(11:08):
a mile loge stretch of Sherman Way. Now get this,
you know this is what life is like when you
grow old. Then I'm pulling out the old exit bag.
For the next two hours, they plucked Q tips and
chicken bones off the ground with grabber tools. Now, who
(11:29):
in the neighborhood is throwing their queue tips? And what
are the kid tips being used for? I have a
feeling it's something other than ears, but I don't know what.
Then they pulled paper plates and coffee cups from the bushes,
soiled napkins, and vape canisters from the gutters. Yeah, these
are the all the uh, it's all the riff raff people.
(11:53):
It's all the dirty rift brath people who used the
city streets as a toy. Wow, exactly who is living
in this section of Canoga Park. I have never known
anyone in my life who threw Q tips, chicken bones,
(12:14):
and vape canisters out on the sidewalk, out on the
lawn in the park.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
In the gutter.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
She scooped up a black slipper from an abandoned shopping cart.
This is homeless people garbage, that's what this is. Who
leaves their slippers in shopping carts and they call it
trashing And the next day they were out there again.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
It's called volunteers cleaning communities.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
These are retirees in their sixties and seventies, fanning out
across in the San Fernando Valley six days a week,
about two hundred and fifty people there in the East Valley,
Brentwood Center, Monica. That I don't know, I really, honest
to God, I don't understand this. I didn't have this
in my town growing up. The town had a sanitation
(13:10):
department of the county did and came around and uh, everyone,
I remember, we all threw our garbage in garbage bags
and then put the garbage bags in trash cans. They
don't do that in Canoga Park or It's again, it's
the disgusting straight people. If I was Karen Pass, I'd
(13:32):
be so embarrassed if I if I woke up in
the morning, I'm the mayor of a city and I'm
seeing that we have hundreds of elderly people who have
to stand out in the hot sun and pick up
Q tips and chicken bones. I'd be I'd be mortified.
But she's not capable of shame because she's she's another
narcissistic psychopath.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Here's the.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
It says here more than a decade ago, go a
city hall ten years ago. This is another Garcetti phenomenon,
because I noticed while Garcetti that disgusting jackass when he
was running things. They had a city hall report about
the state of litter and illegal dumping. Some neighborhoods, according
to the report, were in a constant state of uncleanliness,
(14:21):
and the report blamed the city for failing to enforce
anti dumping laws and businesses and residents for.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
Throwing out the garbage into the streets.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Again, what do the city workers do in that department
that's supposed to enforce the anti dumping laws?
Speaker 2 (14:36):
What do they do all day? Do they drink?
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Are they shooting up? Do they go to motels and
bed down prostitutes? How do they spend their days? And
they write Litter is often as much a part of
the landscape as LA's palm trees and mini malls. Straight
plastic bags hang off trees, Twisted pieces of clothing are
(15:05):
in the roadways, trash bins overflow. That's foul and disgusting.
That's third world.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
Karen Bass is encouraging residents to beautify the streets for
the twenty twenty eight Olympics. No, you should, that's your job.
She is such a loser. She's a lazy loser.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
She tells, she tells what the elderly to go out
and clean everything up and touch all the diseased filth.
In fact, Matt Bass even even joined Jill Mother even
joined her at a cleanup event in Sherman Oaks earlier
this year. You know, Joe Mother, here's an enabler. She
(15:51):
should have punched at Karen Bass in the nose, say
what do you mean you're gonna help me clean up?
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Where's the where's the uh?
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Where's the sanitation department? In their hazmat suits? Well you
what are you come in here with your fake smile
and the TV cameras and the photographers to show off
how you're joining the community cleanup brigade.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Phony, She's such a phony.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
They found they go up into the mountains, they found
abandoned motorcycles, washing machines. They stand on the one eighteen
picking up litter. We have elderly people in Los Angeles
standing along the one eighteen to pick up garbage because
Karen Bass doesn't have the city workers do it.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Young men getting paid a lot of money. I'm sure union.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
Protected nice benefits, and they don't go outside of the
hot sun and pick up the litter on the freeways.
They had their grandparents come out and do it. The
people driving by think they're criminals sentenced to community service.
(17:10):
One said, what did you do? Did you get a dui?
Drivers honk it approval and locals cheer on the members.
Why are they doing that? You should be driving to
the city hall, to Karen Vass's office and.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Storming in there. Is everybody crazy.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
They have found a box that contains human ashes, They
have found a gun, They have found dead dogs. No
city workers are around to clean up the dead dogs either.
Is anybody embarrassed by this? Anybody anybody angry about this?
(17:51):
Or is this what we have to do now to
clean up for the twenty twenty eight Olympics. Karen Bass
already marched out in the to the one eighteen.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Good court. All right, we've got more coming up.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Oh Moist lines back this week.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
I forgot eight seven seven Moist staighty six eight seven
seven Moist eighty six, or use the iHeart well or
use the talkback feature on the iHeartRadio out. That's right,
I'm gone for a week. I'm just completely out of rhythm.
I don't know what the hell I'm doing here. After
two o'clock, Royal Oaks is coming on the ABC News
(18:35):
Legal Analyst to talk about that judge ruling the use
of federal troops in Los Angeles is against the law illegal.
We talked about that earlier in the show, and we
are going to get Royal Oakes's view of it. Obviously,
it's going to go to the Appeals Court and probably
(18:57):
eventually to the Supreme Court, because we already went. We
played this game with the judge Charles Bryer before when
he tried to say that Newsom is the final authority
over the use of the National Guard, not the president.
To me, it was always just look at the phrase
(19:20):
national guard. I would think that means the National Guard
is under control of the president ultimately.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
But what do. I know.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
I'm not a district judge or an appeals court judge.
Just try to use logic and common sense. Now, the
root causes so much of the chaos in the city
of Los Angeles and in other cities is we have
lots and lots of mental patients on the streets and
(19:51):
there is zero desire on the part of the government
to put them away. And there's a reason for that,
and it all goes back to the progressive religion. You
have to understand the tenets of the progressive religion. You're
not going to get it explained in most media because
most of the people in the major media outlets are
(20:14):
members of the church. And so you know, I mean,
I'm sure many people listening maybe you you have strong
religious beliefs, you were raised a certain way, and you
wouldn't go out publicly and denounce your religion, the belief system,
the tenets of it. Right, of course not, and you
(20:35):
might be angry with people who do, especially if they
were people within your church. So there's just it's human nature.
Members of the church are not going to denounce the church.
So you're not going to get much media coverage saying that, hey,
this is wrong that we have mental patients running around
because in their belief system, mental patients and criminals as
(20:59):
well as illegal aliens and homeless people, they're all oppressed
members of society. That's the holy trinity I've told you about.
Just to extend this religious metaphor, the holy trinity for
progressives is illegal aliens, homeless people, and criminals, and a
(21:19):
subset of criminals and homeless people are mental patients. It's
a big percentage of both categories. So since these people
are part of the holy Trinity, you can't do anything
to them that would take away their freedom, take away
their choice of what to do with their days and
their lives. So this leads to chaos. This leads to
(21:43):
many areas of the city being uninhabitable, many cities uninhabitable.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
Now. Every once in a while, the.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Narcissistic psychopath Gavin Newsom goes public with some kind of
fake announcement that he's finally figured out how to change
things to make things better, and Marissa Kendall at cal
Matters wrote a story today on Newsom stepping up to
(22:15):
the lectern back in March three years ago. In twenty
twenty two, had proposed a new solution to one of
the state's most difficult problems, how to help thousands of
Californians sleeping on the streets while suffering from severe mental illness.
And everything the state had done before had failed, but
(22:41):
his program would be different. So here is what's happened.
According to Kendall, in the two years since Newsom launched
care Court, it has reached only a few hundred people.
He had promised thousand. In fact, he had complained about
(23:06):
a previous mental health program called Laura's Law, and that
only helped about two hundred people a year, and he
criticized it, and his program was going to help thousands.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Well, it helped only slightly more.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
Cow Matters contacted every county in California, all fifty eight
and requested care Court data, conducted more than thirty interviews
for the first detailed look at the state program, and
they found out only five hundred and twenty eight people
(23:47):
have gotten treatment agreements or treatment plans. Now they've gotten
thousands of petitions. Well, two four hundred and twenty one.
Newsom had said it was going to be up to
twelve thousand would qualify, but we just got twenty four
(24:08):
hundred petitions. And only five hundred have resulted in treatment.
Los Angeles only saw five hundred and eleven petitions filed,
only one hundred and twelve resulted in care agreements or plans.
Now we know there's seventy thousand people living in La
(24:28):
County in a homeless environment. Seventy thousand. So Newsom's big
program helped one hundred and twelve. How about that. So
the narcissistic psychopath has let this program limp along for
three years after his big press conference and has helped
(24:54):
virtually nobody. It's a statistically insignificant percentage of people were helped.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
That's the same thing in San Diego.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
They had one thousand petitions in the first year, but
they only helped two hundred and fifty after two years,
two more years, three hundred and eighty four petitions, one
hundred and thirty four agreements for help. So his big
idea has been largely a flop. It hasn't changed what's
(25:29):
going on in the streets because you have to force people.
You pick them up off the streets, You make a
quick assessment, and you put them in some kind of
treatment center, and they do a further assessment and you
keep them there. That's the only thing that ultimili is
going to work. They're not oppressed, they're insane. Criminals are
(25:57):
not oppressed.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
They're evil and this violates Newsome and Bass's religion, so
they don't do anything about it. They can't.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
They took an oath to serve these people at our expense.
That's who they wake up in the morning worrying about.
That's why Cared Bass runs and screams hysterically at border
patrol agents adhering to the law and has nothing to
say to the homeowners of the Palisades who saw their
(26:36):
town burned down because of her negligence. She doesn't care
about normal people neither just Newsome. I don't think they
really care about these mental patients and homeless people either,
because these people live in disgusting, disgusting conditions, disgusting squalor.
(27:00):
But in their religion, those people are oppressed and they
have the right to do so.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
You're following all this, I'm telling you the truth. You'll see.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
We can all convene this time again in three months,
six months, a year, and this situation will be the
same because bassit Newsom will still revere all those categories
protected by their religion, and very few people in the
media will criticize them over it complain about it, because
(27:31):
again they go to the same church.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
More coming up.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
On from one to four and after four o'clock. You
listened to the podcast earlier, we talked about Trump losing
a decision in the district court. Charles Bryer said he
cannot use federal troops in Los Angeles to conduct law
enforcement operations. There're still marines here. Trump has been threatening
(28:01):
to use them to enforce criminal law. They were left
over from the Ice riots. Royal Oaks. ABC News legal
analysts coming on right after two o'clock to tell us
the likelihood of Trump winning in appeals court the way
he did last time when Briar said that Trump could
(28:22):
not be in charge of the National Guard here in California,
and Briar had said you can't, and the appeals court says, well,
yes you can, You're the president. So we'll see if
this next ruling goes down the same path.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
Hey, Deborah, are you there, I'm here, Can you hear me? Yeah?
I have not talked to you in weeks.
Speaker 4 (28:46):
I miss you.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
Well, you were you went off to Italy, I know,
and then you went off I know, and.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
I'm still off you. Nothing happened there.
Speaker 4 (29:00):
Can you believe it?
Speaker 2 (29:01):
And I know you're so disappointed.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
We were mildly disappointed, like if at least a volcano
had blown yep, or some kind of earthquake or I
you know, some outbreak.
Speaker 4 (29:14):
No, nothing, can you believe that?
Speaker 1 (29:18):
But I think the first time in five years, you
didn't cause a disaster in the country you were visiting.
Speaker 4 (29:23):
I know, I know.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
I feel so proud. Wow, so it's safe to travel
when you're traveling now, Yes.
Speaker 4 (29:32):
Yes, so some has gone and I think I'm okay.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
Well, it was getting spooky, it was.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
I think if you had caused something to happen in
Italy then and Trump would do this, he would have
just it probably would have banned you from from either
leaving or returning to the country.
Speaker 4 (29:51):
And I wouldn't blame him. Actually, yeah, when I got
off the plane, I was I was very happy that
I could say that I honestly did not cause any
chaos there.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
I know, because a war broke out just a couple
of years ago in Israel. The big war just days
after you were supposed to arrive.
Speaker 4 (30:13):
Yeah, well, yes, and days before.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
Or actually broke it days before you arrived, right, yes.
And then there was massive flooding in Dubai right before
you were supposed to land there. Yep, the queen you
killed the queen while you were in Scotland. She actually
died almost in front of you, that's yeah. And then
(30:36):
you got COVID Mexican. You started a COVID outbreak in Mexico. Yeah,
that's four. That's four major events.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
But Italy so nothing.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
You know, and lots of stuff goes on in Italy.
It's very unstable in a lot of ways. You know,
they've had I read the other day they've had like
sixty one governments in the last sixty nine years. So
I figured, well, at least the government will fall apart,
because it does anyway.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
Right.
Speaker 4 (31:00):
Well, you were also worried about earthquakes, right, you thought
there would be.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
A big earthquake. Earthquakes very common.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
Volcanoes, I mean one down in Sicily is always spewing lava,
I mean that's routine. I figured we were due for
Vesuvius again. Probably nothing, no, nothing.
Speaker 4 (31:17):
I had such a good time. It was so great,
just my daughter and I just you know, having some
girl time.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
It was.
Speaker 4 (31:25):
It was pretty special.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
What and Ita least clean for the most part, right.
Speaker 4 (31:30):
Uh, you know, I did see some homeless people in Florence.
I thought of you, I didn't yeah, I did, yes,
And Milan. I didn't stay in Milan, but we went
through so you know a few, yeah, just a few.
I mean I didn't study it. I didn't spend a
lot of time well Milan, I just kind of went
in and out. But I did notice that same thing
(31:51):
with Florence, but not not anything.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
Like what we have here. Nothing.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
Yeah, yeah, Because I mentioned before, I went through all
the Southeastern states Florida and uh, Georgia, North and South Carolina,
went to went to the bigger cities in each one,
you know, names you'd recognize, like Charleston and Savannah, and
and Charlotte, and very little Charlotte has a little bit,
a little bit just you know, a few confined to
(32:18):
a couple of blocks downtown Savannah zero, Charleston zero. And
Sarasota just has a few confined to a block or
two in the downtown area. And and and like in
Sarasota they have just older guys, uh you know, to
actually have like gray hair, they claim their vets. I
(32:40):
never believe anybody's a vet anymore. I think that they
figured out that's that's that's the money maker. That's the
sign to hold up and you'll make the most money.
Speaker 4 (32:49):
That was style, John, Sorry, that was your first time
in Savannah, right.
Speaker 2 (32:54):
Yeah, and you loved it. I was absolutely beautiful.
Speaker 1 (32:59):
We took you know, that historic walk that I knew
that you took some years ago. But you know what
what struck me is just the ease of everything, and
it was just everything is oh. Plus when you go
to the store, you know, they give you real plastic
uh plastic bags to use for your groceries and you
put your.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
Vegetables in real plastic bags. Yeah, you know. You go
for gas and they don't have some some complicated mechanism
to pump the gas in.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
You just pull the hose out and you put it.
You put it right into the car.
Speaker 4 (33:33):
Did you go to a pharmacy? Yes, I know. Did
you go to a pharmacy or anything?
Speaker 2 (33:37):
Locked up?
Speaker 1 (33:40):
Not? In three of the states there was Where did
I go? There was one place I went and they
had to had it locked up. Not in Sarasota. I
don't remember one of the one of the four. I
ran into one pharmacy where there was a few things
locked up, but for the most part, no, I mean
forest park. Every every annoying thing that I never heard
(34:02):
of in my life until over the last ten years
in California is not existing in these other states. It's
non existent. And you know what, They've got different kinds
of government. I'm sorry, Ron DeSantis. It's a thousand times
superior as a governor. The Gavin Usom o't care what
you say. You're wrong, you're out of your mind. Just
(34:23):
go jump off a bridge. A thousand times better as
a governor.
Speaker 4 (34:26):
I have to tell you real quick. I was in
the airport in France. My layover was in France. Well
that's a long story. I almost missed that flight, but
that was not my fault. And I heard some people
behind me talking about Mayor Bass and Governor Newsom, so
I was sort of eavesdropping. So then I turned around
and I said, well, I'm a news anchor in la
(34:47):
and I'm really interested in hearing what you guys have
to say. And these people, I think they live.
Speaker 3 (34:53):
Well.
Speaker 4 (34:53):
One of this one couple they live in the desert,
but I think that they were in your neck of
the woods, you know, on the west side. But oh
my gosh, what they were saying about Newsom and Bass,
it was unbelievable. I mean, you know, I was gone
for a week and a half. I didn't hear anything
about any of these people. But my ears put in Paris,
and I'm hearing these people talking about Newsom and Bass.
Speaker 1 (35:17):
So I thought you wanted to hear that they should
they should be denounced around the world. The whole world
should know just how horrible these two are. And I'm
just I'm going to say this until you start, you know,
shutting the radio off. Life is different in the other
forty nine states. We stand alone with this insanity alone.
(35:39):
It's not like this life and the rest of the
country is like you remember maybe ten, fifteen, twenty years ago,
and and back as far as your childhood, wherever your childhood.
Speaker 2 (35:52):
Was, it is. It's just normal.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
It's all the things that I never took, all the
things that took for granted, I can take for granted again.
Speaker 2 (36:04):
And it's such a shocking difference.
Speaker 1 (36:09):
And you know, if there was some magical way I
could take everybody and just transport transport them into these
other cities and states for just today, just for twenty
four hours. And if there was some kind of time machine.
Oh yeah, yeah, it's wonderful outside. Just more coming up.
We got morel oaks to talk about the latest Trump
(36:32):
fight in the district court regarding the Marines that are
still in town. Debora Mark is live in the KFI
