Speaker 1 (00:00):
Can't. I am six forty. You're listening to the John
Cobel podcast on the iHeartRadio app. Welcome to the whole world.
If you listen every day on the radio between one
and four but you miss parts, you can always get
the podcast on the iHeart app. It's posted after four o'clock,
so the radio show from one to four, the podcast
(00:22):
is the same as the radio show gets posted after
four o'clock. Today, we got a lot of good stuff.
We got two rounds of the Moistline, and also in
the three o'clock hour, we're gonna have Roger Bailey on.
Roger Bailey is an attorney for many of the Palisades
homeowners who got burned out in the fires. And Roger
(00:43):
says he's got proof that and I know this will
shock you. Gavin knew some lied about pre deploying a
one hundred and ten fire engines to the Palisades before
the fire started. That's what he claimed. In fact, we
have the clip from a podcast where Newsom said he
(01:05):
pre deployed National Guard trips to LA before the fires
broke out. Well, Roger Bailey has proof that Newsom is
full of it. He's a blatant pathological liar, and there
was nothing pre deployed by Newsom, Karen Bass, Kristen Crowley, nobody,
(01:26):
and had they, they probably could have curtailed that fire
pretty early and there would have only been a fraction
of the damage that everyone suffered. I'm starting to think
that all these people shouldn't they be charged with criminal negligence?
At what point if you are so bad and irresponsible,
like you fly to Ghana and then you know, thousands
(01:48):
of people lose their homes, aren't you responsible in some way?
Is there some criminal liability here? Maybe Karen Bass ought
to go to jail. Maybe we want to start thinking
in those terms. Talk more about this later, but first,
so this, Yeah, I didn't realize, but Joe Biden's out
(02:11):
of captivity. I thought they'd put him in arrest home
where he was quietly snoring and drilling on himself. But
he goes out and about and he was invited to
the National Bar Association Awards gala in Chicago. This is
a national network of black attorneys around the country. It's
(02:35):
like sixty seven sixty seven thousand members. It's the oldest
and largest global network of predominantly black American attorneys and judges,
and so they had their annual awards show in Chicago
last night and he was the guest speaker. This is
a you know, black tie affair, very formal. And see
(03:00):
the beauty of c SPAN covered this not that I
was watching, i heard this mentioned on a cable news
show this morning. And the beauty of c SPAN is
they don't do any editing at all. They run public
events as is. You know, they'll run speeches and appearances
(03:23):
by politicians, they'll run committee hearings. There is no edit editing,
there's no cutting away. You know, often with the networks,
if one of their favorite democratic politicians ends up in
some peculiar public situation, it's really easy to edit it out,
like like, for example, the way CBS edited out all
(03:45):
the nonsense answers that Kamala Harris gave in that infamous
interview that Trump sued them over. So they're good at editing,
they're good at cutting away, they're good at ignoring. But
c SPAN presents things exactly as it is. So after
hearing this incident referenced, went to the c SPAN online
(04:11):
channel and they had the entire speech. But what's important
is the few minutes leading up to the speech, Joe
Biden had to be introduced three times, three times because
the first two times he never showed up on stage.
(04:34):
Now they had a big crowd. There was an MC introduced.
In fact, two different mcs introduced him because in between
they had to they had to fill time until I
don't know where he was. Maybe he was locked in
a closet, stuck in the men's room. Maybe he was
passed out and they were trying to revive him. So
we're gonna play you two clips here. First clip is
(04:57):
the first time he gets introduced. But then National Bar
Association at the National Bar Association Awards gala, he doesn't
come out, and the speaker then waits a minute in
nine seconds, well, finally he gives up and introduces somebody
else to play. Cut too, and.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
At this time, please join me in welcoming the Honorable
Joseph R.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Biden Jr.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
The forty sixth President of the United States.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Now the camera pans over to the left of the
stage where there's a curtain and there's some people standing
and they're waiting to greet Biden. Hear the band playing
in the background, people applauding. Now the plus Peter Dowt.
(05:50):
The band is still playing, and everybody's staring to the
left of the stage where the curtain is parted open
and you could see nothing but black behind it. So
we're waiting for him to come out of the shadows.
Everyone's staring at here's some muttering going on. Must be
(06:14):
very uncomfortable. MC's looking around occasionally. Eventually they cut back
to him and he's looking he's looking left, he's looking right.
Music's still playing. They're still waiting on Joe. Here. It's
a whole minute in nine seconds.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Hold, ladies and gentlemen, please join me in welcoming the
eighty second President of the National Bar Association, Wiley Adams.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
But wait, there's more. So Wiley Adams comes on the stage,
and then another guy comes on the stage, and that
that guy's supposed to introduce Joe Biden again and again
Biden doesn't come out, and the band plays and everything
goes silent, and then for a third time Biden is introduced.
(07:15):
So we'll play cut number three here, All right, the
moment you've all been waiting for.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Please welcome the Honorable Joseph R. Biden Junior, the forty
six President of the United States.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Same thing. Camera cuts to the left of the stage.
There's a curtain there, it's partly open. There's nothing but
a black backdrop behind it.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
Come on, y'all can clap louder than that. You show
him all the love that he deserves. The forty six
the President of the United States, mister Joseph oh mad
and Junior third time, and he brought his granddaughters to
(08:12):
celebrate wood.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
They're holding him, they're guiding him to the podium. I
couldn't find anybody reporting on this except the Fox Business
Channel had had a clip of it this morning. I'm
looking online. Here is this is what they cover up?
I mean, he's remember he was supposed to be president
(08:37):
right now and for three and a half more years.
Three times he was introduced, which is a record, and
they never explained where he was, what was he doing?
More coming up.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI Am
six forty.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
We're on every day from one till four, after four
o'clock John Cobelt Show on Demand. We're playing two runs
of the Moist Line after three o'clock three twenty three
point fifty roughly or whenever we get to it. Now
first segment, we played you audio from last night. The
National Bar Association, which is a group of black lawyers
(09:19):
and judges. It covers all fifty states and they have
an annual awards gala this year in Chicago, and Biden
was the guest speaker, and he had to be introduced
to three times because we don't know why why he
didn't come out the first two times. And it was
a bad day for anybody on the Democratic side who
(09:42):
would like to move on to a new era, because
not only was Biden wandering lost somewhere in the battles
and whatever hotel they were doing that gaale ad. But
at the same time, Kamala Harris was on television. She's
got a book out and the book actually has words
in it, which kind of surprised me. I don't know
(10:04):
if they're her words or who who ghost wrote it,
or what the deal is, but she's got a book out,
so now she's selling it. And she went on Stephen
Colbert Late Night Show on CBS, which is a canceled show.
It's going off the air in May because Colbert's audience
is really tiny and he loses the network forty million
(10:27):
dollars a year, which I've never heard of in my life.
I've never Apparently, he lost forty million a year for
the last four years. Now, you know, we've all worked
here for a big radio company for a long time,
and the one thing that I always tell people is
if you're making money, you know you'll keep working. When
(10:47):
you stop making money for the company, then you're not working.
So this is the first time in my life I've
ever heard of a guy who not only was losing
the company money, but losing one hundred and sixty million
dollars for the company, and yet he was still going,
which makes me think dark thoughts. But not now. Anyway,
(11:09):
he still has a show and most of his limited
audience would actually like to hear from Kamala Harris. Now
we have a number of clips, but for this segment,
I want to play Eric. I want to play like eleven, twelve,
and thirteen. It's a series of questions that Kamala Harris
(11:29):
dodges and Colbert at times tries to push her to answer,
but she doesn't want to. So let's start with cut
eleven and Colbert asking Kamala, at what point did anybody
tell you to get ready that Biden's going to drop
out when.
Speaker 5 (11:48):
You saw Joe Biden and walk on stage of that
debate and it did not go well. Spoiler, it did
not go well in that debate. There therefore you became
the candidate. At what point in the same months that
followed that did people start saying you might need to
be prepared for this.
Speaker 6 (12:06):
Let me say something about Joe Biden. I have an
incredible amount of respect for him, and I think that
way that we should be thinking about where we are
right now is to remember that we had a president
of the United States who believed.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
In the rule of law.
Speaker 6 (12:32):
That wasn't the question in the importance of aspiring to
have integrity and to do the work on behalf of
the people, and that's where I'll lead got I.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Listened to the CEOs in the audience, that wasn't the question.
Speaker 5 (12:48):
I think those are a fine sentiment and all true.
I'm just curious, did people say to you you should
be prepared for this?
Speaker 6 (12:56):
There were some who did, but I listen, it was
it was Joe's decision, and he made that decision.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
She can't be real. She just can't be real. It's
Joe's decision, and he made that decision. Well, that was illuminating,
that was enlightened. Good lord, what is right? She sounds
stoned again to me? The way she slurs her words
(13:29):
like this, She's got a certain quality to the way
she pronounces her words. That that she's that must have
been a lot of gummies. I mean, gummies are the
thing now, not brownies anymore.
Speaker 7 (13:41):
Gummies.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Gummies, right, and they're just they're just like little candies. Yes, Now,
how how many do you take? Well?
Speaker 8 (13:50):
I started off taking a half of a ten milligram. Yeah,
so that's five milligrams and uh then I worked my
way up to the full. But warnings, I do it
to help me sleep, and I do it maybe once
a week, once a week, if that right, Not before newscasts, definitely,
(14:12):
not before we've noticed, right, I would be falling asleep
because I take the ones to help me. Well, I'm
already yawn beating you to that.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
All right, let's take a cut number Web twelve here,
Colbert asked Harris, what was it like having people ask
her to differentiate.
Speaker 5 (14:33):
Yourself from So then you go to run for president
yourself and people are asking you to separate yourself from
Joe Biden. People are asking Ovre, and I was one
of them. What's different between you and Joe Biden? Now
that must have been difficult because you have to differentiate
yourself as a candidate and yet you respect this man
who you're still working for at the same time.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
What was that like to navigate?
Speaker 6 (14:53):
I talk about that extensively in the book No Anything,
the chapter with Doug. No, it's it's because and I
and I say that, because you're raising something that you
and I both know is requires a lot of a
lot more time than we probably have right now to
talk about a little.
Speaker 5 (15:11):
Hurry awe, in a hurry, guys.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
They'll keep you on the whole or wait, stop a second.
There's nothing more infuriating then to bring someone on who's
promoting a book, and then every time I ask him
a question, it's like, well, that's in my book.
Speaker 7 (15:29):
Well, because they want you to buy the book, but.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
You've got to give something if you're going to waste my.
Speaker 7 (15:33):
Turn a little tease. She gave it a little not.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
That was barely a tease. The whole twenty eight minutes
was it's in the book. She wasn't even showing a
knee on that. That's there's there's nothing at all. There
play some more away hurry are we in a hurry? Guys?
Speaker 6 (15:52):
Thanks everyone it I feel very.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Strongly that I mean this what she sounds like to
me if you were shying that so it could it
be sharp nay like if you mix shardnay with gummies?
What happens?
Speaker 8 (16:14):
Well, one time I took a gummy and before I
took a gummy, I had what did I have?
Speaker 7 (16:20):
I think I had Sangria san Gria.
Speaker 8 (16:24):
Yeah, and uh, I fainted, fainted almost My husband was
able to grab me just before I hit the floor.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
You could killed yourself.
Speaker 5 (16:36):
I know.
Speaker 8 (16:37):
Yeah, that was a dumb thing, but I gave there
was plenty of time. There was plenty of time after
we were at dinner and I had the sangria and
we were watching TV. And then I took the gummy
like an hour or an hour and a half later
to help me sleep. And then I got up and
I was walking and and to be fair, I think
I took a whole gummy when I should have only
(16:59):
taken a half.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Saturday night Endver's house.
Speaker 7 (17:01):
Oh it's so exciting.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Look for her on the floor. Oh you're really informative today.
That's what she sounds like to me, she sounds like
somebody who had some wine and a gummy at the
same time. Now continue this.
Speaker 6 (17:23):
I feel very strongly that. I mean, it's an instinct
of mine to be someone who does not participate in
piling on. And I was not going to pile on,
and I was going.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
To do that. They forgotten the question. It was, what
was it like having people ask you to differentiate yourself
from Biden? So well, you don't have to pile on.
You could just explain you're running for office, you want
to be president. How's your presidency different in policies? Let's say,
all right, does that piling on? That's explaining who you
are for the people who hated Trump but didn't want
(18:03):
more of Biden, you're the new thing. She couldn't do that.
We'll continue with this question. Just take a while to
go through here between all the breaks we have to
take to go to the expert the expert desk.
Speaker 7 (18:19):
You know, I don't make the rules.
Speaker 8 (18:21):
The rules the rules of when the newscast happened, I know,
and the timing of it.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
I understand. No, it's you know, it's me not being
able to fit one thought into one.
Speaker 7 (18:30):
Segment, it's you.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
It's your fault. I understand. I know it's my fault.
Those are the first words I hear every day when
I wake up, and then the last and the last
thing I hear before I got a bed at night,
it's your fault. In fact, when I come here and
I talk to you, I know I got the same thing.
So I'm well aware it's my fat.
Speaker 7 (18:47):
I just want to make you feel like you're at home.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
All the time when you're I do you make me
feel very comfortable. It's going to be on my gravestone.
It was my fault. That's what it's going to say.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI A
six forty.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
We're on from one until four and after four o'clock
the podcast John Cobelt's Show on demand. You can follow
us on social media at John Cobelt Radio at John
Cobelt Radio. All Right, we were in the middle of
playing Kamala Harris and Steven Colbert last night. You know,
we played Joe Biden being introduced three times at an
(19:27):
event in Chicago because the first two times he never
showed up on stage, so they tried a third time
and then we got Kamala Harris and Colbert has asked
her a series of questions and she asks he asked
the questions two or three times, and she doesn't answer well.
I mean, she makes sound, she makee noise comes out
of her mouth, but she doesn't actually answer the question.
(19:50):
And they're straightforward and they're friendly. You know, he loves her,
or at least pretends to on camera. All Right, so
let's play the last twenty seconds or so of Colbert
once again asking Kamala what's it like, because she's pushing
the book, what's it like when people ask her? When
they were asking her to differentiate herself from Biden.
Speaker 6 (20:10):
I feel very strongly that. I mean, it's an instinct
of mine to be someone who does not participate in
piling on. And I was not going to pile on.
And I just wasn't going to do that. And there
was a lot of piling on at that time, and
(20:33):
I wasn't going to participate in that.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
She managed to say the same thing three times in
one sentence. She does that a lot the other clips
we played over the years. She circles around and she
fixates on a phrase and she just repeats the phrase
it's like she has phrase one, phrase two, phrase one,
phrase two, phrase two. With the phrase one, it's almost
like some kind of musical sequin and thing she does
(21:01):
and she goes in a complete circle. All right, here's
kind of a thirteen. Colbert asks Conla Harris, Oh, I
heard this one? This is good? Who's the leader of
the Democratic Party.
Speaker 5 (21:10):
I got to ask you something before you go You're
no longer you know, you're not running for office right now,
you're stepping away from that life right now. Who's leaving
the Democratic Party? I'm just curious.
Speaker 6 (21:20):
There are lots of leaders, and it was generally.
Speaker 5 (21:23):
A leader of the Democratic Party, you know, like, oh,
that's the leader Donatory Party?
Speaker 1 (21:27):
Who comes to mind?
Speaker 6 (21:29):
I think there are a lot of I'm not going
to go through names because then I'm going to leave
somebody out and then I'm going to hear about it.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
It's a pre prosterous answer right there. The definition of
the leader is the one person at the head of
the pack who's telling everybody what to do, pointing what direction,
what the plan is. That is leader is not a
lot of people. A lot of people are the followers,
but leader is singular. You can't have two leaders, because
(21:58):
then the pack half of the is this way and
half of the goes that way. You ever see a
bunch of coyotes running together, there's one lead coyote. Ever
see birds flying in the sky, there's a lead bird.
You know they formed that that v That's the way
it is. It's nature. You gotta have one person who's
got the the the energy or the charisma or the
(22:20):
intellectual theft that the other birds, the other coyotes that
you know, physical strength, whatever it is. And you realize
this guy, this guy is stronger and smarter, and he's
balked this through better, and so I'm gonna follow him
or her. You can't say there's a lot of leaders.
You can't just say they're no leaders. Then there's either
(22:43):
a leader or no leaders. There's no such thing as
a lot of leaders. That's just a complete nonsense answer.
Play some more.
Speaker 6 (22:49):
I'm not gonna go through names because then I'm gonna
leave somebody out and then I'm gonna hear about it.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
But let me just qush, let me sit there. If
you forget their name, then clearly they're not a leader.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
Right.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
You asked, who's the leader of the Republican party, you'd
say Trump, even when he wasn't president, it was Trump.
Nobody said, well, I'm not going to say because I
might leave somebody else. You're not going to leave Trump's
name out. You're gonna remember him because he's the leader.
He's a huge force. Barack Obama right when he was president,
(23:21):
he was the leader, and in fact, for some time
after Trump replaced Obama, Obama still considered the leader. Good Lord,
is there any more to this?
Speaker 6 (23:35):
Let me say this. I think it is a mistake
for us who want to figure out how to get
out and through this and get out of this.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Stop that wait, wait that last line again.
Speaker 6 (23:51):
Let me say this. I think it is a mistake
for us who want to figure out how to get
out through.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
This, want to figure out how to get out and
to get out of it. She got three outs in there, right.
Speaker 6 (24:07):
Again, for us who want to figure out out how
to get out and through this and get.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
Out of it and get out of it.
Speaker 6 (24:16):
To put it on the shoulders of any one person,
it's really on all of our.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
Shoulders, it really is. That's how things run. You gotta
have one CEO, you gotta have one president. Well, you
have one dictator. You can't have a committee of dictators.
What's wrong with her? We're all in this to get
We're all no that that's that's communism. Okay, we're all
(24:41):
supposed to be the same. Even the communists have a
leader like.
Speaker 7 (24:45):
You, John, you're the leader of the show. You're the
you're that han show.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Well we're in sad shape. Then I'd be like that
could be true. But then you know, sometimes you have
bad sad leaders. But there's only one person, right, right,
only be like one host here, there's one news anchor. Correct, Yes,
we have one board operator, yes, technical director.
Speaker 7 (25:09):
Excuse me, and one producer.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
We can't have three of you, three of me, five rays,
six raise?
Speaker 7 (25:18):
Can you imagine that.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
It's not legal? All right? Were coming up?
Speaker 4 (25:23):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
We're doing the Moistline at three twenty and three point
fifty today and coming up after two o'clock. Stevie Camarata
is an immigration expert. We've had it on the show
many times. She has a peace out today in the
National Review that according to his analysis, he thinks a
million illegal aliens have left the country, most of them
(25:50):
self deported. I'll explain that to you, which is the
real reason that you see some of the more public
demonstrations of force, you know, the ones that spread fear. Yeah,
that was the idea to make people afraid that they're
going to get caught and be dragged off. So why
(26:11):
don't you leave on your own? And Christy nom has
run a million TV and radio commercials, many of them
have been here on KFI saying well, here's how you
do it. You leave quietly, we'll give you a thousand dollars,
and then you sign up to come back and we'll
let you in down the road. As long as you
follow the procedure, then it'll look good for you. Well,
(26:32):
there is about a million people who've taken her up
on that. And because LA has a proportionate amount of
illegal aliens, and because we're so close to the border,
I'm sure there's a lot fewer people living in LA
right now. My opinion, and I know it's summertime, is
the traffic's lighter. That's what I see. That's what I think.
Speaker 8 (26:56):
Yeah, it is definitely. Yeah, it takes me maybe ten
minutes less to get home.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
Every Yeah, me too. It's been consistent now ever since,
ever since the raids that they had, like the first
five months of the year. You know, they were doing
immigration enforcement around the country, but it wasn't in La
and it wasn't anything that grabbed news. If they weren't
doing it, it was quiet. And as soon as they did
some of the big raids and we had the riots
(27:23):
and then we had the MacArthur Park incident, a lot
of people decided, all right, okay, jig is up. They're
onto the scab and I think that's a smart thing
to do, because she's offering one thousand dollars and you'll
be on the list to come back. That's what I
would do. I could never ever imagine living in a
place illegally, especially when the new leader has said, we're
(27:47):
not putting up with this anymore. And I guess a
lot of people just didn't believe it because nobody had
ever enforced the law for the last I don't know,
I don't know how long it's been since re enforced
immigration law, both at the border and and the interior,
and the interior hardly ever so. And there was a story,
(28:09):
there was a story in the La Times, and I'll
just give you a piece of it right now. California's
economy is already getting hit by immigration raids. The number
of people reporting to work in the private sector in
California has decreased by over three percent ever since the
(28:31):
big crackdowns, and some neighborhoods are ghost towns. Some businesses
have shut down, there's few customers. And this this idea
that we need illegal aliens or we don't have a
strong economy is absurd because these people work for slave ages,
(28:51):
slave wages. If you if you have a business predicated
on plant paying slo wages, well you're breaking the law.
Your business itself is illegal. Your whole business model is wrong.
(29:13):
There are plenty of people unemployed in America. The unemployment
rate is four percent, which is not a high unemployment rate,
but that still represents millions of people. And one of
the loopholes that they're closing with the big beautiful bill
that they passed in Congress is if you're on Medicaid,
(29:34):
which is government medical care for poor people. If you're
on Medicaid, you have to work, maybe twenty hours a week,
but you have to work. And there are millions. I
think there are seven million men working age. I think
they look at it ages eighteen to fifty four. Seven
(29:58):
million who could work don't and are getting free health
care from all of us who do work. Now, I
don't see why these people can't be forced to do
the jobs that the illegal aliens were doing. They also
should get full pay whatever the market bears. No more
(30:18):
slave wages. And if a business can't run their business
without paying slave wages, then they should go out of business.
I don't understand why we have to have all these
distortions with illegal aliens working. They get slave labor wages,
then they can't afford anything. So we've got to give
them all kinds of subsidies. We've got to give them
free food, we got to give them from schooling, free
(30:38):
medical care. Well, they wouldn't need all that if they
got a proper wage. And why are these companies getting
such a break for paying slave wages? And you know something,
when you talk to some of these pro illegal alien advocates,
this isn't the point where they go quiet and just
end up calling you a xenophob or a racist or
something because they don't have an answer to it. There's
(31:00):
no reason the American tax paper taxpayer has to subsidize
companies who play, who pay slave wages. Why do we
have to do that? And that's what in effect we're doing.
If we're paying seven million people's Medicare bills, Medicaid bills
and they don't want to work when there could be
(31:23):
millions of jobs available but they're taken by illegal aliens,
what are we doing here? So we'll read the Stephen
Cameraata piece in the National Review today about how he
figures up close to a million illegal aliens have already
left the country and there's more to follow that's coming
