Speaker 1 (00:00):
Can't I am six forty you're listening to the John
Cobelt podcast on the iHeartRadio app John Cobelt Show on
demand that the podcast same as the radio show. Today,
the Los Angeles City Council actually did something right. They
voted eight to five to oppose a Senate bill. Be
(00:22):
familiar with this. If you live in this single family
house in California, they're coming to get you. Little by little,
They're coming to get you. They want to ruin your
neighborhood Senate Bill seventy nine. It would allow people, well
developers to buy homes and set up apartment buildings with
(00:46):
If you're within a half mile of a heavy rail
or a subway station, they could put six story apartment
buildings in your residential neighborhood. If you're near a rapid
bus line, they could put up a four story apartment building.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
This affects thousands of lots.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Will be right across your street, right next door, maybe
on both sides.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
This is from the bowels of Scott Wiener.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
He's a Democratic state senator from San Francisco at ultra progressive.
Hates single family homes, hates them, hates cars, hates pools,
I'm not overstating this hates everything about ab about suburban life.
(01:36):
Hates your middle class family existence. He hates your wife,
he hates your husband, he hates your children, he hates
your lawn, he hates your pets.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
I don't know why. I don't know what happened in
his childhood.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
But Tracy Park and John Lee produced up a resolution
to oppose this, and I got an eight to five vote.
We were going to talk with Jamie Page has been
covering this closely from the West Side Current, which is
a great news site. Even if you don't live on
the West Side of LA, you ought to read it
because they they jump on these kind of stories which
(02:18):
not only affect LA, but affect the whole the whole state,
because Wiener's bill would effect everywhere.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Welcome. How are you, Jamie.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
I'm good, John, how about you?
Speaker 2 (02:29):
I'm good.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
I was.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
I was kind of surprised that this passed, that there
were at least eight eight city council people who opposed it.
Talk about how how this whole resolution debate went.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
Yeah, it was.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
It was not going to be heard that we heard
early on today that the council President, Harris Dawson was
actually going to hold the resolution, which means it would
not have gone for a vote today, and it it
is supposed to go through the Assembly tomorrow, so that
means that hold would have stopped us from presenting our
(03:06):
resolution to the Assembly. Nineteen councils, our local councils opposed this.
As you said, Council number Lee. It was a lot
of back and forth today and we were, you know,
it was unclear of what direction this was going to take.
But ultimately an eight to five vote means that this
resolution moves the sacramento.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Right, because eight is a majority, it's a bare majority
because there's fifteen members. The way a councilwoman Monica Rodriguez
writes or what she said, is she said this could
allow up to seven story buildings in areas where transit
lines are still years away. So really, if somebody's in
(03:51):
a house and the neighbor sells, a developer comes, they
can put up a seven story apartment building with how
many units in it?
Speaker 3 (04:02):
Good question about.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
The units, but drew a really important point before is
there can be multiples of these as well, too, right,
which can drastically change the makeup of a neighborhood. And
enough high fire danger areas, which is a large concern.
Building these apartment buildings and looking for an exit route
can become a problem in areas like Monica Rodriguez's comes
(04:25):
from the Tracy Park Pacific Palisades. These are really key
details that have not been flushed out or as they say,
baked out in the Assembly. I think also worth pointing out.
And it gets a little bit too much into the details.
But tomorrow's vote in the Assembly could have killed this
bill if they don't move it forward.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
So if the.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
Assembly voted not to move it out of where it
is right now, it wouldn't have moved forward. And I
think that's part of why Harris Dawson wanted to stall
today's resolution.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Votes for the opposition gets too organized here because this
will produce a lot of negative stories. And most people
don't know this thing even exists. I mean, we've talked
about it a number of times.
Speaker 5 (05:10):
But and.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
There's also no requirement for parking. So if you get
a seven story apartment building and I don't people just
don't believe this, then they can't imagine it.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
Right.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
You might have been living on in your neighborhood for
fifty years and you can't imagine suddenly a big apartment
building next to you without adequate parking. But yeah, that's
exactly what will happen, and there could be another one
across the street from you. There is there a limit
on how many can be built on a block?
Speaker 4 (05:41):
No, there's not a limit, And that's part of what
part of the problem with this is there's not a
lot of thinking through how high, how many units that
they're going to put on, and there's actually not only is.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
There not a limit that's in there right now, there's
a lot of incentives for developers to build.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
The closer to the to where it is, the more
money you get for a project. But so we could
see some really neighborhoods that will identify if this state
build passes.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
And this is their thinking.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
You may wonder, what do these single family neighborhoods, Why
do they Why are they going to be victims just
because there's a bus line within a half mile. I'll
give you an example where I live. I'm within a
half a mile of Sunset Bulevard. Now i can't see
Sunset Boulevard, I can't hear it. It might as well
be on the moon. I'm far enough away where Sunset
Boulevard is not does not impact my life, but there's
(06:39):
there's bus routes on it. And because I likely fall
within that half mile zone just because there's a rapid
bus line on Sunset Boulevard, then yeah, many of my
neighbors could build these apartment buildings. God knows what the
developers will pay them for the right to use the lot,
if they're going to make that kind of money back.
(07:00):
And suddenly I'm look and a certain amount is going
to be I'm sure a certain number of the units
will be forced to be low income housing. And who
doesn't want that in their middle class neighborhood?
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Right? Well? Almost housing state law too, but that's already
baked into the parts.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
Of state laws already where you have to have a
certain amount of units or else you pay a fee
or fine if you don't. So yeah, we've already crossed
that bridge.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Right I know.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
So it's going to if they allow this in residential areas,
you will get low income housing people in your neighborhood.
And the idea is that the idea is you have
all this this high density housing and there's a bus
line down the block, and then you use the bus line.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
To take you to work.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
You see, they pack you in apartment buildings and then
they pack you into buses because they hate your single
family home and they hate your single family car. And
so you just follow the communist way, dense housing bus lines,
and you live the way they want you to live.
Speaker 4 (08:06):
And if this passes, it also takes away any of
this of the local voice, so our city council won't
be able to weigh in on these projects.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Is that right? So the city council would be stripped
of any power.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
Yes, that's yes. That's the biggest part of today's vote
was that this would be a state wide bill, so
if it passes, it essentially eliminates any local power that
we have.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
Oh my god, this is horrific. And it actually got
five votes. And next segment, I'm going to tell everybody
who the five are. You can guess if you follow
these things. It's it's the socialist contingent, all right, Jamie.
So now the votes in the Assembly you hear tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
Well, so it's a procedural process. But what it happens
is it goes through it's on like our consent sort
of like our consent calendar. But what happens in this
process is it can be pulled much like it did
today and then talked about, or it can move forward.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
If it doesn't get pulled and it gets killed tomorrow,
as I understand it, then it's no longer moving forward.
This bill has been it's tightly gone through. It went
through the Senate, I believe, on the twenty one votes that.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
It needed or the last committee.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
Sorry, so it's barely squeaking through. If it doesn't tomorrow,
it could be done or else.
Speaker 4 (09:32):
If not, it goes to vote on August twenty ninth.
I believe that's what I've been told.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
The processes, yeah, yeah, and everything could change at the
moment's notice. All right, thank you very much, Jamie Page,
of course, all right, Westside Current, Westside Current dot com.
I'll give you the names of these idiot council people,
I mean, these destructive buffoons, same people over and over
again when we come back.
Speaker 6 (09:58):
You're listening to on co Belt on demand from kf
I A M six forty.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
We have never had so many council people in Los
Angeles who absolutely hate the American way of life, despise it.
They are so they're not even Democrats. They're they're democratic socialists.
This is the fringe progressive element that has won a
(10:27):
number of seats here in Los Angeles and in other
cities as well. The things you hear about are going
on in Chicago and New York, Washington, d C. It's
very similar. It's it's it's extreme progressiveness. It's insanity, really.
And this particular vote was about a resolution so that
(10:53):
the City Council Los Angeles formerly opposes a Senate bill
coming out of Sacramento known as Senate Bill seventy nine,
excreted from deep within the bowels of Scott Wiener, and
it means that somebody could sell their their single family
(11:14):
home in a normal residential neighborhood and it can be
replaced by up to a seven story apartment building with
no provisions for parking, no provisions for how that's going
to affect escape routes in fire areas. Part of the
(11:35):
apartment building will be low income housing. And you could
see what this would do to ordinary, quiet, middle class,
upper middle class neighborhoods. And there's no limit on how many,
and if you're inside a half mile zone where there's
(11:56):
a rail line or a bus line, even if it's
just a proposed rail or bus line that'll happen, and
of course it'll destroy your property value, which is what
they want. They want you to panic and sell your homes.
And so they could put up one hundred of these
in your neighborhood and turn it from a nice middle
class neighborhood into some chaos zone with all the low
(12:20):
income beeple because they think our system is corrupt, hateful races,
the whole thing. No, we have no right to own property,
no right to profit from our property, no right to
a peaceful life, no right to be enjoying things like
(12:41):
our car, water, no pools, no lawns. I'm serious about this.
So the idea is to cram you into this housing project,
these apartment buildings, and then force you to walk down
the street and take a.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
Bus to work.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
These progressives always want to load you on a bus
or a train, and they want you to live in
a little tiny box. Here are the people who support this,
Nitia Ramen, who is one of the great illegal alien
(13:25):
homeless enablers. She really loves homeless people. She wouldn't even
put a stop to people selling guns and drugs from
tents in front of elementary schools, nit the Oramen Hugo
Soda Martinez constantly screaming about illegal aliens and homeless people,
(13:49):
current price. I believe he has eight to ten tell
any charges against him for corruption, and then unices Hernandez,
who has a lot of intellectual challenges. She's another Democratic socialist.
(14:15):
And then one more dumbest man on the planet, Marquise
Harris Dawson. He's somehow the city council president. I don't
think he could talk and tie his shoelace. At the
same time, he was the one who's supposedly in charge
of the city. When Karen Bass ran off to Ghana,
he was supposed to be in charge. There is no
(14:36):
record that he said or did anything to prepare the
city for the windstorm and the fire. There is no
record that he responded in any meaningful way to the
windstorm and the fire. He is a complete dud. The
only time he's done anything that made the news is
when he banned people from cursing and hurling.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Uh insults, using bad language. That's it.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Just suppressing speech. That's the only and uh here's some quotes.
Hugo Soda Martinez says that we have not been responsible
with our efforts to really spur housing growth. So he
wants your neighborhoods destroyed to put up seven story apartment buildings.
(15:41):
At least there's at least there were eight. You know
you need eight, because there's there's there's fifteen. There's fifteen
council people, so at worst it would have lost eight
to seven. I guess two of the council people didn't
show up for work. I don't know, maybe they were
in jail. I can't keep track of all this, but
it's a third of the city council that would like,
(16:02):
really honestly, they would like to bulldoze your homes, get
rid of your your stupid kids, your stupid pets, fill
your swimming pools, junk your cars, and just march you
into the nearest bus. That's the life that you'll have
if they ever get a majority on the city council.
(16:25):
Believe me, Karen Dass probably three quarters of the way
they are herself.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
She just keeps quiet. More coming up.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
Oh, we're gonna talk to We're going to talk next about.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
I know what we're gonna do. I just you'll have
to wait.
Speaker 6 (16:44):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM sixty.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Karen Dass, if you remember, a couple of weeks ago,
just lost her mind because I did a ad. They
caught one guy who's delivering strawberries, and they did it
outside of a newsome event and it was down the
block from from Basst's office. And she got up started
(17:12):
running as fast as her short little legs could carry
her so she could scream at ICE agents. And you
know what's funny is these hack left wing progressive writers.
Every time she screams at ICE agents, it's like, Oh,
she's back, She's turning the tide. You know, she's found
her footing, she's making a comeback.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
I drive through the Palisades every day. I don't know
about that, but I guess when you got your head
up the ass of the Democratic the local Democratic Party,
and they just but you know they're journalists. Anyway, here's
another crazy person. Well, actually, let's set it up with
(17:55):
playing crazy Karen Bass, just to remind people, why would.
Speaker 5 (17:59):
You do that?
Speaker 7 (18:00):
Unbelievably disrespectful. It's a provocative act. They're talking about disorder
in Los Angeles, and they are the source of the
disorder in Los Angeles right now, this is just completely unacceptable.
This is a administration, this is a customs and border
patrol that has gone amok. This absolutely has to sup
(18:21):
There was no danger here, there was no need to
detain anyone here, and there was certainly no need to
have a provocative act right here where the governor is
having a threast company.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
One one strawberry salesman, one strawberry delivery man. She starts screaming,
she's so offended. Well, Boston Mayor Michelle wou another progressive
right down to her bone marrow. She was yelling about
the Attorney General Pam Bondi, the Trump administration immigration letter rip.
Speaker 8 (18:56):
The US Attorney General asked for a response by today.
So here it is. Here is our response. Stop attacking
our cities to hide your administration's failures.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
Stop.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
She's talking about ice coming in and rounding up illegal
aliens that Biden allowed over the border.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
Hey, they don't have to make sense. Continue.
Speaker 8 (19:31):
Unlike the Trump administration, Boston follows the law, and Boston
will not back down from who we are and what
we stand for.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
Stop a second, will you know how many legal alien
raids they've done? Fox Bill mallusion has been embedded in
some of these raids. They went to Boston and they
found some of the worst characters imaginable that we're running
loose in the shall lose city, including people who rape children,
illegal aliens of rape children.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
They were running free. But continue with the self righteousness.
Speaker 8 (20:09):
We will not back away from our community that has
made us the safest major city in the country and
a leading example of why cities around the country make
this country safer, healthier, and more prosperous for all Americans.
To all the federal officials attacking communities that embody diversity, creativity,
(20:33):
and moral clarity. We Mayor said this in DC nearly
six months ago, and I'll say it again today. You
are wrong on the law, and you are wrong on
safety woo. Most of all, you are wrong on cities.
(20:54):
The cities that live in your minds are totally foreign
to the residents living in our cities. And we are
picking up the pieces of your failures to deliver on
your promises.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
She's screaming because the Trump administration Pam Bondi sent letters
to all these sanctuary cities saying you're gonna lose federal
money if you don't start cooperating with ICE, and that's
what set her off. She's not going to get the
free handouts from the federal government anymore because she won't
(21:30):
go along.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
With federal law that says the administration has the right.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
To deport every illegal alien inside our borders. Will and
thirty one other mayors got letters from Bondi saying you have.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
To immediately.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
Identify the initiatives you're taking to eliminate any laws, policies,
and practices that impede federal immigration enforcement. Other words, get
rid of your sanctuary city nonsense. There is no such
thing in American law or in the constitution. There is
no such thing as sanctuary, no matter what how loud
(22:14):
you scream. You got Karen Baths having a breakdown. By
the way, you know when there were ten thousand homes
bringing in the Palisades, did you hear now? Given here,
Boston has created something called the Trust Act, which prevents
local police from detaining immigrants to be deported by ICE
(22:36):
unless there's a criminal warrant issued for their arrest. And
Pambody sent the letters saying, well, we're not putting up
with this, and they're threatening to cut off money, and
they should if you don't want to play along with
the federal government enforcing federal law, then you don't need
(22:56):
federal money. You want to declare yourself a sanctuary. You
could be a sanctuary from federal federal funding. How's that,
there's your sanctuary. You don't want to you you don't
want to help follow federal law, then you don't get
federal tax money anymore. They all institutions. You don't want
to give Jewish students their civil rights, Well, we don't
(23:16):
have to give you money. You don't want to follow
federal immigration lots, All right, we'll do it ourselves. But
you don't get federal money. Oh do they get indignant
and self righteous?
Speaker 2 (23:26):
Don't they? Huh? And it's easy to do.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
When you're at a podium and you have I do
you know city employees clapping and applauding, you probably feel
like a rule in the world. Well, she's not. You
think Tom Homan is scared of uh Michelle Wu. He's
not scared of Karen Bass either. These are you know,
little people who shot a lot stamp their feet, but
(23:53):
they have no power. And it'd be great if all
these cities were cut off, and you'll see just like
the universe. These are capitulating left and right because it's
billions of dollars and the universities wanted so now they
got to at least play pretend and be nice to
the Jewish students and try not to chase them around
(24:14):
and beat them up anymore. All those Palestinian protester thugs
that had free reign to abuse the Jewish kids can't
do it anymore, or you lose.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
The federal mind. All right, we'll continue coming up.
Speaker 6 (24:27):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
Foll us and social media. John Cobelt Radio at John
Cobelt Radio are trying to get to thirty five thousand followers.
All right, Mayhem in the air and mayhem in the
airline lounge. Story number one a Boeing seven to fifty seven.
(24:53):
This is Condor Airlines. They were carrying almost three hundred
people from Greece Germany. Suddenly flames started flaring out of
the right wing of the plane and they had to
make an emergency landing. Now, the malfunction was described as
(25:16):
a turbine airflow disruption, a chemical reaction that happened inside
the combustion chamber and again this is a Boeing plane.
According to one passenger, the power went out for a
few seconds. We realized we were no longer climbing. You
look out the window and the wings on fire. Another
(25:38):
passenger said it was an incredibly horrible experience. I already
sent goodbye texts because I thought it's over now. On
the ground, somebody made a TikTok video somebody walking by,
and the jet could be heard making loud booms while
it was malfunctioning. That sounded like inside the play. They
(26:03):
had to land in a small city called Brindisi, which
I actually have been to.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
Uh and.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
Not all the passengers had a hotel room because Brindisi
is small and so there's limited availability. Airlines said, unfortunately,
there was insufficient hotel capacity, but they were.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
Given blankets.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
And they kept a few shops open to provide supplies
I guess food, and anyone who took advantage of alternative
accommodations can submit their expenses for reimbursement. It was pretty much, oh,
here's a voucher, I don't know, take a bus somewhere,
see if you can find a hotel down the road. Now,
(26:58):
The airline claimed that None of the people on board
the flight were ever in danger. If you see flames
shooting out of a wing and there's several loud booms,
what do you mean you're not in danger? This is
Condor Airlines claiming it they're not in danger. No, I
(27:19):
think you are in danger. You've got something inexplicable. What's
a turbine airflow disruption? What's a chemical reaction in the
combustion chamber?
Speaker 2 (27:31):
Not dangerous? Now.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
The other story happened at an airport lounge Chicago, ohaer Airport.
You know, if you spend enough money on with the
major airlines, you get elevated status. They might bump you
up to first class or comfort class, you get more
(27:57):
frequent flyer miles, and if you make it up to
a concierge key member, you're allowed to wreak all kinds
of havoc inside the airport lounge. This guy got really loaded,
And I know this has been said a thousand times,
but nobody has ever answered this. Why are people allowed
to get loaded and violent in airport lounges and on planes.
(28:22):
I realized some people need a drink or two to
steady their nerves, But these guys are long past that
this guy is out of control, and he started demanding
that he changed the TV channel and he started shouting
homophobic slurs to the other passengers. Then he assaulted the staff,
(28:44):
but no action was taken because he has high status.
He was wearing a Ritz Carlton hat and he had
elite status on American airlines and so that allowed him
to scream at everybody. He insisted that he gets control
(29:06):
of the TV controller, but everybody else there wanted to
watch the Cubs game against the Pirates. The LAMB staff
sided with the majority of the crowd and said the
Cubs are going to stay on TV. And then the
drunk grabbed the remote, forced everybody to move away and
claimed that his concierge key status gave him the authority
to do so. I don't have that with American by.
Speaker 5 (29:34):
The authority vester than me.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
Oh, I have about ten thousand frequent flyer miles. I
never got up to concierge status. He said they shouldn't
watch little kid baseball, and why don't you go f
your boyfriend, you fat f.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
Now.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
Other customers said you got to remove him from the lounge,
but the front desk agent said no. The man is
concierge key status quote very VIP and we will not
remove him.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
So he was right. He was right.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
He had elite status as a fifteen year customer, and
he had earned executive platinum status several times.
Speaker 5 (30:13):
He earned cussing at the staff status, that's right.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
And control of the television. That's a great story.
Speaker 5 (30:20):
I haven't heard about people misbehaving in the lounge when
I always hear it on the plane.
Speaker 4 (30:25):
I know.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
Well that's where you could really get to downloaded up.
Speaker 5 (30:27):
That's really great. Good grab Mark Thompson, Yeah, we got stuff.
It's great. Alex Stone, the award winning journalist, Michael Monks,
the other award winning journalists. We have, we have break ins,
we have oh we have the car specialist coming through
from Channel seven. You can lease an EV now for
less than one hundred dollars a month.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
That's right.
Speaker 5 (30:48):
Yeah, people are not wow, things have changed market crash. Yeah,
you're not kidding. So anyway, that and mar It's the

Can't I am six forty you're listening to the John
Cobelt podcast on the iHeartRadio app John Cobelt Show on
demand that the podcast same as the radio show. Today,
the Los Angeles City Council actually did something right. They
voted eight to five to oppose a Senate bill. Be
(00:22):
familiar with this. If you live in this single family
house in California, they're coming to get you. Little by little,
They're coming to get you. They want to ruin your
neighborhood Senate Bill seventy nine. It would allow people, well
developers to buy homes and set up apartment buildings with
(00:46):
If you're within a half mile of a heavy rail
or a subway station, they could put six story apartment
buildings in your residential neighborhood. If you're near a rapid
bus line, they could put up a four story apartment building.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
This affects thousands of lots.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Will be right across your street, right next door, maybe
on both sides.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
This is from the bowels of Scott Wiener.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
He's a Democratic state senator from San Francisco at ultra progressive.
Hates single family homes, hates them, hates cars, hates pools,
I'm not overstating this hates everything about ab about suburban life.
(01:36):
Hates your middle class family existence. He hates your wife,
he hates your husband, he hates your children, he hates
your lawn, he hates your pets.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
I don't know why. I don't know what happened in
his childhood.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
But Tracy Park and John Lee produced up a resolution
to oppose this, and I got an eight to five vote.
We were going to talk with Jamie Page has been
covering this closely from the West Side Current, which is
a great news site. Even if you don't live on
the West Side of LA, you ought to read it
because they they jump on these kind of stories which
(02:18):
not only affect LA, but affect the whole the whole state,
because Wiener's bill would effect everywhere.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Welcome. How are you, Jamie.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
I'm good, John, how about you?
Speaker 2 (02:29):
I'm good.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
I was.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
I was kind of surprised that this passed, that there
were at least eight eight city council people who opposed it.
Talk about how how this whole resolution debate went.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
Yeah, it was.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
It was not going to be heard that we heard
early on today that the council President, Harris Dawson was
actually going to hold the resolution, which means it would
not have gone for a vote today, and it it
is supposed to go through the Assembly tomorrow, so that
means that hold would have stopped us from presenting our
(03:06):
resolution to the Assembly. Nineteen councils, our local councils opposed this.
As you said, Council number Lee. It was a lot
of back and forth today and we were, you know,
it was unclear of what direction this was going to take.
But ultimately an eight to five vote means that this
resolution moves the sacramento.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Right, because eight is a majority, it's a bare majority
because there's fifteen members. The way a councilwoman Monica Rodriguez
writes or what she said, is she said this could
allow up to seven story buildings in areas where transit
lines are still years away. So really, if somebody's in
(03:51):
a house and the neighbor sells, a developer comes, they
can put up a seven story apartment building with how
many units in it?
Speaker 3 (04:02):
Good question about.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
The units, but drew a really important point before is
there can be multiples of these as well, too, right,
which can drastically change the makeup of a neighborhood. And
enough high fire danger areas, which is a large concern.
Building these apartment buildings and looking for an exit route
can become a problem in areas like Monica Rodriguez's comes
(04:25):
from the Tracy Park Pacific Palisades. These are really key
details that have not been flushed out or as they say,
baked out in the Assembly. I think also worth pointing out.
And it gets a little bit too much into the details.
But tomorrow's vote in the Assembly could have killed this
bill if they don't move it forward.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
So if the.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
Assembly voted not to move it out of where it
is right now, it wouldn't have moved forward. And I
think that's part of why Harris Dawson wanted to stall
today's resolution.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Votes for the opposition gets too organized here because this
will produce a lot of negative stories. And most people
don't know this thing even exists. I mean, we've talked
about it a number of times.
Speaker 5 (05:10):
But and.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
There's also no requirement for parking. So if you get
a seven story apartment building and I don't people just
don't believe this, then they can't imagine it.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
Right.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
You might have been living on in your neighborhood for
fifty years and you can't imagine suddenly a big apartment
building next to you without adequate parking. But yeah, that's
exactly what will happen, and there could be another one
across the street from you. There is there a limit
on how many can be built on a block?
Speaker 4 (05:41):
No, there's not a limit, And that's part of what
part of the problem with this is there's not a
lot of thinking through how high, how many units that
they're going to put on, and there's actually not only is.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
There not a limit that's in there right now, there's
a lot of incentives for developers to build.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
The closer to the to where it is, the more
money you get for a project. But so we could
see some really neighborhoods that will identify if this state
build passes.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
And this is their thinking.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
You may wonder, what do these single family neighborhoods, Why
do they Why are they going to be victims just
because there's a bus line within a half mile. I'll
give you an example where I live. I'm within a
half a mile of Sunset Bulevard. Now i can't see
Sunset Boulevard, I can't hear it. It might as well
be on the moon. I'm far enough away where Sunset
Boulevard is not does not impact my life, but there's
(06:39):
there's bus routes on it. And because I likely fall
within that half mile zone just because there's a rapid
bus line on Sunset Boulevard, then yeah, many of my
neighbors could build these apartment buildings. God knows what the
developers will pay them for the right to use the lot,
if they're going to make that kind of money back.
(07:00):
And suddenly I'm look and a certain amount is going
to be I'm sure a certain number of the units
will be forced to be low income housing. And who
doesn't want that in their middle class neighborhood?
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Right? Well? Almost housing state law too, but that's already
baked into the parts.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
Of state laws already where you have to have a
certain amount of units or else you pay a fee
or fine if you don't. So yeah, we've already crossed
that bridge.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Right I know.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
So it's going to if they allow this in residential areas,
you will get low income housing people in your neighborhood.
And the idea is that the idea is you have
all this this high density housing and there's a bus
line down the block, and then you use the bus line.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
To take you to work.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
You see, they pack you in apartment buildings and then
they pack you into buses because they hate your single
family home and they hate your single family car. And
so you just follow the communist way, dense housing bus lines,
and you live the way they want you to live.
Speaker 4 (08:06):
And if this passes, it also takes away any of
this of the local voice, so our city council won't
be able to weigh in on these projects.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Is that right? So the city council would be stripped
of any power.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
Yes, that's yes. That's the biggest part of today's vote
was that this would be a state wide bill, so
if it passes, it essentially eliminates any local power that
we have.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
Oh my god, this is horrific. And it actually got
five votes. And next segment, I'm going to tell everybody
who the five are. You can guess if you follow
these things. It's it's the socialist contingent, all right, Jamie.
So now the votes in the Assembly you hear tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
Well, so it's a procedural process. But what it happens
is it goes through it's on like our consent sort
of like our consent calendar. But what happens in this
process is it can be pulled much like it did
today and then talked about, or it can move forward.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
If it doesn't get pulled and it gets killed tomorrow,
as I understand it, then it's no longer moving forward.
This bill has been it's tightly gone through. It went
through the Senate, I believe, on the twenty one votes that.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
It needed or the last committee.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
Sorry, so it's barely squeaking through. If it doesn't tomorrow,
it could be done or else.
Speaker 4 (09:32):
If not, it goes to vote on August twenty ninth.
I believe that's what I've been told.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
The processes, yeah, yeah, and everything could change at the
moment's notice. All right, thank you very much, Jamie Page,
of course, all right, Westside Current, Westside Current dot com.
I'll give you the names of these idiot council people,
I mean, these destructive buffoons, same people over and over
again when we come back.
Speaker 6 (09:58):
You're listening to on co Belt on demand from kf
I A M six forty.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
We have never had so many council people in Los
Angeles who absolutely hate the American way of life, despise it.
They are so they're not even Democrats. They're they're democratic socialists.
This is the fringe progressive element that has won a
(10:27):
number of seats here in Los Angeles and in other
cities as well. The things you hear about are going
on in Chicago and New York, Washington, d C. It's
very similar. It's it's it's extreme progressiveness. It's insanity, really.
And this particular vote was about a resolution so that
(10:53):
the City Council Los Angeles formerly opposes a Senate bill
coming out of Sacramento known as Senate Bill seventy nine,
excreted from deep within the bowels of Scott Wiener, and
it means that somebody could sell their their single family
(11:14):
home in a normal residential neighborhood and it can be
replaced by up to a seven story apartment building with
no provisions for parking, no provisions for how that's going
to affect escape routes in fire areas. Part of the
(11:35):
apartment building will be low income housing. And you could
see what this would do to ordinary, quiet, middle class,
upper middle class neighborhoods. And there's no limit on how many,
and if you're inside a half mile zone where there's
(11:56):
a rail line or a bus line, even if it's
just a proposed rail or bus line that'll happen, and
of course it'll destroy your property value, which is what
they want. They want you to panic and sell your homes.
And so they could put up one hundred of these
in your neighborhood and turn it from a nice middle
class neighborhood into some chaos zone with all the low
(12:20):
income beeple because they think our system is corrupt, hateful races,
the whole thing. No, we have no right to own property,
no right to profit from our property, no right to
a peaceful life, no right to be enjoying things like
(12:41):
our car, water, no pools, no lawns. I'm serious about this.
So the idea is to cram you into this housing project,
these apartment buildings, and then force you to walk down
the street and take a.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
Bus to work.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
These progressives always want to load you on a bus
or a train, and they want you to live in
a little tiny box. Here are the people who support this,
Nitia Ramen, who is one of the great illegal alien
(13:25):
homeless enablers. She really loves homeless people. She wouldn't even
put a stop to people selling guns and drugs from
tents in front of elementary schools, nit the Oramen Hugo
Soda Martinez constantly screaming about illegal aliens and homeless people,
(13:49):
current price. I believe he has eight to ten tell
any charges against him for corruption, and then unices Hernandez,
who has a lot of intellectual challenges. She's another Democratic socialist.
(14:15):
And then one more dumbest man on the planet, Marquise
Harris Dawson. He's somehow the city council president. I don't
think he could talk and tie his shoelace. At the
same time, he was the one who's supposedly in charge
of the city. When Karen Bass ran off to Ghana,
he was supposed to be in charge. There is no
(14:36):
record that he said or did anything to prepare the
city for the windstorm and the fire. There is no
record that he responded in any meaningful way to the
windstorm and the fire. He is a complete dud. The
only time he's done anything that made the news is
when he banned people from cursing and hurling.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Uh insults, using bad language. That's it.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Just suppressing speech. That's the only and uh here's some quotes.
Hugo Soda Martinez says that we have not been responsible
with our efforts to really spur housing growth. So he
wants your neighborhoods destroyed to put up seven story apartment buildings.
(15:41):
At least there's at least there were eight. You know
you need eight, because there's there's there's fifteen. There's fifteen
council people, so at worst it would have lost eight
to seven. I guess two of the council people didn't
show up for work. I don't know, maybe they were
in jail. I can't keep track of all this, but
it's a third of the city council that would like,
(16:02):
really honestly, they would like to bulldoze your homes, get
rid of your your stupid kids, your stupid pets, fill
your swimming pools, junk your cars, and just march you
into the nearest bus. That's the life that you'll have
if they ever get a majority on the city council.
(16:25):
Believe me, Karen Dass probably three quarters of the way
they are herself.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
She just keeps quiet. More coming up.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
Oh, we're gonna talk to We're going to talk next about.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
I know what we're gonna do. I just you'll have
to wait.
Speaker 6 (16:44):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM sixty.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Karen Dass, if you remember, a couple of weeks ago,
just lost her mind because I did a ad. They
caught one guy who's delivering strawberries, and they did it
outside of a newsome event and it was down the
block from from Basst's office. And she got up started
(17:12):
running as fast as her short little legs could carry
her so she could scream at ICE agents. And you
know what's funny is these hack left wing progressive writers.
Every time she screams at ICE agents, it's like, Oh,
she's back, She's turning the tide. You know, she's found
her footing, she's making a comeback.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
I drive through the Palisades every day. I don't know
about that, but I guess when you got your head
up the ass of the Democratic the local Democratic Party,
and they just but you know they're journalists. Anyway, here's
another crazy person. Well, actually, let's set it up with
(17:55):
playing crazy Karen Bass, just to remind people, why would.
Speaker 5 (17:59):
You do that?
Speaker 7 (18:00):
Unbelievably disrespectful. It's a provocative act. They're talking about disorder
in Los Angeles, and they are the source of the
disorder in Los Angeles right now, this is just completely unacceptable.
This is a administration, this is a customs and border
patrol that has gone amok. This absolutely has to sup
(18:21):
There was no danger here, there was no need to
detain anyone here, and there was certainly no need to
have a provocative act right here where the governor is
having a threast company.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
One one strawberry salesman, one strawberry delivery man. She starts screaming,
she's so offended. Well, Boston Mayor Michelle wou another progressive
right down to her bone marrow. She was yelling about
the Attorney General Pam Bondi, the Trump administration immigration letter rip.
Speaker 8 (18:56):
The US Attorney General asked for a response by today.
So here it is. Here is our response. Stop attacking
our cities to hide your administration's failures.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
Stop.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
She's talking about ice coming in and rounding up illegal
aliens that Biden allowed over the border.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
Hey, they don't have to make sense. Continue.
Speaker 8 (19:31):
Unlike the Trump administration, Boston follows the law, and Boston
will not back down from who we are and what
we stand for.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
Stop a second, will you know how many legal alien
raids they've done? Fox Bill mallusion has been embedded in
some of these raids. They went to Boston and they
found some of the worst characters imaginable that we're running
loose in the shall lose city, including people who rape children,
illegal aliens of rape children.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
They were running free. But continue with the self righteousness.
Speaker 8 (20:09):
We will not back away from our community that has
made us the safest major city in the country and
a leading example of why cities around the country make
this country safer, healthier, and more prosperous for all Americans.
To all the federal officials attacking communities that embody diversity, creativity,
(20:33):
and moral clarity. We Mayor said this in DC nearly
six months ago, and I'll say it again today. You
are wrong on the law, and you are wrong on
safety woo. Most of all, you are wrong on cities.
(20:54):
The cities that live in your minds are totally foreign
to the residents living in our cities. And we are
picking up the pieces of your failures to deliver on
your promises.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
She's screaming because the Trump administration Pam Bondi sent letters
to all these sanctuary cities saying you're gonna lose federal
money if you don't start cooperating with ICE, and that's
what set her off. She's not going to get the
free handouts from the federal government anymore because she won't
(21:30):
go along.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
With federal law that says the administration has the right.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
To deport every illegal alien inside our borders. Will and
thirty one other mayors got letters from Bondi saying you have.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
To immediately.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
Identify the initiatives you're taking to eliminate any laws, policies,
and practices that impede federal immigration enforcement. Other words, get
rid of your sanctuary city nonsense. There is no such
thing in American law or in the constitution. There is
no such thing as sanctuary, no matter what how loud
(22:14):
you scream. You got Karen Baths having a breakdown. By
the way, you know when there were ten thousand homes
bringing in the Palisades, did you hear now? Given here,
Boston has created something called the Trust Act, which prevents
local police from detaining immigrants to be deported by ICE
(22:36):
unless there's a criminal warrant issued for their arrest. And
Pambody sent the letters saying, well, we're not putting up
with this, and they're threatening to cut off money, and
they should if you don't want to play along with
the federal government enforcing federal law, then you don't need
(22:56):
federal money. You want to declare yourself a sanctuary. You
could be a sanctuary from federal federal funding. How's that,
there's your sanctuary. You don't want to you you don't
want to help follow federal law, then you don't get
federal tax money anymore. They all institutions. You don't want
to give Jewish students their civil rights, Well, we don't
(23:16):
have to give you money. You don't want to follow
federal immigration lots, All right, we'll do it ourselves. But
you don't get federal money. Oh do they get indignant
and self righteous?
Speaker 2 (23:26):
Don't they? Huh? And it's easy to do.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
When you're at a podium and you have I do
you know city employees clapping and applauding, you probably feel
like a rule in the world. Well, she's not. You
think Tom Homan is scared of uh Michelle Wu. He's
not scared of Karen Bass either. These are you know,
little people who shot a lot stamp their feet, but
(23:53):
they have no power. And it'd be great if all
these cities were cut off, and you'll see just like
the universe. These are capitulating left and right because it's
billions of dollars and the universities wanted so now they
got to at least play pretend and be nice to
the Jewish students and try not to chase them around
(24:14):
and beat them up anymore. All those Palestinian protester thugs
that had free reign to abuse the Jewish kids can't
do it anymore, or you lose.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
The federal mind. All right, we'll continue coming up.
Speaker 6 (24:27):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
Foll us and social media. John Cobelt Radio at John
Cobelt Radio are trying to get to thirty five thousand followers.
All right, Mayhem in the air and mayhem in the
airline lounge. Story number one a Boeing seven to fifty seven.
(24:53):
This is Condor Airlines. They were carrying almost three hundred
people from Greece Germany. Suddenly flames started flaring out of
the right wing of the plane and they had to
make an emergency landing. Now, the malfunction was described as
(25:16):
a turbine airflow disruption, a chemical reaction that happened inside
the combustion chamber and again this is a Boeing plane.
According to one passenger, the power went out for a
few seconds. We realized we were no longer climbing. You
look out the window and the wings on fire. Another
(25:38):
passenger said it was an incredibly horrible experience. I already
sent goodbye texts because I thought it's over now. On
the ground, somebody made a TikTok video somebody walking by,
and the jet could be heard making loud booms while
it was malfunctioning. That sounded like inside the play. They
(26:03):
had to land in a small city called Brindisi, which
I actually have been to.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
Uh and.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
Not all the passengers had a hotel room because Brindisi
is small and so there's limited availability. Airlines said, unfortunately,
there was insufficient hotel capacity, but they were.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
Given blankets.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
And they kept a few shops open to provide supplies
I guess food, and anyone who took advantage of alternative
accommodations can submit their expenses for reimbursement. It was pretty much, oh,
here's a voucher, I don't know, take a bus somewhere,
see if you can find a hotel down the road. Now,
(26:58):
The airline claimed that None of the people on board
the flight were ever in danger. If you see flames
shooting out of a wing and there's several loud booms,
what do you mean you're not in danger? This is
Condor Airlines claiming it they're not in danger. No, I
(27:19):
think you are in danger. You've got something inexplicable. What's
a turbine airflow disruption? What's a chemical reaction in the
combustion chamber?
Speaker 2 (27:31):
Not dangerous? Now.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
The other story happened at an airport lounge Chicago, ohaer Airport.
You know, if you spend enough money on with the
major airlines, you get elevated status. They might bump you
up to first class or comfort class, you get more
(27:57):
frequent flyer miles, and if you make it up to
a concierge key member, you're allowed to wreak all kinds
of havoc inside the airport lounge. This guy got really loaded,
And I know this has been said a thousand times,
but nobody has ever answered this. Why are people allowed
to get loaded and violent in airport lounges and on planes.
(28:22):
I realized some people need a drink or two to
steady their nerves, But these guys are long past that
this guy is out of control, and he started demanding
that he changed the TV channel and he started shouting
homophobic slurs to the other passengers. Then he assaulted the staff,
(28:44):
but no action was taken because he has high status.
He was wearing a Ritz Carlton hat and he had
elite status on American airlines and so that allowed him
to scream at everybody. He insisted that he gets control
(29:06):
of the TV controller, but everybody else there wanted to
watch the Cubs game against the Pirates. The LAMB staff
sided with the majority of the crowd and said the
Cubs are going to stay on TV. And then the
drunk grabbed the remote, forced everybody to move away and
claimed that his concierge key status gave him the authority
to do so. I don't have that with American by.
Speaker 5 (29:34):
The authority vester than me.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
Oh, I have about ten thousand frequent flyer miles. I
never got up to concierge status. He said they shouldn't
watch little kid baseball, and why don't you go f
your boyfriend, you fat f.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
Now.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
Other customers said you got to remove him from the lounge,
but the front desk agent said no. The man is
concierge key status quote very VIP and we will not
remove him.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
So he was right. He was right.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
He had elite status as a fifteen year customer, and
he had earned executive platinum status several times.
Speaker 5 (30:13):
He earned cussing at the staff status, that's right.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
And control of the television. That's a great story.
Speaker 5 (30:20):
I haven't heard about people misbehaving in the lounge when
I always hear it on the plane.
Speaker 4 (30:25):
I know.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
Well that's where you could really get to downloaded up.
Speaker 5 (30:27):
That's really great. Good grab Mark Thompson, Yeah, we got stuff.
It's great. Alex Stone, the award winning journalist, Michael Monks,
the other award winning journalists. We have, we have break ins,
we have oh we have the car specialist coming through
from Channel seven. You can lease an EV now for
less than one hundred dollars a month.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
That's right.
Speaker 5 (30:48):
Yeah, people are not wow, things have changed market crash. Yeah,
you're not kidding. So anyway, that and mar It's the
