Speaker 1 (00:00):
Can't.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
I am six forty.
Speaker 3 (00:02):
You're listening to the John Cobelt Podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
We are on every day from one until four o'clock
and then after four o'clock John Cobelt's show on demand
on the iHeart app.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Oh, I got a lot of good.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
Stuff on the show today, including in a half an
hour we're going to talk with Daniel Guss. Daniel Guss,
you can go to his news site, Daniel Guss at
substack dot com. The La Times has been hit with
a twenty four million dollar lawsuit for not paying the
(00:36):
rent on its old on its old building in downtown
La They called it the Olympic Plant. That's their printing plant,
and they moved out of there last year and they
left behind a terrible mess and didn't pay the rent
(00:58):
according to the landlord. So yeah, Patrick Sun Chiang, the billionaire,
is being hit with a lawsuit for not paying the
rent for the La Times and leaving the building in
gross disrepairs. That's with Daniel guests after one p thirty. Now,
I've got good news here because I always actually I'm
(01:19):
a pretty optimistic person naturally, because I think even when
things are bad, if there's enough will exerted, enough energy exerted, things.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Can get better.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
And I don't have I don't have patience for people
who moan about their situation in life.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
I really don't. You do something.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
If you do something, you can make it better every day,
every hour. But you have to take action. That's why
I have like zero tolerance for people who are laying
in the streets and they won't even get the free
help that's being offered by the rest of us. You know,
at some point it's like, you know, just get out
of here, go away, no compassion, because you can always
(02:05):
take action to prevent yourself from getting in some kind
of spiral, or you can take action to get out
of it, or you can lay there and just right away.
And a lot of people in California have gotten very
pessimistic and just want to lay there and let California
ride away because they think the forces are too strong.
(02:28):
Oh you know, we're always going to have this kind
of political climate. Oh, people are always going to vote
this way. It's like, well, no, that's not true. A
lot of bad things might have to happen before people
start voting differently. But we've had a lot of bad
things happen.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
That leads me to.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
This story. There is a pulling outfit called Madison McQueen.
They do California pulling, among other things, and they popped
up a few months ago after the fires. They did
a survey and found out that if there was an election,
I believe in January or early February, Brickruso would win
(03:06):
forty six to thirty seven. And it was a huge
come down for Karen Bass and I have been thinking
that all the bad things that have happened in California,
including the fire, it's reached a tipping point and people
now have finally awoken out of there I don't know,
(03:26):
COVID slumber, and they think, you know what, we don't
have to live this way. We don't have to let
these psycho progressives rule everything just because they shout loud
and they get hysterical and they try to cancel you
just because they have mental disorders. I think some months
(03:47):
ago I told you about the cluster B mental disorder.
Go look it up. I don't have time to explain
it now, but look up cluster B. And if that
doesn't describe most of the people you see in public
who boy over at these demonstrations who are constantly offended
in protesting, you know, whether whether they're angry over Trump
(04:08):
or or fight they're fighting any kind of rational homeless policy.
You'll see it's a cluster b It's like a hysterical disorder.
And most of the most of the people uh in
public life now who are not actual politicians, but but
with organizations that they have cluster b disorder. You may
(04:28):
know some people in your own life, but eventually everyone
gets tired of that. They're tired of the cluster bee
crowd ruling things. And they're looking around and they're seeing
California's in disrepair, and they think, one by one they're
not organized, they're not in any kind of a cult
(04:49):
or political party necessarily. They just wake up as regular
person and they wake up and they look around. It's like, wow,
the place has gone to hell? That what is going on?
And you start looking at how did I vote? A
lot of people are saying, how did I vote? Did
I vote for Cara Pass? I voted for Gavin Newsom. God,
I'm embarrassed by that. I'll never tell anybody. Okay, here's
(05:13):
the Madison mc queen poll. They found that forty eight
percent of likely California voters say they'd consider voting for
a republic and for governor next year forty eight percent.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
You know how significant that is.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
Republican Party voter in voter registration in California is only
twenty five percent, almost twice as many are now say
they'd consider not a lock.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
But you've moved a lot of people over.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
It's like right candidate who promotes the right set of
issues can be done. And here is a list of
issues that it seems that most of the public majorities
of the public are really angry about. And number one
is my favorite. Eighty three percent of voters said gas
(06:09):
prices are too high in California eighty three percent. Now,
it has been that way for many, many years, and
the rest of the country has been in the twos
and threes since forever, and we have been in the
fours and fives. Eighty three percent say gas prices are
(06:32):
too high in California. That's entirely the result of progressive
Democratic Party policies. You strip away all the taxes and
regulations that we have in California that most other states don't,
and we should be paying a dollar fifty to two
dollars less period, end of story. Here's another one, seventy
(06:56):
three percent support fully funding thirty six. That's the one
that made theft illegal again, public drug use illegal again,
made fentinal crimes for the first time, made you know,
fentinal dealing a crime. Seventy three percent. Now, remember last
(07:21):
year that Newsom and the Democratic Legislature played all kinds
of bizarre games to try to stop Prop thirty six.
More people support it now than actually voted for it
at the time. Here's another one. Seventy two percent feel
homelessness is still a big problem, even after years of
Democrat control in Sacramento, not to mention LA. Finally, people
(07:45):
are saying, hey, they've had control, We've spent billions, nothing
is improved.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Wow, seventy two percent.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Tell me you can't put together a successful campaign when
you if you push gas, funding Prop thirty six and
executing a plan against homelessness. By the way, we just
talked about the Prop thirty sixth thing last week, didn't
we We told you that the Democrats are not funding it,
(08:20):
and you have to fund drug treatment. You have to
do that, and they don't want to. They refuse to
the Democrats in the legislature refuse to fund drug treatment.
So does Gavin Newsom because they're so angry about the
proposition passing. Well, that's going up against almost three quarters
(08:44):
of the state. This is what I've always said, most Democrats,
most Democrats do not want rampant homelessness and crime and
extremely high gas prices. Only now are they connecting it
to democratic policies. But they don't like these problems normal people.
(09:09):
I'm not talking about the cluster b psychotics. Seventy one
percent believe the Democrats in charge have not addressed the
state's high cost of living sixty nine percent. Sixty nine
percent think Democrats and Sacramento have not done enough to
bring down energy and utility costs. Well, of course not.
They've driven the costs much higher with their climate rules
(09:33):
and regulations, and they did it on purpose, and they're
proud of it. And the thing they think that's the
way too. Well, really, what it is is a big,
gigantic scam is what it is. They take the money
from all these taxes and they distribute it to their
politically connected friends in business and in the nonprofit industry,
(09:58):
which is a criminal industry. This is what they're finding
out in Washington, d C. It's, you know, starting to
wake people up here in La. All that extra money
we've been paying for gas gas taxes, where did it go?
Had no effect on the climate, none at all. They've
been stealing the money now for nineteen years. There's been
(10:19):
no change in the climate. They just stole the money.
Sixty two percent want a full independent investigation of the
Los Angeles wildfires sixty two percent. Only twenty four percent
of Californians think that males who are transgender should compete
in female sports, only twenty four percent. You could see
(10:44):
there is a group of extreme progressives that have had
control of the legislature, the governor's office. They've controlled the
media to amplify that message. Most of the public in California,
even in California, most of the public doesn't like it.
We'll talk more coming up.
Speaker 4 (11:03):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
So this is really good news. Oh, by the way,
Daniel guests coming on at one thirty. He has got
a story about the Ally Times getting hit with a
twenty four million dollar lawsuit because they moved out of
their printing plant in downtown LA and left the place
a wreck covered in toxic ink stains. There's a lot
of damage, gross disrepair. And turns out Patrick soon Young,
(11:34):
according to the lawsuit, wasn't paying the rent. Mister big billionaire,
not paying the rent for the where the printing press
was located. All right, but back to this pole, because
this is really a big deal here. This is the
Madison McQueen pole. And they interviewed seven hundred residents here
(11:55):
in California. And if you were with us in the
first segment, you may be thinking, well, this looks like
some kind of skewed poll. I'll show you why it's not.
If you're just joining us in this poll. Eighty three
percent of voters say gas prices too high in California.
Seventy three percent want Prop thirty Prop thirty six fully
(12:18):
funded that means getting the drug treatment programs. Seventy two
percent think homelessness still a big problem even after years
of Democratic control. In Sacramento, Seventy one percent say Democrats
have not addressed the state's high cost of living. Sixty
nine percent say Democrats have not enough done and have
not done enough to bring down energy and utility costs.
(12:39):
Sixty two percent want a full independent investigation of the wildfires.
That is six major categories there where huge majorities are
saying the ruling party is screwing up. And that's the
first time I've seen this. And you may be saying, oh, okay, Well,
(13:00):
only interviewed Republicans, right, okay, So here's the deal. First
of all, they asked, well, they asked a lot of things,
but let me get you to the let me get
you to the stuff that's important here. In case you're
doubting the balance of this, just let me get okay,
(13:20):
They asked, who did you vote for in the presidential election? Well,
fifty nine percent said Kamala Harris, thirty eight percent said Trump.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
That's pretty close.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
That's pretty close to the final outcome, all right, fifty
nine to thirty eight. And then they also wanted to
know what party you were registered in. Fifty percent said Democrat,
twenty nine percent said republican, twenty percent said independent. Again
pretty close. So it wasn't overweighted with Republicans and independents,
was not underweighted with Democrats, and it produced results in
(13:57):
the seventies and eighties when it came people, when it
came to people being unhappy with the way certain issues
are playing out here in California, which means the conditions
are ripe to have a candidate here in Los Angeles
and in Sacramento that starts to drastically change the direction
(14:18):
we're going it because people have had it with woke
progressive politics here in California. Even it did seem like
in the last couple of months much of the rest
of the country was enjoying a big party. Finally, illegal
aliens getting deported. Finally action is being taken when it
(14:44):
when it comes to cutting the government down to size,
most people are support that. I know if you watch
regular media, you hear all these criticisms of Trump and
Elon Musk. The polling indicates that people again in the
seventies and eighties, in a percentage range, want all those
(15:05):
people to ported. They want the government cut dramatically. They do.
And here in California. I always wonder are people just stry?
I mean, are they designed differently? Do people in California
have different genetics? Why would they put up with all
this filth, Why would they put up with the high
cost of everything? Well, it turns out they don't want
(15:27):
to anymore, because now forty eight percent of likely voters
say they'd consider voting for a Republican and again eighty
three percent gas too high, Seventy three percent they want
Prop thirty six fully funded. Seventy two percent says homeless
still a big problem. And it goes on and on here.
So this is a tipping point has been reached. We've
(15:50):
arrived at a turning point now where not just bare majorities,
but super majorities in the seventies and eighties have said
aenough is enough. Here I'll give you an example. Here's
another question. Do you support or oppose free healthcare to
illegal aliens funded by taxpayer dollars?
Speaker 2 (16:11):
How about this?
Speaker 3 (16:14):
Sixty percent, sixty one percent say a pose, sixty one
percent say a pose. Only thirty one percent support sanctuary policy.
Fifty five percent oppose. Only forty one percent support, so
(16:40):
Prop thirty six huge, seventy three percent support. Do you
support current tax rates under California's Democratic leadership? No, taxes
are too high and hurting residents fifty four percent. It's
(17:02):
across the board. All these left wing progressive policies rejected,
rejected in great numbers. Now you need candidates to implement
a new way you need candidates to run for office governor,
mayor the legislature. I don't know about the city council
here in LA. It's going in the other direction. It's
(17:24):
more socialists.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
But you know La.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
You know, California is a big place. You can move
out of LA and go to somewhere normal. You know,
this is a big deal. And I don't know if
there are Republican candidates, independent candidates, a different kind of
democratic candidate who sees this and says, you know what,
I can do this. I can run on these issues,
(17:48):
and I can win, and we can start knocking out
some of this progressive garbage that has infested our lives
and caused us so much misery. The progressive movement has
got to end. It's got to end now. And we
just need some candidates here because the public's ready. You
look at this poll. The public's absolutely ready. They're starving.
(18:12):
Right person shows up and can articulate it and has
some passion and energy and intelligence, especially the intelligence. All right,
we come back, Daniel Guss, and it looks like Patrick
soon Young and the La Times left the printing plant
in downtown LA left behind a big, disgusting mess and
(18:36):
didn't pay rent and they've been hit with a twenty
four million dollar lawsuit by the landlord. So who So
Daniel Gus, the journalist, coming up next.
Speaker 4 (18:44):
You're listening to John Cobbel's on Demand from KFI Am sixty.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
We're on every day from one until four and after
four o'clock John Cobelt Show on demand. Hey Voice, Slide's
coming back eight seven seven Moist eighty six on Friday
eight seven seven mois staighty six. So usually talkback feature
on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
So that's exciting. We uh.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
The funny story came out today in the New York
Post of all places, is that the La Times has
been hit with a twenty four million dollar lawsuit.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
What a bad tenant.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
They didn't pay rent, They left the printing plant covered
in toxic ink stains. They moved out last year, and
the lawsuit says they left the place a terrible mess, disaster.
So Daniel Guss, and you can read his stuff on substack,
is here with us to explain what he knows. Daniel,
(19:39):
how are you?
Speaker 1 (19:41):
Oh? Good? John? I mean, it is a gift that
this happens on Saint Patrick's Day, isn't it?
Speaker 3 (19:48):
Oh? Yeah, no, the holidays are always slow. But this
is this is wonderful.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
And Patrickson I meant Saint Patrick's tent Sewn's nightmare. Oh my,
oh my god. Man, have you seen the photos of this,
of this printing place plant at the LA Times, Like
now that basically print newspapers are going away with everybody's,
(20:16):
you know, elderly relatives. The La Times has been printing
its print version at this plant. It's about a five
mile drive south of Dodger Stadium. We've about three and
a half four miles as the crow flies kind of
sort of where the ten and the one ten and
(20:38):
the one on one where they all kind of.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
Oh yeah, I think you could still you could still
see the name on the on the building.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Yeah, I mean the last time I was there, I
could see it. And the according to the lawsuit, at least,
I should say, according to the New York Post, which
I want to point out, John, I don't see this
story in the La Times. So is there some sort
of prohibition of The Times not being able to report
on itself? Because I'm looking if it's there, I haven't
(21:10):
found it. So anyway the paper was supposed to I
guess they terminated their lease a year ago last March.
They were supposed to be out at the end of
last August, but didn't leave until sometime in late September.
And it looks like a squid and an octopus had
(21:33):
won the hell of a drunken vendor going on there
because the place is covered in black ink. It looks
like the walls are broken out. There's all sorts of
infrastructure damage there, and it was so severe according to
the lawsuit, although Sun Shawn's lawyers call it meritless that
(21:58):
must have taken right, I don't think so. The photos
that I saw looked like a crime scene.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
Uh yeah, this is it.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
It really does look it does look like criminal gangs
would hold hostages in this kind of room.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
I think they would do that.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
But it's like a dungeon, right, Yeah, it's like a dungeon,
and there is black ink everywhere. And in the contract
they were supposed to leave it in good condition.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Right or restore right, restore it to good condition, and
it apparently took up so much time to restore it,
which Sun Shung apparently didn't do that it has cost
the landlord to whom he sold it and for whom
he became a tenant after selling it a real estate
(22:48):
company called Alameda. Then it took so long that Alameda
lost rent on the time it took to repair the place.
But for the LA Times, I mean, maybe it's in
the technicalities of the lease agreement, but meritless, I don't know.
But the big takeaway, John, how come it's not in
(23:10):
the LA Times?
Speaker 2 (23:13):
And how come they weren't paying the rent?
Speaker 1 (23:17):
Right?
Speaker 3 (23:18):
Right?
Speaker 1 (23:19):
I mean, here's so much in Los Angeles every day
at LA City Council landlord tenant dispute, landlord tenant dispute.
Who's gonna think that the richest guy in LA despite
his owning The La Times, he's apparently still the richest
guy in LA that a billionaire would be the tenant
being sued by his landlord.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
More than twenty million dollars in holdover rent and millions
of dollars to return the plant in its original condition.
I don't know what's going on. Let's see one of
these tenants. You know, sometimes tenants, when they know they're
gonna move, they just don't pay the last few months,
knowing it'll take too long to get evicted, and then
(24:00):
they just leave down and disappear, although in this case
some Times can't really disappear very far.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
Right, they're over in what does it smell? Segunda right now?
And I'm like, holy smokes, and it's just like, you
know what, it's another layer of the onion that's coming
undone here. Because I said, I've been watching newspapers, you know,
fall by the wayside, at least in terms of their value,
for twenty thirty years. And for some reason, I said
(24:31):
it years ago and anybody with common sense he overpaid
by hundreds of millions of dollars for this organization in
a dying industry. And I'll be honest with you, I
don't think the Only Times is worth a dollar given attention,
obligations and anything else.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
You know, it's just a coat of arms. It's like
an old rich British family that had its heyday and
they were lords and barons and they had hundreds of
millions of dollars, and then the succeeding generations were filled
drunks and drug addicts and they blew the money and
at the end, that's all. It's a coat of arms.
That's what the La Times nameplate is. It signifies nothing.
(25:10):
A glorious past maybe, but nothing because they had squandered.
They squandered all their credibility, they squandered their subscribers, they
squandered their advertising base. You know, it's like a fourth
generation Kennedy, Right, that's a good analogy.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
Yeah. I don't feel bad for a guy who's worth
that money. But he bought into the La Times at
a time when the industry his advisors should have said, hey,
wait a minute, this thing isn't worth anywhere near what
you're paying for it. And he's had nothing but head
eggs ever since. I think he's known his seventh year
(25:47):
and I think he's about almost sixty three years old,
and who needs this. He's been talking, you know, the
right things now, but I think it's too little.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
Too late.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
I have a feeling that they're let me well, feeling
that he can't even find a buyer that he would
sell it to be good.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
But the reps, because they haven't.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
Their staff is made up of what you probably run
into them. It's it's a lot of young people, uh.
And I see their bios. Their last stop was at
a community college, or maybe they were an intern at
a TV station out in the Inland empire. I mean,
you don't have people h cycling in from the Wall
Street Journal and the New York Times or Newsweek magazine
(26:27):
like it used to be. Now it's local communications graduates,
and the writing is awful, the news judgment is awful,
and it's it's hardly even worth talking about it anymore.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
It's dead, right, And why should some of us who
do follow it, because this is what you and I do?
Why should we know the sexual preference or orientation of
the reporters at the LA Times, not the columnists, not
the people who give the opinions for a living. They
are more focused or have been more focused on their
their personal references. They're pronouns, and this is the consequence,
(27:04):
like who's minding who's minding the store? And now this
is aside from everything else, John, it's a really bad
look for Patricksons young.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
It's you know what it's.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
It's it's left over from a fatish era that is
passed now, a fatish era where people got overheated about
their pronouns, and now it just looks stupid. It's it's like,
you know what, guys used to wear leisure suits decades ago, right,
and then ten years later they look in the photos
and go, oh my god, well, why did I wear that?
Speaker 2 (27:37):
That's the same thing, right, the comb over.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
Yes, And I'll be honest, and I'll be honest with you.
It's this type of circumstances, that type of environment at
the LA Times, though, I think enable. I'm not blaming
the great Los Angeles inferno on the LA Times, but
it's the kind of thing where if they had full
staff and they had real intrepid reporting, we would have
found out about these conditions, possibly possibly before the inferno
(28:05):
took place and the lives were ruined. And it is
more reactionary than proactive in my opinion. And I'm biased
as hell about it, but I but I call them
as I see him as you do.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
Well, Daniel, thank you very much for.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
Coming on anytime. John'll tuk you soon.
Speaker 3 (28:21):
I think it's going out of business. I think it
has been for a long time. We coming up after
two o'clock. Yeah, Carl Demio, he blew the whistle on
this week's ago the cost of illegal alien healthcare in California.
It's now three and a half billion dollars above their estimate.
And now Gavin Newsom and the state has to borrow
(28:45):
the three billion dollars they have to borrow three billion
dollars because we don't have Apparently we're not paying enough
in taxes to cover a legal alien credle to grave Healthcare.
Who would have thought that's coming up?
Speaker 2 (28:57):
After two?
Speaker 4 (28:58):
You're listening to Cobel's on demand from KFI AM sixty.
Speaker 3 (29:04):
John Cobelt cho k f I AM six forty Live
everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. All right, well, we were
just had Daniel Gusson and we were talking about the
La Times and they're getting sued for twenty four million
dollars because they left their printing press plant such a disaster,
(29:26):
so much damage was done to the building that the
landlord is suing Patrick Schun Suncheon for twenty four million.
And we're talking about just how the paper is just
non existent compared to what it used to be. It's
and the reporters are very young, and you go to
their bios you see what they write about, and it's
all about their personal pronouns and their sexual preferences. And
(29:48):
I told him, I got this is part of what's
now a bygone era, the bygone era of progressive insanity.
But there are some remnants, and in New Jersey they're
dealing with it. Imagine you're a mom in you're a
mom and dad in New Jersey. Actually, you're having a
new baby, all right. You go to the New Jersey hospital,
(30:10):
you give birth to a new baby, and you get
a questionnaire from the hospital in spirra of health. Is
the name of the organization that requires new parents? Well,
I'll give you the title of it, Sexual Orientation and
(30:31):
Gender Identity Questionnaire. This is what you get for a
baby who's a few hours old. This is the first
piece of paperwork that the parent has to fill out
on the infant's behalf. So imagine you have a little
eight pound baby lying there, barely open, its eyes, squealing,
covered in placenta and blood, waving its arms and legs.
(30:57):
They're handed a questionnaire. How do I identify your baby?
These are the real options. I'm not making this up. Male, female, transgender, gender,
queer or additional gender category.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
Okay, how would you know that? At that time? It's
a law, but that makes zero sense. You would not
know those. You can't answer that. The baby doesn't even
know it exists. You would only know a male or
a female by looking at the private parts. Wait, there's
a second question.
Speaker 3 (31:34):
It further asked parents to select the word that best
describes their infant Lesbian, are gay, straight, or heterosexual? Self described,
questioning or unsure.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
This is a newborn baby.
Speaker 3 (31:48):
We're talking a newborn baby. Just slit out the shoot.
Just this is still you don't like the term split
out the shoot. I know I saw you flinch there
of that either. It's a healthcare system that operates four hospitals,
two cancer centers, and eight health centers. They created the
(32:10):
form last year to comply with a new Jersey law
that required healthcare providers to collect race, ethnicity, sexual orientation,
and gender identity, and this hospital group extended it to newborns.
One mother said, if I was told to fill this out,
I'd rip it up right in front of them. We've
(32:32):
entered the twilight zone. Here's another mom. I get to
think my baby as gay on day one is insane.
I had no idea about this form.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
I'm shocked.
Speaker 3 (32:46):
You imagined, she says. I know you're as a mom myself.
I know you're exhausted after giving birth. You've got a
crying newborn and you're trying to figure out how to
feed it. To be handed that sort of form in
the midst of all this that has no medical value.
Speaker 2 (32:59):
It makes no Yeah, I wouldn't be signing it either,
And she.
Speaker 3 (33:03):
Put it on Facebook and nobody believed it. They all
thought it was some kind of joke.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
But uh, somebody screwed up here, because that's that that
is so stupid. Two State Senators Joseph Cryon and Angela
McKnight Democrats, introduced the bill June twenty third, twenty and
twenty two, and they have now refused to comment. There's
no possible way.
Speaker 3 (33:30):
I mean, we're talking newborns, So somebody screwed up you
guys that you needed to include newborns.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
So you got to stand over the newborn and go
gay straight cry once, what's for gay?
Speaker 3 (33:45):
Right?
Speaker 1 (33:45):
Twice?
Speaker 2 (33:46):
Straight straight, and then transgender three times. I mean, I
don't know actual law in the stand in New Jersey.
Speaker 3 (33:56):
All Right, we've got news coming up next live in
the Camp 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't.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
I am six forty.
Speaker 3 (00:02):
You're listening to the John Cobelt Podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
We are on every day from one until four o'clock
and then after four o'clock John Cobelt's show on demand
on the iHeart app.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Oh, I got a lot of good.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
Stuff on the show today, including in a half an
hour we're going to talk with Daniel Guss. Daniel Guss,
you can go to his news site, Daniel Guss at
substack dot com. The La Times has been hit with
a twenty four million dollar lawsuit for not paying the
(00:36):
rent on its old on its old building in downtown
La They called it the Olympic Plant. That's their printing plant,
and they moved out of there last year and they
left behind a terrible mess and didn't pay the rent
(00:58):
according to the landlord. So yeah, Patrick Sun Chiang, the billionaire,
is being hit with a lawsuit for not paying the
rent for the La Times and leaving the building in
gross disrepairs. That's with Daniel guests after one p thirty. Now,
I've got good news here because I always actually I'm
(01:19):
a pretty optimistic person naturally, because I think even when
things are bad, if there's enough will exerted, enough energy exerted, things.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Can get better.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
And I don't have I don't have patience for people
who moan about their situation in life.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
I really don't. You do something.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
If you do something, you can make it better every day,
every hour. But you have to take action. That's why
I have like zero tolerance for people who are laying
in the streets and they won't even get the free
help that's being offered by the rest of us. You know,
at some point it's like, you know, just get out
of here, go away, no compassion, because you can always
(02:05):
take action to prevent yourself from getting in some kind
of spiral, or you can take action to get out
of it, or you can lay there and just right away.
And a lot of people in California have gotten very
pessimistic and just want to lay there and let California
ride away because they think the forces are too strong.
(02:28):
Oh you know, we're always going to have this kind
of political climate. Oh, people are always going to vote
this way. It's like, well, no, that's not true. A
lot of bad things might have to happen before people
start voting differently. But we've had a lot of bad
things happen.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
That leads me to.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
This story. There is a pulling outfit called Madison McQueen.
They do California pulling, among other things, and they popped
up a few months ago after the fires. They did
a survey and found out that if there was an election,
I believe in January or early February, Brickruso would win
(03:06):
forty six to thirty seven. And it was a huge
come down for Karen Bass and I have been thinking
that all the bad things that have happened in California,
including the fire, it's reached a tipping point and people
now have finally awoken out of there I don't know,
(03:26):
COVID slumber, and they think, you know what, we don't
have to live this way. We don't have to let
these psycho progressives rule everything just because they shout loud
and they get hysterical and they try to cancel you
just because they have mental disorders. I think some months
(03:47):
ago I told you about the cluster B mental disorder.
Go look it up. I don't have time to explain
it now, but look up cluster B. And if that
doesn't describe most of the people you see in public
who boy over at these demonstrations who are constantly offended
in protesting, you know, whether whether they're angry over Trump
(04:08):
or or fight they're fighting any kind of rational homeless policy.
You'll see it's a cluster b It's like a hysterical disorder.
And most of the most of the people uh in
public life now who are not actual politicians, but but
with organizations that they have cluster b disorder. You may
(04:28):
know some people in your own life, but eventually everyone
gets tired of that. They're tired of the cluster bee
crowd ruling things. And they're looking around and they're seeing
California's in disrepair, and they think, one by one they're
not organized, they're not in any kind of a cult
(04:49):
or political party necessarily. They just wake up as regular
person and they wake up and they look around. It's like, wow,
the place has gone to hell? That what is going on?
And you start looking at how did I vote? A
lot of people are saying, how did I vote? Did
I vote for Cara Pass? I voted for Gavin Newsom. God,
I'm embarrassed by that. I'll never tell anybody. Okay, here's
(05:13):
the Madison mc queen poll. They found that forty eight
percent of likely California voters say they'd consider voting for
a republic and for governor next year forty eight percent.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
You know how significant that is.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
Republican Party voter in voter registration in California is only
twenty five percent, almost twice as many are now say
they'd consider not a lock.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
But you've moved a lot of people over.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
It's like right candidate who promotes the right set of
issues can be done. And here is a list of
issues that it seems that most of the public majorities
of the public are really angry about. And number one
is my favorite. Eighty three percent of voters said gas
(06:09):
prices are too high in California eighty three percent. Now,
it has been that way for many, many years, and
the rest of the country has been in the twos
and threes since forever, and we have been in the
fours and fives. Eighty three percent say gas prices are
(06:32):
too high in California. That's entirely the result of progressive
Democratic Party policies. You strip away all the taxes and
regulations that we have in California that most other states don't,
and we should be paying a dollar fifty to two
dollars less period, end of story. Here's another one, seventy
(06:56):
three percent support fully funding thirty six. That's the one
that made theft illegal again, public drug use illegal again,
made fentinal crimes for the first time, made you know,
fentinal dealing a crime. Seventy three percent. Now, remember last
(07:21):
year that Newsom and the Democratic Legislature played all kinds
of bizarre games to try to stop Prop thirty six.
More people support it now than actually voted for it
at the time. Here's another one. Seventy two percent feel
homelessness is still a big problem, even after years of
Democrat control in Sacramento, not to mention LA. Finally, people
(07:45):
are saying, hey, they've had control, We've spent billions, nothing
is improved.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Wow, seventy two percent.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Tell me you can't put together a successful campaign when
you if you push gas, funding Prop thirty six and
executing a plan against homelessness. By the way, we just
talked about the Prop thirty sixth thing last week, didn't
we We told you that the Democrats are not funding it,
(08:20):
and you have to fund drug treatment. You have to
do that, and they don't want to. They refuse to
the Democrats in the legislature refuse to fund drug treatment.
So does Gavin Newsom because they're so angry about the
proposition passing. Well, that's going up against almost three quarters
(08:44):
of the state. This is what I've always said, most Democrats,
most Democrats do not want rampant homelessness and crime and
extremely high gas prices. Only now are they connecting it
to democratic policies. But they don't like these problems normal people.
(09:09):
I'm not talking about the cluster b psychotics. Seventy one
percent believe the Democrats in charge have not addressed the
state's high cost of living sixty nine percent. Sixty nine
percent think Democrats and Sacramento have not done enough to
bring down energy and utility costs. Well, of course not.
They've driven the costs much higher with their climate rules
(09:33):
and regulations, and they did it on purpose, and they're
proud of it. And the thing they think that's the
way too. Well, really, what it is is a big,
gigantic scam is what it is. They take the money
from all these taxes and they distribute it to their
politically connected friends in business and in the nonprofit industry,
(09:58):
which is a criminal industry. This is what they're finding
out in Washington, d C. It's, you know, starting to
wake people up here in La. All that extra money
we've been paying for gas gas taxes, where did it go?
Had no effect on the climate, none at all. They've
been stealing the money now for nineteen years. There's been
(10:19):
no change in the climate. They just stole the money.
Sixty two percent want a full independent investigation of the
Los Angeles wildfires sixty two percent. Only twenty four percent
of Californians think that males who are transgender should compete
in female sports, only twenty four percent. You could see
(10:44):
there is a group of extreme progressives that have had
control of the legislature, the governor's office. They've controlled the
media to amplify that message. Most of the public in California,
even in California, most of the public doesn't like it.
We'll talk more coming up.
Speaker 4 (11:03):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
So this is really good news. Oh, by the way,
Daniel guests coming on at one thirty. He has got
a story about the Ally Times getting hit with a
twenty four million dollar lawsuit because they moved out of
their printing plant in downtown LA and left the place
a wreck covered in toxic ink stains. There's a lot
of damage, gross disrepair. And turns out Patrick soon Young,
(11:34):
according to the lawsuit, wasn't paying the rent. Mister big billionaire,
not paying the rent for the where the printing press
was located. All right, but back to this pole, because
this is really a big deal here. This is the
Madison McQueen pole. And they interviewed seven hundred residents here
(11:55):
in California. And if you were with us in the
first segment, you may be thinking, well, this looks like
some kind of skewed poll. I'll show you why it's not.
If you're just joining us in this poll. Eighty three
percent of voters say gas prices too high in California.
Seventy three percent want Prop thirty Prop thirty six fully
(12:18):
funded that means getting the drug treatment programs. Seventy two
percent think homelessness still a big problem even after years
of Democratic control. In Sacramento, Seventy one percent say Democrats
have not addressed the state's high cost of living. Sixty
nine percent say Democrats have not enough done and have
not done enough to bring down energy and utility costs.
(12:39):
Sixty two percent want a full independent investigation of the wildfires.
That is six major categories there where huge majorities are
saying the ruling party is screwing up. And that's the
first time I've seen this. And you may be saying, oh, okay, Well,
(13:00):
only interviewed Republicans, right, okay, So here's the deal. First
of all, they asked, well, they asked a lot of things,
but let me get you to the let me get
you to the stuff that's important here. In case you're
doubting the balance of this, just let me get okay,
(13:20):
They asked, who did you vote for in the presidential election? Well,
fifty nine percent said Kamala Harris, thirty eight percent said Trump.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
That's pretty close.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
That's pretty close to the final outcome, all right, fifty
nine to thirty eight. And then they also wanted to
know what party you were registered in. Fifty percent said Democrat,
twenty nine percent said republican, twenty percent said independent. Again
pretty close. So it wasn't overweighted with Republicans and independents,
was not underweighted with Democrats, and it produced results in
(13:57):
the seventies and eighties when it came people, when it
came to people being unhappy with the way certain issues
are playing out here in California, which means the conditions
are ripe to have a candidate here in Los Angeles
and in Sacramento that starts to drastically change the direction
(14:18):
we're going it because people have had it with woke
progressive politics here in California. Even it did seem like
in the last couple of months much of the rest
of the country was enjoying a big party. Finally, illegal
aliens getting deported. Finally action is being taken when it
(14:44):
when it comes to cutting the government down to size,
most people are support that. I know if you watch
regular media, you hear all these criticisms of Trump and
Elon Musk. The polling indicates that people again in the
seventies and eighties, in a percentage range, want all those
(15:05):
people to ported. They want the government cut dramatically. They do.
And here in California. I always wonder are people just stry?
I mean, are they designed differently? Do people in California
have different genetics? Why would they put up with all
this filth, Why would they put up with the high
cost of everything? Well, it turns out they don't want
(15:27):
to anymore, because now forty eight percent of likely voters
say they'd consider voting for a Republican and again eighty
three percent gas too high, Seventy three percent they want
Prop thirty six fully funded. Seventy two percent says homeless
still a big problem. And it goes on and on here.
So this is a tipping point has been reached. We've
(15:50):
arrived at a turning point now where not just bare majorities,
but super majorities in the seventies and eighties have said
aenough is enough. Here I'll give you an example. Here's
another question. Do you support or oppose free healthcare to
illegal aliens funded by taxpayer dollars?
Speaker 2 (16:11):
How about this?
Speaker 3 (16:14):
Sixty percent, sixty one percent say a pose, sixty one
percent say a pose. Only thirty one percent support sanctuary policy.
Fifty five percent oppose. Only forty one percent support, so
(16:40):
Prop thirty six huge, seventy three percent support. Do you
support current tax rates under California's Democratic leadership? No, taxes
are too high and hurting residents fifty four percent. It's
(17:02):
across the board. All these left wing progressive policies rejected,
rejected in great numbers. Now you need candidates to implement
a new way you need candidates to run for office governor,
mayor the legislature. I don't know about the city council
here in LA. It's going in the other direction. It's
(17:24):
more socialists.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
But you know La.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
You know, California is a big place. You can move
out of LA and go to somewhere normal. You know,
this is a big deal. And I don't know if
there are Republican candidates, independent candidates, a different kind of
democratic candidate who sees this and says, you know what,
I can do this. I can run on these issues,
(17:48):
and I can win, and we can start knocking out
some of this progressive garbage that has infested our lives
and caused us so much misery. The progressive movement has
got to end. It's got to end now. And we
just need some candidates here because the public's ready. You
look at this poll. The public's absolutely ready. They're starving.
(18:12):
Right person shows up and can articulate it and has
some passion and energy and intelligence, especially the intelligence. All right,
we come back, Daniel Guss, and it looks like Patrick
soon Young and the La Times left the printing plant
in downtown LA left behind a big, disgusting mess and
(18:36):
didn't pay rent and they've been hit with a twenty
four million dollar lawsuit by the landlord. So who So
Daniel Gus, the journalist, coming up next.
Speaker 4 (18:44):
You're listening to John Cobbel's on Demand from KFI Am sixty.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
We're on every day from one until four and after
four o'clock John Cobelt Show on demand. Hey Voice, Slide's
coming back eight seven seven Moist eighty six on Friday
eight seven seven mois staighty six. So usually talkback feature
on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
So that's exciting. We uh.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
The funny story came out today in the New York
Post of all places, is that the La Times has
been hit with a twenty four million dollar lawsuit.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
What a bad tenant.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
They didn't pay rent, They left the printing plant covered
in toxic ink stains. They moved out last year, and
the lawsuit says they left the place a terrible mess, disaster.
So Daniel Guss, and you can read his stuff on substack,
is here with us to explain what he knows. Daniel,
(19:39):
how are you?
Speaker 1 (19:41):
Oh? Good? John? I mean, it is a gift that
this happens on Saint Patrick's Day, isn't it?
Speaker 3 (19:48):
Oh? Yeah, no, the holidays are always slow. But this
is this is wonderful.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
And Patrickson I meant Saint Patrick's tent Sewn's nightmare. Oh my,
oh my god. Man, have you seen the photos of this,
of this printing place plant at the LA Times, Like
now that basically print newspapers are going away with everybody's,
(20:16):
you know, elderly relatives. The La Times has been printing
its print version at this plant. It's about a five
mile drive south of Dodger Stadium. We've about three and
a half four miles as the crow flies kind of
sort of where the ten and the one ten and
(20:38):
the one on one where they all kind of.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
Oh yeah, I think you could still you could still
see the name on the on the building.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Yeah, I mean the last time I was there, I
could see it. And the according to the lawsuit, at least,
I should say, according to the New York Post, which
I want to point out, John, I don't see this
story in the La Times. So is there some sort
of prohibition of The Times not being able to report
on itself? Because I'm looking if it's there, I haven't
(21:10):
found it. So anyway the paper was supposed to I
guess they terminated their lease a year ago last March.
They were supposed to be out at the end of
last August, but didn't leave until sometime in late September.
And it looks like a squid and an octopus had
(21:33):
won the hell of a drunken vendor going on there
because the place is covered in black ink. It looks
like the walls are broken out. There's all sorts of
infrastructure damage there, and it was so severe according to
the lawsuit, although Sun Shawn's lawyers call it meritless that
(21:58):
must have taken right, I don't think so. The photos
that I saw looked like a crime scene.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
Uh yeah, this is it.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
It really does look it does look like criminal gangs
would hold hostages in this kind of room.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
I think they would do that.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
But it's like a dungeon, right, Yeah, it's like a dungeon,
and there is black ink everywhere. And in the contract
they were supposed to leave it in good condition.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Right or restore right, restore it to good condition, and
it apparently took up so much time to restore it,
which Sun Shung apparently didn't do that it has cost
the landlord to whom he sold it and for whom
he became a tenant after selling it a real estate
(22:48):
company called Alameda. Then it took so long that Alameda
lost rent on the time it took to repair the place.
But for the LA Times, I mean, maybe it's in
the technicalities of the lease agreement, but meritless, I don't know.
But the big takeaway, John, how come it's not in
(23:10):
the LA Times?
Speaker 2 (23:13):
And how come they weren't paying the rent?
Speaker 1 (23:17):
Right?
Speaker 3 (23:18):
Right?
Speaker 1 (23:19):
I mean, here's so much in Los Angeles every day
at LA City Council landlord tenant dispute, landlord tenant dispute.
Who's gonna think that the richest guy in LA despite
his owning The La Times, he's apparently still the richest
guy in LA that a billionaire would be the tenant
being sued by his landlord.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
More than twenty million dollars in holdover rent and millions
of dollars to return the plant in its original condition.
I don't know what's going on. Let's see one of
these tenants. You know, sometimes tenants, when they know they're
gonna move, they just don't pay the last few months,
knowing it'll take too long to get evicted, and then
(24:00):
they just leave down and disappear, although in this case
some Times can't really disappear very far.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
Right, they're over in what does it smell? Segunda right now?
And I'm like, holy smokes, and it's just like, you
know what, it's another layer of the onion that's coming
undone here. Because I said, I've been watching newspapers, you know,
fall by the wayside, at least in terms of their value,
for twenty thirty years. And for some reason, I said
(24:31):
it years ago and anybody with common sense he overpaid
by hundreds of millions of dollars for this organization in
a dying industry. And I'll be honest with you, I
don't think the Only Times is worth a dollar given attention,
obligations and anything else.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
You know, it's just a coat of arms. It's like
an old rich British family that had its heyday and
they were lords and barons and they had hundreds of
millions of dollars, and then the succeeding generations were filled
drunks and drug addicts and they blew the money and
at the end, that's all. It's a coat of arms.
That's what the La Times nameplate is. It signifies nothing.
(25:10):
A glorious past maybe, but nothing because they had squandered.
They squandered all their credibility, they squandered their subscribers, they
squandered their advertising base. You know, it's like a fourth
generation Kennedy, Right, that's a good analogy.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
Yeah. I don't feel bad for a guy who's worth
that money. But he bought into the La Times at
a time when the industry his advisors should have said, hey,
wait a minute, this thing isn't worth anywhere near what
you're paying for it. And he's had nothing but head
eggs ever since. I think he's known his seventh year
(25:47):
and I think he's about almost sixty three years old,
and who needs this. He's been talking, you know, the
right things now, but I think it's too little.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
Too late.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
I have a feeling that they're let me well, feeling
that he can't even find a buyer that he would
sell it to be good.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
But the reps, because they haven't.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
Their staff is made up of what you probably run
into them. It's it's a lot of young people, uh.
And I see their bios. Their last stop was at
a community college, or maybe they were an intern at
a TV station out in the Inland empire. I mean,
you don't have people h cycling in from the Wall
Street Journal and the New York Times or Newsweek magazine
(26:27):
like it used to be. Now it's local communications graduates,
and the writing is awful, the news judgment is awful,
and it's it's hardly even worth talking about it anymore.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
It's dead, right, And why should some of us who
do follow it, because this is what you and I do?
Why should we know the sexual preference or orientation of
the reporters at the LA Times, not the columnists, not
the people who give the opinions for a living. They
are more focused or have been more focused on their
their personal references. They're pronouns, and this is the consequence,
(27:04):
like who's minding who's minding the store? And now this
is aside from everything else, John, it's a really bad
look for Patricksons young.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
It's you know what it's.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
It's it's left over from a fatish era that is
passed now, a fatish era where people got overheated about
their pronouns, and now it just looks stupid. It's it's like,
you know what, guys used to wear leisure suits decades ago, right,
and then ten years later they look in the photos
and go, oh my god, well, why did I wear that?
Speaker 2 (27:37):
That's the same thing, right, the comb over.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
Yes, And I'll be honest, and I'll be honest with you.
It's this type of circumstances, that type of environment at
the LA Times, though, I think enable. I'm not blaming
the great Los Angeles inferno on the LA Times, but
it's the kind of thing where if they had full
staff and they had real intrepid reporting, we would have
found out about these conditions, possibly possibly before the inferno
(28:05):
took place and the lives were ruined. And it is
more reactionary than proactive in my opinion. And I'm biased
as hell about it, but I but I call them
as I see him as you do.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
Well, Daniel, thank you very much for.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
Coming on anytime. John'll tuk you soon.
Speaker 3 (28:21):
I think it's going out of business. I think it
has been for a long time. We coming up after
two o'clock. Yeah, Carl Demio, he blew the whistle on
this week's ago the cost of illegal alien healthcare in California.
It's now three and a half billion dollars above their estimate.
And now Gavin Newsom and the state has to borrow
(28:45):
the three billion dollars they have to borrow three billion
dollars because we don't have Apparently we're not paying enough
in taxes to cover a legal alien credle to grave Healthcare.
Who would have thought that's coming up?
Speaker 2 (28:57):
After two?
Speaker 4 (28:58):
You're listening to Cobel's on demand from KFI AM sixty.
Speaker 3 (29:04):
John Cobelt cho k f I AM six forty Live
everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. All right, well, we were
just had Daniel Gusson and we were talking about the
La Times and they're getting sued for twenty four million
dollars because they left their printing press plant such a disaster,
(29:26):
so much damage was done to the building that the
landlord is suing Patrick Schun Suncheon for twenty four million.
And we're talking about just how the paper is just
non existent compared to what it used to be. It's
and the reporters are very young, and you go to
their bios you see what they write about, and it's
all about their personal pronouns and their sexual preferences. And
(29:48):
I told him, I got this is part of what's
now a bygone era, the bygone era of progressive insanity.
But there are some remnants, and in New Jersey they're
dealing with it. Imagine you're a mom in you're a
mom and dad in New Jersey. Actually, you're having a
new baby, all right. You go to the New Jersey hospital,
(30:10):
you give birth to a new baby, and you get
a questionnaire from the hospital in spirra of health. Is
the name of the organization that requires new parents? Well,
I'll give you the title of it, Sexual Orientation and
(30:31):
Gender Identity Questionnaire. This is what you get for a
baby who's a few hours old. This is the first
piece of paperwork that the parent has to fill out
on the infant's behalf. So imagine you have a little
eight pound baby lying there, barely open, its eyes, squealing,
covered in placenta and blood, waving its arms and legs.
(30:57):
They're handed a questionnaire. How do I identify your baby?
These are the real options. I'm not making this up. Male, female, transgender, gender,
queer or additional gender category.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
Okay, how would you know that? At that time? It's
a law, but that makes zero sense. You would not
know those. You can't answer that. The baby doesn't even
know it exists. You would only know a male or
a female by looking at the private parts. Wait, there's
a second question.
Speaker 3 (31:34):
It further asked parents to select the word that best
describes their infant Lesbian, are gay, straight, or heterosexual? Self described,
questioning or unsure.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
This is a newborn baby.
Speaker 3 (31:48):
We're talking a newborn baby. Just slit out the shoot.
Just this is still you don't like the term split
out the shoot. I know I saw you flinch there
of that either. It's a healthcare system that operates four hospitals,
two cancer centers, and eight health centers. They created the
(32:10):
form last year to comply with a new Jersey law
that required healthcare providers to collect race, ethnicity, sexual orientation,
and gender identity, and this hospital group extended it to newborns.
One mother said, if I was told to fill this out,
I'd rip it up right in front of them. We've
(32:32):
entered the twilight zone. Here's another mom. I get to
think my baby as gay on day one is insane.
I had no idea about this form.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
I'm shocked.
Speaker 3 (32:46):
You imagined, she says. I know you're as a mom myself.
I know you're exhausted after giving birth. You've got a
crying newborn and you're trying to figure out how to
feed it. To be handed that sort of form in
the midst of all this that has no medical value.
Speaker 2 (32:59):
It makes no Yeah, I wouldn't be signing it either,
And she.
Speaker 3 (33:03):
Put it on Facebook and nobody believed it. They all
thought it was some kind of joke.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
But uh, somebody screwed up here, because that's that that
is so stupid. Two State Senators Joseph Cryon and Angela
McKnight Democrats, introduced the bill June twenty third, twenty and
twenty two, and they have now refused to comment. There's
no possible way.
Speaker 3 (33:30):
I mean, we're talking newborns, So somebody screwed up you
guys that you needed to include newborns.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
So you got to stand over the newborn and go
gay straight cry once, what's for gay?
Speaker 3 (33:45):
Right?
Speaker 1 (33:45):
Twice?
Speaker 2 (33:46):
Straight straight, and then transgender three times. I mean, I
don't know actual law in the stand in New Jersey.
Speaker 3 (33:56):
