Speaker 1 (00:00):
Can if I am six forty you're listening to the
John Cobel podcast on the iHeartRadio app The John Cobelt Show.
I'm gonna be looking at myself now. I didn't know this.
They set up a laptop computer. We're experimenting with video transmission.
Eric explained this to.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Me, Well, it's got to be on the camera's got
to be on you so you can be seen. Right.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
Oh, I see, and then I've got to so I've
got to look at myself now I'm distracting myself.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
No, I'm just I'm kidding. I didn't notice it.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
I didn't notice it until I looked up and started
talking and I realized my hand motions were in sync
with this other guy's hand motions on the screen.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
And I'm looking at It's like, oh's that? Oh that's me?
All right. Anyway, I'm gonna be I'm gonna be out
of whack for a while. Finally you're back, Yeah, finally,
I know.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
I was in Florida the last two weeks. One week
I worked out of Florida, and then one week I
didn't work. I didn't do anything, and well nothing life
was there. My son came down to visit so but
I say this every time we go to Florida because
we do have a second home there. That is the
most pleasant, well run, safe, free state that I've ever
(01:14):
been in my life. It reminds me very much of
California back when we moved here many years ago. Florida
definitely has the vibe that California had back in the nineties.
And for anybody who ever tries to downplay all the
insanity going on here, it's like you have to get
away from it for a week or two and it's like,
(01:36):
oh wow, I remember living this way. I mean, I
remember we were walking around eleven o'clock at night, you know,
after dinner, and there were no crazy people, nobody menacing,
nobody half naked, bent over from fentanyl, squatting and taking
(01:57):
a dump, none of that.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
How boring, I know it almost, But what is this Disneyland?
Speaker 1 (02:03):
I And it actually it's actually when you spend too
much time in an insane asylum, as we all do,
and I'm convinced that most people don't even realize how
insane it is anymore, because human nature is very adaptable
and people will get used to almost anything. I mean,
(02:23):
I mean, you know, like in wartime. I remember, I
remember seeing old footage World War two when London is
being bombed by the Nazis, and how after the shak
War off people just got up to work every day, uh,
and dressed up and put on their their jackets and
ties and their dresses and their overcoats and hats and
(02:46):
walk to work. That's where the old stiff upper lip attitude.
That's when I first became familiar with it. And and
they just they just ignored the Nazis bombing the hell
out of their town. And I think the Ukrainians a
certain extent are living that right now. You know, the
Russians have been destroying Ukraine for so long. And then yeah,
all right, I still got to go to work today,
(03:07):
I got to feed the family. And I think that's
what's happened here is that people don't realize you're living
in an outdoor mental institution.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
So very refreshing to go away.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
As soon as I got to Florida, first gas station
sign a price sign, I saw it was three seventy five.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Oh please don't rub it down.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
And then after about a week it's shot up to
four h five. And that was concerning come back to California.
Right driving in from the airport, first gas station, I
see six sixty five. I was like, oh Jesus, that
was just a random set six sixty five.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
It was three seventy four in Austin, Texas this weekend
when I was there.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Oh, I saw you you sent that. Yeah, so yeah,
Florida was three seventy five. So that was the price
last week in the rest of the country. And then
you come here and oh, and that reminds me. And
maybe I'll get into this in the next segment, because
(04:08):
the last barrel of oil to come from the Middle
East arrived in California because of the problem. And I
know that Trump is saying they're going to be opening
the Strait of Hormoz, They're going to be guiding ships out,
So we'll see. There's been a lot of announcements that
haven't panned out obviously, and I think I think two
(04:30):
ships got through today, and they have hundreds of oil
tankers and cargo ships backed up. But you know, if
if things start flowing, literally, if the ships start flowing
out of the Strait of Hormoz, then the oil and
gas will start flowing again and the prices will come
down significantly. Having said all that, it's still an extra
(04:51):
two bucks here, then in most other states it's still
an extra two dollars worth of taxes. And because of
the war or those oil tankers and cargo ships have
been tied up for a couple of months now there's
hundreds of them. And it because Gavin Newsom shut down
(05:11):
the oil production in this state. I mean it's literal,
it's down to practically nothing. We told you the oil
pipeline shut itself down because there's no oil in it.
We are completely at the mercy of world events and
stuff is always going to happen, especially in the Middle East.
(05:31):
And what he's done is so overwhelmingly absurdly irresponsible and foolish.
And why is this isn't talked about morning tonight by
by everybody? I don't know. Again, I think we have, well,
what is that Stockholm syndrome? You start developing affection for
(05:53):
your captor after a while. I think that's what a
lot of the public caz here. I mean every time
there's a political article and I read some of the
comments still supporting this democratic legislature and the governor and
this THEFF and I'm thinking, wow, this is this is
(06:14):
a cult or this is Stockholm syndrome and people are
captives and they started identifying with the cap doors and
they've lost their minds. And then really, because I like
I like the airport. In the last two months, I've
gone through six other airports Phoenix, Houston, Sarasota, Tampa, Charlotte.
(06:38):
I think there's another one. I'm not thinking of it.
In any event, they all are all unbelievably pleasant, easy
to navigate, laid out in a rational way. We got
to La last night. It's like, what the hell, Like,
what in the what are they doing here? Who designed this?
(07:03):
And how come it keeps getting worse and worse and worse.
Oh my god. And we were stuck in traffic. We
had an Uber pick us up and we're stuck in
traffic Friday, about a half an hour in the inner circle,
and I'm looking over at, you know, the two close
lanes to the curb, the ones that are close to
the terminal, completely empty. These are the ones for the
(07:25):
buses and vans that nobody takes. And then everything else
is jammed into the other four lanes between the island
and then the parking garages. The short term garages. And
I can't tell you how many thousands of cars last night,
late at night, because we didn't get out of there
after ten thirty are jammed between the island and the
(07:46):
parking garages. Meantime, two completely empty lanes to the right,
just a few scattered vans or buses. Nobody's on them,
absolutely nobody. And I'm thinking, why why would you do this? This?
Speaker 2 (08:04):
This?
Speaker 1 (08:05):
This doesn't make sense in so many ways, And I'm thinking,
are they this stupid? Because they're trying to promote people
to to take well, you a I looked up and
I looked at that that people mover. The people mover
is still not moving. That thing is still locked in
place after all this time.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
And you just realize, I'm my god, there's nothing. Nothing
works here, nothing works on purpose.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
Because they all know everybody works at the airport, right
they peep them into the management what are that World
Airports is Association? What the hell they call themselves? They
know the place doesn't work.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
I don't care.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
It doesn't matter to them. They're getting paid. They're making
hundreds of thousands of dollars. Yikes, all right, So anyway,
I got to get that out of my system. Because
I was just marveling. And my wife says to me,
it's like kind of challenges me to make an argument
not to live in Florida as opposed to California. Really,
oh yeah, and actually I don't have one other than
(09:05):
my work here, right, and all my friends.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
And you, yeah, and you give me plenty of notice. No, no, no,
don't worry, plenty of not.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
I'm just saying, on an intellectual level, if you held
looked at the California here on the left and Florida
on the right and say, well, what's the argument, there
is no argument. Florida is overwhelmingly one hundred percent absolutely
more pleasant and civilized and fun and free and low
taxes and low crime, no homeless overwhelmingly. I'm Ron DeSantis.
(09:41):
I don't know what his future is, but he ought
to be running something big.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
He is.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
He's the best governor I have ever seen in my
life in Florida. And I know he's not the most
like likable PERSONA gets it done. He just absolutely gets
it done and absolutely demolishes annihilates Gavin Newsom in terms
of competency. And you know, anybody disagree, let me take
(10:07):
you on a tour. I would say a word. I'll
just walk you around, all right at any event. I
am here today, and when we come back, what did
I say? I wanted to do the oil?
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Thank you. Somebody's gonna have to keep me on track today.
It's not me, clearly, I don't know where you are.
I'll try.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Yes, we're going to talk about the last barrel of
oil coming to California from the Middle East.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
So this is a big day. California Post calls it doomsday.
The last barrel of oil from the Middle East has
arrived at the port of Long Beach since the Iran
War kicked off. As I mentioned in the last segment,
you know about the oil tankers and the cargo ships
(11:04):
have been stuck there for two months, hundreds and hundreds
of them. The last one that made it out came
to the Port of Long Beach two million gallons, two
million barrels that they're going to convert into gasoline and
diesel and jet fuel. There are no more vessels currently
(11:25):
in route, and unfortunately, because of Gavin Usom's policies, we
rely thirty percent of the foreign crude oil in California
comes from the Persian Gulf thirty percent of the far
and oil supply, which by the way, is huge, we
(11:45):
produce very little now because of Gavinusom and the Democratic
policies just incredibly stupid. I can't tell you how much
oil we have underground in this state. It is one
of the large just reserves in the whole country. I
could give you the billions of barrels, but it wouldn't
(12:07):
mean anything to you. It's massive. It would keep us
humming for a long long time. In fact, because we
have so much oil underground, think the Bakersfield area. They
never built oil pipelines from other states. You know, if
you go back to the East coast, there are oil
(12:28):
pipelines that come out of the Gulf of Mexico region
and then head up to the north and the East
and supplies oil to many many states. We never had
that because ah, California has got its own supply. You
go back twenty five years, thirty years, we had forty
(12:48):
three refineries, and now because of Gaven Us and Jerry
Brown stupid policies, we've got six. The last two closed
within the last few months. That was almost twenty percent
of our refining capacity to turn oil into gas and
(13:11):
do some simply, and the Democrats simply won't allow new
oil to be produced. So we really are screwed. And
that's why the gas is six six six sixty five here.
Like I said, I saw that with my own eyes
and it was three seventy five in Florida. Oh my god,
that is like a three buck difference. Wow, six sixty
five to three seventy five. I saw this with my eyes.
(13:39):
So there's no more vessels coming. I don't know how
high the gas is going to go. The last ship
was from a Hong Kong flagship called New Corolla, loaded
up on oil in a rock on February twenty fourth,
right before the war broke out. And they saw that
ship unloading the oil in Law Beach. It's now the
(14:01):
oil is going to spend. It's not gonna spend two
weeks unloading at the Marathon Petroleum Terminal, then leave California
and we're going to be wondering how to replace it.
We we pump out very little oil in the state.
We don't have pipelines to get it from other states.
(14:23):
The California Post says the Golden State is particularly vulnerable
because it's an isolated energy island without gas pipelines. So
when you have that geographical anomaly, and of course again
it was on purpose, no need for pipelines, we make
plenty of our own. Credibly stupid. The Western States Petroleum Association,
(14:50):
which is the trade group, said this shows were the
recklessness of California's policy of intentionally outsourcing our energy infrastruaterture
to other parts of the world. California's economy depends on
a reliable supply of fuel. By the way, we use
about the same amount of oil as we did twenty
(15:12):
and thirty years ago. We do we don't use any less.
Nothing's changed despite all the overheated rhetoric and pie in
the sky utopian fantasies. We still use a tremendous amount
of oil. There's no other way to have them on
our society. Chevron says, we believe many years of Sacramento's
(15:32):
adversarial policies towards refining and energy production have left the
state at the end of a long fragile supply chain.
California lost eighteen percent of US refining refining capacity in
just the last eight months now California imports as much
as twenty five percent of gasoline and twenty percent of
(15:52):
jet fuel from overseas refineries that depend on Mideast crude oil.
How about that, Oh, that's just the mid East chair
we I portal. I think I think it's like like
seventy percent of the oil now coming into the state
is from foreign countries. There's a Democrat who woke up
(16:13):
from a coma, David Alvarez, said, we're demanding an emergency
plan to deal with the fuel crisis. Here's the emergency plan.
All the Democratic assemblymen and state senators should fire themselves.
Actually they should all be forced aboard an oil tanker
and sent back to a rock. These people are damaging, destructive,
(16:37):
and incredibly stupid. So there's one Democrat squawking. You have
seen Gavin Newsom who has been and I'm going to
play you some of his clips from Bill Mahers show
on Friday. He is being possibly interviewed. Absolutely nobody touches
(17:03):
this oil situation because these are all progressives who interview
him either on stage, on podcasts, on TV. They're all progressives,
and none of them are going to dare challenge this
idiotic idea that we should shut down oil production in
the state.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
It's just the.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Worst situation imaginable. But hey, if six sixty five doesn't
break you, I don't know, I don't know. I guess
you're so deep into the cult you'll pay any price,
you'll bear any burden, all in service of the great Man.
When we come back, I want to talk to you.
(17:50):
I want to talk to you first. We're going to
get into this a lot in the five o'clock hour
with Roger Bailey, and he's the attorney representing all the
Palisades residents from the fire. But I want to give
you a little rundown here, because big news is another
guy waking up from a coma, had severe brain damage.
For a long time, we hadn't heard from him. Insurance
commissioner where Cardo Lara finally woke up and said they
(18:14):
have figured out that State Farm has been screwing over
all the fire victims in the Palisades, and so they're
gonna they're gonna suspend State Farm's license and find them
millions of dollars. Let me let me tell you about this.
They were Cardo Lara just noticed it. We'll talk about it.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from kf I
Am six forty.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
We're on every day from three until six, and then
after six o'clock John Cobelt Show on demand on the
iHeart app and that's where you listen to what you missed.
Coming up after four o'clock, we're going to play you
clips from Gavin Newson's appearance with Bill Maher and even
Bill Maher was too tough for Gavin Newsom to handle.
It's really funny. And I watched it over the weekend
(19:06):
online and I was like staggered. I had to watch
it like a second time because I couldn't believe the
number of lies Newsom was spewing. And the thing is,
I caught the lies while I was sitting up in
bed watching the show, and I'm thinking, oh my god,
that's a lie.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
That's a lie. That's a lie.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
Without even trying, without having any notes, without even researching
all the claims, I knew this was all nonsense. He's
I am actually in awe. I have never seen a
pathological liar the likes of Gavin Neusim in my life.
He is worse than Bill Clinton, he really is. And
(19:48):
I know Clinton was his hero. In fact, I saw
a quote the other day that his staff always knows
when Newsom has been studying Clinton. He still does to
this day. He looks at Clinton videotapes and tries to
emulate him. That's his modern day political hero. And it's like, wow,
(20:09):
he has surpassed the master. Let me tell you. So
we'll get to that after four o'clock. So we do
have an insurance commissioner, and I've told you about him,
Ricardo Lara. We've always called him cow fart Lara because
when he was in the legislature, he pushed a bill
(20:29):
that would require cows to have exhaust pipes coming out
of their anuses and take the cow exhaust and pump
it into a box that would rest on top of
the cow. You are laughing, but it's true.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
I know, you know. I got to find that.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
Story, and because it was from some years ago, because
he's been insurance commissioner now I think for seven years,
so some time before that, it was all global warming
psycho nonsense. And of course he is been the worst
insurance commissioner that any state is ever had, and all
(21:07):
he's known for is traveling around the globe on taxpayers
expense attending gay pride events basically, and that was his
big calling card, that he was the first gay insurance commissioner.
It's like, who really would care? Why all again, we
(21:27):
have an insurance commissioner who sleeps with other guys. Yeah,
do Zach get me a ten percent discount? At this point,
I think most of us would sleep with another guy
to get ten percent off our insurance bills. I'm baffled
by this anyway. Finally, after all this time, he's awakened
and they are going after State Farm. They've done an investigation,
(21:55):
and I know they found shocking things. State Farm engaged
in a general practice of mishandling or intentionally underpaying wildfire claims.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
Duhh, we knew that that.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
To investigate this for a year and a half, they
found the state found three hundred and ninety eight violations
of state law. They sampled two hundred and twenty claims.
About half the claims had violations. They had three hundred
(22:26):
and ninety eight violations in the one hundred and fourteen
claim sample. Either the claims were not investigated or resolved
within required timelines. Payouts were unreasonably low, which is why
people can't rebuild policyholders were assigned to different adjusters.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
They were constant, everybody's constant being.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
Reassigned from from one blockhead to the next blockhead to
the next blockhead. And you know, insurance adjusters really charming people,
and they woul getting like like three four five of
these guys. They called it adjuster roulette. And now the
(23:17):
company defends itself by saying California's homeowers insurance market is
the most dysfunctional in the country. Well, two things can
be true. The States regulations has created created a lot
of dysfunction, and on top of that, State Farm is
screwing people and ripping them off. This is an holy
(23:40):
marriage of the incompetence of Gavenussom and Ricardo Lara and
the pure greed of State Farm. So you're you're getting
whacked from both ends. What a state farm slogan, which
I've heard since I was a kid, like a good neighbor.
(24:01):
State farmers there like a good name, you like a
good neighbor. I can't people, I can't believe people fall
for those slogans. It's like banks trying to tell you
that they're part of your family. Oh you're not. Try
(24:22):
not try being late on your mortgage for a couple
of months and see what your family member says.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
Listen.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
State Farm and Ricardo Larra and Gavin Newsom made a
homeowner's insurance deal in November of twenty twenty four, two
months before the fires. New York Times had an extremely
long expose on this. You should look it up. I
read part of it on the air sometime back. But
the gist of it is they did a rewrite of
(24:56):
the regulations and Newsom and Lara, who I don't think
you hit triple digits on the IQ meter if you
combine their IQs. Ricardo and Lara thought they had a
deal that was going to force State force, State Farm
and the rest of the companies to offer insurance to
(25:17):
most homeowners at a more reasonable price. And it completely failed.
What they did. And I don't know if they did
this on purpose or they're stupid or both, but they
did the deal and State Farmed the other companies ended
up taking advantage of huge loopholes that allowed these companies
(25:39):
to throw thousands of homeowners off their insurance. This is
November of twenty twenty four, two months before the fires.
A lot of people were thrown off their insurance. Some
of them didn't even know they got thrown into California's
Fair Plan, which is a complete bankrupt disaster. Lara also
manages that so I know it's reelection here and all
(26:02):
the Democratic parasites that are running for reelection want to
point to, Oh, we've done an investigation and the insurance
commissioner has found the insurance Commissioner and k Newsom created this.
The legislature allowed this to happen, but they created the problem.
(26:23):
And yes, the insurance companies are ruthless, horrific greed bags.
It's all true, though, it's all true. I'm insurance companies
give capitalism a really, really, really bad name. There's no
way to argue against that. Psych Health insurance companies, Okay,
(26:46):
they all treat most of us very badly. I don't
know how to fix it, but I'm just saying what
I again see with my own eyes. Insurance companies in
this state are abusive. They rip people off, They ruined
people's lives, and the state creates the environment where they
can do it. Even when they claim that they fixed
(27:09):
the problem, they should all rot in hell. When we
come back along those lines. The Palisades Arsonist, the guy
who originally started the New Year's Day fire. Jonathan render Connect. Well,
(27:31):
his hero in life was Luigi Mangioni, who killed the
healthcare executive in New York City. Well, render Connect wanted
to be like Luigi Mangoni. That and a lot of
other things going on in his life led him to
set the fire. The prosecutors have laid out their case.
I'll tell you about it when we come back.
Speaker 3 (27:53):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI six.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
We are on every day from three to six and
then after six o'clock John Cobelt Show on Demand. Follow
us on social media at John Cobelt Radio at John
Cobelt Radio, and subscribe on YouTube. We'll put another video
on tonight. YouTube dot com. Slash at John Cobelt Show
YouTube dot com. Slash at John Cobelt Show. If you
got out of the habit because I was on vacation,
(28:19):
get back in the habit immediately.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
All right.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
This was uh, this came out over the weekend. The
guy who started the original fire in the Palisades. It
was because he didn't have a date for New Year's Eve.
If you believe the prosecutors here, Jonathan Rinder Connect an
Uber driver. He was driving his Uber that night, and
(28:48):
the prosecutors have interviewed a lot of people, and apparently
render connects uber passengers said he was angry, intense, driving
erradically and ranting about being pissed off at the world.
Number one reason, I very rarely take an Uber and
if I do, I pay the exorbitant price for one
(29:08):
of those black car Ubers. I just do not want
to ever go into a random car because you get
guys like this, he said. According to the prosecutors, on
the night of New Year's Eve, Renderconnect was upset about
a relationship with a former coworker. He had dated her
(29:31):
for a time in March of twenty twenty four, and
sent her a message what are you doing New Year's Eve?
In return, she asked for space.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
That would be a no. I guess, huh, I need
some space. Gee.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
I don't know why she wasn't eager now had she
said yes, do you realize the palisades might be still standing?
But I guess he had picked up the bad vibe
and she wasn't going to spend one more evening with
the guy. Well kidd at render Connect had a bad
reaction and left her two voicemails, which prosecutors described as manic,
(30:15):
all right, confirming, confirming her decision. Then he calls two
other people looking for company on New Year's Eve. They
said no, Now he's zero for three. He's really frustrated
about not having a date or a friend or anything.
In the meantime, he had fallen for Luigi Mangioni, the
(30:38):
guy who shot up the healthcare executive in New York
City killed him. And you know, they have a big
lighter that they think he used to start the fire.
Render Connect was living in North Hollywood driving ubers, and
(31:00):
the reason he went back to the Palisades he had
happier times there with an ex lover. She also got
a message the night of the fire, so it maybe
struck out with her too. A lot of exes. Have
you noticed a lot of people not taking his call?
Who is that is that? Jonathan? No?
Speaker 2 (31:18):
I don't think so, not tonight.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
But the ex never responded back, So Renderconnect. In addition
to all this rejection, because it looks like he went
over four, he was resentful of the rich enjoying their money,
as we're basically being enslaved by them. This is what
(31:45):
he told investigators after they caught him. So he wanted
to burn the Palisades. Is too many rich people enjoying
their money. They looked at his search records. He had
searched free Luigi Mangione. He also had searched let's take
down all the billionaires. He looked on Reddit, Let's kill
(32:06):
all the billionaires. I am astonished all this anger towards billionaires.
I have no idea. Well, let's take Jeff Bezos as
an example. He's one of my favorite billionaires because the
guy started Amazon, which is extremely useful. Started it out
of a garage. He like rented garage space at somebody's house,
(32:30):
and there was nothing but him and a card table
and a vinyl banner he had printed up that said Amazon.
And he started by selling books, as you know, and
then it turned into everything. And so now he's worth
a billion dollars. I am not I've never been offended
that he's a billionaire and he's got yachts, and I
don't understand. It's like, Wow, that's pretty cool. Doesn't anybody say, hey,
(32:55):
wish I'd thought of that. Hey I really like his service,
that that really been a positive impact on my line.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
What does it it doesn't cost you anything.
Speaker 1 (33:05):
In fact, he gets you lower prices than you'd get
at the store, and he saves you the cost of
driving and and and paying for gas. Does I don't
understand you save time, You save money on gas. The
prices of the goods are cheap and the what you
get at the stores. What are you mad at him for?
Because he makes it makes a big profit off of
(33:26):
this who was a billion It's like, yeah, he's a
billionaire because he founded a business that I don't know,
it's probably worth trillions. What's wrong with you? Why don't
you go out and do something. I can't get over this.
I really cannot get over the hatred of the billionaires. Yeah,
there's a few crooks in there, but overall, I sick sick, sick,
(33:54):
sick sick society when you when you start trying to
kill people because because somebody successful and you're a loser.
This guy is such a loser. He was He was
a bad uber driver. He frightened all his passengers. So
the crazy uber driver is angry with the guy who
starts one of the greatest companies of the twenty first century. Yeah, okay,
(34:20):
when we come back, Oh, it's Gavin Newso Time on
Bill Maher Friday, We'll tell you about It, Debora Mark
Live and you Can't Fight twenty four hour Newsroom. You've
been listening to The John Cobelt Show podcast. You can
always hear the show live on KFI AM six forty
from three to six pm every Monday through Friday, and
of course anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio
Speaker 3 (34:41):
App KFI Am six More stimulating talk
Can if I am six forty you're listening to the
John Cobel podcast on the iHeartRadio app The John Cobelt Show.
I'm gonna be looking at myself now. I didn't know this.
They set up a laptop computer. We're experimenting with video transmission.
Eric explained this to.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Me, Well, it's got to be on the camera's got
to be on you so you can be seen. Right.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
Oh, I see, and then I've got to so I've
got to look at myself now I'm distracting myself.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
No, I'm just I'm kidding. I didn't notice it.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
I didn't notice it until I looked up and started
talking and I realized my hand motions were in sync
with this other guy's hand motions on the screen.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
And I'm looking at It's like, oh's that? Oh that's me?
All right. Anyway, I'm gonna be I'm gonna be out
of whack for a while. Finally you're back, Yeah, finally,
I know.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
I was in Florida the last two weeks. One week
I worked out of Florida, and then one week I
didn't work. I didn't do anything, and well nothing life
was there. My son came down to visit so but
I say this every time we go to Florida because
we do have a second home there. That is the
most pleasant, well run, safe, free state that I've ever
(01:14):
been in my life. It reminds me very much of
California back when we moved here many years ago. Florida
definitely has the vibe that California had back in the nineties.
And for anybody who ever tries to downplay all the
insanity going on here, it's like you have to get
away from it for a week or two and it's like,
(01:36):
oh wow, I remember living this way. I mean, I
remember we were walking around eleven o'clock at night, you know,
after dinner, and there were no crazy people, nobody menacing,
nobody half naked, bent over from fentanyl, squatting and taking
(01:57):
a dump, none of that.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
How boring, I know it almost, But what is this Disneyland?
Speaker 1 (02:03):
I And it actually it's actually when you spend too
much time in an insane asylum, as we all do,
and I'm convinced that most people don't even realize how
insane it is anymore, because human nature is very adaptable
and people will get used to almost anything. I mean,
(02:23):
I mean, you know, like in wartime. I remember, I
remember seeing old footage World War two when London is
being bombed by the Nazis, and how after the shak
War off people just got up to work every day, uh,
and dressed up and put on their their jackets and
ties and their dresses and their overcoats and hats and
(02:46):
walk to work. That's where the old stiff upper lip attitude.
That's when I first became familiar with it. And and
they just they just ignored the Nazis bombing the hell
out of their town. And I think the Ukrainians a
certain extent are living that right now. You know, the
Russians have been destroying Ukraine for so long. And then yeah,
all right, I still got to go to work today,
(03:07):
I got to feed the family. And I think that's
what's happened here is that people don't realize you're living
in an outdoor mental institution.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
So very refreshing to go away.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
As soon as I got to Florida, first gas station
sign a price sign, I saw it was three seventy five.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Oh please don't rub it down.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
And then after about a week it's shot up to
four h five. And that was concerning come back to California.
Right driving in from the airport, first gas station, I
see six sixty five. I was like, oh Jesus, that
was just a random set six sixty five.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
It was three seventy four in Austin, Texas this weekend
when I was there.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Oh, I saw you you sent that. Yeah, so yeah,
Florida was three seventy five. So that was the price
last week in the rest of the country. And then
you come here and oh, and that reminds me. And
maybe I'll get into this in the next segment, because
(04:08):
the last barrel of oil to come from the Middle
East arrived in California because of the problem. And I
know that Trump is saying they're going to be opening
the Strait of Hormoz, They're going to be guiding ships out,
So we'll see. There's been a lot of announcements that
haven't panned out obviously, and I think I think two
(04:30):
ships got through today, and they have hundreds of oil
tankers and cargo ships backed up. But you know, if
if things start flowing, literally, if the ships start flowing
out of the Strait of Hormoz, then the oil and
gas will start flowing again and the prices will come
down significantly. Having said all that, it's still an extra
(04:51):
two bucks here, then in most other states it's still
an extra two dollars worth of taxes. And because of
the war or those oil tankers and cargo ships have
been tied up for a couple of months now there's
hundreds of them. And it because Gavin Newsom shut down
(05:11):
the oil production in this state. I mean it's literal,
it's down to practically nothing. We told you the oil
pipeline shut itself down because there's no oil in it.
We are completely at the mercy of world events and
stuff is always going to happen, especially in the Middle East.
(05:31):
And what he's done is so overwhelmingly absurdly irresponsible and foolish.
And why is this isn't talked about morning tonight by
by everybody? I don't know. Again, I think we have, well,
what is that Stockholm syndrome? You start developing affection for
(05:53):
your captor after a while. I think that's what a
lot of the public caz here. I mean every time
there's a political article and I read some of the
comments still supporting this democratic legislature and the governor and
this THEFF and I'm thinking, wow, this is this is
(06:14):
a cult or this is Stockholm syndrome and people are
captives and they started identifying with the cap doors and
they've lost their minds. And then really, because I like
I like the airport. In the last two months, I've
gone through six other airports Phoenix, Houston, Sarasota, Tampa, Charlotte.
(06:38):
I think there's another one. I'm not thinking of it.
In any event, they all are all unbelievably pleasant, easy
to navigate, laid out in a rational way. We got
to La last night. It's like, what the hell, Like,
what in the what are they doing here? Who designed this?
(07:03):
And how come it keeps getting worse and worse and worse.
Oh my god. And we were stuck in traffic. We
had an Uber pick us up and we're stuck in
traffic Friday, about a half an hour in the inner circle,
and I'm looking over at, you know, the two close
lanes to the curb, the ones that are close to
the terminal, completely empty. These are the ones for the
(07:25):
buses and vans that nobody takes. And then everything else
is jammed into the other four lanes between the island
and then the parking garages. The short term garages. And
I can't tell you how many thousands of cars last night,
late at night, because we didn't get out of there
after ten thirty are jammed between the island and the
(07:46):
parking garages. Meantime, two completely empty lanes to the right,
just a few scattered vans or buses. Nobody's on them,
absolutely nobody. And I'm thinking, why why would you do this? This?
Speaker 2 (08:04):
This?
Speaker 1 (08:05):
This doesn't make sense in so many ways, And I'm thinking,
are they this stupid? Because they're trying to promote people
to to take well, you a I looked up and
I looked at that that people mover. The people mover
is still not moving. That thing is still locked in
place after all this time.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
And you just realize, I'm my god, there's nothing. Nothing
works here, nothing works on purpose.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
Because they all know everybody works at the airport, right
they peep them into the management what are that World
Airports is Association? What the hell they call themselves? They
know the place doesn't work.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
I don't care.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
It doesn't matter to them. They're getting paid. They're making
hundreds of thousands of dollars. Yikes, all right, So anyway,
I got to get that out of my system. Because
I was just marveling. And my wife says to me,
it's like kind of challenges me to make an argument
not to live in Florida as opposed to California. Really,
oh yeah, and actually I don't have one other than
(09:05):
my work here, right, and all my friends.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
And you, yeah, and you give me plenty of notice. No, no, no,
don't worry, plenty of not.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
I'm just saying, on an intellectual level, if you held
looked at the California here on the left and Florida
on the right and say, well, what's the argument, there
is no argument. Florida is overwhelmingly one hundred percent absolutely
more pleasant and civilized and fun and free and low
taxes and low crime, no homeless overwhelmingly. I'm Ron DeSantis.
(09:41):
I don't know what his future is, but he ought
to be running something big.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
He is.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
He's the best governor I have ever seen in my
life in Florida. And I know he's not the most
like likable PERSONA gets it done. He just absolutely gets
it done and absolutely demolishes annihilates Gavin Newsom in terms
of competency. And you know, anybody disagree, let me take
(10:07):
you on a tour. I would say a word. I'll
just walk you around, all right at any event. I
am here today, and when we come back, what did
I say? I wanted to do the oil?
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Thank you. Somebody's gonna have to keep me on track today.
It's not me, clearly, I don't know where you are.
I'll try.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Yes, we're going to talk about the last barrel of
oil coming to California from the Middle East.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
So this is a big day. California Post calls it doomsday.
The last barrel of oil from the Middle East has
arrived at the port of Long Beach since the Iran
War kicked off. As I mentioned in the last segment,
you know about the oil tankers and the cargo ships
(11:04):
have been stuck there for two months, hundreds and hundreds
of them. The last one that made it out came
to the Port of Long Beach two million gallons, two
million barrels that they're going to convert into gasoline and
diesel and jet fuel. There are no more vessels currently
(11:25):
in route, and unfortunately, because of Gavin Usom's policies, we
rely thirty percent of the foreign crude oil in California
comes from the Persian Gulf thirty percent of the far
and oil supply, which by the way, is huge, we
(11:45):
produce very little now because of Gavinusom and the Democratic
policies just incredibly stupid. I can't tell you how much
oil we have underground in this state. It is one
of the large just reserves in the whole country. I
could give you the billions of barrels, but it wouldn't
(12:07):
mean anything to you. It's massive. It would keep us
humming for a long long time. In fact, because we
have so much oil underground, think the Bakersfield area. They
never built oil pipelines from other states. You know, if
you go back to the East coast, there are oil
(12:28):
pipelines that come out of the Gulf of Mexico region
and then head up to the north and the East
and supplies oil to many many states. We never had
that because ah, California has got its own supply. You
go back twenty five years, thirty years, we had forty
(12:48):
three refineries, and now because of Gaven Us and Jerry
Brown stupid policies, we've got six. The last two closed
within the last few months. That was almost twenty percent
of our refining capacity to turn oil into gas and
(13:11):
do some simply, and the Democrats simply won't allow new
oil to be produced. So we really are screwed. And
that's why the gas is six six six sixty five here.
Like I said, I saw that with my own eyes
and it was three seventy five in Florida. Oh my god,
that is like a three buck difference. Wow, six sixty
five to three seventy five. I saw this with my eyes.
(13:39):
So there's no more vessels coming. I don't know how
high the gas is going to go. The last ship
was from a Hong Kong flagship called New Corolla, loaded
up on oil in a rock on February twenty fourth,
right before the war broke out. And they saw that
ship unloading the oil in Law Beach. It's now the
(14:01):
oil is going to spend. It's not gonna spend two
weeks unloading at the Marathon Petroleum Terminal, then leave California
and we're going to be wondering how to replace it.
We we pump out very little oil in the state.
We don't have pipelines to get it from other states.
(14:23):
The California Post says the Golden State is particularly vulnerable
because it's an isolated energy island without gas pipelines. So
when you have that geographical anomaly, and of course again
it was on purpose, no need for pipelines, we make
plenty of our own. Credibly stupid. The Western States Petroleum Association,
(14:50):
which is the trade group, said this shows were the
recklessness of California's policy of intentionally outsourcing our energy infrastruaterture
to other parts of the world. California's economy depends on
a reliable supply of fuel. By the way, we use
about the same amount of oil as we did twenty
(15:12):
and thirty years ago. We do we don't use any less.
Nothing's changed despite all the overheated rhetoric and pie in
the sky utopian fantasies. We still use a tremendous amount
of oil. There's no other way to have them on
our society. Chevron says, we believe many years of Sacramento's
(15:32):
adversarial policies towards refining and energy production have left the
state at the end of a long fragile supply chain.
California lost eighteen percent of US refining refining capacity in
just the last eight months now California imports as much
as twenty five percent of gasoline and twenty percent of
(15:52):
jet fuel from overseas refineries that depend on Mideast crude oil.
How about that, Oh, that's just the mid East chair
we I portal. I think I think it's like like
seventy percent of the oil now coming into the state
is from foreign countries. There's a Democrat who woke up
(16:13):
from a coma, David Alvarez, said, we're demanding an emergency
plan to deal with the fuel crisis. Here's the emergency plan.
All the Democratic assemblymen and state senators should fire themselves.
Actually they should all be forced aboard an oil tanker
and sent back to a rock. These people are damaging, destructive,
(16:37):
and incredibly stupid. So there's one Democrat squawking. You have
seen Gavin Newsom who has been and I'm going to
play you some of his clips from Bill Mahers show
on Friday. He is being possibly interviewed. Absolutely nobody touches
(17:03):
this oil situation because these are all progressives who interview
him either on stage, on podcasts, on TV. They're all progressives,
and none of them are going to dare challenge this
idiotic idea that we should shut down oil production in
the state.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
It's just the.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Worst situation imaginable. But hey, if six sixty five doesn't
break you, I don't know, I don't know. I guess
you're so deep into the cult you'll pay any price,
you'll bear any burden, all in service of the great Man.
When we come back, I want to talk to you.
(17:50):
I want to talk to you first. We're going to
get into this a lot in the five o'clock hour
with Roger Bailey, and he's the attorney representing all the
Palisades residents from the fire. But I want to give
you a little rundown here, because big news is another
guy waking up from a coma, had severe brain damage.
For a long time, we hadn't heard from him. Insurance
commissioner where Cardo Lara finally woke up and said they
(18:14):
have figured out that State Farm has been screwing over
all the fire victims in the Palisades, and so they're
gonna they're gonna suspend State Farm's license and find them
millions of dollars. Let me let me tell you about this.
They were Cardo Lara just noticed it. We'll talk about it.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from kf I
Am six forty.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
We're on every day from three until six, and then
after six o'clock John Cobelt Show on demand on the
iHeart app and that's where you listen to what you missed.
Coming up after four o'clock, we're going to play you
clips from Gavin Newson's appearance with Bill Maher and even
Bill Maher was too tough for Gavin Newsom to handle.
It's really funny. And I watched it over the weekend
(19:06):
online and I was like staggered. I had to watch
it like a second time because I couldn't believe the
number of lies Newsom was spewing. And the thing is,
I caught the lies while I was sitting up in
bed watching the show, and I'm thinking, oh my god,
that's a lie.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
That's a lie. That's a lie.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
Without even trying, without having any notes, without even researching
all the claims, I knew this was all nonsense. He's
I am actually in awe. I have never seen a
pathological liar the likes of Gavin Neusim in my life.
He is worse than Bill Clinton, he really is. And
(19:48):
I know Clinton was his hero. In fact, I saw
a quote the other day that his staff always knows
when Newsom has been studying Clinton. He still does to
this day. He looks at Clinton videotapes and tries to
emulate him. That's his modern day political hero. And it's like, wow,
(20:09):
he has surpassed the master. Let me tell you. So
we'll get to that after four o'clock. So we do
have an insurance commissioner, and I've told you about him,
Ricardo Lara. We've always called him cow fart Lara because
when he was in the legislature, he pushed a bill
(20:29):
that would require cows to have exhaust pipes coming out
of their anuses and take the cow exhaust and pump
it into a box that would rest on top of
the cow. You are laughing, but it's true.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
I know, you know. I got to find that.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
Story, and because it was from some years ago, because
he's been insurance commissioner now I think for seven years,
so some time before that, it was all global warming
psycho nonsense. And of course he is been the worst
insurance commissioner that any state is ever had, and all
(21:07):
he's known for is traveling around the globe on taxpayers
expense attending gay pride events basically, and that was his
big calling card, that he was the first gay insurance commissioner.
It's like, who really would care? Why all again, we
(21:27):
have an insurance commissioner who sleeps with other guys. Yeah,
do Zach get me a ten percent discount? At this point,
I think most of us would sleep with another guy
to get ten percent off our insurance bills. I'm baffled
by this anyway. Finally, after all this time, he's awakened
and they are going after State Farm. They've done an investigation,
(21:55):
and I know they found shocking things. State Farm engaged
in a general practice of mishandling or intentionally underpaying wildfire claims.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
Duhh, we knew that that.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
To investigate this for a year and a half, they
found the state found three hundred and ninety eight violations
of state law. They sampled two hundred and twenty claims.
About half the claims had violations. They had three hundred
(22:26):
and ninety eight violations in the one hundred and fourteen
claim sample. Either the claims were not investigated or resolved
within required timelines. Payouts were unreasonably low, which is why
people can't rebuild policyholders were assigned to different adjusters.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
They were constant, everybody's constant being.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
Reassigned from from one blockhead to the next blockhead to
the next blockhead. And you know, insurance adjusters really charming people,
and they woul getting like like three four five of
these guys. They called it adjuster roulette. And now the
(23:17):
company defends itself by saying California's homeowers insurance market is
the most dysfunctional in the country. Well, two things can
be true. The States regulations has created created a lot
of dysfunction, and on top of that, State Farm is
screwing people and ripping them off. This is an holy
(23:40):
marriage of the incompetence of Gavenussom and Ricardo Lara and
the pure greed of State Farm. So you're you're getting
whacked from both ends. What a state farm slogan, which
I've heard since I was a kid, like a good neighbor.
(24:01):
State farmers there like a good name, you like a
good neighbor. I can't people, I can't believe people fall
for those slogans. It's like banks trying to tell you
that they're part of your family. Oh you're not. Try
(24:22):
not try being late on your mortgage for a couple
of months and see what your family member says.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
Listen.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
State Farm and Ricardo Larra and Gavin Newsom made a
homeowner's insurance deal in November of twenty twenty four, two
months before the fires. New York Times had an extremely
long expose on this. You should look it up. I
read part of it on the air sometime back. But
the gist of it is they did a rewrite of
(24:56):
the regulations and Newsom and Lara, who I don't think
you hit triple digits on the IQ meter if you
combine their IQs. Ricardo and Lara thought they had a
deal that was going to force State force, State Farm
and the rest of the companies to offer insurance to
(25:17):
most homeowners at a more reasonable price. And it completely failed.
What they did. And I don't know if they did
this on purpose or they're stupid or both, but they
did the deal and State Farmed the other companies ended
up taking advantage of huge loopholes that allowed these companies
(25:39):
to throw thousands of homeowners off their insurance. This is
November of twenty twenty four, two months before the fires.
A lot of people were thrown off their insurance. Some
of them didn't even know they got thrown into California's
Fair Plan, which is a complete bankrupt disaster. Lara also
manages that so I know it's reelection here and all
(26:02):
the Democratic parasites that are running for reelection want to
point to, Oh, we've done an investigation and the insurance
commissioner has found the insurance Commissioner and k Newsom created this.
The legislature allowed this to happen, but they created the problem.
(26:23):
And yes, the insurance companies are ruthless, horrific greed bags.
It's all true, though, it's all true. I'm insurance companies
give capitalism a really, really, really bad name. There's no
way to argue against that. Psych Health insurance companies, Okay,
(26:46):
they all treat most of us very badly. I don't
know how to fix it, but I'm just saying what
I again see with my own eyes. Insurance companies in
this state are abusive. They rip people off, They ruined
people's lives, and the state creates the environment where they
can do it. Even when they claim that they fixed
(27:09):
the problem, they should all rot in hell. When we
come back along those lines. The Palisades Arsonist, the guy
who originally started the New Year's Day fire. Jonathan render Connect. Well,
(27:31):
his hero in life was Luigi Mangioni, who killed the
healthcare executive in New York City. Well, render Connect wanted
to be like Luigi Mangoni. That and a lot of
other things going on in his life led him to
set the fire. The prosecutors have laid out their case.
I'll tell you about it when we come back.
Speaker 3 (27:53):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI six.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
We are on every day from three to six and
then after six o'clock John Cobelt Show on Demand. Follow
us on social media at John Cobelt Radio at John
Cobelt Radio, and subscribe on YouTube. We'll put another video
on tonight. YouTube dot com. Slash at John Cobelt Show
YouTube dot com. Slash at John Cobelt Show. If you
got out of the habit because I was on vacation,
(28:19):
get back in the habit immediately.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
All right.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
This was uh, this came out over the weekend. The
guy who started the original fire in the Palisades. It
was because he didn't have a date for New Year's Eve.
If you believe the prosecutors here, Jonathan Rinder Connect an
Uber driver. He was driving his Uber that night, and
(28:48):
the prosecutors have interviewed a lot of people, and apparently
render connects uber passengers said he was angry, intense, driving
erradically and ranting about being pissed off at the world.
Number one reason, I very rarely take an Uber and
if I do, I pay the exorbitant price for one
(29:08):
of those black car Ubers. I just do not want
to ever go into a random car because you get
guys like this, he said. According to the prosecutors, on
the night of New Year's Eve, Renderconnect was upset about
a relationship with a former coworker. He had dated her
(29:31):
for a time in March of twenty twenty four, and
sent her a message what are you doing New Year's Eve?
In return, she asked for space.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
That would be a no. I guess, huh, I need
some space. Gee.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
I don't know why she wasn't eager now had she
said yes, do you realize the palisades might be still standing?
But I guess he had picked up the bad vibe
and she wasn't going to spend one more evening with
the guy. Well kidd at render Connect had a bad
reaction and left her two voicemails, which prosecutors described as manic,
(30:15):
all right, confirming, confirming her decision. Then he calls two
other people looking for company on New Year's Eve. They
said no, Now he's zero for three. He's really frustrated
about not having a date or a friend or anything.
In the meantime, he had fallen for Luigi Mangioni, the
(30:38):
guy who shot up the healthcare executive in New York
City killed him. And you know, they have a big
lighter that they think he used to start the fire.
Render Connect was living in North Hollywood driving ubers, and
(31:00):
the reason he went back to the Palisades he had
happier times there with an ex lover. She also got
a message the night of the fire, so it maybe
struck out with her too. A lot of exes. Have
you noticed a lot of people not taking his call?
Who is that is that? Jonathan? No?
Speaker 2 (31:18):
I don't think so, not tonight.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
But the ex never responded back, So Renderconnect. In addition
to all this rejection, because it looks like he went
over four, he was resentful of the rich enjoying their money,
as we're basically being enslaved by them. This is what
(31:45):
he told investigators after they caught him. So he wanted
to burn the Palisades. Is too many rich people enjoying
their money. They looked at his search records. He had
searched free Luigi Mangione. He also had searched let's take
down all the billionaires. He looked on Reddit, Let's kill
(32:06):
all the billionaires. I am astonished all this anger towards billionaires.
I have no idea. Well, let's take Jeff Bezos as
an example. He's one of my favorite billionaires because the
guy started Amazon, which is extremely useful. Started it out
of a garage. He like rented garage space at somebody's house,
(32:30):
and there was nothing but him and a card table
and a vinyl banner he had printed up that said Amazon.
And he started by selling books, as you know, and
then it turned into everything. And so now he's worth
a billion dollars. I am not I've never been offended
that he's a billionaire and he's got yachts, and I
don't understand. It's like, Wow, that's pretty cool. Doesn't anybody say, hey,
(32:55):
wish I'd thought of that. Hey I really like his service,
that that really been a positive impact on my line.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
What does it it doesn't cost you anything.
Speaker 1 (33:05):
In fact, he gets you lower prices than you'd get
at the store, and he saves you the cost of
driving and and and paying for gas. Does I don't
understand you save time, You save money on gas. The
prices of the goods are cheap and the what you
get at the stores. What are you mad at him for?
Because he makes it makes a big profit off of
(33:26):
this who was a billion It's like, yeah, he's a
billionaire because he founded a business that I don't know,
it's probably worth trillions. What's wrong with you? Why don't
you go out and do something. I can't get over this.
I really cannot get over the hatred of the billionaires. Yeah,
there's a few crooks in there, but overall, I sick sick, sick,
(33:54):
sick sick society when you when you start trying to
kill people because because somebody successful and you're a loser.
This guy is such a loser. He was He was
a bad uber driver. He frightened all his passengers. So
the crazy uber driver is angry with the guy who
starts one of the greatest companies of the twenty first century. Yeah, okay,
