Speaker 1 (00:00):
Can't. I am six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
You're listening to the John Cobel podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
We're back together here and we're on every day from
one till four.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
Vacation is over.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
It's two beautiful weeks one in Iceland with thirty of
our listeners. We're really nice, reasonable people.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
Reasonable.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Yeah, no, no, no, Crez. It was really a good time.
So you should have gone. You missed out.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
I wasted.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Well you have to pay. You could have signed up.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
Well I didn't know you didn't.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
You had other places to travel. Yes, we're gonna Well
we might go somewhere next year.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
Okay, well maybe I'll be invited you.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Who are you supposed to be invited by? It's a
trip that's opened to anybody I know. All right, But
well you want to like the President of Iceland to
send you an invitation?
Speaker 3 (00:57):
Oh yeah, that'd be great.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Coming up in a few minutes. Another I told you so.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
According to public Radio, the California Homeless count that they
announced his complete bull crap, nonsense wrong, and they presented
it to the new woman who's running loss, and she
looked at it and it's like, well, you know, we.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Got to talk to we got to talk to them.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
It was the Rand Corporation that did the count, and
we were going to talk to Rand and see what
this is about. In other words, yeah, maybe we did
screw up. Maybe we are lying. Let's got alex Stone.
Alaska Airlines had some massive computer meltdown and a groundstop
was issued for eight hours last night. And there's a
(01:49):
lot of Alaskan flights that fight in and out of
La Alex.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
What's this about?
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Yeah, thank goodness, you didn't have to deal with this
when you were flying back, and it wasn't on the airline.
You you know, Last Airline is now the fifth largest
airline in the US, which surprises a lot of people
that you know, you'd think for a while it was
for quite a while you had to go up to
Seattle and connect through there. But now since they absorbed
Virgin America and now Hawaiian Airlines, is that deal is
(02:16):
being the merger or the buying of a Last Airlines
is really being absorbed in that they're growing really quickly.
So they are not really explaining what went on other
than to say that they had a failure at their
primary data center, and it's not clear if they totally
understand what that failure was or if there was more
to it. They are not saying that it was or
(02:37):
wasn't malicious, so it's not really clear what this was.
But for eight hours last night they had to ground
all of their flights, their entire fleet and that of
the regional carrier Horizon Air that they owned because of
this IT outage, and people were stuck. They couldn't go anywhere.
This guy was stuck, he said, they were on their
plane and then all of a sudden they were told, whoops,
we can't go anywhere, and we won't be going anywhere tonight.
(02:59):
Soon as we sat down, we got an announcement saying
from the pilots saying, folks, there's a bit of a
hit up. So about forty nine thousand people were impacted
by this last night alone, let alone today. Last night,
three hundred and sixty flights were canceled. Today it looks
it's around one hundred and thirty five for our last airlines.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Is they still deal with this?
Speaker 2 (03:18):
And yeah, John, like we've talked about anytime when United
had a problem a couple of years ago in Southwest,
everybody's had some issue the grounds a lot of their
planes that it takes a while because then that plane
that should have been in Burbank is sitting in Chicago.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
And you know, I mean.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Every plane is in the wrong city, every crew is
in the wrong city.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
That they've got to move them around.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
And then you've got all the passengers who haven't been
able to go where they need to go, and they've
got to spend money, and whether it means on Alaska
or on another airline getting them where they've got to be.
But for those who have tried to get home, it's
been tough if they've been able to do it.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Today, this was really a roller coaster of a day.
We didn't know what was happening one minute from the next.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
So they're gonna continue cleaning this up today and probably
into tomorrow a little bit as they try to get
the planes where they need to be in the cruise,
but as we wait to find out more about what
this was and a last airline's not really specifying that
they this is the second one of these they had
won about three months ago, and that one they said
was well, they were upgrading their system, which does occur
and we've seen that with other airlines where something goes
(04:18):
a little out of whack and all of a sudden
the whole system goes down.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
But this is the second one for Alaska in a
couple of months. I have a question.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Yeah, I don't know if you know the answer to this,
I'll make it up, but well that's what I do.
Why is it that if there's people, they've already boarded
the plane and they're on the taxiway, why would they
make everybody get off the plane? I mean, does the
pilot's screens go out?
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (04:43):
So it depends on no, I mean your cockpait would
be okay, It depends on what the systems are. It
seems like that this impacted dispatch and routing and maybe
even weight and balance that they're still doing the calculations
as they're taxing out, and if communication with the last
caroline systems goes down, then they don't have all of
that data. And they one a couple of months ago
(05:05):
for a Last Airlines that did a lot of weight
and balance, which is critical and getting off the ground
and making sure that that you've got everything right for
the flight that you don't take off and then you
know you got the weight wrong or the balance of
cargo wrong. Down below or passengers. You've ever been on
a flight where they ask you to move because they
want they need more people in the back than who
are sitting back there for weight and balance.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
So they've got to get that right.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
And we don't know necessarily yet if this impacted weight
and balance, but it did a few months ago. But
all that's critical while they're going out.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
To the runway.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
All right, very good, thank you to tell like any
what I was talking about. I make it, make it well, yes, yes,
it was very convincing. If you got to do it,
you got to be convincing, that's right, I know. Alex Stone,
ABC News on a last airline having a big grounds stop.
All right, we come back. I told you they lie.
They lie about a lot of things, they meaning all
(05:58):
the governments. I told you they lie about homeless numbers.
Karen Vass has been preating and preening and squealing about
how they homeless numbers have been down for the last
two years. That apparently is not true. What exactly they
are nobody knows. But the rand Corporation, by the way,
the smartest people, the smartest people work for RANDT there
(06:22):
it's a research I think tank in Santa Monica. I
met somebody from the Rand Corporation once at a party.
Holy mackerel, most intimidating woman I ever talked to. Really,
Oh yeah, yeah, I couldn't. I couldn't believe like how
smart she was.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
So what did you just like not say anything?
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Just no, no, why I talked with her, Kyle, No,
I actually was kind of fascinated by her.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
I wanted to you know, you ask good questions. Yeah,
I know how to do this. So you know.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
You said you intimidated, Well, that was internally.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Internally, it's like, you know, because because because that that
kind of intelligence is more intimidating than even beauty, because
you just it's how you're standing there and you're like
gauging because you don't want to sound stupid, right, and
you do want to talk and find out about what
she's doing and how this works, and all without sounding
(07:17):
like a silly fanboy, right, you know. It's but no,
they're they're all like that. And so when they say
that La was undercounting the vagrants in the street, I
believe them.
Speaker 5 (07:32):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
All right, we've got you know, we had Richie Greenberg on.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
He's a journalist and a commentator up from San Francisco,
and we were talking about how Trump plots to send
in the National Guard, and I asked him, well, how
bad is it and he said, because there's a lot
of stories that crime is down in San Francisco, and
you see this repeatedly.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Crime is down, crime is down.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
And then Richie said, well, crime is down because most
of the businesses downtown moved out, and so there's nothing
left to break into, and there's nothing left to steal.
Everything's been stolen, everything's been broken into, and anybody left
got out of there. And that is what is frustrating
about official statistics from the government, amplified by the idiots
(08:30):
and the media. And of course it's all about intentionally
lying to you. They know exactly what they're doing. They
don't make mistakes. And one of the things that's bugged
me is when they start spewing mistakes, it's hard to
challenge them because I can't go out and count the
(08:50):
homeless people. I use my eyes and I'm looking around.
It's like it's as bad as it's always been in
la you'd.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
Say so too. Oh yeah, Some areas are worse. Hollywood's worse.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
So I know they're lying, but you can't prove it.
So the RAND Corporation, it's a think tank filled with geniuses,
and they do a lot of research. And what they
did they didn't count the whole city, but they took
three sections of Los Angeles and did their own count
(09:26):
and found that Karen Bass's count captured just sixty eight
percent of the homeless. They missed by a third. They undercounted.
This is this is Karen Bass and Lasa. They undercounted
(09:46):
by twenty six percent last year. This year they're undercounted
by thirty two percent. They missed a third of the
homeless this year, and they missed a quarter of it
last year. And how many times did she be carrying?
Speaker 6 (10:04):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Almost this is down inside safe as a success.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
And I'm thinking, I know you're lying, but I can't
prove it.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Louis Abramson is the lead author of this RAND report,
and he said, and you know what they did is
they sampled three districts where there are a lot of
homeless people. You know, once you sample enough, you can
get a pretty good idea whether the Bass is telling
the truth. And Louise Abramson said in twenty twenty two
(10:39):
and twenty three, in the areas we counted, the loss
account was excellent. I don't know what has happened afterwards.
I'll tell you what happened. Bass became mayor in twenty
twenty three, and she.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
Doesn't she won.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
It's the homeless numbers to keep going down even if
they're not going down. That's what one of the employees
that losses said.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Was going on.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
One of the employees at loss of and she said
this in a court document that they were under pressure
to lie about the numbers because they don't want to
make Karen.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Bass look bad.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
They said, part of the problem is there's a new
type of homeless person because they have gotten rid of
some of the tent encampments and they're called rough sleepers.
They live outside, no tent, no makeshifts, wooden boards that
they're sleeping under, no vehicle, and it says LA's removed
(11:47):
tent encampments. But rough sleepers are hard to count accurately.
Abramson said the easiest to count population was the dominant population.
So if you got the tent dwellers right, that's easy
to count. You're just counting the tents, but if more
(12:08):
of your population is rough sleeping. I never heard this
term before.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
I ever heard that.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Apparently this is a new official, new official jargon. Skid
Row is just sixty one percent accurate. So Karen Bass
undercounted by almost forty percent on skid row. That was
the biggest miss Hollywood, they missed by nineteen percent. The
(12:36):
places with the highest needs, according to the report, are
the very places where the official count is most underestimated.
So they took this to the new chief executive of LOSA,
Geita O'Neill, and she said, I haven't seen the report yet,
but I'd like to compare notes. She welcomes more outside
(12:57):
counts that their count is not the last word. Well,
Bass is running around like it's the last word. She's
been pounding into everybody's head. Oh it's down, exper Salell, No,
it's not. And it affects all the funding that goes
(13:17):
on because there's three hundred million dollars in federal and
local dollars they get. They get two hundred and twenty
million from the FEDS housing in urban development, which is
why Bill is Saley is investigating where all this money
is going because there's there is a lot of federal
(13:37):
money involved. Yeah, they steal federal money. They steal state money,
they steal local tax money. Oh, here's the thing. The
discrepancies in RANS report raised questions about reported declines and
homelessness raise questions. It means they're lying and they got caught.
(14:00):
City officials have celebrated two consecutive years of declining homelessness.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
So if.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
If the pattern that RAND researchers have found holds up
across the entire city, almost eight thousand people may be
missing from the most recent count. Bass was trying to
claim that we're down twenty three hundred homeless, we may
be up eight thousand homeless. They use this app when
(14:31):
they wander around the streets. This app for three years
has had many technical issues. The thing doesn't work like
a lot of apps, and Loss has said last year,
issues with the app increased doubts and concerns about the
technology and the reliability of the data. Notice, Bass has
(14:52):
no problem declaring the drops in homelessness as fact. They're
not fact. If you look at this report, their app
doesn't work. They undercount in some neighborhoods, massively undercount. When
you're missing account by forty percent, and now instead of
(15:15):
being down twenty three hundred people were up almost eight
thousand people.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
They said this years ago.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
Apparently there was a report from the Economic Roundtable eight
years ago that LA's homeless count lacked reliable year to
year data because the methods and the data collection it
was not consistent exact. So more lies, more propaganda, more nonsense.
At least the Rand Corporation did an investigation. LAist is
(15:47):
the public radio. They're publicizing it when we come back.
May have heard Deborah's news new fire Chief, Yes, talk
more about it.
Speaker 5 (15:58):
You're listening to Cobel's on demand from KFI A six.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
On every day from one till four o'clock. I'm back
from Iceland. I want to thank Collette. I want to
thank the leader of our Iceland tour, Marion the announce
your name properly. Thirty listeners came. They were a lot
(16:24):
of fun. We saw the northern lights. We saw these
beautiful glaciers, waterfalls, We saw a lot of lava. They
one of the selling points of Iceland is the land
of fire and ice. You see enormous lava fields. There
was one lava field we drove by that was like
twenty six what was it? No, it was seven times
(16:46):
the size of Manhattan. And some of these lava fields
are recent and when the lava comes pouring out a volcano,
it flattens everything in its sight and it stays that
way and eventually the lava breaks down into very rich soil.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
But I don't know, I don't know how.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Many hundreds of years you gotta wait around for that.
But to see to see the volcano mountains, to see
the the the waterfalls, the glaciers, it was really spectacu
on the northern lines.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
Yeah, so it was.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
It was really cool.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
We were really lucky and we had a good group
of KFI listeners. So if we do another trip next year,
you should come with us, all right, So Endebra's news.
You probably heard that there's a new fire chief, Heimi More.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
It's either Heimi or Jamie has heard it both ways.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Well, he's a fluent English and Spanish, so I guess
his name goes both ways too.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
He's a deputy chief. They did a nationwide search.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
And uh. He describes himself as a progressive fire service leader.
His bio reads Chief More advocates education, the importance of
knowing your job and promotes empathy towards others and kindness
to Awe. Well, that reads like a Miss America biography,
doesn't it. I mean, I don't know, I never heard
(18:10):
of him. I don't know him. He might be a
wonderful guy. But I want to hear that, and I'd
like to see if he's going to speak out on
this that if you find out that a one hundred
and seventeen million gallon reservoir is empty, you're going to
make sure it gets filled.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
You're going to call that.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
Dip bleep at the DWP Genie Kinoniez and say, Genie,
fill the reservoir up.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
I want to hear that if a fire breaks out
and you have warnings that we might have eighty hundred
mile an hour.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
Winds, you're going to send a crew back to the
fire site in case it gets rekindled. I want to
know you're going to keep constant track of the fire hydrants,
not find out after the fire that a thousand were broken.
I want to know that you don't have forty engines
bus did and can't be fixed because there's no money
for the there's no money for the mechanics. I don't
(19:08):
want to hear about sending firefighters home after their first
shift when fire breaks out because well, we don't have
the money. I want to hear the truth about why
this fire department is underfunded by half, then only fund
fifty percent of the fire department. Of course, you bring
it up, and then Karen Bass fires you. But somebody's
(19:31):
got to take her on. She's pouring a ton of
money into allegedly cleaning up the homeless. Now we find
out that her homeless cleanup statistics are fake.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
And she doesn't pour the money into the fire department.
It says that Moore creates the LA Fire.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
Department's Equity and Human Resources Bureau of who cares. He's
dedicated to improving diversity, equity inclusion.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
I don't want to hear those three words ever again.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
I want to know that we have strong, brave firefighters
who are able to work long hours in extremely difficult condition.
I don't care about their sex lives. I don't care
about the color of their skin, I don't care about
(20:28):
their backgrounds. I just got to know they can put
out a fire, and that they're smart enough to check
the reservoir and if it's empty, to make a big
stink about it.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
I would love for you to have him on the
show and ask him what he thought about how everything
went down last January. But you're right, he'll be fired.
Speaker 4 (20:49):
The mayor will fire him if he says anything negative,
so he's not going to be able to be truthful.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
Kristin Crowley never sounded the alarm until through the fire
and after she was getting a lot of criticism. But
it turned out a lot of criticism towards Crowley is
true justified, but even more so Karen Bass because she
was the leader who is out in Ghana.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
I think I I and if he's been in the
department for thirty years, what does he know? What does
he know?
Speaker 2 (21:23):
Is?
Speaker 1 (21:24):
I mean? I know what? How come all the headlines
are about diversity.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
I'd like to know what he would have done differently?
Speaker 2 (21:33):
Yeah, tell me that, Christian. Why do Kristin Crowley screwed up?
Say that Kristin Crowley screwed up? And we need more
money And I'm going to bring this up constantly publicly,
and if Karen Bass wants to fire me, she can
fire me. But we're way underfunded as a fire department.
All this stuff is going to happen again, and.
Speaker 4 (21:54):
I'm going to make sure that all the fire hydrants
are full three hundred and sixty five days a year.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Is that too much to ask that the fire hydrants work,
that the reservoirs are filled. That what do they call
when all the when something happens, a tactical alert for
the police, right and everybody has to stay on to
the second shift.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
I mean sometimes they.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
Call out every able able body police officer that they
have in the department. That's what this should have been,
eighty one hundred mile an hour winds.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
I want to know that.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
These fires are babysat for however many weeks or months.
Speaker 4 (22:32):
Yeah, if you have a fire that's moldering in a
fire prone area, you need to go back every single
day and do whatever you can to make sure that
fire is out.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
Just today, what were we talking about.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
They didn't do a thermal imaging right test.
Speaker 4 (22:48):
They didn't think it was necessary or something like that,
uh warranted?
Speaker 1 (22:53):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (22:54):
Yeah, And the last this interim fire chief Ronnie Vanuevas said,
we did everything that we could.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
No false. Do you agree with that?
Speaker 2 (23:04):
But the sycophants at the Times and the TV stations,
they're not going to ask this stuff. I cannot get
over that that reservoir was dry. I remember, like the
day of the fire or the day after the fire,
and Rick Caruso came on and he was talking and
he said, almost in passing, that the reservoirs are dry
(23:28):
or they didn't fill up the reservoirs. But there were
so much going on it stuck in my head, but
I didn't follow it up at the moment because it
didn't I didn't conceive that there could be a reservoir
of one hundred and seventeen million gallons that was completely empty.
Like my brain would not accept it. So I didn't
know what he was talking about. And then, you know,
a couple of days later, times did the big story
(23:50):
and it's like, oh, that's what he meant, because you know,
I thought maybe it's a small reservoir, but one hundred
and seventeen million. Yeah, And then they run around saying, oh,
let it made a difference, Yes, it would have, you liar,
just oh, I want to made a difference if we'd
sent the firefighters up the night before, Yes, it would.
You're lying, Oh would have made a difference if you
(24:12):
know we had more fire engines, Yes it would you're
lying again. I would have made a difference if the
hydrants work, Yes, it would.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
It's a fourth law you just told so.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
I don't know who this timing more is, but uh,
we're gonna be on his case too, because we don't
need we don't need another clown.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
Bass is a clown, Kristin Crowley is a clown. Genie
Kenonias is a clown.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
And there's already the diversity has been a disaster here.
I want somebody who can Filling a reservoir is like
filling a swimming pool.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
You can't do that.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
That's all we're asking to do is fill a hole
in the ground, and you can't do that, and you
don't tell anybody when it's empty. And it never should
have been emptied in the first place because the swimming
pool cover was torn or birds had pooped into the water.
Are some such nonsense, goy.
Speaker 5 (25:11):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI Am sixty.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
If there's a theme we've been talking about throughout the show,
the incredible amount of lying that's done by public officials
and then amplified by all the idiots in the media,
whether it's Karen Bass, claiming that homelessness is down by
twenty three hundred people. Turns out it's up by eight thousand.
According to Rand, they did their own count in three
big neighborhoods and found that the count was way off
(25:41):
in one neighborhood by forty percent. She just flat out
live because who's gonna know you're not going to count
it yourself. We talked about about how San Francisco they claim, well,
the crime is down, and as Richard Greenberg are corresponded
up in San Francisco pointed out, well, yeah, crime is
down in downtown because all the stores have closed. Everything's
been stolen, so the criminals have nothing left to steal.
(26:04):
And with Trump going after all these big cities and
their crime problems and illegal alien drug problems, everybody's still lying.
Listen to this guy. He's the fat guy, Governor JB. Pritzker,
governor of Illinois, very wealthy. I think I think he's
a billionaire too, and it looks like he's eaten most
of his fortune and he's another obnoxious jackass type and
(26:31):
he just he went on with grit Bear Fox News
and was trying to claim that Chicago's crime rate is
not very high.
Speaker 6 (26:38):
Why does Chicago have the highest murder rate of all
the big cities.
Speaker 7 (26:43):
Well, we are not in the top thirty in terms
of our murder rate andrate.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
Our murder rate.
Speaker 7 (26:50):
Has been cut in half over the last four years,
and every year it's gone down by double digits. And
if you look at all of the violent crime over.
Speaker 6 (26:57):
The last four years, they've all gone down. US cities
seventeen point forty seven per one hundred thousand population. Chicago's
number one over Philadelphia, Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, Phoenix, Los Angeles.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
New York, and San Diego.
Speaker 7 (27:09):
I what I'm explaining to you as you want to
buy crime, Look, you can pull statistics up. I'm explaining
to you that our murder rate has been cut in half.
And very importantly, Brett and you got to hear this,
very importantly, full of it. We've been doing the things
that are necessary to bring crime down, right. We've invested
in community violence interruption. We've invested in police community in
(27:31):
more stage lease than any governoring.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
Now, community violence interruption, what is somebody jump in front
of a bullet before it hits the other guy in
the head.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
The hell is he talking about?
Speaker 2 (27:42):
You know? As he keeps changing the subject and starts
babbling away. They're number one among major cities their murder rate.
What Brett Bear was saying was absolutely right. He got
caught wine by the rest of him.
Speaker 7 (27:55):
In community violence, interruption. We've invested in police. I've added
more state police than any governor in quite a long time.
It's very important that we do both of those things
and more to invest in our community so that we
bring crime down.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
We're doing that.
Speaker 7 (28:09):
You know who's doing the opposite, Donald Trump?
Speaker 1 (28:12):
Oh right, it's Trump's ball.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
Oh Chicago has the worst murder rate in the country,
and he claims, well, we cut it in half. You
cut it in half, and you're still number one, and
you're lying about it. You're lying about it. Another guy
who wants to be president. Him and Newsome. There's psychopaths.
(28:37):
We only have psychopaths running for office now, all right,
you know, first day back, it feels like a Monday,
but it's not.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
It's a Friday. It's weird.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
Okay, got a weekend coming up. I'm gonna go home
watch the Dodgers like everybody else. And we got Conway next.
Michael Kurzier Live in KFI twenty four Hour News Room.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
Hey, you've been listening to The John Cobalt Show podcast.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
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. I am six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
You're listening to the John Cobel podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
We're back together here and we're on every day from
one till four.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
Vacation is over.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
It's two beautiful weeks one in Iceland with thirty of
our listeners. We're really nice, reasonable people.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
Reasonable.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Yeah, no, no, no, Crez. It was really a good time.
So you should have gone. You missed out.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
I wasted.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Well you have to pay. You could have signed up.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
Well I didn't know you didn't.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
You had other places to travel. Yes, we're gonna Well
we might go somewhere next year.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
Okay, well maybe I'll be invited you.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Who are you supposed to be invited by? It's a
trip that's opened to anybody I know. All right, But
well you want to like the President of Iceland to
send you an invitation?
Speaker 3 (00:57):
Oh yeah, that'd be great.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Coming up in a few minutes. Another I told you so.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
According to public Radio, the California Homeless count that they
announced his complete bull crap, nonsense wrong, and they presented
it to the new woman who's running loss, and she
looked at it and it's like, well, you know, we.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Got to talk to we got to talk to them.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
It was the Rand Corporation that did the count, and
we were going to talk to Rand and see what
this is about. In other words, yeah, maybe we did
screw up. Maybe we are lying. Let's got alex Stone.
Alaska Airlines had some massive computer meltdown and a groundstop
was issued for eight hours last night. And there's a
(01:49):
lot of Alaskan flights that fight in and out of
La Alex.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
What's this about?
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Yeah, thank goodness, you didn't have to deal with this
when you were flying back, and it wasn't on the airline.
You you know, Last Airline is now the fifth largest
airline in the US, which surprises a lot of people
that you know, you'd think for a while it was
for quite a while you had to go up to
Seattle and connect through there. But now since they absorbed
Virgin America and now Hawaiian Airlines, is that deal is
(02:16):
being the merger or the buying of a Last Airlines
is really being absorbed in that they're growing really quickly.
So they are not really explaining what went on other
than to say that they had a failure at their
primary data center, and it's not clear if they totally
understand what that failure was or if there was more
to it. They are not saying that it was or
(02:37):
wasn't malicious, so it's not really clear what this was.
But for eight hours last night they had to ground
all of their flights, their entire fleet and that of
the regional carrier Horizon Air that they owned because of
this IT outage, and people were stuck. They couldn't go anywhere.
This guy was stuck, he said, they were on their
plane and then all of a sudden they were told, whoops,
we can't go anywhere, and we won't be going anywhere tonight.
(02:59):
Soon as we sat down, we got an announcement saying
from the pilots saying, folks, there's a bit of a
hit up. So about forty nine thousand people were impacted
by this last night alone, let alone today. Last night,
three hundred and sixty flights were canceled. Today it looks
it's around one hundred and thirty five for our last airlines.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Is they still deal with this?
Speaker 2 (03:18):
And yeah, John, like we've talked about anytime when United
had a problem a couple of years ago in Southwest,
everybody's had some issue the grounds a lot of their
planes that it takes a while because then that plane
that should have been in Burbank is sitting in Chicago.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
And you know, I mean.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Every plane is in the wrong city, every crew is
in the wrong city.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
That they've got to move them around.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
And then you've got all the passengers who haven't been
able to go where they need to go, and they've
got to spend money, and whether it means on Alaska
or on another airline getting them where they've got to be.
But for those who have tried to get home, it's
been tough if they've been able to do it.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Today, this was really a roller coaster of a day.
We didn't know what was happening one minute from the next.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
So they're gonna continue cleaning this up today and probably
into tomorrow a little bit as they try to get
the planes where they need to be in the cruise,
but as we wait to find out more about what
this was and a last airline's not really specifying that
they this is the second one of these they had
won about three months ago, and that one they said
was well, they were upgrading their system, which does occur
and we've seen that with other airlines where something goes
(04:18):
a little out of whack and all of a sudden
the whole system goes down.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
But this is the second one for Alaska in a
couple of months. I have a question.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Yeah, I don't know if you know the answer to this,
I'll make it up, but well that's what I do.
Why is it that if there's people, they've already boarded
the plane and they're on the taxiway, why would they
make everybody get off the plane? I mean, does the
pilot's screens go out?
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (04:43):
So it depends on no, I mean your cockpait would
be okay, It depends on what the systems are. It
seems like that this impacted dispatch and routing and maybe
even weight and balance that they're still doing the calculations
as they're taxing out, and if communication with the last
caroline systems goes down, then they don't have all of
that data. And they one a couple of months ago
(05:05):
for a Last Airlines that did a lot of weight
and balance, which is critical and getting off the ground
and making sure that that you've got everything right for
the flight that you don't take off and then you
know you got the weight wrong or the balance of
cargo wrong. Down below or passengers. You've ever been on
a flight where they ask you to move because they
want they need more people in the back than who
are sitting back there for weight and balance.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
So they've got to get that right.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
And we don't know necessarily yet if this impacted weight
and balance, but it did a few months ago. But
all that's critical while they're going out.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
To the runway.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
All right, very good, thank you to tell like any
what I was talking about. I make it, make it well, yes, yes,
it was very convincing. If you got to do it,
you got to be convincing, that's right, I know. Alex Stone,
ABC News on a last airline having a big grounds stop.
All right, we come back. I told you they lie.
They lie about a lot of things, they meaning all
(05:58):
the governments. I told you they lie about homeless numbers.
Karen Vass has been preating and preening and squealing about
how they homeless numbers have been down for the last
two years. That apparently is not true. What exactly they
are nobody knows. But the rand Corporation, by the way,
the smartest people, the smartest people work for RANDT there
(06:22):
it's a research I think tank in Santa Monica. I
met somebody from the Rand Corporation once at a party.
Holy mackerel, most intimidating woman I ever talked to. Really,
Oh yeah, yeah, I couldn't. I couldn't believe like how
smart she was.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
So what did you just like not say anything?
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Just no, no, why I talked with her, Kyle, No,
I actually was kind of fascinated by her.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
I wanted to you know, you ask good questions. Yeah,
I know how to do this. So you know.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
You said you intimidated, Well, that was internally.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Internally, it's like, you know, because because because that that
kind of intelligence is more intimidating than even beauty, because
you just it's how you're standing there and you're like
gauging because you don't want to sound stupid, right, and
you do want to talk and find out about what
she's doing and how this works, and all without sounding
(07:17):
like a silly fanboy, right, you know. It's but no,
they're they're all like that. And so when they say
that La was undercounting the vagrants in the street, I
believe them.
Speaker 5 (07:32):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
All right, we've got you know, we had Richie Greenberg on.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
He's a journalist and a commentator up from San Francisco,
and we were talking about how Trump plots to send
in the National Guard, and I asked him, well, how
bad is it and he said, because there's a lot
of stories that crime is down in San Francisco, and
you see this repeatedly.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Crime is down, crime is down.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
And then Richie said, well, crime is down because most
of the businesses downtown moved out, and so there's nothing
left to break into, and there's nothing left to steal.
Everything's been stolen, everything's been broken into, and anybody left
got out of there. And that is what is frustrating
about official statistics from the government, amplified by the idiots
(08:30):
and the media. And of course it's all about intentionally
lying to you. They know exactly what they're doing. They
don't make mistakes. And one of the things that's bugged
me is when they start spewing mistakes, it's hard to
challenge them because I can't go out and count the
(08:50):
homeless people. I use my eyes and I'm looking around.
It's like it's as bad as it's always been in
la you'd.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
Say so too. Oh yeah, Some areas are worse. Hollywood's worse.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
So I know they're lying, but you can't prove it.
So the RAND Corporation, it's a think tank filled with geniuses,
and they do a lot of research. And what they
did they didn't count the whole city, but they took
three sections of Los Angeles and did their own count
(09:26):
and found that Karen Bass's count captured just sixty eight
percent of the homeless. They missed by a third. They undercounted.
This is this is Karen Bass and Lasa. They undercounted
(09:46):
by twenty six percent last year. This year they're undercounted
by thirty two percent. They missed a third of the
homeless this year, and they missed a quarter of it
last year. And how many times did she be carrying?
Speaker 6 (10:04):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Almost this is down inside safe as a success.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
And I'm thinking, I know you're lying, but I can't
prove it.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Louis Abramson is the lead author of this RAND report,
and he said, and you know what they did is
they sampled three districts where there are a lot of
homeless people. You know, once you sample enough, you can
get a pretty good idea whether the Bass is telling
the truth. And Louise Abramson said in twenty twenty two
(10:39):
and twenty three, in the areas we counted, the loss
account was excellent. I don't know what has happened afterwards.
I'll tell you what happened. Bass became mayor in twenty
twenty three, and she.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
Doesn't she won.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
It's the homeless numbers to keep going down even if
they're not going down. That's what one of the employees
that losses said.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Was going on.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
One of the employees at loss of and she said
this in a court document that they were under pressure
to lie about the numbers because they don't want to
make Karen.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Bass look bad.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
They said, part of the problem is there's a new
type of homeless person because they have gotten rid of
some of the tent encampments and they're called rough sleepers.
They live outside, no tent, no makeshifts, wooden boards that
they're sleeping under, no vehicle, and it says LA's removed
(11:47):
tent encampments. But rough sleepers are hard to count accurately.
Abramson said the easiest to count population was the dominant population.
So if you got the tent dwellers right, that's easy
to count. You're just counting the tents, but if more
(12:08):
of your population is rough sleeping. I never heard this
term before.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
I ever heard that.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Apparently this is a new official, new official jargon. Skid
Row is just sixty one percent accurate. So Karen Bass
undercounted by almost forty percent on skid row. That was
the biggest miss Hollywood, they missed by nineteen percent. The
(12:36):
places with the highest needs, according to the report, are
the very places where the official count is most underestimated.
So they took this to the new chief executive of LOSA,
Geita O'Neill, and she said, I haven't seen the report yet,
but I'd like to compare notes. She welcomes more outside
(12:57):
counts that their count is not the last word. Well,
Bass is running around like it's the last word. She's
been pounding into everybody's head. Oh it's down, exper Salell, No,
it's not. And it affects all the funding that goes
(13:17):
on because there's three hundred million dollars in federal and
local dollars they get. They get two hundred and twenty
million from the FEDS housing in urban development, which is
why Bill is Saley is investigating where all this money
is going because there's there is a lot of federal
(13:37):
money involved. Yeah, they steal federal money. They steal state money,
they steal local tax money. Oh, here's the thing. The
discrepancies in RANS report raised questions about reported declines and
homelessness raise questions. It means they're lying and they got caught.
(14:00):
City officials have celebrated two consecutive years of declining homelessness.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
So if.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
If the pattern that RAND researchers have found holds up
across the entire city, almost eight thousand people may be
missing from the most recent count. Bass was trying to
claim that we're down twenty three hundred homeless, we may
be up eight thousand homeless. They use this app when
(14:31):
they wander around the streets. This app for three years
has had many technical issues. The thing doesn't work like
a lot of apps, and Loss has said last year,
issues with the app increased doubts and concerns about the
technology and the reliability of the data. Notice, Bass has
(14:52):
no problem declaring the drops in homelessness as fact. They're
not fact. If you look at this report, their app
doesn't work. They undercount in some neighborhoods, massively undercount. When
you're missing account by forty percent, and now instead of
(15:15):
being down twenty three hundred people were up almost eight
thousand people.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
They said this years ago.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
Apparently there was a report from the Economic Roundtable eight
years ago that LA's homeless count lacked reliable year to
year data because the methods and the data collection it
was not consistent exact. So more lies, more propaganda, more nonsense.
At least the Rand Corporation did an investigation. LAist is
(15:47):
the public radio. They're publicizing it when we come back.
May have heard Deborah's news new fire Chief, Yes, talk
more about it.
Speaker 5 (15:58):
You're listening to Cobel's on demand from KFI A six.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
On every day from one till four o'clock. I'm back
from Iceland. I want to thank Collette. I want to
thank the leader of our Iceland tour, Marion the announce
your name properly. Thirty listeners came. They were a lot
(16:24):
of fun. We saw the northern lights. We saw these
beautiful glaciers, waterfalls, We saw a lot of lava. They
one of the selling points of Iceland is the land
of fire and ice. You see enormous lava fields. There
was one lava field we drove by that was like
twenty six what was it? No, it was seven times
(16:46):
the size of Manhattan. And some of these lava fields
are recent and when the lava comes pouring out a volcano,
it flattens everything in its sight and it stays that
way and eventually the lava breaks down into very rich soil.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
But I don't know, I don't know how.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Many hundreds of years you gotta wait around for that.
But to see to see the volcano mountains, to see
the the the waterfalls, the glaciers, it was really spectacu
on the northern lines.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
Yeah, so it was.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
It was really cool.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
We were really lucky and we had a good group
of KFI listeners. So if we do another trip next year,
you should come with us, all right, So Endebra's news.
You probably heard that there's a new fire chief, Heimi More.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
It's either Heimi or Jamie has heard it both ways.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Well, he's a fluent English and Spanish, so I guess
his name goes both ways too.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
He's a deputy chief. They did a nationwide search.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
And uh. He describes himself as a progressive fire service leader.
His bio reads Chief More advocates education, the importance of
knowing your job and promotes empathy towards others and kindness
to Awe. Well, that reads like a Miss America biography,
doesn't it. I mean, I don't know, I never heard
(18:10):
of him. I don't know him. He might be a
wonderful guy. But I want to hear that, and I'd
like to see if he's going to speak out on
this that if you find out that a one hundred
and seventeen million gallon reservoir is empty, you're going to
make sure it gets filled.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
You're going to call that.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
Dip bleep at the DWP Genie Kinoniez and say, Genie,
fill the reservoir up.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
I want to hear that if a fire breaks out
and you have warnings that we might have eighty hundred
mile an hour.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
Winds, you're going to send a crew back to the
fire site in case it gets rekindled. I want to
know you're going to keep constant track of the fire hydrants,
not find out after the fire that a thousand were broken.
I want to know that you don't have forty engines
bus did and can't be fixed because there's no money
for the there's no money for the mechanics. I don't
(19:08):
want to hear about sending firefighters home after their first
shift when fire breaks out because well, we don't have
the money. I want to hear the truth about why
this fire department is underfunded by half, then only fund
fifty percent of the fire department. Of course, you bring
it up, and then Karen Bass fires you. But somebody's
(19:31):
got to take her on. She's pouring a ton of
money into allegedly cleaning up the homeless. Now we find
out that her homeless cleanup statistics are fake.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
And she doesn't pour the money into the fire department.
It says that Moore creates the LA Fire.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
Department's Equity and Human Resources Bureau of who cares. He's
dedicated to improving diversity, equity inclusion.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
I don't want to hear those three words ever again.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
I want to know that we have strong, brave firefighters
who are able to work long hours in extremely difficult condition.
I don't care about their sex lives. I don't care
about the color of their skin, I don't care about
(20:28):
their backgrounds. I just got to know they can put
out a fire, and that they're smart enough to check
the reservoir and if it's empty, to make a big
stink about it.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
I would love for you to have him on the
show and ask him what he thought about how everything
went down last January. But you're right, he'll be fired.
Speaker 4 (20:49):
The mayor will fire him if he says anything negative,
so he's not going to be able to be truthful.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
Kristin Crowley never sounded the alarm until through the fire
and after she was getting a lot of criticism. But
it turned out a lot of criticism towards Crowley is
true justified, but even more so Karen Bass because she
was the leader who is out in Ghana.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
I think I I and if he's been in the
department for thirty years, what does he know? What does
he know?
Speaker 2 (21:23):
Is?
Speaker 1 (21:24):
I mean? I know what? How come all the headlines
are about diversity.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
I'd like to know what he would have done differently?
Speaker 2 (21:33):
Yeah, tell me that, Christian. Why do Kristin Crowley screwed up?
Say that Kristin Crowley screwed up? And we need more
money And I'm going to bring this up constantly publicly,
and if Karen Bass wants to fire me, she can
fire me. But we're way underfunded as a fire department.
All this stuff is going to happen again, and.
Speaker 4 (21:54):
I'm going to make sure that all the fire hydrants
are full three hundred and sixty five days a year.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Is that too much to ask that the fire hydrants work,
that the reservoirs are filled. That what do they call
when all the when something happens, a tactical alert for
the police, right and everybody has to stay on to
the second shift.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
I mean sometimes they.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
Call out every able able body police officer that they
have in the department. That's what this should have been,
eighty one hundred mile an hour winds.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
I want to know that.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
These fires are babysat for however many weeks or months.
Speaker 4 (22:32):
Yeah, if you have a fire that's moldering in a
fire prone area, you need to go back every single
day and do whatever you can to make sure that
fire is out.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
Just today, what were we talking about.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
They didn't do a thermal imaging right test.
Speaker 4 (22:48):
They didn't think it was necessary or something like that,
uh warranted?
Speaker 1 (22:53):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (22:54):
Yeah, And the last this interim fire chief Ronnie Vanuevas said,
we did everything that we could.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
No false. Do you agree with that?
Speaker 2 (23:04):
But the sycophants at the Times and the TV stations,
they're not going to ask this stuff. I cannot get
over that that reservoir was dry. I remember, like the
day of the fire or the day after the fire,
and Rick Caruso came on and he was talking and
he said, almost in passing, that the reservoirs are dry
(23:28):
or they didn't fill up the reservoirs. But there were
so much going on it stuck in my head, but
I didn't follow it up at the moment because it
didn't I didn't conceive that there could be a reservoir
of one hundred and seventeen million gallons that was completely empty.
Like my brain would not accept it. So I didn't
know what he was talking about. And then, you know,
a couple of days later, times did the big story
(23:50):
and it's like, oh, that's what he meant, because you know,
I thought maybe it's a small reservoir, but one hundred
and seventeen million. Yeah, And then they run around saying, oh,
let it made a difference, Yes, it would have, you liar,
just oh, I want to made a difference if we'd
sent the firefighters up the night before, Yes, it would.
You're lying, Oh would have made a difference if you
(24:12):
know we had more fire engines, Yes it would you're
lying again. I would have made a difference if the
hydrants work, Yes, it would.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
It's a fourth law you just told so.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
I don't know who this timing more is, but uh,
we're gonna be on his case too, because we don't
need we don't need another clown.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
Bass is a clown, Kristin Crowley is a clown. Genie
Kenonias is a clown.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
And there's already the diversity has been a disaster here.
I want somebody who can Filling a reservoir is like
filling a swimming pool.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
You can't do that.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
That's all we're asking to do is fill a hole
in the ground, and you can't do that, and you
don't tell anybody when it's empty. And it never should
have been emptied in the first place because the swimming
pool cover was torn or birds had pooped into the water.
Are some such nonsense, goy.
Speaker 5 (25:11):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI Am sixty.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
If there's a theme we've been talking about throughout the show,
the incredible amount of lying that's done by public officials
and then amplified by all the idiots in the media,
whether it's Karen Bass, claiming that homelessness is down by
twenty three hundred people. Turns out it's up by eight thousand.
According to Rand, they did their own count in three
big neighborhoods and found that the count was way off
(25:41):
in one neighborhood by forty percent. She just flat out
live because who's gonna know you're not going to count
it yourself. We talked about about how San Francisco they claim, well,
the crime is down, and as Richard Greenberg are corresponded
up in San Francisco pointed out, well, yeah, crime is
down in downtown because all the stores have closed. Everything's
been stolen, so the criminals have nothing left to steal.
(26:04):
And with Trump going after all these big cities and
their crime problems and illegal alien drug problems, everybody's still lying.
Listen to this guy. He's the fat guy, Governor JB. Pritzker,
governor of Illinois, very wealthy. I think I think he's
a billionaire too, and it looks like he's eaten most
of his fortune and he's another obnoxious jackass type and
(26:31):
he just he went on with grit Bear Fox News
and was trying to claim that Chicago's crime rate is
not very high.
Speaker 6 (26:38):
Why does Chicago have the highest murder rate of all
the big cities.
Speaker 7 (26:43):
Well, we are not in the top thirty in terms
of our murder rate andrate.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
Our murder rate.
Speaker 7 (26:50):
Has been cut in half over the last four years,
and every year it's gone down by double digits. And
if you look at all of the violent crime over.
Speaker 6 (26:57):
The last four years, they've all gone down. US cities
seventeen point forty seven per one hundred thousand population. Chicago's
number one over Philadelphia, Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, Phoenix, Los Angeles.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
New York, and San Diego.
Speaker 7 (27:09):
I what I'm explaining to you as you want to
buy crime, Look, you can pull statistics up. I'm explaining
to you that our murder rate has been cut in half.
And very importantly, Brett and you got to hear this,
very importantly, full of it. We've been doing the things
that are necessary to bring crime down, right. We've invested
in community violence interruption. We've invested in police community in
(27:31):
more stage lease than any governoring.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
Now, community violence interruption, what is somebody jump in front
of a bullet before it hits the other guy in
the head.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
The hell is he talking about?
Speaker 2 (27:42):
You know? As he keeps changing the subject and starts
babbling away. They're number one among major cities their murder rate.
What Brett Bear was saying was absolutely right. He got
caught wine by the rest of him.
Speaker 7 (27:55):
In community violence, interruption. We've invested in police. I've added
more state police than any governor in quite a long time.
It's very important that we do both of those things
and more to invest in our community so that we
bring crime down.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
We're doing that.
Speaker 7 (28:09):
You know who's doing the opposite, Donald Trump?
Speaker 1 (28:12):
Oh right, it's Trump's ball.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
Oh Chicago has the worst murder rate in the country,
and he claims, well, we cut it in half. You
cut it in half, and you're still number one, and
you're lying about it. You're lying about it. Another guy
who wants to be president. Him and Newsome. There's psychopaths.
(28:37):
We only have psychopaths running for office now, all right,
you know, first day back, it feels like a Monday,
but it's not.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
It's a Friday. It's weird.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
Okay, got a weekend coming up. I'm gonna go home
watch the Dodgers like everybody else. And we got Conway next.
