Speaker 1 (00:01):
I am six forty. You're listening to the John Cobel
podcast on the iHeartRadio app. We are on every day
from one un till four o'clock and on Fridays. Two
big bonuses. Well, one bonus is every day the podcast
after four o'clock. We post the radio show as a podcast,
so if you missed it, that's how you catch up,
(00:21):
and you could listen to today's show or any show
all weekend long, anytime. And then the bonus down Friday
itself is two rounds of the Moistline at around three
twenty or so and three fifty. First thing is we're
going to talk to Roger Bailey. Roger Bailey is an
attorney for many of the Pacific Palisades' residents who were
burned out in the Big Fire. Gavin Newsom claims publicly
(00:43):
that he sent one hundred and ten engines and twenty
five hundred National guardsmen. They were prepositioned to the Palisades
before January seventh. We have a little clip this is
from the Sean Ryan podcast where he says exactly that
told you twenty five on I deployed during the fires.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
They were there before the fires occurred in La I
pre deployed one hundred and ten engines pre deployed.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
The National Guard was part of the pre deployment. Okay,
one hundred and ten engines, twenty five hundred National Guard troops.
I can't tell you how many people I know got
burned out in the fire. And everybody I've talked to
never saw a single fire engine from anywhere, let alone
National guardsmen in the day or days before the January
(01:32):
seventh fire. Let's go to Roger Bailey, who's the lead
attorney on this case. Roger, how are you.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
I'm good, John, Good to talk to you again.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Well, you requested under the Public Records Act. I guess
all the documents to support Newsom's claims of one hundred
and ten fire engines twenty five hundred National guardsmen in
the Palisades pre deployed. What did you find?
Speaker 3 (02:01):
Well, like you, everybody we've talked to, we represent over
three thousand Palisades fire victims, and every one of them
said there was no fire presence before the fire started,
not from any agency. So this interview was given by
Newsom on the Sean Ryan podcast. My wife happened to
(02:22):
hear it and said, you know, listen Newsom says he
sent twenty five hundred National guardsmen and one hundred and
ten engines. And I said, well, that doesn't square with
anything we've heard. So we sent this the records request off.
We got the records yesterday and it shows that there
were forty five engines deployed to southern California. None to
(02:46):
the Palisades. They were the closest area. They sent, you know,
a couple of strike teams to Santa Clarita, but the
other forty five engines were San Diego, Riverside. They were
all over the place, none to the Palisades. And the
reason this is problematic is because we had in the
Palisades the Lachman fire that people remember burning on January first,
(03:10):
at burned eight acres. So if you're gonna send resources anywhere,
you send them to where there was just a recent fire,
not to Riverside or not to Santa Clarita. But let's
get the resources there at that burns card they had
nobody there.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Yeah, and you have a list in the document you
sent us that they sent strike teams to Ventura County,
San Bernardino County, Saint Luis Obispo, San Diego, County, Riverside County,
Orange County, and in La County. They were staged in
Santa Clarita, nothing near Pacific Palisades. So did he completely
(03:47):
lie in that Sean Ryan interview.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Well, it sure sounds like it to me, he says
repeatedly in a couple different spots. He's very proud that
he preyed. And he keeps saying LA. I pre deployed
National guardsmen to l A. I pre deployed one hundred
and ten engines to LA. But but but as we see,
the only things that went to LA were two strike
(04:13):
teams to Santa Clarita. Nothing went to the Palisades, nothing
went to Altadena. Uh so, you know, his whole point
was apparently you know, look, I was on top of it.
I had the resources there in advance. He didn't have
anything there in advance. And he also, if you as
(04:33):
you heard, he said the fire started on federal land,
which is also not true.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Oh he said that too, Yeah, I said that.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
He said this fire ignited on federal property, and we'd
noticed as Topega Canyon State Park. So anyway, there's just
so many different lies that that came out of that interview.
We're still pulling them out. But yeah, it's it's unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
It is unbelievable. It's it's in the middle of a rant,
of course, against Trump's use of the National Guard in
Los Angeles over the ice raids, and then he went
off about how he properly used the National Guard in
pre deployment for the fires. Do you have anybody else
in government making this claim, anybody that's got any proof
(05:17):
that Newsome is anywhere close to the truth in any sense.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
No, it's quite the opposite.
Speaker 4 (05:25):
It's the opposite.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
I mean, you know, everything that comes out of this
guy's mouth just as seems to be a lie. And
it's just when we heard this, we said, let's get
the records from the state. Maybe maybe we're missing something.
But when they showed up yesterday, just as we suspected,
none of those resources, no National Guards, troops, no engines
(05:47):
were sent to the Palisades, not one.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Are you deposing people yet in government? You know, in
the Fire Department, the DWP, the Governor's office, I mean, like,
what is the I know this is going to take
quite a while, but how does a lawsuit like this
progress when you have so many plaintiffs and such a
complicated case and such a long investigation, like where are
we now and how long is it going to take
(06:13):
before there's you know, some time some type of presentation.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Well, because we have, by our best estimate, there's going
to be over ten thousand total plaintiffs in the court,
there's one judge handling all the cases, and that that
judge has said, we're going to hold off on what
we call discovery, which is where we take depositions. We're
going to hold that until we've got an accurate count
of everybody in the case, which should be you know
(06:41):
by I'm going to say September, and then we should
have a lift of the discovery stay and then we
can start taking depositions. In the meantime, while that stay's
been in effect, we've been using the Public Records Act
request to start to gather records. But the depots will
start and everybody's going to be deposed. We're going to
oppose you know, the people from l A f D,
(07:03):
people from the state, people from the city. It's going
to be a long process, but the more information.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
We get are you're going to depose public officials. Public
officials like Kristin Crowley, who was the fire chief, Karen
Bass the mayor. Do they get posed as well?
Speaker 3 (07:19):
All of them, every one of them are going to
be deposed.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Now, Karen Dass was supposed to be deposed for the
the federal judge was investigating where all the homeless money went,
and she hired eleven attorneys to get in the way.
And then the plaintiffs decided to drop that request because
it would take several months to fight her all all
(07:45):
the all the appeals that the eleven attorneys would make.
You think you're going to run into that kind of
behavior with Bass or anybody else.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
Yeah, I expect they're going to try to obstruct our efforts,
but ain't gonna happen. We're going to take all of
their depositions as long as it takes. You know, the
people of the Palisades deserve and the people in Altadena,
all of the fire victims deserve answers from the leaders
directly and not in the form of a scripted press conference.
(08:14):
They need to be put under a hot white light
and cross examined.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
And they will be And who which entities are you
specifically suing?
Speaker 3 (08:24):
So right now we've got in the case the LEDWP,
City Los Angeles and the State of California. There are
also going to be the two county agencies added, the
Las Virgines Municipal Water District and La County Water Works
for some areas in Malibu, Big Rock, and so forth.
(08:45):
But right now, the two primary defendants in the case
currently are State of California.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
And LEDWP LADWP, which is run by the city.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Correct it is the City of Los Angeles acting by
and through the Department of Water and Power. Yep.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Yeah, And so this lawsuit, I guess is going to
be going on for several years.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
Well, historically these wildfire cases do take several years, and
it's just the sheer volume of victims that are, you know, involved,
you know, you've got to manage. And these are all
individual cases. It's not a class action, so that each
case stands on its own. Each case has to be prosecuted.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Wait, but you've got ten thousand, you said.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
Yeah, there's over ten thousand individual cases, you know, and
this is just our rough math. Our firm has over
three thousand, three hundred and then some of the others,
you know, three thousand and two thousand. So by our
rough math, we've got over ten thousand individual plainfs all
consolidated before the same Judge's good, it's just the logistics
of it is what creates the problem. But we're moving.
(09:56):
It's what we want. Hearings every thirty days. We want
to be in front of the judge every thirty days
so we can keep this moving people. You know, justice
delayed is justice denied. So we want to keep the
process moving as quickly as we can.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Right, So it's going to have to come to a settlement.
And so ultimately, you know, what are we looking at
as a possible settlement price? Is there any way to
you know, get in the ballpark? And obviously you're not
negotiating right now, but I'm just trying to understand for
people listening, what's the scope of this case in terms
of the money at stake.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
Well, it's going to be well into the billions. You know,
you can look at different estimates. If you just look
at the structure is destroyed in the Palisades over seven thousand,
you know, it's going to be ten twenty thirty billion dollars.
And that doesn't even include you know, what we call
emotional distress damages, which every fire victims entitled to claim.
(10:52):
So this is going to be well into the billions
and going to have to be funded by the state
in the city.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
And if they had pre position x number of fire
engines in the palisades, like they should have and like
any reasonable mayor and fire chief and governor should have done,
do you think the fire damage would have been greatly mitigated?
Speaker 3 (11:16):
Well, you've got that, and then you've got if you
had water. Yeah, reservoir one hundred and seventy million gallons
is drained and had been drained than months. So even
if you had the crews there, what are they going
to fight the fire with?
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Right, there is no water, So you could preposition to them.
But yeah, you can preposition them, but it doesn't matter.
They don't have the water.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
Wow, exactly. So, I mean it's a comedy of errors.
I mean in the deeper we did, the more stunning
it becomes where you don't have the crews there that
should have been there, especially where you had that Lockman
fire bernade acres. That's when you want those crews to
be there to make sure there's no flare ups. They
had nobody there, and even if they had pre deployed,
(12:02):
I mean you said, well, geez, I got the resources there.
The city didn't provide water. I mean they ran out
of water within hours.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
You know what I every day I am stunned and
overwhelmed by it. Roger Bailey, thank you for coming on.
We will talk again, probably many many times in the future.
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
Take care.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Roger Bailey's representing thousands of Palisade residents.
Speaker 5 (12:21):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
Those of you missed the first hour, We're gonna have
another round of Kamala Harris. The hell is she talking about?
On Steven Goldbert Last Colbert last night. Good lord, we
played a few clips in at one o'clock hour and
it's jest makes your makes your head explode. But now
(12:49):
first it's your turn Moistline. If you want to talk
next week eight seven seven Moist eighty six. Here's what
we got this week. Hey it Sean. Thanks for calling
the Moistline.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
I'm so excited to hear from you.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
About time.
Speaker 6 (13:02):
The government knows where the two billion dollars is. They
just don't admit it and are using their Fifth Amendment
right to be silent and not give the tax payers
their right to know where the money is the small fraction.
Speaker 7 (13:14):
Of people, and they believe in their new world.
Speaker 8 (13:16):
And order, and they.
Speaker 9 (13:18):
Want California along.
Speaker 7 (13:19):
With the rest of their nation, and then eventually the.
Speaker 8 (13:22):
Rest of the world will fall into their lives.
Speaker 5 (13:25):
Rehabilitation should be considered.
Speaker 10 (13:28):
At a part of the prison system.
Speaker 11 (13:30):
If these Trump drained lefties are so adamant about not
having prisons or jails, then how come they're always trying
to get President Trump put into a prison or jail.
Speaker 8 (13:41):
I refuse to meet anybody or talk to anybody in
this state.
Speaker 12 (13:46):
That everybody's a stupid piecing. They all believe whatever.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
They believe so they can get more likes on their little.
Speaker 12 (13:52):
Facebook or whatever they do.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Right.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Yeah, this has given me to smoke a vetty every
day because I can't deal with these is.
Speaker 11 (14:02):
Oh my god, this is complete bs.
Speaker 8 (14:05):
If you are here illegally, you are.
Speaker 11 (14:08):
Not protected by the constitutions.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
It doesn't pertain.
Speaker 11 (14:12):
To you because you are not a citizen of the
United States.
Speaker 13 (14:15):
We are all living in underassessed properties. I think the
ultimate goal with all this homeless and falling apart society
is they want to get long term homeowners to move,
because when they move, the properties get reassessed to the
current market value.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
And that is the.
Speaker 13 (14:33):
Kiss that keeps on giving forever.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
To the County of Los Angeles. Always follow the money.
Here's a red le for you. Why does Karen Bath
sleep during the day because she's a knight mayor. If
people were.
Speaker 12 (14:48):
Aware of their surroundings, someone may have seen that again
and called nine to one one.
Speaker 4 (14:53):
But no, they all have their faces.
Speaker 7 (14:56):
In their phones.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
They don't know what's going on around them.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
What the hell did you think he is going to
snuff that guy walking with a gun.
Speaker 7 (15:04):
Nobody's gonna do that.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
Nobody's gonna stop that.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Guy with a big old gun. What I grow up?
Speaker 2 (15:08):
I'm going to start a nonprofit in Los Angeles. That
way I can get millions of dollars and just keep
it for myself. That's a great business to go to
school for that one.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
So the government has found a legal way to steal.
Speaker 14 (15:21):
People laying in the kind of say, way to go
new them, way to go back.
Speaker 15 (15:26):
God, I hate a happy days are here again here.
I was running Eron's Wednesday when I heard the announcement
that Camela wasn't going to run for the governor, and
I almost pulled over and started dancing. Oh man, that's
good news. Huh.
Speaker 9 (15:39):
We must start at the heart of the problem in
order to stop the destruction of our state Sacramento, beginning
with Newsom in the state legislation, every single progressive office
order must be ring from office. After that, the local
scum was popple like Domino's.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
I just heard the most fantastic news that we don't
have to deal with Kamala.
Speaker 10 (16:01):
Oh my god, dang gong.
Speaker 15 (16:03):
The wick is dead.
Speaker 4 (16:07):
Kamala can't even spell governor.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
They want to read ditric everything.
Speaker 7 (16:11):
But everyone is moving, doesn't that name? With all of the
illegal immigrants that can leave in the country and all
the people are living in California, do you really think.
Speaker 15 (16:20):
Is there going to be enough people here left?
Speaker 16 (16:22):
I think the reason she's not running there's several one
her donors.
Speaker 10 (16:28):
Don't like how she flew through a billion and a.
Speaker 15 (16:30):
Half dollars kind of just watching money. And then the.
Speaker 16 (16:34):
Other thing is with Biden importing twenty million legs.
Speaker 14 (16:39):
Someone will have to break the news to Karen Bass
that she will not be receiving a participation trophy for
her time in office because she hasn't participated in anything
that matters to regular tax paying law, biting citizens, you know,
the people that voted her into office. Maybe she can
buy herself a trophy with a missing two billion when
(17:01):
she finds it.
Speaker 10 (17:02):
What on earth started the Palisades fire?
Speaker 12 (17:05):
Has anyone ever determined that?
Speaker 3 (17:07):
I didn't find any reason that the fire is gone started?
Speaker 12 (17:11):
Have a good day, Kama Freedom Day.
Speaker 11 (17:15):
Thank you for leaving your message.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
Please hang out.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
I's not gonna call there. I did your favorite question. Yes,
we still don't have the answer. We still don't have
the answer which started the Palisades fire when we come back.
All right, there seems to be a lot of people
who were very happy that Kamala has dropped out of
the governor's race. So we've got some new Kamala clips
to play from Stephen Colbert. We ran a few in
(17:38):
the first hour. These are ones you haven't heard yet
unless you stayed up last night to watch, and according
to the ratings, hardly anybody does that sort of thing.
So we'll give you these clips.
Speaker 4 (17:48):
She was in.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
Fine form, absolutely empty, just just a marvel of nature. Really.
Speaker 5 (17:56):
You're listening to John Cobbel's on demand from Kiyov forty.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
We're on every day from one until four o'clock. After
four o'clock John Cobel Show on demand, that's the podcast,
and you can listen to whatever you missed. In fact,
if you just joined us, you missed Roger Bailey exposing
a huge lie that Gavin Newsom has been telling publicly
that he put one hundred and ten fire engines and
twenty five hundred National guardsmen and they went to Pacific
(18:24):
Palisades pre deployed false false false. That was nothing within
I don't know thirty miles of the Palisades, nobody. There's
no fire engines, no strike teams, no guardsmen. He's so
full of it, and he said it clearly on the podcast.
So you got to listen to Roger Bailey. He's the
attorney who represents thousands of Palisades families and boy, there's
(18:48):
a whopper, whopper of a lawsuit that's being put together.
All Right, We're gonna place Kamala Harris last night on
Stephen Colbert. You know, and if my show had just
been announced it was going to be canceled. First guest
I put on is Kamala Harris. I mean, if there's
any chance, since he's got till May, you know, maybe
(19:11):
maybe he could get a huge boost in the ratings
and build up an audience. He's got till May to
do it, and starts with a bang. Kamala Harris, she's
got a new book out, and there's this story. It's
amazing all these syncophants in the media. Two writers, two
writers for the La Times, got together to write a
(19:32):
piece on what's she gonna do if she doesn't run
for office again? You know she could she could start
a podcast. It's like, oh wow, that'd be great. Huh.
Speaker 17 (19:44):
Can you imagine word salads with Kamala heard everywhere on
the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
Oh yeah, but we'd buy that up. Let's start with
let's see Cobra asking Kamala how long it took for
her to watch the news after the election.
Speaker 12 (20:03):
I'm just curious.
Speaker 18 (20:05):
Once once you left office, how long before you turned
on the news again?
Speaker 12 (20:11):
Months? Months? I am you know, I'm just not into
self utilation and I just I yeah, lots of cooking shows,
Oh good, off and stuff Kitchen is one of my favorite.
Speaker 18 (20:27):
Amazing sure, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
Yeah, a rare bit of personality. There, an actual joke
that was kind of funny.
Speaker 12 (20:39):
What you know, I'm just not into self utilation.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
Not many people are, there's a few, but all right,
then she's asked if she's looking at another office.
Speaker 18 (20:51):
You announced yesterday, you made an announcement that you're not
running for the governor of California. Correct, even though in
early polling you beat every other handed by double digits,
you said you're going to set this one out.
Speaker 12 (21:04):
Why are you saying this?
Speaker 18 (21:05):
Are you saving yourself for a different office?
Speaker 12 (21:07):
That might be?
Speaker 1 (21:11):
That's what everybody, listen to the audience. They want her
to run for president. They want her to be president
of the United States. They should all be departed, they
should have their vote taken away. I will trade that
whole audience for you know, give me five hundred illegal aliens,
Give me five hundred convicted felons, give them the vote. Jesus,
(21:35):
all right, continue.
Speaker 18 (21:36):
But obviously people will project onto.
Speaker 12 (21:39):
And honestly that it's it's more perhaps basic than that.
I am Listen, I am a devout public servant. I
have spent my entire career in service of the people.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
And I thought it, I'm a devout public servant, my
entire career in service of other people, which is what
a public servant is. I'm glad she's got two sentences,
two ways of explaining the same concept. All right, now
she's back to normal. That was an aberration that first clip.
Must have been a writer she had who put in
(22:15):
those jokes. All right, go back.
Speaker 12 (22:16):
I am a devout public servant. I have spent my
entire career in service of the people, and I thought
a lot about running for governor. I love my state,
I love California. I've served as just elected district attorney,
attorney general, and senator. But to be very candid with.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
You, I because otherwise I'm not you know, when I.
Speaker 12 (22:38):
Was a young in my career, I had to defend
my decision to become a prosecutor with my family. And
one of the points that I made is why is
it then, when we think we want to improve a
system or change it, that we're always on the outside
of the well.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
On a second, when did she have to defend because
she was a prosecutor.
Speaker 17 (23:01):
She was saying she had to defend it to her family,
Like the decision to become she didn't have a family,
she wasn't married, she didn't have kids. Maybe her parents her.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
Parents because she was a grown woman, she was probably
in her thirties. She's I didn't defend my decision, but
to have a job, all right.
Speaker 12 (23:19):
Continue light on bended knee or trying to break down
the door. Shouldn't we also be inside the system? And
that has been my career, And recently I made the
decision that I just, for now, I don't want to
go back in the system. I think it's broken. I
(23:39):
think it's there's so much I mean, there are so
many good people who are public servants, and I'm one
of such good work teachers and firefighters and police officers
and nurses and scientists, scientists.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
Scientists, scientists, scientists, and.
Speaker 12 (23:57):
So it's not about them. But you know, I believe, yes,
And I always believed that as fragile as our democracy is,
our systems would be strong enough to defend our most
fundamental principles. And I think right now that well, I'm
(24:21):
getting they're not as strong as they need to be.
And I just don't want to for now, I don't
want to go back in the system. I want to
I want to travel the country. I want to listen
to people, I want to touch work people, and I
don't want to be a transaction where I'm asking for their.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
Vote she's talking and listening to people. Well, if you're
doing that, what are you going to do that for?
What's what's the reason?
Speaker 4 (24:42):
Well?
Speaker 1 (24:42):
Yeah, I mean if you're not running for anything anymore,
and you had your chance to talk and listen to
people and they said, hey, what would you do different
than Joe Biden?
Speaker 8 (24:51):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Nothing? Well that's why you lost. If you had made
a plausible case on how you were going to do
things differently, you could have won. Potentially. No, everything's fine.
Why you're you're gonna except you know what do I know?
You hear that crowd right, they're ready to carry off?
All right, let's do this next one. Uh So Colbert
(25:16):
follows up on this idea of the system is broken.
Speaker 18 (25:19):
To hear you say that it's broken, to hear you
say that our systems aren't strong enough.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
Is heroin?
Speaker 12 (25:26):
Well, but it's also evident, isn't it?
Speaker 9 (25:29):
No?
Speaker 17 (25:30):
And it is, and it is harrowing, I mean, and
it is.
Speaker 18 (25:33):
I mean there's there, there, there there, there's there's almost no.
Speaker 12 (25:38):
But it doesn't mean we give up. That's not my.
Speaker 18 (25:40):
Point, because I'm hearing like, you don't want to be part.
Speaker 12 (25:42):
Of No, absolutely not. I'm always going to be part
of the fight. That is not that I'm absolutely going
to be part of the fight, but I think that
we have to acknowledge and agree that. I mean, look,
the power is with the people. That has always been
the ideal, and I say the strength of our nation
(26:06):
of America that we believe fundamentally the powers with the
people are.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
People actually in the audience nodding along as if she
makes sense. Is Colbert thinking? It's like, what is he thinking?
He's not a stupid guy. He's actually bobbing his head
along with this circular salad nonsense.
Speaker 12 (26:24):
Play some more and we the people, and I believe
right now that it is important to do what I
can do from the positions that I have held and
what I have seen about the world in our country,
to get out there and remind everyone who needs reminding
right now of their power. It is our government, it
(26:46):
is our country, and it is important. I think, Oh
my god, in this moment.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
We'll stop. I mean, how many people are bagging their
heads against the windshield right now? There could be accidents
all over the freeways if we keep playing this stuff
much more time in this clip.
Speaker 17 (27:02):
Like forty five seconds, forty five seconds, we gotta break,
We gotta break, We gotta break permanently, No more, Kamala.
Speaker 5 (27:10):
You're listening to John Cobel on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
John Cobalt, time for round two of the Moistline.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
Now and John, thanks for calling the Moistline. I'm so
excited to hear from you.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
Come out time.
Speaker 16 (27:25):
The reason Camilla doesn't want to be governor is because
here in a year, everything awful in this stake's gonna
come alive, and whoever's in charge is gonna get their
finger point right at them, and that don't want it
to be her.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
I think I know what Kamala Harris is gonna do.
Speaker 6 (27:44):
That she's not gonna run for governor.
Speaker 4 (27:47):
She is going to.
Speaker 6 (27:49):
Become a YouTuber and travel the United States.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
Do you know how fantastic the news is about Kamala
Harris not run.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
There might be a chance.
Speaker 14 (28:02):
The businesses come back to California.
Speaker 3 (28:04):
Taxes might be lowered, gask lord, and.
Speaker 11 (28:08):
It's just fantastic news.
Speaker 4 (28:10):
It is awesome.
Speaker 7 (28:11):
One gun of a woman.
Speaker 19 (28:14):
Down, one more gun of a woman to go mayor with.
Speaker 10 (28:19):
A cabal not wanting to run for governor, and I
hear that she wants to help others in their bits
for the Democratic Party. I'm curious who is going to
watch her endorsement.
Speaker 15 (28:31):
He hit the mail right on the head with the
people texting at the light, especially the first car on line.
Speaker 7 (28:38):
Can't we have the federal government come in and audit
the state of California for all the misuse of taxpayer funds.
Every time we fund something, we end up missing billions
of dollars.
Speaker 4 (28:50):
I got an idea governor need some gruesome whatever his
name is. If you care about my mental health, why
don't you just resigning with them that office I'll build.
It's better about myself living with this speak.
Speaker 3 (29:02):
Oh wait, all of a sudden, mayor bath.
Speaker 15 (29:04):
She's at the homeless encampment of the Buddy get cleaned out,
and she wants to stand there in front of the
cameras and say oven all over the world has never
seen her.
Speaker 3 (29:12):
To be liked this, Oh yeah, I bet you have.
She is a hypocrite, She is a hipocrid.
Speaker 7 (29:19):
You guys need to get rid of her.
Speaker 19 (29:21):
The only reason Karen Bass gives a crap about kicking
homeless out of an eyes right now is the same
reason they're upgrading the whole metro station. It's because of
the twenty twenty eighth Olympics. They're trying to put on
a good show for the world. And as the Olympics
are done, it's all going to go back to business
the future. Everybody in Los Angeles, we need to take
(29:43):
pictures of encampments with the cross streets.
Speaker 7 (29:47):
Send it to.
Speaker 5 (29:48):
Karen Bass's office, post it all over X. She knows
about this stuff.
Speaker 19 (29:53):
She's the exact person she's describing, sleeping on comfy.
Speaker 7 (29:57):
Bed while those people are out on the street.
Speaker 9 (30:00):
We've had enough.
Speaker 8 (30:02):
It amazes me, but that everybody is always so baffled.
Speaker 17 (30:06):
Why these professional politicians can't do business?
Speaker 7 (30:11):
What you don't have invoices, You don't have any kind of.
Speaker 12 (30:16):
A business plan for a speed rail?
Speaker 1 (30:19):
What the hell?
Speaker 3 (30:20):
None of them have ever done anything in the business world,
so why would you expect them.
Speaker 17 (30:24):
To know anything.
Speaker 8 (30:25):
Maybe the FEDS need to come in and start prosecuting
all these scam artists, politicians and contractors that literally have
been stealing billions of our hard earned money and have
will not produced a darn thing except you know, vacations
in themselves expensive homes.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
Thank you for leaving your message. Please hang up, goodbye,
all right eight seven seven moist eighty six, eight seven
seven moist steady six. Well, that was a lot of
anti camel ven I'm there. I think they were watching
on The Colbert Show last night. That's why we laid
the clips, you know, as a public service, because I
(31:03):
am a public servant. We aimed to please. I am
a public servant who does public service. All Right, Thompson, Right,
Mark Thompson's coming in next in for Conway, and we'll
be back on Monday. Heather Brooker has the news live
in the CAFI twenty four our newsroom. Hey, you've been
listening to The John Cobalt Show podcast. You can always
hear the show live on KFI AM six forty from
(31:24):
one to four pm every Monday through Friday, and of
course anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
I am six forty. You're listening to the John Cobel
podcast on the iHeartRadio app. We are on every day
from one un till four o'clock and on Fridays. Two
big bonuses. Well, one bonus is every day the podcast
after four o'clock. We post the radio show as a podcast,
so if you missed it, that's how you catch up,
(00:21):
and you could listen to today's show or any show
all weekend long, anytime. And then the bonus down Friday
itself is two rounds of the Moistline at around three
twenty or so and three fifty. First thing is we're
going to talk to Roger Bailey. Roger Bailey is an
attorney for many of the Pacific Palisades' residents who were
burned out in the Big Fire. Gavin Newsom claims publicly
(00:43):
that he sent one hundred and ten engines and twenty
five hundred National guardsmen. They were prepositioned to the Palisades
before January seventh. We have a little clip this is
from the Sean Ryan podcast where he says exactly that
told you twenty five on I deployed during the fires.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
They were there before the fires occurred in La I
pre deployed one hundred and ten engines pre deployed.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
The National Guard was part of the pre deployment. Okay,
one hundred and ten engines, twenty five hundred National Guard troops.
I can't tell you how many people I know got
burned out in the fire. And everybody I've talked to
never saw a single fire engine from anywhere, let alone
National guardsmen in the day or days before the January
(01:32):
seventh fire. Let's go to Roger Bailey, who's the lead
attorney on this case. Roger, how are you.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
I'm good, John, Good to talk to you again.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Well, you requested under the Public Records Act. I guess
all the documents to support Newsom's claims of one hundred
and ten fire engines twenty five hundred National guardsmen in
the Palisades pre deployed. What did you find?
Speaker 3 (02:01):
Well, like you, everybody we've talked to, we represent over
three thousand Palisades fire victims, and every one of them
said there was no fire presence before the fire started,
not from any agency. So this interview was given by
Newsom on the Sean Ryan podcast. My wife happened to
(02:22):
hear it and said, you know, listen Newsom says he
sent twenty five hundred National guardsmen and one hundred and
ten engines. And I said, well, that doesn't square with
anything we've heard. So we sent this the records request off.
We got the records yesterday and it shows that there
were forty five engines deployed to southern California. None to
(02:46):
the Palisades. They were the closest area. They sent, you know,
a couple of strike teams to Santa Clarita, but the
other forty five engines were San Diego, Riverside. They were
all over the place, none to the Palisades. And the
reason this is problematic is because we had in the
Palisades the Lachman fire that people remember burning on January first,
(03:10):
at burned eight acres. So if you're gonna send resources anywhere,
you send them to where there was just a recent fire,
not to Riverside or not to Santa Clarita. But let's
get the resources there at that burns card they had
nobody there.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Yeah, and you have a list in the document you
sent us that they sent strike teams to Ventura County,
San Bernardino County, Saint Luis Obispo, San Diego, County, Riverside County,
Orange County, and in La County. They were staged in
Santa Clarita, nothing near Pacific Palisades. So did he completely
(03:47):
lie in that Sean Ryan interview.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Well, it sure sounds like it to me, he says
repeatedly in a couple different spots. He's very proud that
he preyed. And he keeps saying LA. I pre deployed
National guardsmen to l A. I pre deployed one hundred
and ten engines to LA. But but but as we see,
the only things that went to LA were two strike
(04:13):
teams to Santa Clarita. Nothing went to the Palisades, nothing
went to Altadena. Uh so, you know, his whole point
was apparently you know, look, I was on top of it.
I had the resources there in advance. He didn't have
anything there in advance. And he also, if you as
(04:33):
you heard, he said the fire started on federal land,
which is also not true.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Oh he said that too, Yeah, I said that.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
He said this fire ignited on federal property, and we'd
noticed as Topega Canyon State Park. So anyway, there's just
so many different lies that that came out of that interview.
We're still pulling them out. But yeah, it's it's unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
It is unbelievable. It's it's in the middle of a rant,
of course, against Trump's use of the National Guard in
Los Angeles over the ice raids, and then he went
off about how he properly used the National Guard in
pre deployment for the fires. Do you have anybody else
in government making this claim, anybody that's got any proof
(05:17):
that Newsome is anywhere close to the truth in any sense.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
No, it's quite the opposite.
Speaker 4 (05:25):
It's the opposite.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
I mean, you know, everything that comes out of this
guy's mouth just as seems to be a lie. And
it's just when we heard this, we said, let's get
the records from the state. Maybe maybe we're missing something.
But when they showed up yesterday, just as we suspected,
none of those resources, no National Guards, troops, no engines
(05:47):
were sent to the Palisades, not one.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Are you deposing people yet in government? You know, in
the Fire Department, the DWP, the Governor's office, I mean, like,
what is the I know this is going to take
quite a while, but how does a lawsuit like this
progress when you have so many plaintiffs and such a
complicated case and such a long investigation, like where are
we now and how long is it going to take
(06:13):
before there's you know, some time some type of presentation.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Well, because we have, by our best estimate, there's going
to be over ten thousand total plaintiffs in the court,
there's one judge handling all the cases, and that that
judge has said, we're going to hold off on what
we call discovery, which is where we take depositions. We're
going to hold that until we've got an accurate count
of everybody in the case, which should be you know
(06:41):
by I'm going to say September, and then we should
have a lift of the discovery stay and then we
can start taking depositions. In the meantime, while that stay's
been in effect, we've been using the Public Records Act
request to start to gather records. But the depots will
start and everybody's going to be deposed. We're going to
oppose you know, the people from l A f D,
(07:03):
people from the state, people from the city. It's going
to be a long process, but the more information.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
We get are you're going to depose public officials. Public
officials like Kristin Crowley, who was the fire chief, Karen
Bass the mayor. Do they get posed as well?
Speaker 3 (07:19):
All of them, every one of them are going to
be deposed.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Now, Karen Dass was supposed to be deposed for the
the federal judge was investigating where all the homeless money went,
and she hired eleven attorneys to get in the way.
And then the plaintiffs decided to drop that request because
it would take several months to fight her all all
(07:45):
the all the appeals that the eleven attorneys would make.
You think you're going to run into that kind of
behavior with Bass or anybody else.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
Yeah, I expect they're going to try to obstruct our efforts,
but ain't gonna happen. We're going to take all of
their depositions as long as it takes. You know, the
people of the Palisades deserve and the people in Altadena,
all of the fire victims deserve answers from the leaders
directly and not in the form of a scripted press conference.
(08:14):
They need to be put under a hot white light
and cross examined.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
And they will be And who which entities are you
specifically suing?
Speaker 3 (08:24):
So right now we've got in the case the LEDWP,
City Los Angeles and the State of California. There are
also going to be the two county agencies added, the
Las Virgines Municipal Water District and La County Water Works
for some areas in Malibu, Big Rock, and so forth.
(08:45):
But right now, the two primary defendants in the case
currently are State of California.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
And LEDWP LADWP, which is run by the city.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Correct it is the City of Los Angeles acting by
and through the Department of Water and Power. Yep.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Yeah, And so this lawsuit, I guess is going to
be going on for several years.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
Well, historically these wildfire cases do take several years, and
it's just the sheer volume of victims that are, you know, involved,
you know, you've got to manage. And these are all
individual cases. It's not a class action, so that each
case stands on its own. Each case has to be prosecuted.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Wait, but you've got ten thousand, you said.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
Yeah, there's over ten thousand individual cases, you know, and
this is just our rough math. Our firm has over
three thousand, three hundred and then some of the others,
you know, three thousand and two thousand. So by our
rough math, we've got over ten thousand individual plainfs all
consolidated before the same Judge's good, it's just the logistics
of it is what creates the problem. But we're moving.
(09:56):
It's what we want. Hearings every thirty days. We want
to be in front of the judge every thirty days
so we can keep this moving people. You know, justice
delayed is justice denied. So we want to keep the
process moving as quickly as we can.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Right, So it's going to have to come to a settlement.
And so ultimately, you know, what are we looking at
as a possible settlement price? Is there any way to
you know, get in the ballpark? And obviously you're not
negotiating right now, but I'm just trying to understand for
people listening, what's the scope of this case in terms
of the money at stake.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
Well, it's going to be well into the billions. You know,
you can look at different estimates. If you just look
at the structure is destroyed in the Palisades over seven thousand,
you know, it's going to be ten twenty thirty billion dollars.
And that doesn't even include you know, what we call
emotional distress damages, which every fire victims entitled to claim.
(10:52):
So this is going to be well into the billions
and going to have to be funded by the state
in the city.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
And if they had pre position x number of fire
engines in the palisades, like they should have and like
any reasonable mayor and fire chief and governor should have done,
do you think the fire damage would have been greatly mitigated?
Speaker 3 (11:16):
Well, you've got that, and then you've got if you
had water. Yeah, reservoir one hundred and seventy million gallons
is drained and had been drained than months. So even
if you had the crews there, what are they going
to fight the fire with?
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Right, there is no water, So you could preposition to them.
But yeah, you can preposition them, but it doesn't matter.
They don't have the water.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
Wow, exactly. So, I mean it's a comedy of errors.
I mean in the deeper we did, the more stunning
it becomes where you don't have the crews there that
should have been there, especially where you had that Lockman
fire bernade acres. That's when you want those crews to
be there to make sure there's no flare ups. They
had nobody there, and even if they had pre deployed,
(12:02):
I mean you said, well, geez, I got the resources there.
The city didn't provide water. I mean they ran out
of water within hours.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
You know what I every day I am stunned and
overwhelmed by it. Roger Bailey, thank you for coming on.
We will talk again, probably many many times in the future.
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
Take care.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Roger Bailey's representing thousands of Palisade residents.
Speaker 5 (12:21):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
Those of you missed the first hour, We're gonna have
another round of Kamala Harris. The hell is she talking about?
On Steven Goldbert Last Colbert last night. Good lord, we
played a few clips in at one o'clock hour and
it's jest makes your makes your head explode. But now
(12:49):
first it's your turn Moistline. If you want to talk
next week eight seven seven Moist eighty six. Here's what
we got this week. Hey it Sean. Thanks for calling
the Moistline.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
I'm so excited to hear from you.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
About time.
Speaker 6 (13:02):
The government knows where the two billion dollars is. They
just don't admit it and are using their Fifth Amendment
right to be silent and not give the tax payers
their right to know where the money is the small fraction.
Speaker 7 (13:14):
Of people, and they believe in their new world.
Speaker 8 (13:16):
And order, and they.
Speaker 9 (13:18):
Want California along.
Speaker 7 (13:19):
With the rest of their nation, and then eventually the.
Speaker 8 (13:22):
Rest of the world will fall into their lives.
Speaker 5 (13:25):
Rehabilitation should be considered.
Speaker 10 (13:28):
At a part of the prison system.
Speaker 11 (13:30):
If these Trump drained lefties are so adamant about not
having prisons or jails, then how come they're always trying
to get President Trump put into a prison or jail.
Speaker 8 (13:41):
I refuse to meet anybody or talk to anybody in
this state.
Speaker 12 (13:46):
That everybody's a stupid piecing. They all believe whatever.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
They believe so they can get more likes on their little.
Speaker 12 (13:52):
Facebook or whatever they do.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Right.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Yeah, this has given me to smoke a vetty every
day because I can't deal with these is.
Speaker 11 (14:02):
Oh my god, this is complete bs.
Speaker 8 (14:05):
If you are here illegally, you are.
Speaker 11 (14:08):
Not protected by the constitutions.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
It doesn't pertain.
Speaker 11 (14:12):
To you because you are not a citizen of the
United States.
Speaker 13 (14:15):
We are all living in underassessed properties. I think the
ultimate goal with all this homeless and falling apart society
is they want to get long term homeowners to move,
because when they move, the properties get reassessed to the
current market value.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
And that is the.
Speaker 13 (14:33):
Kiss that keeps on giving forever.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
To the County of Los Angeles. Always follow the money.
Here's a red le for you. Why does Karen Bath
sleep during the day because she's a knight mayor. If
people were.
Speaker 12 (14:48):
Aware of their surroundings, someone may have seen that again
and called nine to one one.
Speaker 4 (14:53):
But no, they all have their faces.
Speaker 7 (14:56):
In their phones.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
They don't know what's going on around them.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
What the hell did you think he is going to
snuff that guy walking with a gun.
Speaker 7 (15:04):
Nobody's gonna do that.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
Nobody's gonna stop that.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Guy with a big old gun. What I grow up?
Speaker 2 (15:08):
I'm going to start a nonprofit in Los Angeles. That
way I can get millions of dollars and just keep
it for myself. That's a great business to go to
school for that one.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
So the government has found a legal way to steal.
Speaker 14 (15:21):
People laying in the kind of say, way to go
new them, way to go back.
Speaker 15 (15:26):
God, I hate a happy days are here again here.
I was running Eron's Wednesday when I heard the announcement
that Camela wasn't going to run for the governor, and
I almost pulled over and started dancing. Oh man, that's
good news. Huh.
Speaker 9 (15:39):
We must start at the heart of the problem in
order to stop the destruction of our state Sacramento, beginning
with Newsom in the state legislation, every single progressive office
order must be ring from office. After that, the local
scum was popple like Domino's.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
I just heard the most fantastic news that we don't
have to deal with Kamala.
Speaker 10 (16:01):
Oh my god, dang gong.
Speaker 15 (16:03):
The wick is dead.
Speaker 4 (16:07):
Kamala can't even spell governor.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
They want to read ditric everything.
Speaker 7 (16:11):
But everyone is moving, doesn't that name? With all of the
illegal immigrants that can leave in the country and all
the people are living in California, do you really think.
Speaker 15 (16:20):
Is there going to be enough people here left?
Speaker 16 (16:22):
I think the reason she's not running there's several one
her donors.
Speaker 10 (16:28):
Don't like how she flew through a billion and a.
Speaker 15 (16:30):
Half dollars kind of just watching money. And then the.
Speaker 16 (16:34):
Other thing is with Biden importing twenty million legs.
Speaker 14 (16:39):
Someone will have to break the news to Karen Bass
that she will not be receiving a participation trophy for
her time in office because she hasn't participated in anything
that matters to regular tax paying law, biting citizens, you know,
the people that voted her into office. Maybe she can
buy herself a trophy with a missing two billion when
(17:01):
she finds it.
Speaker 10 (17:02):
What on earth started the Palisades fire?
Speaker 12 (17:05):
Has anyone ever determined that?
Speaker 3 (17:07):
I didn't find any reason that the fire is gone started?
Speaker 12 (17:11):
Have a good day, Kama Freedom Day.
Speaker 11 (17:15):
Thank you for leaving your message.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
Please hang out.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
I's not gonna call there. I did your favorite question. Yes,
we still don't have the answer. We still don't have
the answer which started the Palisades fire when we come back.
All right, there seems to be a lot of people
who were very happy that Kamala has dropped out of
the governor's race. So we've got some new Kamala clips
to play from Stephen Colbert. We ran a few in
(17:38):
the first hour. These are ones you haven't heard yet
unless you stayed up last night to watch, and according
to the ratings, hardly anybody does that sort of thing.
So we'll give you these clips.
Speaker 4 (17:48):
She was in.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
Fine form, absolutely empty, just just a marvel of nature. Really.
Speaker 5 (17:56):
You're listening to John Cobbel's on demand from Kiyov forty.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
We're on every day from one until four o'clock. After
four o'clock John Cobel Show on demand, that's the podcast,
and you can listen to whatever you missed. In fact,
if you just joined us, you missed Roger Bailey exposing
a huge lie that Gavin Newsom has been telling publicly
that he put one hundred and ten fire engines and
twenty five hundred National guardsmen and they went to Pacific
(18:24):
Palisades pre deployed false false false. That was nothing within
I don't know thirty miles of the Palisades, nobody. There's
no fire engines, no strike teams, no guardsmen. He's so
full of it, and he said it clearly on the podcast.
So you got to listen to Roger Bailey. He's the
attorney who represents thousands of Palisades families and boy, there's
(18:48):
a whopper, whopper of a lawsuit that's being put together.
All Right, We're gonna place Kamala Harris last night on
Stephen Colbert. You know, and if my show had just
been announced it was going to be canceled. First guest
I put on is Kamala Harris. I mean, if there's
any chance, since he's got till May, you know, maybe
(19:11):
maybe he could get a huge boost in the ratings
and build up an audience. He's got till May to
do it, and starts with a bang. Kamala Harris, she's
got a new book out, and there's this story. It's
amazing all these syncophants in the media. Two writers, two
writers for the La Times, got together to write a
(19:32):
piece on what's she gonna do if she doesn't run
for office again? You know she could she could start
a podcast. It's like, oh wow, that'd be great. Huh.
Speaker 17 (19:44):
Can you imagine word salads with Kamala heard everywhere on
the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
Oh yeah, but we'd buy that up. Let's start with
let's see Cobra asking Kamala how long it took for
her to watch the news after the election.
Speaker 12 (20:03):
I'm just curious.
Speaker 18 (20:05):
Once once you left office, how long before you turned
on the news again?
Speaker 12 (20:11):
Months? Months? I am you know, I'm just not into
self utilation and I just I yeah, lots of cooking shows,
Oh good, off and stuff Kitchen is one of my favorite.
Speaker 18 (20:27):
Amazing sure, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
Yeah, a rare bit of personality. There, an actual joke
that was kind of funny.
Speaker 12 (20:39):
What you know, I'm just not into self utilation.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
Not many people are, there's a few, but all right,
then she's asked if she's looking at another office.
Speaker 18 (20:51):
You announced yesterday, you made an announcement that you're not
running for the governor of California. Correct, even though in
early polling you beat every other handed by double digits,
you said you're going to set this one out.
Speaker 12 (21:04):
Why are you saying this?
Speaker 18 (21:05):
Are you saving yourself for a different office?
Speaker 12 (21:07):
That might be?
Speaker 1 (21:11):
That's what everybody, listen to the audience. They want her
to run for president. They want her to be president
of the United States. They should all be departed, they
should have their vote taken away. I will trade that
whole audience for you know, give me five hundred illegal aliens,
Give me five hundred convicted felons, give them the vote. Jesus,
(21:35):
all right, continue.
Speaker 18 (21:36):
But obviously people will project onto.
Speaker 12 (21:39):
And honestly that it's it's more perhaps basic than that.
I am Listen, I am a devout public servant. I
have spent my entire career in service of the people.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
And I thought it, I'm a devout public servant, my
entire career in service of other people, which is what
a public servant is. I'm glad she's got two sentences,
two ways of explaining the same concept. All right, now
she's back to normal. That was an aberration that first clip.
Must have been a writer she had who put in
(22:15):
those jokes. All right, go back.
Speaker 12 (22:16):
I am a devout public servant. I have spent my
entire career in service of the people, and I thought
a lot about running for governor. I love my state,
I love California. I've served as just elected district attorney,
attorney general, and senator. But to be very candid with.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
You, I because otherwise I'm not you know, when I.
Speaker 12 (22:38):
Was a young in my career, I had to defend
my decision to become a prosecutor with my family. And
one of the points that I made is why is
it then, when we think we want to improve a
system or change it, that we're always on the outside
of the well.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
On a second, when did she have to defend because
she was a prosecutor.
Speaker 17 (23:01):
She was saying she had to defend it to her family,
Like the decision to become she didn't have a family,
she wasn't married, she didn't have kids. Maybe her parents her.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
Parents because she was a grown woman, she was probably
in her thirties. She's I didn't defend my decision, but
to have a job, all right.
Speaker 12 (23:19):
Continue light on bended knee or trying to break down
the door. Shouldn't we also be inside the system? And
that has been my career, And recently I made the
decision that I just, for now, I don't want to
go back in the system. I think it's broken. I
(23:39):
think it's there's so much I mean, there are so
many good people who are public servants, and I'm one
of such good work teachers and firefighters and police officers
and nurses and scientists, scientists.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
Scientists, scientists, scientists, and.
Speaker 12 (23:57):
So it's not about them. But you know, I believe, yes,
And I always believed that as fragile as our democracy is,
our systems would be strong enough to defend our most
fundamental principles. And I think right now that well, I'm
(24:21):
getting they're not as strong as they need to be.
And I just don't want to for now, I don't
want to go back in the system. I want to
I want to travel the country. I want to listen
to people, I want to touch work people, and I
don't want to be a transaction where I'm asking for their.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
Vote she's talking and listening to people. Well, if you're
doing that, what are you going to do that for?
What's what's the reason?
Speaker 4 (24:42):
Well?
Speaker 1 (24:42):
Yeah, I mean if you're not running for anything anymore,
and you had your chance to talk and listen to
people and they said, hey, what would you do different
than Joe Biden?
Speaker 8 (24:51):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Nothing? Well that's why you lost. If you had made
a plausible case on how you were going to do
things differently, you could have won. Potentially. No, everything's fine.
Why you're you're gonna except you know what do I know?
You hear that crowd right, they're ready to carry off?
All right, let's do this next one. Uh So Colbert
(25:16):
follows up on this idea of the system is broken.
Speaker 18 (25:19):
To hear you say that it's broken, to hear you
say that our systems aren't strong enough.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
Is heroin?
Speaker 12 (25:26):
Well, but it's also evident, isn't it?
Speaker 9 (25:29):
No?
Speaker 17 (25:30):
And it is, and it is harrowing, I mean, and
it is.
Speaker 18 (25:33):
I mean there's there, there, there there, there's there's almost no.
Speaker 12 (25:38):
But it doesn't mean we give up. That's not my.
Speaker 18 (25:40):
Point, because I'm hearing like, you don't want to be part.
Speaker 12 (25:42):
Of No, absolutely not. I'm always going to be part
of the fight. That is not that I'm absolutely going
to be part of the fight, but I think that
we have to acknowledge and agree that. I mean, look,
the power is with the people. That has always been
the ideal, and I say the strength of our nation
(26:06):
of America that we believe fundamentally the powers with the
people are.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
People actually in the audience nodding along as if she
makes sense. Is Colbert thinking? It's like, what is he thinking?
He's not a stupid guy. He's actually bobbing his head
along with this circular salad nonsense.
Speaker 12 (26:24):
Play some more and we the people, and I believe
right now that it is important to do what I
can do from the positions that I have held and
what I have seen about the world in our country,
to get out there and remind everyone who needs reminding
right now of their power. It is our government, it
(26:46):
is our country, and it is important. I think, Oh
my god, in this moment.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
We'll stop. I mean, how many people are bagging their
heads against the windshield right now? There could be accidents
all over the freeways if we keep playing this stuff
much more time in this clip.
Speaker 17 (27:02):
Like forty five seconds, forty five seconds, we gotta break,
We gotta break, We gotta break permanently, No more, Kamala.
Speaker 5 (27:10):
You're listening to John Cobel on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
John Cobalt, time for round two of the Moistline.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
Now and John, thanks for calling the Moistline. I'm so
excited to hear from you.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
Come out time.
Speaker 16 (27:25):
The reason Camilla doesn't want to be governor is because
here in a year, everything awful in this stake's gonna
come alive, and whoever's in charge is gonna get their
finger point right at them, and that don't want it
to be her.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
I think I know what Kamala Harris is gonna do.
Speaker 6 (27:44):
That she's not gonna run for governor.
Speaker 4 (27:47):
She is going to.
Speaker 6 (27:49):
Become a YouTuber and travel the United States.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
Do you know how fantastic the news is about Kamala
Harris not run.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
There might be a chance.
Speaker 14 (28:02):
The businesses come back to California.
Speaker 3 (28:04):
Taxes might be lowered, gask lord, and.
Speaker 11 (28:08):
It's just fantastic news.
Speaker 4 (28:10):
It is awesome.
Speaker 7 (28:11):
One gun of a woman.
Speaker 19 (28:14):
Down, one more gun of a woman to go mayor with.
Speaker 10 (28:19):
A cabal not wanting to run for governor, and I
hear that she wants to help others in their bits
for the Democratic Party. I'm curious who is going to
watch her endorsement.
Speaker 15 (28:31):
He hit the mail right on the head with the
people texting at the light, especially the first car on line.
Speaker 7 (28:38):
Can't we have the federal government come in and audit
the state of California for all the misuse of taxpayer funds.
Every time we fund something, we end up missing billions
of dollars.
Speaker 4 (28:50):
I got an idea governor need some gruesome whatever his
name is. If you care about my mental health, why
don't you just resigning with them that office I'll build.
It's better about myself living with this speak.
Speaker 3 (29:02):
Oh wait, all of a sudden, mayor bath.
Speaker 15 (29:04):
She's at the homeless encampment of the Buddy get cleaned out,
and she wants to stand there in front of the
cameras and say oven all over the world has never
seen her.
Speaker 3 (29:12):
To be liked this, Oh yeah, I bet you have.
She is a hypocrite, She is a hipocrid.
Speaker 7 (29:19):
You guys need to get rid of her.
Speaker 19 (29:21):
The only reason Karen Bass gives a crap about kicking
homeless out of an eyes right now is the same
reason they're upgrading the whole metro station. It's because of
the twenty twenty eighth Olympics. They're trying to put on
a good show for the world. And as the Olympics
are done, it's all going to go back to business
the future. Everybody in Los Angeles, we need to take
(29:43):
pictures of encampments with the cross streets.
Speaker 7 (29:47):
Send it to.
Speaker 5 (29:48):
Karen Bass's office, post it all over X. She knows
about this stuff.
Speaker 19 (29:53):
She's the exact person she's describing, sleeping on comfy.
Speaker 7 (29:57):
Bed while those people are out on the street.
Speaker 9 (30:00):
We've had enough.
Speaker 8 (30:02):
It amazes me, but that everybody is always so baffled.
Speaker 17 (30:06):
Why these professional politicians can't do business?
Speaker 7 (30:11):
What you don't have invoices, You don't have any kind of.
Speaker 12 (30:16):
A business plan for a speed rail?
Speaker 1 (30:19):
What the hell?
Speaker 3 (30:20):
None of them have ever done anything in the business world,
so why would you expect them.
Speaker 17 (30:24):
To know anything.
Speaker 8 (30:25):
Maybe the FEDS need to come in and start prosecuting
all these scam artists, politicians and contractors that literally have
been stealing billions of our hard earned money and have
will not produced a darn thing except you know, vacations
in themselves expensive homes.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
