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 on every day from one until four o'clock. Then
after four o'clock John Cobel Show on demand or something
like that. It's the podcast version of the show. It's
the same as the radio and after four o'clock, whatever
you missed, you could listen. So not only does W Deborah, Yeah,
(00:24):
Deborah read you the news for hours and hours and
hours every day here on the station. You are on
longer than anybody else. Yeah, more newscast.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Than anybody else.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
What's your point?
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Well, you know.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
She also provides a service for Ray and Eric and I.
Anytime late at night, five in the morning, she sees something,
she sends it out on the text chain. She had
a bulletin last night, which I didn't believe when I
first saw it. I figured up, she's into her gummies again.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
What my gummies alarm anymore? I just wait for a
text for that, bro, That's right.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
I don't turn on the news. It's just my phone
will start digging when something happened. I'm because she doesn't
sleep and she's eternally wired, and the news was that
the Burbank Airport shut down because they had no traffic controllers.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
I thought it was a joke before I sent it
to you. I was vetting and going through all these
different sources.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
That's another thing you do, an immediate investigations. I'm underpaid.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
So let's turn now to ABC News. Is Alex Stone
and he's he's working at a professional media outlet right now.
And that's just sick. I mean, like she does, but
you know from home. But it's and you're not stoned
right now either?
Speaker 1 (01:42):
No? No, no, what? Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
So they didn't end up shutting down, but the tower
did shut down, and this happened a lot quicker than
was expected because in the last shutdown it took over
a month before it was like thirty four days before
air traffic controllers not getting paid again, calling him sick
for work. But remember we talked couple days ago about
this was a possibility and TSA officers as well that
(02:05):
when they go on long enough without a paycheck, that
history would show, and we've seen it over and over
again in shutdowns over the years, that when they can't
pay the mortgage, when they're worried about paying the mortgage,
finding a way to make money or childcare, that they
begin calling in sick and that is what is going
on now, and Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy says, the sick
(02:27):
calls are coming in as air traffic controllers are ordered
to work but don't know when they're going to get
a paycheck again.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
And he's saying, what.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
They think about as their control in our airspace.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Is how am I going to pay my mortgage? How
do I make my car payment?
Speaker 2 (02:40):
And this is what actually ended the last big shutdown,
which was also during President Trump in twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen,
when New York and Florida air traffic was impacted and
then the President very quickly ordered Republicans to make a
deal at that point, so the air traffic controllers got
credit for ending that one. But Duffy is saying, yeah,
the sick calls are coming in, we're tracking sick calls,
(03:01):
sick leave and have we had a slight tick up
in sick calls, yes, and then you'll see delays that
come from that. So it was Burbank yesterday, and then
some of the centers that handle bigger areas regions of
the country in Denver, Phoenix, and Indianapolis that had shortages,
and today we just got the list of what they're
looking at for today.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
So here's the deal. If you're flying, it's not going
to be great.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
They have shortages at the tower in Chicago, at the
tower in Nashville, at Traycon, which handles flights into an
out of major airports, at the Las Vegas Traycon, and
the Houston Traycon arrivals and departures at Newark, New Jersey,
and Boston Center, which handles the high altitude traffic. So
if you're going into any of those regions of the country,
(03:47):
there's going to be problems tonight. But then you look
at Burbanks. So the way it went down from about
four fifteen until ten o'clock last night, the tower was closed.
They did not have enough staffing with the sick calls
to to man that tower. And yeah, it was closing.
Giving the last clearances amid confusion if they were open
or they were closed.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
It sounded like this.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
Still open for a few one eight eight cleuing.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Still open for a few We're going to get you
in here, and then they close the tower. Tower Burban
Cowers posed mon.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
So once they shut it down controllers one hundred and
fifty miles away in San Diego gave takeoff and landing clearances,
but otherwise the pilots were on their own. They were
it was like a on their phone. Well in the
does it mean they stick their hand out the window?
And essentially so what they do is this is what
they would do in a small airport that either doesn't
have an air traffic controller which typically would not have
(04:40):
commercial airliners coming in and out of it, or one
that for whatever reason is unmanned at that moment, where
instead of waving their hand, they get on the radio
and make an announcement of what they're going to do
to make it very clear to say, all other aircraft
in the area, here's what I am doing.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
And it sounded like this Surbank traffic to.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Seven three seven twenty ninety eight, departing one five at Burbank.
So he's saying I'm departing. Everybody get out of my way.
That Southwest flight saying we're departing, and then they announce
when they land when they exit the runway, so anybody
behind them knows that they're off the runway.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
It's all very much. I mean, it's an old school,
rudimentary way of doing it.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
But the people on the Southwest Jet do they know
that the pilot is doing this by himself. Well, I
mean they only know based on the news. These people
knew they were flying out of Burbank last night.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
I was a little scary to think about it that way,
because you'd like to have somebody local that can see
what's going on visually.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Right, It's a little scary, right, So I'm going to
run it myself.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
And the pilots were told to get their clearance delivery
before they push back, which typically they would get on
on the radios of here's what your route's going to
be and all that. That they had to physically call on
a phone and they were given a phone number to.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Call a phone number.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Yeah, they're calling down to San Diego to get it
on their their cell phone and get the information back
and forth. So I mean, it's it's safe the way,
but she is from nineteen eighty two. Well yeah, I
mean to make actual phone calls and everything minus the
cell phone part of it. But it is safe because
the system isn't place for when they've got.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
To do this.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
But it is not the optimal way to do it,
and where they're having to you know, this isn't some
tiny airport in central California where we just have a
bunch as session that's going out.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
We're talking.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
During this period, we were listening as Gulf streams are
going in and out United Southwest, you know, NonStop, because
they're constantly coming in and out of Burbank American Frontier Delta.
They were all doing it and they had to say, Okay,
we just landed, We're getting off the runway. Now the
runway's clear for the next guy behind me. And it
was kind of the team system. Some of them were
(06:44):
kind of giggling about it as they were saying, there's
no tower here.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
This is nuts.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
And luckily it looks like tonight staffing is going to
be okay, but it was not ideal. And now we
wait to see what's going to go on tonight in
Nashville and Chicago, much bigger airports than Burbank that they
can't staff. There was this a coordinated sick out.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
We don't know that.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
The Union for the Air Traffic Controllers says no, that
we're just that things are so already, you know, I mean,
you've heard about all the issues in Newark where it's
just a bad flu going around everybody, that they're already
so tight, where it's like one person calls out sick
and they can't man a tower. At least, that's what
they're saying, it's already so tight. And that now you
(07:24):
got people going, well, I don't know when I'm going
to get a full paycheck again, or a paycheck at all,
and that that they're saying, well, I've got to save
some money, so I'm not going to send my kid
to preschool and you know, pay that however many hundreds
of dollars that's going to be, and that they're trying
to save money.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
It just seems like.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Congress a long time ago should have exempted air traffic
controllers from any of this nonsense.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Well they axempted themselves.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
You know, Congress are getting paid, but air traffic controllers
and TSA officers are not. And let history show TSA officers.
I know not everybody agrees with this, but if this
goes on long enough, we'll be next. We have in
previous shutdowns, they making you know, almost minimum wage, many
of them, not the air traffic controllers, but the TSA officers.
I think the average wage is like twenty two twenty
(08:10):
three dollars an hour.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
That not getting paid.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
That doesn't last very long for somebody who can go
find another job in fast food making more and have
to pay the bills and the gasoline. So they TSA
officers will be the next ones to begin calling not already.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
That's great, all right, that's a lot of good news
you have there.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
There you goes all right, I'm going to go back
to talking with Debora.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
She didn't know anything, so yeah, I knew a lot.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Alex Stone, ABC News on the guys Burbank running out
of air traffic controllers. They don't want to work because
they're not going to be getting paid soon.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
And the TSA, the TSA, Yes, I mean we already
joke about some of these workers and what we see.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
You're going to see a line of terrorists with rocket
launchers standing in line with you.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Yes, it'll be like the Airplane movie, remember that? Okay?
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Uh yeah, Well this is the whole place, the whole
country is going to hell very rapidly, really is all right? Well,
we got more coming up. Deborah Mark live in the
You should start your own app, your own news service. Yeah, yeah,
because you're up anyway, and you can probably make money
with it and just sit there, And.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Is that what you're trying to No? No, no, no.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
In addition to this, to fill in all those empty hours,
lots of empty hours.
Speaker 4 (09:34):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from kf I
Am six forty.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Follow us on social media at John Cobelt Radio and
you could listen to the podcast post it after four
o'clock John Cobelt Show on demand. You know, we've we've
had a lot of news this week about ice, and
a lot in Chicago and Portland because there have been protesters,
(10:05):
sometimes violent. Trump wants to bring in the National Guard.
Governors have gone to court, you know, the whole story.
And I was reading in the Washington Examiner. There's a
good columnist Byron York. You might see him on Fox
News from time to time. And what's lost in all
this with with with the governors and Trump in these
(10:31):
legal battles and these these publicity public relations battles is
what the public thinks of all this. And there's a
new Harvard Caps Harris Pohl, and it's conducted by Bill
Clinton's former polster, Mark Penn, And he asked two simple
questions and about about illegal immigration, and the first was
(10:59):
do you support or oppose deporting immigrants who are here
illegally and have committed crimes. Seventy eight percent of the
public supports deporting immigrants who are here illegally and have
committed crimes. You hear about eighty twenty issues, this is
(11:20):
one of them. To think about that when you see
all these California politicians screaming bloody murder, eighty seven percent
of Republicans want them deported. Seventy seven percent of Independence
and sixty nine percent of Democrats want illegal alien criminals deported.
(11:42):
Now in Los Angeles and California, those people are protected
under Bass and Newsom's sanctuary city policies and sanctuary state policies.
They won't even give up criminals, which is what's fascinating
about this. Even most the voters in their party don't
(12:03):
want these people here in America. And remember independents are
more than a third of the country as well. Everyone
always talks like there's only two sides. There's three sides.
So eighty seven percent of Republicans, seventy seven percent of Democrats,
sixty nine sorry, seventy seven percent of Independence, and sixty
(12:24):
nine percent of Democrats say out of the country if
you're here illegally and you're a criminal. Now, the second question,
do you support or oppose to porting all immigrants who
are here illegally?
Speaker 1 (12:38):
All? All okay?
Speaker 2 (12:40):
So you you dream up your SOB story scenario, Well,
fifty six percent of the country in total still want
everybody kicked out. Fifty six percent, seventy six percent of Republicans,
fifty four percent of Independence, and six percent of Democrats.
(13:02):
Not a majority, but over a third. And that averages
out to fifty six percent say everybody out, and seventy
eight percent said, well, at least the criminals out. And
this is an issue that people vote on because Harvard
Capps Harris asked what are the most important issues facing
(13:25):
the country? The top two are high prices and jobs,
number three healthcare, fourth immigration. So it's a big issue.
It's something people care about and they vote on and
big majorities want everybody out, and super majority want at
least the criminals out out.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
And then you have, you know, the screaming.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Lunatics from these protest groups in the street, backed by
Carried Bass and backed by Gap Newsom, Gavin Newsom is
actively pushing a policy and he's got nationwide advertising this
thing that endangers ice agents when most of the country
(14:16):
supports ice agents, Most Democrats support ice agents. This is
a strange, weird little cult. And I you know, I've
always heard it's like, why do people believe what they
believe in even when clearly with your own eyes the
opposite is true. And people always say, well, they live
(14:37):
in a bubble. They only talk to people who believe
what they believe, They only watch news in quotes that
give them what they want to hear. And I'm always thinking,
come on, really, can you be that deep in a bubble?
And maybe it's because you know, I'm hyper aware of
(14:58):
the news because of the job. Right, I've got to
spend hours a day reading, spend time at night tracking things.
Debra's dinging my phone all the time. There's no way
for me to get away from what's going on. I'm
just teasing.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
It's fine, okay, I'm all yeah, I mean it is
what it is. I mean, would you rather me not
tell you breaking news?
Speaker 4 (15:21):
No?
Speaker 1 (15:21):
No, no, no? Would you rather me be quiet? Don't
answer that?
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Don't ask you know the old lawyer, Yeah, yeah, don't
ask a question lest you know what the answer is
going to be. Okay, No, it's it's very useful to me.
And so I mean, I I don't know how you're
Gabby Newsome. And this has been his signature issue over
the last couple of months, is to be the social
(15:50):
justice warrior for illegal alien criminals and the biggest anti
ice agent guy out there.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
It's like, put take your.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
Masks off so that all the activists conducts you and
start to terrorize your family. I mean the real world,
that's what happens. And he knows that. And it's like,
why do you make a bet with that violent fringe crowd.
Why would you do that when you're running for president?
That is people aren't gonna forget. People go, well, you know,
(16:20):
he wants to impress his base. It's like nobody in
this country who isn't part of that fringe is gonna
forget that.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Right at the outset, he went on.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Stephen Colbert pushing this no mask law and said it
was Trump's standing army and they pledged their loyalty to
Trump and it was all false. It was nasty and
it endangers their lives. Nobody at his own party is
(16:51):
gonna because you weren't going to see Democratic candidates in
this next presidential cycle. They're going to be campaigning on
a type board. They're going to be campaigning on at
least limited deportations. Newsom is carving out a position on
his own island, and nobody wants to be on that
island anymore. It is one of the most toxic issues.
(17:13):
It is a losing issue. If Biden had not opened
the border, he or Harris or somebody else would would
be would be president. But they gave away one of
the most incendiary issues. That's eighty twenty and that's one
of the very top reasons why they lost the election.
(17:34):
And they're going to keep losing. I hope they keep
pushing this and they keep losing, because it's not the
only bad policy they have. But oh my god, I mean,
if you actually look at again, this is Bill Clinton's
old polster here. Okay, he's been on TV trying to
tell the Democrats that maybe the auto take a nap
and calm down because they're all their national positions is
(17:57):
just ruinous. All right, and we come back, all right.
I really enjoy playing fights at Senate hearings because they
have these constantly. They never amount to anything useful, right,
it's just the witness and the senators all yelling at
each other and insulting each other. Today it was Pam Bondi,
(18:19):
the attorney general for Trump, and they were trying to
corner her on Jeffrey Epstein. You know, they want her
to admit that Trump was running around with teenage girls
in Epstein Island. That's really what they're going after. They'd
like her to produce pictures if possible, and she decided
to come back at them with their own personal scandals.
So we've got some pretty entertaining exchanges.
Speaker 4 (18:40):
Next, you're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI
A six forty.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
I'm going to take a break just for a second
because I wanted, I wanted, I wanted to talk about
the Pam Bondi hearings today. But I have seen this
story and I cannot believe it. Gavin Newsom vetoed arrays
for the California State firefighters. It would have increased their wages.
(19:15):
This is CalFire, so that they would be closer to
some of the local fire departments. Local fire departments pay
their firefighters eleven to twenty eleven to twenty nine percent more.
You know what the base pay for a state firefighter is.
This is in California, the land of wildfire. The base
(19:40):
pay is fifty four thousand dollars. A Los Angeles City
firefire fighter has to get to eighty five thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
This pay raise had almost unanimous support.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
From California legislator. Democrats and Republicans both agreed that the
firefighters deserve a big raise. Fifty four thousand dollars does not.
This sounds like a terrible, terrible salary for a firefighter,
for the guys who are out there for two months
out in the wilds.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
Well, it's one hundred and ten degrees. And he vetoted it.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
Why because he's short of money for the illegal aliens.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Oh, he ought to be Can you impeach a governor
in California? He ought to be.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
Impeached for this. This is outrageous. This is, you know,
marching the street stuff. He said that this raise would
put significant cost pressures on the state treasury. You're spending,
no exaggeration, thirty five billion dollars on illegal aliens. You're
(20:59):
spending twelve billion dollars on illegal alien healthcare you spend
twenty two billion dollars on all the other illegal alien
services because we have several million of them in the state.
It's like their own state within state here. He's gotta
be kidding significant cost pressures. It would circumvent the collective
(21:24):
bargaining process.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
That makes no sense.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
Tim Edwards is president of the Local twenty eighty one union.
He told SFGate dot com it's highly disappointing and frustrating
when he vetoes the bill the day before we put
six members on the memorial wall honoring fallen firefighters in
the state of California. Six more dead firefighters are being
(21:53):
honored today and new some celebrates by vetoing their rays.
I it would have cost no more than six hundred
million dollars in the first year, according to the State Assembly.
This is I keep repeating this. The top two things
(22:17):
you should get from a government is police protection and
fire protection, top two from a state government, from a
city government.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
And he won't pay six hundred million.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
This is a three hundred billion dollar state budget and
he doesn't have half a billion to make the state
firefighter salaries competitive. Vocal departments fifty four grand. Would you
take this job? For fifty four grand. You've seen it.
(22:56):
This is what makes me crazy is we have fire
seasons and we see how long it takes, how difficult,
how dangerous the conditions really in is they're literally standing
in hell. They're breathing in all the smoke and toxins.
They end up dying young.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
And this.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
Stupid little bastard Newsome. You know, he couldn't blow out
a match. He would never get his hair, must you
mentioned him fighting a fire. He couldn't lift a bucket
of water. So the real men go out there in
(23:39):
the wilds for weeks and months on end, and they
bring home fifty four grand.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
Wow, that's horrible. That is horrible. All the bad things
he's done, this is one of the worst. I can't
believe this exists, this story. I keep looking at it.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
It's like no this.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
A report from mc California Apartment of Human Resources found
that cal fire staff lagged behind twenty other local fire departments.
State firefighters are scheduled to work more hours than local
fire departments. They have to work one hundred and fifty
(24:20):
six days a year for state firefighters, one hundred and
twenty one for local fire departments. This this is wrong, outrageous, shocking.
You know what, when are the legislators in his own
party if they had sets of gonads and I don't
know what these people have, they should they should turn
on Newsome over this.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
This, this should be Can they override this?
Speaker 2 (24:43):
Because you can override governor's governor's veto with a two
thirds majority, but they're always afraid to. Well, they should
do it here. Wow, Newsom really is a jackass, isn't he.
I'd like to see him do this to the faces
(25:05):
of the firefighters, walk right up to them and say,
you're not worth a raise, You're only worth fifty four
thousand dollars.
Speaker 3 (25:17):
Well, when he runs for president, I'm sure lots of
people are going to be bringing this up.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
I've never seen a guy pick the wrong side of
so many issues what he wants to run for president.
I mean, there are certain people that always make the
wrong decision, and he's one of them. I don't know
what he's doing. It doesn't make any sense. I mean,
I was just gonna say I hope he keeps doing
(25:41):
it because he'd be a horrific president, right, So I'm
happy to see him do stupid things. But I don't
want the firefighters ought to get going to get a
pay raise.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
Absolutely, we don't want them walking off the job, like
the air traffic controllers.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Is anything managed properly anymore?
Speaker 2 (26:00):
Now? Why isn't the people that we absolutely need that's
in charge of keeping us alive? Why aren't they treated properly?
The police have been demonized for way, way too many years.
They're defunded here in LA. The fire department's defunded here
in La. Now cal fire is being given has been
denied a raise. Air traffic controllers are now calling in
(26:22):
sick and protest. They should have been carved out of
this government shutdown. You would have thought after the shutdown
twenty eighteen it was during Trump's administration, because Alex Stunt
told us that it was the chair traffic controllers who
ended the shutdown. Trump ordered the Republicans to cut a
(26:45):
deal back then because you know, the airports were closing down,
So why didn't Why didn't he fix this problem and
make sure they're exempt from having their salaries withhell during
a shutdown. I don't understand anybody here, and this is
(27:07):
the most important stuff. Keep the planes from crashing into
each other, falling.
Speaker 4 (27:10):
From the sky.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Paying guys to put out the fires, paying the police
so they catch the bad guys trying to kill us.
What then.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
I'm gonna go bash my head against the wall. Take
a deep breath. I know it's very upsetting. John. It's
only quarter to two.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
I know you have a long show left a couple hours.
Speaker 4 (27:34):
You're listening to John Cobelts on demand from KFI AM.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
Six forty Susan Shelley, and she, among other things, is
a calumnist for the Southern California News Group, and we're
going to talk about sent it Pill seventy nine because
there are many many people waiting to see if Governor
knews Some signs it, and if he does, then you're
(28:00):
going to see certain residential neighborhoods all over California. They
will be developers will be allowed to put up apartment
complexes and maybe up to seven stories high, depending on
where your neighborhood is centered around. If you live near
(28:20):
what they call transit hubs, which is a fancy word
for a bus stop or a train station, and if
you live within a half mile of those, then your
neighborhood can be affected, which is a lot of people
because just look at the main boulevards that run east
west through La right, La Sunset Boulevard, and Wiltshire and
(28:47):
Santa Monica, just as an example. And this goes for
all the towns Ventor Boulevard, and you know in La County,
Orange County, everything, Well, if there's just a random bus
stop there, you're in the zone. Which means when your
neighbor sells, the new buyer, the developer could put up
(29:07):
a four story or a seven story apartment complex, which is.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
Going to create.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
Unwanted density. It's going to create traffic problems, parking problems.
They're not even required to provide parking spaces. This is terrible.
This came out of the uh brain or bowel of
Scott Wiener and being redundant, his brain is his bowel. Yeah,
(29:36):
it's climate change garbage. And it's also corruption because obviously
developers want this. They can buy a single family lot
and then put up I don't know, twenty apartments, who
knows what the number is going to be, luxury apartments
(30:00):
to make a fortune selling each apartment, each condo, all
to buy one lot. And now you've got to stare
at that thing, and who knows who they're gonna rent
it out to So you work all your life, you
save your money, you buy a house pain and he
(30:23):
asked to meet the mortgage. And here comes Scott Wiener
and Gavin Newsom, whose pockets are full of developer money,
whose eyes are glazed over after their last climate change
worshiping session, and you are screwed. So Susan Shelley is
(30:43):
going to come on to talk about the consequences of
this if he signs it, and it's been sitting on
his desk for a few days. Count Bass is widely
against this, and so is a majority of the city
council because they're gonna have to deal with all the blowboat.
This could be a long running, angry, contentious issue in
(31:08):
this state. So that'll be up right after Deborah's news. Okay,
at two point thirty, we're gonna have Daniel Gusson because uh,
he and I are both still in shock that that.
Karen Bass's deputy mayor, Brian Williams. He was the deputy
mayor in charge of public safety like police and fire.
(31:30):
He's the one who called it a bomb threat, a
bomb threat to city Hall. He got He's not going
to jail for it.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
He got probation, which is which is Rude's claiming mental news.
I don't care mental illness.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
You'll get to call him bomb threats and then there's
there's no punishment. He gets to go home. He's already
been home. Talk about that, Daniel Gusta two thirty Deborah Mark. Wait,
hold on, Deborah's eating.
Speaker 3 (32:04):
I am John brought me French fries, which I tell
him not to because I have I have no willpower
and I really don't need.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
It's good to know that was two hours ago. I know,
I'm they're just about that. Those are cold.
Speaker 3 (32:21):
They are cold, but they're still delicious, So thank you.
And then yeah, all right, please don't do it again.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
I was telling you need a little fattening up there.
Speaker 3 (32:29):
No, I've got plenty of.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
That, that vegan diet is. So you caught me mid fry, Okay,
I usually catch.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
A mid yond. All right, yeah's all right. Let's let's
walk in. Deborah Mark live in the CANFI twenty four
hour Newsroom a.
Speaker 4 (32:45):
FI and KOST HD two, Los Angeles, Orange County.
Speaker 1 (32:50):
More stimulating talk, Gang Raid.
Speaker 3 (32:53):
I'm Deborah Mark, live from the KFI twenty four hour
news from federal and local police have arrested thirteen alleged
Mexican mom FIA affiliate gang members in San Pedro.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
Hey, you've been listening to the John Cobalt Show podcast.
You can always hear the show live on KFI AM
six forty from one to four pm every Monday through Friday,
and of course, anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Can't. I am six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
You're listening to the John Cobel podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
We're on every day from one until four o'clock. Then
after four o'clock John Cobel Show on demand or something
like that. It's the podcast version of the show. It's
the same as the radio and after four o'clock, whatever
you missed, you could listen. So not only does W Deborah, Yeah,
(00:24):
Deborah read you the news for hours and hours and
hours every day here on the station. You are on
longer than anybody else. Yeah, more newscast.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Than anybody else.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
What's your point?
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Well, you know.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
She also provides a service for Ray and Eric and I.
Anytime late at night, five in the morning, she sees something,
she sends it out on the text chain. She had
a bulletin last night, which I didn't believe when I
first saw it. I figured up, she's into her gummies again.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
What my gummies alarm anymore? I just wait for a
text for that, bro, That's right.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
I don't turn on the news. It's just my phone
will start digging when something happened. I'm because she doesn't
sleep and she's eternally wired, and the news was that
the Burbank Airport shut down because they had no traffic controllers.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
I thought it was a joke before I sent it
to you. I was vetting and going through all these
different sources.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
That's another thing you do, an immediate investigations. I'm underpaid.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
So let's turn now to ABC News. Is Alex Stone
and he's he's working at a professional media outlet right now.
And that's just sick. I mean, like she does, but
you know from home. But it's and you're not stoned
right now either?
Speaker 1 (01:42):
No? No, no, what? Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
So they didn't end up shutting down, but the tower
did shut down, and this happened a lot quicker than
was expected because in the last shutdown it took over
a month before it was like thirty four days before
air traffic controllers not getting paid again, calling him sick
for work. But remember we talked couple days ago about
this was a possibility and TSA officers as well that
(02:05):
when they go on long enough without a paycheck, that
history would show, and we've seen it over and over
again in shutdowns over the years, that when they can't
pay the mortgage, when they're worried about paying the mortgage,
finding a way to make money or childcare, that they
begin calling in sick and that is what is going
on now, and Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy says, the sick
(02:27):
calls are coming in as air traffic controllers are ordered
to work but don't know when they're going to get
a paycheck again.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
And he's saying, what.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
They think about as their control in our airspace.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Is how am I going to pay my mortgage? How
do I make my car payment?
Speaker 2 (02:40):
And this is what actually ended the last big shutdown,
which was also during President Trump in twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen,
when New York and Florida air traffic was impacted and
then the President very quickly ordered Republicans to make a
deal at that point, so the air traffic controllers got
credit for ending that one. But Duffy is saying, yeah,
the sick calls are coming in, we're tracking sick calls,
(03:01):
sick leave and have we had a slight tick up
in sick calls, yes, and then you'll see delays that
come from that. So it was Burbank yesterday, and then
some of the centers that handle bigger areas regions of
the country in Denver, Phoenix, and Indianapolis that had shortages,
and today we just got the list of what they're
looking at for today.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
So here's the deal. If you're flying, it's not going
to be great.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
They have shortages at the tower in Chicago, at the
tower in Nashville, at Traycon, which handles flights into an
out of major airports, at the Las Vegas Traycon, and
the Houston Traycon arrivals and departures at Newark, New Jersey,
and Boston Center, which handles the high altitude traffic. So
if you're going into any of those regions of the country,
(03:47):
there's going to be problems tonight. But then you look
at Burbanks. So the way it went down from about
four fifteen until ten o'clock last night, the tower was closed.
They did not have enough staffing with the sick calls
to to man that tower. And yeah, it was closing.
Giving the last clearances amid confusion if they were open
or they were closed.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
It sounded like this.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
Still open for a few one eight eight cleuing.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Still open for a few We're going to get you
in here, and then they close the tower. Tower Burban
Cowers posed mon.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
So once they shut it down controllers one hundred and
fifty miles away in San Diego gave takeoff and landing clearances,
but otherwise the pilots were on their own. They were
it was like a on their phone. Well in the
does it mean they stick their hand out the window?
And essentially so what they do is this is what
they would do in a small airport that either doesn't
have an air traffic controller which typically would not have
(04:40):
commercial airliners coming in and out of it, or one
that for whatever reason is unmanned at that moment, where
instead of waving their hand, they get on the radio
and make an announcement of what they're going to do
to make it very clear to say, all other aircraft
in the area, here's what I am doing.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
And it sounded like this Surbank traffic to.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Seven three seven twenty ninety eight, departing one five at Burbank.
So he's saying I'm departing. Everybody get out of my way.
That Southwest flight saying we're departing, and then they announce
when they land when they exit the runway, so anybody
behind them knows that they're off the runway.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
It's all very much. I mean, it's an old school,
rudimentary way of doing it.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
But the people on the Southwest Jet do they know
that the pilot is doing this by himself. Well, I
mean they only know based on the news. These people
knew they were flying out of Burbank last night.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
I was a little scary to think about it that way,
because you'd like to have somebody local that can see
what's going on visually.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Right, It's a little scary, right, So I'm going to
run it myself.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
And the pilots were told to get their clearance delivery
before they push back, which typically they would get on
on the radios of here's what your route's going to
be and all that. That they had to physically call on
a phone and they were given a phone number to.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Call a phone number.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Yeah, they're calling down to San Diego to get it
on their their cell phone and get the information back
and forth. So I mean, it's it's safe the way,
but she is from nineteen eighty two. Well yeah, I
mean to make actual phone calls and everything minus the
cell phone part of it. But it is safe because
the system isn't place for when they've got.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
To do this.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
But it is not the optimal way to do it,
and where they're having to you know, this isn't some
tiny airport in central California where we just have a
bunch as session that's going out.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
We're talking.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
During this period, we were listening as Gulf streams are
going in and out United Southwest, you know, NonStop, because
they're constantly coming in and out of Burbank American Frontier Delta.
They were all doing it and they had to say, Okay,
we just landed, We're getting off the runway. Now the
runway's clear for the next guy behind me. And it
was kind of the team system. Some of them were
(06:44):
kind of giggling about it as they were saying, there's
no tower here.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
This is nuts.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
And luckily it looks like tonight staffing is going to
be okay, but it was not ideal. And now we
wait to see what's going to go on tonight in
Nashville and Chicago, much bigger airports than Burbank that they
can't staff. There was this a coordinated sick out.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
We don't know that.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
The Union for the Air Traffic Controllers says no, that
we're just that things are so already, you know, I mean,
you've heard about all the issues in Newark where it's
just a bad flu going around everybody, that they're already
so tight, where it's like one person calls out sick
and they can't man a tower. At least, that's what
they're saying, it's already so tight. And that now you
(07:24):
got people going, well, I don't know when I'm going
to get a full paycheck again, or a paycheck at all,
and that that they're saying, well, I've got to save
some money, so I'm not going to send my kid
to preschool and you know, pay that however many hundreds
of dollars that's going to be, and that they're trying
to save money.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
It just seems like.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Congress a long time ago should have exempted air traffic
controllers from any of this nonsense.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Well they axempted themselves.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
You know, Congress are getting paid, but air traffic controllers
and TSA officers are not. And let history show TSA officers.
I know not everybody agrees with this, but if this
goes on long enough, we'll be next. We have in
previous shutdowns, they making you know, almost minimum wage, many
of them, not the air traffic controllers, but the TSA officers.
I think the average wage is like twenty two twenty
(08:10):
three dollars an hour.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
That not getting paid.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
That doesn't last very long for somebody who can go
find another job in fast food making more and have
to pay the bills and the gasoline. So they TSA
officers will be the next ones to begin calling not already.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
That's great, all right, that's a lot of good news
you have there.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
There you goes all right, I'm going to go back
to talking with Debora.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
She didn't know anything, so yeah, I knew a lot.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Alex Stone, ABC News on the guys Burbank running out
of air traffic controllers. They don't want to work because
they're not going to be getting paid soon.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
And the TSA, the TSA, Yes, I mean we already
joke about some of these workers and what we see.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
You're going to see a line of terrorists with rocket
launchers standing in line with you.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Yes, it'll be like the Airplane movie, remember that? Okay?
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Uh yeah, Well this is the whole place, the whole
country is going to hell very rapidly, really is all right? Well,
we got more coming up. Deborah Mark live in the
You should start your own app, your own news service. Yeah, yeah,
because you're up anyway, and you can probably make money
with it and just sit there, And.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Is that what you're trying to No? No, no, no.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
In addition to this, to fill in all those empty hours,
lots of empty hours.
Speaker 4 (09:34):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from kf I
Am six forty.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Follow us on social media at John Cobelt Radio and
you could listen to the podcast post it after four
o'clock John Cobelt Show on demand. You know, we've we've
had a lot of news this week about ice, and
a lot in Chicago and Portland because there have been protesters,
(10:05):
sometimes violent. Trump wants to bring in the National Guard.
Governors have gone to court, you know, the whole story.
And I was reading in the Washington Examiner. There's a
good columnist Byron York. You might see him on Fox
News from time to time. And what's lost in all
this with with with the governors and Trump in these
(10:31):
legal battles and these these publicity public relations battles is
what the public thinks of all this. And there's a
new Harvard Caps Harris Pohl, and it's conducted by Bill
Clinton's former polster, Mark Penn, And he asked two simple
questions and about about illegal immigration, and the first was
(10:59):
do you support or oppose deporting immigrants who are here
illegally and have committed crimes. Seventy eight percent of the
public supports deporting immigrants who are here illegally and have
committed crimes. You hear about eighty twenty issues, this is
(11:20):
one of them. To think about that when you see
all these California politicians screaming bloody murder, eighty seven percent
of Republicans want them deported. Seventy seven percent of Independence
and sixty nine percent of Democrats want illegal alien criminals deported.
(11:42):
Now in Los Angeles and California, those people are protected
under Bass and Newsom's sanctuary city policies and sanctuary state policies.
They won't even give up criminals, which is what's fascinating
about this. Even most the voters in their party don't
(12:03):
want these people here in America. And remember independents are
more than a third of the country as well. Everyone
always talks like there's only two sides. There's three sides.
So eighty seven percent of Republicans, seventy seven percent of Democrats,
sixty nine sorry, seventy seven percent of Independence, and sixty
(12:24):
nine percent of Democrats say out of the country if
you're here illegally and you're a criminal. Now, the second question,
do you support or oppose to porting all immigrants who
are here illegally?
Speaker 1 (12:38):
All? All okay?
Speaker 2 (12:40):
So you you dream up your SOB story scenario, Well,
fifty six percent of the country in total still want
everybody kicked out. Fifty six percent, seventy six percent of Republicans,
fifty four percent of Independence, and six percent of Democrats.
(13:02):
Not a majority, but over a third. And that averages
out to fifty six percent say everybody out, and seventy
eight percent said, well, at least the criminals out. And
this is an issue that people vote on because Harvard
Capps Harris asked what are the most important issues facing
(13:25):
the country? The top two are high prices and jobs,
number three healthcare, fourth immigration. So it's a big issue.
It's something people care about and they vote on and
big majorities want everybody out, and super majority want at
least the criminals out out.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
And then you have, you know, the screaming.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Lunatics from these protest groups in the street, backed by
Carried Bass and backed by Gap Newsom, Gavin Newsom is
actively pushing a policy and he's got nationwide advertising this
thing that endangers ice agents when most of the country
(14:16):
supports ice agents, Most Democrats support ice agents. This is
a strange, weird little cult. And I you know, I've
always heard it's like, why do people believe what they
believe in even when clearly with your own eyes the
opposite is true. And people always say, well, they live
(14:37):
in a bubble. They only talk to people who believe
what they believe, They only watch news in quotes that
give them what they want to hear. And I'm always thinking,
come on, really, can you be that deep in a bubble?
And maybe it's because you know, I'm hyper aware of
(14:58):
the news because of the job. Right, I've got to
spend hours a day reading, spend time at night tracking things.
Debra's dinging my phone all the time. There's no way
for me to get away from what's going on. I'm
just teasing.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
It's fine, okay, I'm all yeah, I mean it is
what it is. I mean, would you rather me not
tell you breaking news?
Speaker 4 (15:21):
No?
Speaker 1 (15:21):
No, no, no? Would you rather me be quiet? Don't
answer that?
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Don't ask you know the old lawyer, Yeah, yeah, don't
ask a question lest you know what the answer is
going to be. Okay, No, it's it's very useful to me.
And so I mean, I I don't know how you're
Gabby Newsome. And this has been his signature issue over
the last couple of months, is to be the social
(15:50):
justice warrior for illegal alien criminals and the biggest anti
ice agent guy out there.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
It's like, put take your.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
Masks off so that all the activists conducts you and
start to terrorize your family. I mean the real world,
that's what happens. And he knows that. And it's like,
why do you make a bet with that violent fringe crowd.
Why would you do that when you're running for president?
That is people aren't gonna forget. People go, well, you know,
(16:20):
he wants to impress his base. It's like nobody in
this country who isn't part of that fringe is gonna
forget that.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Right at the outset, he went on.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Stephen Colbert pushing this no mask law and said it
was Trump's standing army and they pledged their loyalty to
Trump and it was all false. It was nasty and
it endangers their lives. Nobody at his own party is
(16:51):
gonna because you weren't going to see Democratic candidates in
this next presidential cycle. They're going to be campaigning on
a type board. They're going to be campaigning on at
least limited deportations. Newsom is carving out a position on
his own island, and nobody wants to be on that
island anymore. It is one of the most toxic issues.
(17:13):
It is a losing issue. If Biden had not opened
the border, he or Harris or somebody else would would
be would be president. But they gave away one of
the most incendiary issues. That's eighty twenty and that's one
of the very top reasons why they lost the election.
(17:34):
And they're going to keep losing. I hope they keep
pushing this and they keep losing, because it's not the
only bad policy they have. But oh my god, I mean,
if you actually look at again, this is Bill Clinton's
old polster here. Okay, he's been on TV trying to
tell the Democrats that maybe the auto take a nap
and calm down because they're all their national positions is
(17:57):
just ruinous. All right, and we come back, all right.
I really enjoy playing fights at Senate hearings because they
have these constantly. They never amount to anything useful, right,
it's just the witness and the senators all yelling at
each other and insulting each other. Today it was Pam Bondi,
(18:19):
the attorney general for Trump, and they were trying to
corner her on Jeffrey Epstein. You know, they want her
to admit that Trump was running around with teenage girls
in Epstein Island. That's really what they're going after. They'd
like her to produce pictures if possible, and she decided
to come back at them with their own personal scandals.
So we've got some pretty entertaining exchanges.
Speaker 4 (18:40):
Next, you're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI
A six forty.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
I'm going to take a break just for a second
because I wanted, I wanted, I wanted to talk about
the Pam Bondi hearings today. But I have seen this
story and I cannot believe it. Gavin Newsom vetoed arrays
for the California State firefighters. It would have increased their wages.
(19:15):
This is CalFire, so that they would be closer to
some of the local fire departments. Local fire departments pay
their firefighters eleven to twenty eleven to twenty nine percent more.
You know what the base pay for a state firefighter is.
This is in California, the land of wildfire. The base
(19:40):
pay is fifty four thousand dollars. A Los Angeles City
firefire fighter has to get to eighty five thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
This pay raise had almost unanimous support.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
From California legislator. Democrats and Republicans both agreed that the
firefighters deserve a big raise. Fifty four thousand dollars does not.
This sounds like a terrible, terrible salary for a firefighter,
for the guys who are out there for two months
out in the wilds.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
Well, it's one hundred and ten degrees. And he vetoted it.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
Why because he's short of money for the illegal aliens.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Oh, he ought to be Can you impeach a governor
in California? He ought to be.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
Impeached for this. This is outrageous. This is, you know,
marching the street stuff. He said that this raise would
put significant cost pressures on the state treasury. You're spending,
no exaggeration, thirty five billion dollars on illegal aliens. You're
(20:59):
spending twelve billion dollars on illegal alien healthcare you spend
twenty two billion dollars on all the other illegal alien
services because we have several million of them in the state.
It's like their own state within state here. He's gotta
be kidding significant cost pressures. It would circumvent the collective
(21:24):
bargaining process.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
That makes no sense.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
Tim Edwards is president of the Local twenty eighty one union.
He told SFGate dot com it's highly disappointing and frustrating
when he vetoes the bill the day before we put
six members on the memorial wall honoring fallen firefighters in
the state of California. Six more dead firefighters are being
(21:53):
honored today and new some celebrates by vetoing their rays.
I it would have cost no more than six hundred
million dollars in the first year, according to the State Assembly.
This is I keep repeating this. The top two things
(22:17):
you should get from a government is police protection and
fire protection, top two from a state government, from a
city government.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
And he won't pay six hundred million.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
This is a three hundred billion dollar state budget and
he doesn't have half a billion to make the state
firefighter salaries competitive. Vocal departments fifty four grand. Would you
take this job? For fifty four grand. You've seen it.
(22:56):
This is what makes me crazy is we have fire
seasons and we see how long it takes, how difficult,
how dangerous the conditions really in is they're literally standing
in hell. They're breathing in all the smoke and toxins.
They end up dying young.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
And this.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
Stupid little bastard Newsome. You know, he couldn't blow out
a match. He would never get his hair, must you
mentioned him fighting a fire. He couldn't lift a bucket
of water. So the real men go out there in
(23:39):
the wilds for weeks and months on end, and they
bring home fifty four grand.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
Wow, that's horrible. That is horrible. All the bad things
he's done, this is one of the worst. I can't
believe this exists, this story. I keep looking at it.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
It's like no this.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
A report from mc California Apartment of Human Resources found
that cal fire staff lagged behind twenty other local fire departments.
State firefighters are scheduled to work more hours than local
fire departments. They have to work one hundred and fifty
(24:20):
six days a year for state firefighters, one hundred and
twenty one for local fire departments. This this is wrong, outrageous, shocking.
You know what, when are the legislators in his own
party if they had sets of gonads and I don't
know what these people have, they should they should turn
on Newsome over this.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
This, this should be Can they override this?
Speaker 2 (24:43):
Because you can override governor's governor's veto with a two
thirds majority, but they're always afraid to. Well, they should
do it here. Wow, Newsom really is a jackass, isn't he.
I'd like to see him do this to the faces
(25:05):
of the firefighters, walk right up to them and say,
you're not worth a raise, You're only worth fifty four
thousand dollars.
Speaker 3 (25:17):
Well, when he runs for president, I'm sure lots of
people are going to be bringing this up.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
I've never seen a guy pick the wrong side of
so many issues what he wants to run for president.
I mean, there are certain people that always make the
wrong decision, and he's one of them. I don't know
what he's doing. It doesn't make any sense. I mean,
I was just gonna say I hope he keeps doing
(25:41):
it because he'd be a horrific president, right, So I'm
happy to see him do stupid things. But I don't
want the firefighters ought to get going to get a
pay raise.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
Absolutely, we don't want them walking off the job, like
the air traffic controllers.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Is anything managed properly anymore?
Speaker 2 (26:00):
Now? Why isn't the people that we absolutely need that's
in charge of keeping us alive? Why aren't they treated properly?
The police have been demonized for way, way too many years.
They're defunded here in LA. The fire department's defunded here
in La. Now cal fire is being given has been
denied a raise. Air traffic controllers are now calling in
(26:22):
sick and protest. They should have been carved out of
this government shutdown. You would have thought after the shutdown
twenty eighteen it was during Trump's administration, because Alex Stunt
told us that it was the chair traffic controllers who
ended the shutdown. Trump ordered the Republicans to cut a
(26:45):
deal back then because you know, the airports were closing down,
So why didn't Why didn't he fix this problem and
make sure they're exempt from having their salaries withhell during
a shutdown. I don't understand anybody here, and this is
(27:07):
the most important stuff. Keep the planes from crashing into
each other, falling.
Speaker 4 (27:10):
From the sky.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Paying guys to put out the fires, paying the police
so they catch the bad guys trying to kill us.
What then.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
I'm gonna go bash my head against the wall. Take
a deep breath. I know it's very upsetting. John. It's
only quarter to two.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
I know you have a long show left a couple hours.
Speaker 4 (27:34):
You're listening to John Cobelts on demand from KFI AM.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
Six forty Susan Shelley, and she, among other things, is
a calumnist for the Southern California News Group, and we're
going to talk about sent it Pill seventy nine because
there are many many people waiting to see if Governor
knews Some signs it, and if he does, then you're
(28:00):
going to see certain residential neighborhoods all over California. They
will be developers will be allowed to put up apartment
complexes and maybe up to seven stories high, depending on
where your neighborhood is centered around. If you live near
(28:20):
what they call transit hubs, which is a fancy word
for a bus stop or a train station, and if
you live within a half mile of those, then your
neighborhood can be affected, which is a lot of people
because just look at the main boulevards that run east
west through La right, La Sunset Boulevard, and Wiltshire and
(28:47):
Santa Monica, just as an example. And this goes for
all the towns Ventor Boulevard, and you know in La County,
Orange County, everything, Well, if there's just a random bus
stop there, you're in the zone. Which means when your
neighbor sells, the new buyer, the developer could put up
(29:07):
a four story or a seven story apartment complex, which is.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
Going to create.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
Unwanted density. It's going to create traffic problems, parking problems.
They're not even required to provide parking spaces. This is terrible.
This came out of the uh brain or bowel of
Scott Wiener and being redundant, his brain is his bowel. Yeah,
(29:36):
it's climate change garbage. And it's also corruption because obviously
developers want this. They can buy a single family lot
and then put up I don't know, twenty apartments, who
knows what the number is going to be, luxury apartments
(30:00):
to make a fortune selling each apartment, each condo, all
to buy one lot. And now you've got to stare
at that thing, and who knows who they're gonna rent
it out to So you work all your life, you
save your money, you buy a house pain and he
(30:23):
asked to meet the mortgage. And here comes Scott Wiener
and Gavin Newsom, whose pockets are full of developer money,
whose eyes are glazed over after their last climate change
worshiping session, and you are screwed. So Susan Shelley is
(30:43):
going to come on to talk about the consequences of
this if he signs it, and it's been sitting on
his desk for a few days. Count Bass is widely
against this, and so is a majority of the city
council because they're gonna have to deal with all the blowboat.
This could be a long running, angry, contentious issue in
(31:08):
this state. So that'll be up right after Deborah's news. Okay,
at two point thirty, we're gonna have Daniel Gusson because uh,
he and I are both still in shock that that.
Karen Bass's deputy mayor, Brian Williams. He was the deputy
mayor in charge of public safety like police and fire.
(31:30):
He's the one who called it a bomb threat, a
bomb threat to city Hall. He got He's not going
to jail for it.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
He got probation, which is which is Rude's claiming mental news.
I don't care mental illness.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
You'll get to call him bomb threats and then there's
there's no punishment. He gets to go home. He's already
been home. Talk about that, Daniel Gusta two thirty Deborah Mark. Wait,
hold on, Deborah's eating.
Speaker 3 (32:04):

him not to because I have I have no willpower
