Speaker 1 (00:00):
Can't. I am six forty you're listening to the John
Cobel podcast on the iHeartRadio app. We're going to give
you a rundown on the big story here should be
the biggest story in California.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
For the rest of the summer.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
We may be headed towards gas prices over ten bucks
a gallon. According to Carl Demio, the Republican Assemblymen, he
was in a closed door meeting with oil company executives
and he said, because of Gavin Newsom's policies, the oil
company executives say they there's no oil. There's very little
oil being pumped through the pipelines, and for engineering purposes,
you need a certain amount, and for obviously financial purposes,
(00:38):
you need to pump a certain amount, and they may
have to shut down the pipelines, and the whole industry
may be collapsing. And you're looking at gas rationing and
ten to twelve dollars a gallon on top of all
the taxes that are kicking in this summer.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Get to that. We're also going to get to this lunatic.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Whack job Zoron Mumdanni, who won the Democratic primary for
the New York Mayor's race, and I raise him because
we've got a lot of these guys already in government
in LA and in Sacramento. But first, John Manley with Manley,
Stuart and Finaldi is one of the managing partners. And
he's been on our show many times fighting to get
(01:16):
justice for kids and students who've been abused by priests
and coaches and teachers and just all the terrible things
that go on. And he was heavily involved in the
Larry Nasser case, that was the Olympic coach who was
sexually abusing some of the athletes. Now he's representing Lolo Jones,
(01:36):
a three time Olympian who she was suspended and denied
medical care for a serious back injury after getting into
a verbal fight with a US Olympic official. They just
treat some athletes very badly. And that whole circus is
coming to LA in just a few years. Let's get
John Manley on.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
John.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
How are you, hey, John? How you do it?
Speaker 2 (02:00):
I'm all right?
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Tell us so Lolo Jones is and what kind of
treatment she's getting from the US Olympic Committee.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
So Lolo Jones is one of the greatest runners in
the history of our country. She's a two thousand and
eight Olympian. It was another Olympics and she's now forty two.
She transitioned out of sprinting. She was also a world
champion MCAA champion into Bob's sledding, and she's the fastest
breakeman in the US on the bob sled team. And
(02:31):
she's of course preparing for the Olympics, the Winter Olympics
next year in Italy. On February twenty eighth, she was
working on an experimental sled with other team members and
during that run, she felt a searing pain on her
back and you know, this is embarrassing, but it's public.
(02:53):
She urinated on herself, which is an indication of a
serious neurological issue. Not there's this woman's not afraid of anything.
She's an incredible athlete and you know is a has
literally given everything to compete for her country. This is
what she does. And she presented herself at the medical
(03:16):
clinic at five o'clock where she'd had a miss she'd
scheduled a massage to try and work on it, and
the head of medical at the US Olympic Training Center
said leave, and she goes, I'm in agony. I'm I'm
I've urinated on myself. I need attention, and they basically
(03:36):
said get out of here. I said, well, you're a
terrible blank person. And for that they let her compete,
you know, in something else, so she could. But after
that she's been suspended. And Uh, the thing that's really
(03:59):
strange about this is that if if anybody being denied
medical care and emergency situations a violation of medical ethics,
it's a violation of New York law, it's a violation
of California law. And I've been trying to help her
get back because if she can't, she can't practice on
a bob sled. The only other Bob said track that's
(04:22):
available to her would be in Austria. So she's had
so to get treatment, she had to go to Louisiana,
where she's from. Why she's from Iowa. She went to
college and she's been training at LSU for free. But
she has no access to Bob's led. She she had
a herniated discs. She had to have a surgery cost
her thirty thousand dollars. She has no support from them,
(04:46):
the Olympic Committee.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Well, why are they so?
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Why why did they deny her medical care to begin with,
before she lashed out verbally.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
So that's that's the question. And basically with the USO
US Olympic Committee, and as President Sarah Hirschland puts out,
there is that oh, we're here for the athletes. Where
there's the athletes are treated like garbage by the medical staff.
They're not the customer. Honestly, prison medicine is better there.
The prisoners are treated with more respect than our than
(05:15):
our Olympic athletes.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
But I mean it's a medical treatment is so intertwined
with having successful athletes.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Why would they do that?
Speaker 3 (05:24):
Well, because it's for them, it's not about the athletes.
USOPC is a partner in LA twenty twenty eight and
they stand to make hundreds of millions, if not a
billion dollars. The way athletes are treated, unless you're at
the very pinnacle, uh you know, somebody like Simone Biles,
who I represented, they get treated differently. But if you're
(05:46):
if you don't have that kind of outside support, you
have to deal with these people, and they treat our
athletes in many instances like second class citizens. You know,
medical doctors and there are staff should be the medical
staff for these Olympia and should be treating them like
the valuable pieces of human gold that they are. And like,
for example, you only can get one massage a week.
(06:09):
I mean, these are the best athlete for the world
and the USOPC only gives them one massage a week.
And if you look at the USOPC board, one of
the board members is a guy named doctor Vivec Murtry,
who was Joe Biden certain general big, you know, big
on trans stuff, and you know all this other crap,
(06:30):
and you know, they're they're so busy. They finally pulled
their trans policy down the other day. They're so busy
doing other stuff other than focusing on what they should
be focused on, which is winning medals and taking care
of the athletes that compete. And to bring this full
circle with NASA, this is exactly what happened with Larry Nasser.
(06:52):
No one had a voice. You can't speak up for
your doctor. And while I'm certainly not accusing of the
person involved here of sexual abuse, you know it's we're
ten years down the line from the Nasar scandal and
nothing has changed. And frankly, what needs to happen is
Congress needs to clean house at the Olympic Committee, which
they have the authority to do. They need a clean
house at the medical and really change the medicine so
(07:15):
athletes can compete. And I would just ask your folks
to please call the uh uh. If it's okay, I'd
like to give their number action. But if it's uh,
please call the US OPC and demand that Lolo b
ire and state issue. She can compete for our country
and we can win a medal. It's seven nine six
three to two five five, five to one. And this
(07:37):
woman is a hero. And you know, simply because you
express disappointment and use a curse word there, you know
how many other athletes get you know, and they're they're
all over the place.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
At sporting events all day and night.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
And I know, no, you can't get medical treatment. You
got to go pay for your surgery on your own
when you were injured competing for the US. What the
hell is going going on?
Speaker 2 (08:00):
All right?
Speaker 1 (08:01):
I got I gotta do the news by just give
the number right again, seven seven nine six three two
five five one one.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
That's what you said, triple five to one, five five
five to.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
One, Okay, seven and seven nine six three two five
five five one.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Okay, thanks for that. The encouraging news about the gas
a real uplifting.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
I know, I know yours. Yours was actually the lightest
moment of the show so far. All right, John Man,
thank you for coming on.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Uh, Deborah Mark, we're gonna talk about the gas thing,
and then we're gonna talk about Zoron Mondani because.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
It can get worse.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from kf I
A M six forty.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
When we come.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
When we're on after Deborah's news, we're gonna delve into
who this zoron Mo Mandami guy is.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Am I getting that name right? Mom?
Speaker 1 (08:54):
Mandanni, Mom, Donnie M A M D A N I.
You probably heard his name fifteen times today and you
had no idea who the guy was. And he's gonna
be the next mayor of New York. And this guy
is practically communist, no kidding. We'll talk about coming up.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Would you rather have a Cuomo? Well, that's the thing.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Cuoma was such a bag of corrupt garbage.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
But yeah, I'd rather have Cuoma than this guy.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
But that is that is like some of the worst
choices I have ever seen in a political race. I mean, Jeff, so,
let me talk about this gast thing because it blew
up during our show unexpectedly. Carl Demo put this out
on social media on x and it said that he
(09:47):
just got out of a meeting with with the oil
industry officials. It was a closed door meeting for Republicans
here in California, and he said they told him that
they don't have enough oil to pump through through the
pipelines here in California because they're not allowed to drill
and pump oil and the pipelines may shut down for
engineering reasons. You have to have a certain amount of
(10:09):
oil to create pressure, and the oil just doesn't exist,
and they want to get the oil to the refineries
to convert into gas. And he said the whole oil
industry is in danger of collapsing here in California and
only in California. And he also said the gas prices
may go eight to ten dollars a gallon, no ten
(10:30):
to twelve dollars a gallon ten to twelve, and there
might be gas rationing shortages. It's already expected to go
to eight dollars. The La Times admitted today in a
news story that this new gas tax from the Air
Resources Board is going to push it up sixty five
seventy cents. There's a new attax getting into effect on
(10:51):
July first. I'm astonished. Nobody can afford this. How are
people were going to afford eight ten, twelve dollars a gallon.
We've got the highest poverty rate in the country, and
if you're in the working class, even the middle class,
(11:14):
you can't afford twelve dollars a gallon. And very little
media has been covering this. We've been covering it every
step of the way giving and I'm just guessing, I mean,
are are they so ideological in these newsrooms, the reporters
and the anchors and the producers and the writers and
the news directors sodiological that they aren't reporting on something
(11:38):
that is basic to every consumer, every family, every person
in the state. The price of gas. It is so
out of whack with the rest of the country. There's
people back East paying two seventy a gallon, the national
average is about three twenty. We're at four sixty. And
we really do have a sixty five cent carb increase coming.
(11:59):
We do have another gas tax increase coming on top
of that, and two refineries really are closing in the
next eighteen months, and that's really going to push the
price of gas up over eight bucks. And now you
have the oil pipeline possibly shutting down.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
You really are going to go ten to twelve.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
How this is going to be such a hard hardship
for so many people. I mean, you can't you know,
mathematics is unforgivable, and there's no way to avoid driving
a car. All the public transit systems are sparse and
they suck. What I read today that was that Metro
(12:39):
oil car crash. Where was it More Park? They had
a truck, there were eleven people, there were there were
like five cars to the train, eleven people in the
middle of the day. It's like, why are we running
a train with eleven.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
People in it? The hell is that?
Speaker 1 (12:55):
That's some incredibly stupid And then then I was reading about,
you know, all the commotion and cast going on in
Santa Monica and the locals in Santa Monica, and I've
talked to some of these people in person, say everything
went to hell when they set up mass trains at
the Expo line from downtown to Santa Monica. It brought
in all the criminals and the vagrants, and the mental
patients and the drug addicts. And that's why Santa Mona
(13:17):
is getting destroyed because you have an express train that
takes you into Santa Monica and at the end of
the night, you know, the last run, they dump all
the criminal vagrants into the city. This goes out every night.
So I don't know what we're doing here. I see
with the illegal alien crackdown, Metro is saying that ridership
(13:41):
is down fifteen percent. It's like, why are we spending
all this money on trains and buses for illegal aliens
and homeless people and criminals.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (13:52):
I forgot. That's the holy trinity that all the progressives worship.
Now in New York City, this new nut Zorn Mom Donnie.
He wants free bus rides for everybody. But that's only
the beginning of it. Which you hear his plans about
grocery stories, about defunding the police, about using social workers
(14:15):
instead of police. That's all ahead because we have a
lot of these people here dsa Democratic Socialists of America.
That's the party they belong to, and they're actually eating away,
eating into the traditional Democrats.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
You're listening to John Cobel's on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Follow us at John Cobelt Radio.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
At John Cobelt Radio, we're heading for thirty thousand followers
and we are on from one to four every day,
and if you missed any part of the show, get
to that podcast after four o'clock John Cobelts Show on
demand on the iHeart app because we had a lot
of the whole story from Carl Demyo about ten or
twelve dollars a gallon gas broke during the show, and
(14:56):
we had Carl on it's a real thing.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
It looks like the oil pipeline in.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
California may have to be shut down because there's so
little oil in it from an engineering standpoint, they can't
maintain it anymore. The oil companies have told Newsom, they
told the Democrats, they told the Republicans, they had all
these closed door meetings.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
There's an emergency coming.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Newsom is aware of it, but it's not being talked
about publicly and it's not being covered very much. But
Carl explained all that went on. He was on the
top of the two o'clock hour. All right, now you
know we've got incoming from all over the place. Now
we've got another round of socialists, really communists, who are
(15:40):
running and winning for office. We have several socialists on
the La City Council, the city Controller. A lot of
them have wormed their way into government. They belong to
a group called the Democratic Socialists of America. And what
they're talking about edges into communism. It actually does. And
I'll give you an example of this. Zoro Mom Donnie.
(16:01):
He shocked the world yesterday's thirty three years old. He
was born in Uganda, Indian origin, Muslim, and he beat
out Andrew Cuomo from mayor. Cuomo is trying to political
comeback now. Cuomo is a disgusting, sleazy, perverted, corrupt, murderous
bag of garbage. I mean, he killed many elderly people
(16:24):
in New York. He intentionally shipped people with COVID into
nursing homes, who then infected the elderly who were in
nursing homes but hadn't caught it yet. He's a disaster.
Don't forget Uh, I'm not perverted. I'm Italian.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Is that what he said? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (16:43):
I forgot that. Yeah, you've heard all the groping stories.
But he so he and that's why he could win.
You Ordinarily, a Cuomo like candidate should beat a communist easily.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
I'm mom. Donnie has.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Support from these young, woke people who have recently left
college in the last ten years or so, totally indoctrinated
with the woke progressive philosophy. He also has a lot
of support from wealthy white women, the dreaded wealthy woke
white woman, the four ws. Here's his positions. Number one.
(17:31):
He's defund the police, which was a huge disaster in
twenty twenty. Cities that defunded the police had record crime,
they had all that rioting. It hamstrung the police to
this day. A lot of cops retired, they quit, and
(17:51):
a lot of them decide. A lot of guys and
women decided, I'm not even going to apply for these jumps.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
Excuse me.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Defunded the police and send the money to social services.
He also wants to send social workers instead of cops,
which is going to lead to this social workers getting murdered.
That's what's going to happen mental health crises, homelessness, domestic disputes.
(18:24):
He thinks that social workers are better than cops. Unarmed
social workers will end up getting killed. That's what's going
to happen. Here's a really wacky one. City owned grocery stores.
The only time I've seen government owned grocery stores is
when we took a Cafe listener trip to Cuba. Guess what,
(18:44):
there was hardly anything on the shelf, and that were
long lines. He wants the city to run supermarkets, affording
a offering affordable, healthy food. Here's a problem. Jim Garrett
wrote this in the National Review with government run grocery stores.
First of all, if the food prices are high, it's
(19:08):
got nothing to do with the people who own the
grocery stores. In twenty twenty three, profit margins were one
point six percent one and a half percent. NPR analyzed
grocery companies a few years back, the margins had either
(19:28):
declined or grown less than one percent. Grocery stores do
not make large profits. People think they do, and they
think that's why the food's so expensive.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
That is not true.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
The average person in a survey thinks grocers have a
profit margin of thirty percent. Thirty it's one and a
half percent. If you think that, you're wrong, you're extremely wrong.
All the factors that go into putting groceries on supermarket
shelves lead to the high price. It's not the grocers.
(20:02):
It's not the chains that own the grocery stores or
the local owners. All right, so the profit is not
thirty that was the average, guess one and a half.
Of course, in New York there's a lot of tax.
You go to New York City and buy something at
a grocery store, of the tax is almost nine percent.
There's a city sales tax, a state sales tax, a
(20:27):
metropolitan Commuter search charge, whatever the hell that is. And
they tax everything beer, bottled water, candy, chocolate, fruit drinks, fudge, gatorad, nuts,
ice cream, limona. He's also wants free public transit, subway
(20:47):
and buses free. And then this is the thing that
is really nutty. He wants rent freezes. Here's the problem
when you freeze rental prices is then there is no
(21:08):
reason for landlords building owners to do any improvements because
improvements are very costly. Basic maintenance is very costly, and
then they can't raise the rent to pay for the
maintenance and the repairs. There are two hundred thousand empty
apartments in New York City. They all need renovations. The
(21:30):
owners are not renovating them because they don't have the
money if they can't charge more rent once they're rebuilt.
That is basic economics. There are reasons why the rent
is so high in New York, and it is extremely high.
There's a massive housing shortage. But if you do rent freezes,
(21:52):
rent control, it makes it worse. That's just the way
economics works, because then there is no money to put
into renovations and so everything falls apart. That's why people
don't want to build new housing. They can't charge market rents.
There's no profit there. They're not going to build. All
(22:17):
this stuff is a classic disaster. There is one possible savior,
and that's the current mayor, Eric Adams, who's running as
an independent. He was involved in all kinds of scandals
and Trump bailed him out, which made him toxic to
a lot of Democrats. But now they're looking at the
communists running Mandami and they're thinking, maybe Allen's not so bad.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
You know, they kicked cuomo U.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
To the curb, and Eric Adams is the last chance here.
There's a lot of wealthy people, a lot of people
in the finance industry that says that's it. Communist wins,
We're get now, and they're going to take all their
millions of dollars of corporate profits, millions of dollars of
personal income, and they're going to Florida, they're going to
(23:05):
New Jersey, they're getting out. So this is gonna be
a wild year in New York City. We have all
those elements in play in LA. We got more coming up.
Speaker 4 (23:17):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI Am
six forty.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
John Cobelt here well for five more minutes, and if
you missed the show, you better go and listen to
it podcast post it after four o'clock on the iHeart
app John Cobolt Show on Demand. Special attention to the
two o'clock hour in Carl Demayo telling us about gasoline
possibly going to ten or twelve dollars a gallon because
the whole oil production system here in California is collapsing.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
Real thing.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
They're having meetings with Newsom, the oil industry, the Democrats,
the Republicans. There's a lot of bad stuff coming now.
You know this week about our bombing the Iranian uranium
and nuclear programs, and CNN and The New York Times
was throwing out false information that maybe it wasn't much
(24:14):
of a success. Well, here's the head of the United Nations,
the United Nations Nuclear watchdog, Rafael Grossi. He appeared on
French radio today and he said that the centrifuges that
are used to enrich the reanium uranium are no longer operational.
(24:41):
Enormous damage has been inflicted on Iran's nuclear program. And
when asked about how far back Iran's program had been set,
how far it had been set back, he said perhaps decades,
depending on the type of activity or objective, which is
what Trump has been saying. I mean they could always rebuild.
(25:06):
Of course they might try, but Grocy said it'll set
him back decades. And this is the International Atomic Energy Agency,
and Rafael Grossy is the head of that agency. Do
you know how much money the Iranians spent on this
(25:26):
nuclear program twenty years of time, five hundred billion dollars,
five hundred billion dollars, twenty years and now it's all
rubble and it's going to taken decades to come back.
Despite what the lions CNN and the lion New York
(25:48):
Times say, fourteen bombs, fourteen bombs, three sites. They took
a little snippet of a preliminary assessment that was wrong
is leaked by somebody in Congress or somebody on a
congressional staff. They blew it way out of proportion. Just
another big lie story from CNN and The New York Times.
(26:11):
Taken from the head of the United Nations nuclear watchdog,
the Iranian the nuclear project set back decades. Meantime, they
were explaining all this at a press conference which ran
at eight am Our time at eight am Eastern time
five am Our time, and the Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth
(26:32):
was besieged by reporters. They seemed to be upset that
he only mentioned Boy B two bombers piloting those planes.
Here's his response, Why.
Speaker 5 (26:44):
Not acknowledge the female pilots that also participated in this mission.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
The early messages that you sent out only congratulated the boys.
Speaker 6 (26:53):
So when I say something like our boys and bombers,
see this is the kind of thing the press does.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
Right.
Speaker 5 (26:57):
Of course, the chairman mentioned a female bomber pilot. It's fantastic.
She's fantastic, she's a hero. I want more female bomber pilots.
I hope the men and women.
Speaker 6 (27:05):
Of our country sign up to do such brave and
audacious things.
Speaker 5 (27:08):
But when you spin it as because.
Speaker 6 (27:09):
I say our boys and bombers is a common phrase,
I'll keep saying things like that, whether there are men
or women. Very proud of that female pilot, just like
I'm very proud of those male pilots, and I don't
care if it's a male or a female in that cockpit,
and the American people don't care.
Speaker 5 (27:24):
But it's the obsession with race.
Speaker 6 (27:26):
And gender in this department that's changed priorities where we
don't do that anymore.
Speaker 5 (27:31):
We don't play your little games.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
Very good, long overdue. I'm glad to hear that's the
official policy. 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 you're listening to the John
Cobel podcast on the iHeartRadio app. We're going to give
you a rundown on the big story here should be
the biggest story in California.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
For the rest of the summer.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
We may be headed towards gas prices over ten bucks
a gallon. According to Carl Demio, the Republican Assemblymen, he
was in a closed door meeting with oil company executives
and he said, because of Gavin Newsom's policies, the oil
company executives say they there's no oil. There's very little
oil being pumped through the pipelines, and for engineering purposes,
you need a certain amount, and for obviously financial purposes,
(00:38):
you need to pump a certain amount, and they may
have to shut down the pipelines, and the whole industry
may be collapsing. And you're looking at gas rationing and
ten to twelve dollars a gallon on top of all
the taxes that are kicking in this summer.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Get to that. We're also going to get to this lunatic.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Whack job Zoron Mumdanni, who won the Democratic primary for
the New York Mayor's race, and I raise him because
we've got a lot of these guys already in government
in LA and in Sacramento. But first, John Manley with Manley,
Stuart and Finaldi is one of the managing partners. And
he's been on our show many times fighting to get
(01:16):
justice for kids and students who've been abused by priests
and coaches and teachers and just all the terrible things
that go on. And he was heavily involved in the
Larry Nasser case, that was the Olympic coach who was
sexually abusing some of the athletes. Now he's representing Lolo Jones,
(01:36):
a three time Olympian who she was suspended and denied
medical care for a serious back injury after getting into
a verbal fight with a US Olympic official. They just
treat some athletes very badly. And that whole circus is
coming to LA in just a few years. Let's get
John Manley on.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
John.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
How are you, hey, John? How you do it?
Speaker 2 (02:00):
I'm all right?
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Tell us so Lolo Jones is and what kind of
treatment she's getting from the US Olympic Committee.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
So Lolo Jones is one of the greatest runners in
the history of our country. She's a two thousand and
eight Olympian. It was another Olympics and she's now forty two.
She transitioned out of sprinting. She was also a world
champion MCAA champion into Bob's sledding, and she's the fastest
breakeman in the US on the bob sled team. And
(02:31):
she's of course preparing for the Olympics, the Winter Olympics
next year in Italy. On February twenty eighth, she was
working on an experimental sled with other team members and
during that run, she felt a searing pain on her
back and you know, this is embarrassing, but it's public.
(02:53):
She urinated on herself, which is an indication of a
serious neurological issue. Not there's this woman's not afraid of anything.
She's an incredible athlete and you know is a has
literally given everything to compete for her country. This is
what she does. And she presented herself at the medical
(03:16):
clinic at five o'clock where she'd had a miss she'd
scheduled a massage to try and work on it, and
the head of medical at the US Olympic Training Center
said leave, and she goes, I'm in agony. I'm I'm
I've urinated on myself. I need attention, and they basically
(03:36):
said get out of here. I said, well, you're a
terrible blank person. And for that they let her compete,
you know, in something else, so she could. But after
that she's been suspended. And Uh, the thing that's really
(03:59):
strange about this is that if if anybody being denied
medical care and emergency situations a violation of medical ethics,
it's a violation of New York law, it's a violation
of California law. And I've been trying to help her
get back because if she can't, she can't practice on
a bob sled. The only other Bob said track that's
(04:22):
available to her would be in Austria. So she's had
so to get treatment, she had to go to Louisiana,
where she's from. Why she's from Iowa. She went to
college and she's been training at LSU for free. But
she has no access to Bob's led. She she had
a herniated discs. She had to have a surgery cost
her thirty thousand dollars. She has no support from them,
(04:46):
the Olympic Committee.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Well, why are they so?
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Why why did they deny her medical care to begin with,
before she lashed out verbally.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
So that's that's the question. And basically with the USO
US Olympic Committee, and as President Sarah Hirschland puts out,
there is that oh, we're here for the athletes. Where
there's the athletes are treated like garbage by the medical staff.
They're not the customer. Honestly, prison medicine is better there.
The prisoners are treated with more respect than our than
(05:15):
our Olympic athletes.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
But I mean it's a medical treatment is so intertwined
with having successful athletes.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Why would they do that?
Speaker 3 (05:24):
Well, because it's for them, it's not about the athletes.
USOPC is a partner in LA twenty twenty eight and
they stand to make hundreds of millions, if not a
billion dollars. The way athletes are treated, unless you're at
the very pinnacle, uh you know, somebody like Simone Biles,
who I represented, they get treated differently. But if you're
(05:46):
if you don't have that kind of outside support, you
have to deal with these people, and they treat our
athletes in many instances like second class citizens. You know,
medical doctors and there are staff should be the medical
staff for these Olympia and should be treating them like
the valuable pieces of human gold that they are. And like,
for example, you only can get one massage a week.
(06:09):
I mean, these are the best athlete for the world
and the USOPC only gives them one massage a week.
And if you look at the USOPC board, one of
the board members is a guy named doctor Vivec Murtry,
who was Joe Biden certain general big, you know, big
on trans stuff, and you know all this other crap,
(06:30):
and you know, they're they're so busy. They finally pulled
their trans policy down the other day. They're so busy
doing other stuff other than focusing on what they should
be focused on, which is winning medals and taking care
of the athletes that compete. And to bring this full
circle with NASA, this is exactly what happened with Larry Nasser.
(06:52):
No one had a voice. You can't speak up for
your doctor. And while I'm certainly not accusing of the
person involved here of sexual abuse, you know it's we're
ten years down the line from the Nasar scandal and
nothing has changed. And frankly, what needs to happen is
Congress needs to clean house at the Olympic Committee, which
they have the authority to do. They need a clean
house at the medical and really change the medicine so
(07:15):
athletes can compete. And I would just ask your folks
to please call the uh uh. If it's okay, I'd
like to give their number action. But if it's uh,
please call the US OPC and demand that Lolo b
ire and state issue. She can compete for our country
and we can win a medal. It's seven nine six
three to two five five, five to one. And this
(07:37):
woman is a hero. And you know, simply because you
express disappointment and use a curse word there, you know
how many other athletes get you know, and they're they're
all over the place.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
At sporting events all day and night.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
And I know, no, you can't get medical treatment. You
got to go pay for your surgery on your own
when you were injured competing for the US. What the
hell is going going on?
Speaker 2 (08:00):
All right?
Speaker 1 (08:01):
I got I gotta do the news by just give
the number right again, seven seven nine six three two
five five one one.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
That's what you said, triple five to one, five five
five to.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
One, Okay, seven and seven nine six three two five
five five one.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Okay, thanks for that. The encouraging news about the gas
a real uplifting.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
I know, I know yours. Yours was actually the lightest
moment of the show so far. All right, John Man,
thank you for coming on.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Uh, Deborah Mark, we're gonna talk about the gas thing,
and then we're gonna talk about Zoron Mondani because.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
It can get worse.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from kf I
A M six forty.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
When we come.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
When we're on after Deborah's news, we're gonna delve into
who this zoron Mo Mandami guy is.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Am I getting that name right? Mom?
Speaker 1 (08:54):
Mandanni, Mom, Donnie M A M D A N I.
You probably heard his name fifteen times today and you
had no idea who the guy was. And he's gonna
be the next mayor of New York. And this guy
is practically communist, no kidding. We'll talk about coming up.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Would you rather have a Cuomo? Well, that's the thing.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Cuoma was such a bag of corrupt garbage.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
But yeah, I'd rather have Cuoma than this guy.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
But that is that is like some of the worst
choices I have ever seen in a political race. I mean, Jeff, so,
let me talk about this gast thing because it blew
up during our show unexpectedly. Carl Demo put this out
on social media on x and it said that he
(09:47):
just got out of a meeting with with the oil
industry officials. It was a closed door meeting for Republicans
here in California, and he said they told him that
they don't have enough oil to pump through through the
pipelines here in California because they're not allowed to drill
and pump oil and the pipelines may shut down for
engineering reasons. You have to have a certain amount of
(10:09):
oil to create pressure, and the oil just doesn't exist,
and they want to get the oil to the refineries
to convert into gas. And he said the whole oil
industry is in danger of collapsing here in California and
only in California. And he also said the gas prices
may go eight to ten dollars a gallon, no ten
(10:30):
to twelve dollars a gallon ten to twelve, and there
might be gas rationing shortages. It's already expected to go
to eight dollars. The La Times admitted today in a
news story that this new gas tax from the Air
Resources Board is going to push it up sixty five
seventy cents. There's a new attax getting into effect on
(10:51):
July first. I'm astonished. Nobody can afford this. How are
people were going to afford eight ten, twelve dollars a gallon.
We've got the highest poverty rate in the country, and
if you're in the working class, even the middle class,
(11:14):
you can't afford twelve dollars a gallon. And very little
media has been covering this. We've been covering it every
step of the way giving and I'm just guessing, I mean,
are are they so ideological in these newsrooms, the reporters
and the anchors and the producers and the writers and
the news directors sodiological that they aren't reporting on something
(11:38):
that is basic to every consumer, every family, every person
in the state. The price of gas. It is so
out of whack with the rest of the country. There's
people back East paying two seventy a gallon, the national
average is about three twenty. We're at four sixty. And
we really do have a sixty five cent carb increase coming.
(11:59):
We do have another gas tax increase coming on top
of that, and two refineries really are closing in the
next eighteen months, and that's really going to push the
price of gas up over eight bucks. And now you
have the oil pipeline possibly shutting down.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
You really are going to go ten to twelve.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
How this is going to be such a hard hardship
for so many people. I mean, you can't you know,
mathematics is unforgivable, and there's no way to avoid driving
a car. All the public transit systems are sparse and
they suck. What I read today that was that Metro
(12:39):
oil car crash. Where was it More Park? They had
a truck, there were eleven people, there were there were
like five cars to the train, eleven people in the
middle of the day. It's like, why are we running
a train with eleven.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
People in it? The hell is that?
Speaker 1 (12:55):
That's some incredibly stupid And then then I was reading about,
you know, all the commotion and cast going on in
Santa Monica and the locals in Santa Monica, and I've
talked to some of these people in person, say everything
went to hell when they set up mass trains at
the Expo line from downtown to Santa Monica. It brought
in all the criminals and the vagrants, and the mental
patients and the drug addicts. And that's why Santa Mona
(13:17):
is getting destroyed because you have an express train that
takes you into Santa Monica and at the end of
the night, you know, the last run, they dump all
the criminal vagrants into the city. This goes out every night.
So I don't know what we're doing here. I see
with the illegal alien crackdown, Metro is saying that ridership
(13:41):
is down fifteen percent. It's like, why are we spending
all this money on trains and buses for illegal aliens
and homeless people and criminals.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (13:52):
I forgot. That's the holy trinity that all the progressives worship.
Now in New York City, this new nut Zorn Mom Donnie.
He wants free bus rides for everybody. But that's only
the beginning of it. Which you hear his plans about
grocery stories, about defunding the police, about using social workers
(14:15):
instead of police. That's all ahead because we have a
lot of these people here dsa Democratic Socialists of America.
That's the party they belong to, and they're actually eating away,
eating into the traditional Democrats.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
You're listening to John Cobel's on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Follow us at John Cobelt Radio.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
At John Cobelt Radio, we're heading for thirty thousand followers
and we are on from one to four every day,
and if you missed any part of the show, get
to that podcast after four o'clock John Cobelts Show on
demand on the iHeart app because we had a lot
of the whole story from Carl Demyo about ten or
twelve dollars a gallon gas broke during the show, and
(14:56):
we had Carl on it's a real thing.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
It looks like the oil pipeline in.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
California may have to be shut down because there's so
little oil in it from an engineering standpoint, they can't
maintain it anymore. The oil companies have told Newsom, they
told the Democrats, they told the Republicans, they had all
these closed door meetings.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
There's an emergency coming.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Newsom is aware of it, but it's not being talked
about publicly and it's not being covered very much. But
Carl explained all that went on. He was on the
top of the two o'clock hour. All right, now you
know we've got incoming from all over the place. Now
we've got another round of socialists, really communists, who are
(15:40):
running and winning for office. We have several socialists on
the La City Council, the city Controller. A lot of
them have wormed their way into government. They belong to
a group called the Democratic Socialists of America. And what
they're talking about edges into communism. It actually does. And
I'll give you an example of this. Zoro Mom Donnie.
(16:01):
He shocked the world yesterday's thirty three years old. He
was born in Uganda, Indian origin, Muslim, and he beat
out Andrew Cuomo from mayor. Cuomo is trying to political
comeback now. Cuomo is a disgusting, sleazy, perverted, corrupt, murderous
bag of garbage. I mean, he killed many elderly people
(16:24):
in New York. He intentionally shipped people with COVID into
nursing homes, who then infected the elderly who were in
nursing homes but hadn't caught it yet. He's a disaster.
Don't forget Uh, I'm not perverted. I'm Italian.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Is that what he said? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (16:43):
I forgot that. Yeah, you've heard all the groping stories.
But he so he and that's why he could win.
You Ordinarily, a Cuomo like candidate should beat a communist easily.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
I'm mom. Donnie has.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Support from these young, woke people who have recently left
college in the last ten years or so, totally indoctrinated
with the woke progressive philosophy. He also has a lot
of support from wealthy white women, the dreaded wealthy woke
white woman, the four ws. Here's his positions. Number one.
(17:31):
He's defund the police, which was a huge disaster in
twenty twenty. Cities that defunded the police had record crime,
they had all that rioting. It hamstrung the police to
this day. A lot of cops retired, they quit, and
(17:51):
a lot of them decide. A lot of guys and
women decided, I'm not even going to apply for these jumps.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
Excuse me.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Defunded the police and send the money to social services.
He also wants to send social workers instead of cops,
which is going to lead to this social workers getting murdered.
That's what's going to happen mental health crises, homelessness, domestic disputes.
(18:24):
He thinks that social workers are better than cops. Unarmed
social workers will end up getting killed. That's what's going
to happen. Here's a really wacky one. City owned grocery stores.
The only time I've seen government owned grocery stores is
when we took a Cafe listener trip to Cuba. Guess what,
(18:44):
there was hardly anything on the shelf, and that were
long lines. He wants the city to run supermarkets, affording
a offering affordable, healthy food. Here's a problem. Jim Garrett
wrote this in the National Review with government run grocery stores.
First of all, if the food prices are high, it's
(19:08):
got nothing to do with the people who own the
grocery stores. In twenty twenty three, profit margins were one
point six percent one and a half percent. NPR analyzed
grocery companies a few years back, the margins had either
(19:28):
declined or grown less than one percent. Grocery stores do
not make large profits. People think they do, and they
think that's why the food's so expensive.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
That is not true.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
The average person in a survey thinks grocers have a
profit margin of thirty percent. Thirty it's one and a
half percent. If you think that, you're wrong, you're extremely wrong.
All the factors that go into putting groceries on supermarket
shelves lead to the high price. It's not the grocers.
(20:02):
It's not the chains that own the grocery stores or
the local owners. All right, so the profit is not
thirty that was the average, guess one and a half.
Of course, in New York there's a lot of tax.
You go to New York City and buy something at
a grocery store, of the tax is almost nine percent.
There's a city sales tax, a state sales tax, a
(20:27):
metropolitan Commuter search charge, whatever the hell that is. And
they tax everything beer, bottled water, candy, chocolate, fruit drinks, fudge, gatorad, nuts,
ice cream, limona. He's also wants free public transit, subway
(20:47):
and buses free. And then this is the thing that
is really nutty. He wants rent freezes. Here's the problem
when you freeze rental prices is then there is no
(21:08):
reason for landlords building owners to do any improvements because
improvements are very costly. Basic maintenance is very costly, and
then they can't raise the rent to pay for the
maintenance and the repairs. There are two hundred thousand empty
apartments in New York City. They all need renovations. The
(21:30):
owners are not renovating them because they don't have the
money if they can't charge more rent once they're rebuilt.
That is basic economics. There are reasons why the rent
is so high in New York, and it is extremely high.
There's a massive housing shortage. But if you do rent freezes,
(21:52):
rent control, it makes it worse. That's just the way
economics works, because then there is no money to put
into renovations and so everything falls apart. That's why people
don't want to build new housing. They can't charge market rents.
There's no profit there. They're not going to build. All
(22:17):
this stuff is a classic disaster. There is one possible savior,
and that's the current mayor, Eric Adams, who's running as
an independent. He was involved in all kinds of scandals
and Trump bailed him out, which made him toxic to
a lot of Democrats. But now they're looking at the
communists running Mandami and they're thinking, maybe Allen's not so bad.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
You know, they kicked cuomo U.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
To the curb, and Eric Adams is the last chance here.
There's a lot of wealthy people, a lot of people
in the finance industry that says that's it. Communist wins,
We're get now, and they're going to take all their
millions of dollars of corporate profits, millions of dollars of
personal income, and they're going to Florida, they're going to
(23:05):
New Jersey, they're getting out. So this is gonna be
a wild year in New York City. We have all
those elements in play in LA. We got more coming up.
Speaker 4 (23:17):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI Am
six forty.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
John Cobelt here well for five more minutes, and if
you missed the show, you better go and listen to
it podcast post it after four o'clock on the iHeart
app John Cobolt Show on Demand. Special attention to the
two o'clock hour in Carl Demayo telling us about gasoline
possibly going to ten or twelve dollars a gallon because
the whole oil production system here in California is collapsing.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
Real thing.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
They're having meetings with Newsom, the oil industry, the Democrats,
the Republicans. There's a lot of bad stuff coming now.
You know this week about our bombing the Iranian uranium
and nuclear programs, and CNN and The New York Times
was throwing out false information that maybe it wasn't much
(24:14):
of a success. Well, here's the head of the United Nations,
the United Nations Nuclear watchdog, Rafael Grossi. He appeared on
French radio today and he said that the centrifuges that
are used to enrich the reanium uranium are no longer operational.
(24:41):
Enormous damage has been inflicted on Iran's nuclear program. And
when asked about how far back Iran's program had been set,
how far it had been set back, he said perhaps decades,
depending on the type of activity or objective, which is
what Trump has been saying. I mean they could always rebuild.
(25:06):
Of course they might try, but Grocy said it'll set
him back decades. And this is the International Atomic Energy Agency,
and Rafael Grossy is the head of that agency. Do
you know how much money the Iranians spent on this
(25:26):
nuclear program twenty years of time, five hundred billion dollars,
five hundred billion dollars, twenty years and now it's all
rubble and it's going to taken decades to come back.
Despite what the lions CNN and the lion New York
(25:48):
Times say, fourteen bombs, fourteen bombs, three sites. They took
a little snippet of a preliminary assessment that was wrong
is leaked by somebody in Congress or somebody on a
congressional staff. They blew it way out of proportion. Just
another big lie story from CNN and The New York Times.
(26:11):
Taken from the head of the United Nations nuclear watchdog,
the Iranian the nuclear project set back decades. Meantime, they
were explaining all this at a press conference which ran
at eight am Our time at eight am Eastern time
five am Our time, and the Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth
(26:32):
was besieged by reporters. They seemed to be upset that
he only mentioned Boy B two bombers piloting those planes.
Here's his response, Why.
Speaker 5 (26:44):
Not acknowledge the female pilots that also participated in this mission.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
The early messages that you sent out only congratulated the boys.
Speaker 6 (26:53):
So when I say something like our boys and bombers,
see this is the kind of thing the press does.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
Right.
Speaker 5 (26:57):
Of course, the chairman mentioned a female bomber pilot. It's fantastic.
She's fantastic, she's a hero. I want more female bomber pilots.
I hope the men and women.
Speaker 6 (27:05):
Of our country sign up to do such brave and
audacious things.
Speaker 5 (27:08):
But when you spin it as because.
Speaker 6 (27:09):
I say our boys and bombers is a common phrase,
I'll keep saying things like that, whether there are men
or women. Very proud of that female pilot, just like
I'm very proud of those male pilots, and I don't
care if it's a male or a female in that cockpit,
and the American people don't care.
Speaker 5 (27:24):
But it's the obsession with race.
Speaker 6 (27:26):
And gender in this department that's changed priorities where we
don't do that anymore.
Speaker 5 (27:31):
We don't play your little games.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
Very good, long overdue. I'm glad to hear that's the
official policy. 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
