Speaker 1 (00:00):
Can't. I am six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
You're listening to the John Cobelt Podcast on the iHeartRadio
app after four o'clock John Cobelt Show on demand on
the iHeart App.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
Yeah, I was thinking.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Yesterday the city and county announced new homeless numbers, and
supposedly the number of homeless is down about three and
a half percent in the city four percent in the county,
which is very little.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
It's still well.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Over seventy thousand homeless people out there, so it's and
it's way higher than it was six years ago, which
was way higher than six years before that. So there's
no success there. If you see any media or public
officials celebrating success, they're full of crap.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
They're lying.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
But I did think that perhaps the three percent that
matches almost exactly the number of homeless people who die
every year in La County. So I guess that's why
there are fewer homeless people, because Karen Bass and the
county border supervisors let that three to four percent die.
That's what happens. We're about three thousand fewer homeless people
(01:10):
in the county and about three thousand die every year.
Now there you go.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
It's a good way to get rid of the problem.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Just wait until they tip over from a fentonel overdose,
and then hold the press conference and say, look, how
we're reducing homelessness. We're allowing them to inject themselves to death. Yeah,
all right, take a bot for that. And there's so
many homeless in Santa Monica. There's so many awful things
going on. John Alley is sometimes it seems like he's
(01:42):
the only guy who's fighting it. He's a businessman with
the Santa Monica Coalition, and he's gotten a lot of
coverage recently because he's going around offering homeless people one
way tickets out of town so they can get back
with their families and friends. He's got donors who are
offering the money. Let's get John Alley on.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
John, how are you hi, John Great.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
I give us the parameters of this program.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Well, do I believe homelessness has been reduced by three percent?
Nobody in our coalition does. Nope. We believe unreported homelessness,
more people living in carports, garages, underpasses, has increased. We're
now LA County is twelve percent of the total US
homeless population. That's seventy five thousand homeless individuals. So our
(02:29):
goal is to be more efficient and our group, the coalition,
sat down and we talked about it. We talked about
using better technology, faster response, being more efficient. So we
tried something different. We wanted to check it out. We
checked out what the city was doing, we checked out
(02:50):
what the county was doing. We saw that there was
no response, no one getting back to us. Opened a
line that you wait on for four or five five
minutes with a lots of different responses. You can click
on the key and we partnered with a tremendous AI firm,
(03:10):
Fast Response AI, and with their technology, we can intake
five hundred people per month, and that's much higher than
the cities of La or Santa Monica or the County
of La are even able to consider handling. We don't
(03:31):
need the staffing and it's efficient, it's it's working, and
we just feel that there's no need for multi year contracts,
automatic grants for these nonprofits. Who has those anymore? A
billion dollars.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
The criminals do.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
They keep that in place because it's easier to steal
the money.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
A billion was budgeted last year on homelessness, and it
led to a reduction of just about three percent or
sixteen hundred people, but three percent, as you were saying,
that's less than the margin of error for most election
and polls. So if you take one billion and you
divide it by stay sixteen hundred homeless, that's six hundred
(04:16):
thousand per person. We can do better for family reunification.
It's costing us. The Santa Monica Coalition really gracious donors
stepping up all over the city, all over the county,
all over the state, and we're handling the situation with
a five hundred dollars gray m bus ticket or airfare
(04:39):
per person, and they're getting real care on their own
volition from people that really need and want acceptance from
their families, and we're verifying that they want to go.
I've gone out on a couple and to test it myself,
and it's it's just been heartbreaking to see the number
(05:02):
of people that don't want to be here. The homeless,
don't feel safe here.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
The homeless are begging to get out, and so they're
taking your money.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
To go home.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
And it's working. We've got people going to Chicago, people
going to Philadelphia. Yesterday we were out by the former
Sears building which is now the temporary Palle High Campus
in Santa Monica, and we handed out I was on
(05:39):
a tour actually with someone from Corona who saw their
brother in one of the telecasts on KTLA, and they
called us and said, John, we saw a picture of
someone in the background while you're on the air. We
want to meet you. So I went out and met them.
(06:01):
We walked around and we ran across four or five
people in the grass areas next to Pelley High. The
temporary campus handed out a few of the flyers that
give our number and the messages when and if you're
ever ready to go back home, called this number. There
(06:22):
was a guy asleep and he got up and said,
I'm interested. I want to go home. My dad's part
of a gang, and I have dual Mexican and US citizenship.
It's safer back home. I want to go home. And
we're finding that all over. We received a call last
(06:47):
week from a woman and a shelter, a local shelter
who is being harassed and accosted and didn't feel safe.
She said, if I stay in here, I'm not safe.
If I go out on the sidewalk, I'll be assaulted.
She said, I only have mace. They have knives. So
this is and by the way, where we took the
(07:09):
woman whose brother is missing to the police department. The
police Santa Monica police work tremendous. They found him on
social services, had not committed a crime, so he's wandering
around here somewhere, and they are welcome to accept him
back at any time. And we're finding that ninety percent
(07:31):
of the people that we see that don't have needles
with them, that we don't see knives hanging out of
their bags. They're interested in this program, and we can
handle the program with very few staff, with this great
fast response AI firm. And we don't understand why the
(07:52):
city and the county city of Santa Monica, in the
city of la and the nonprofits that are supposed to
be doing this work, this isn't our bill because.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Because this would put them out of business.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
That's why, right then all those people making the six
figure salaries would have to find real work. I'm convinced
that the whole thing is such a massive corrupt operation
that is paying so many people so much money. Nobody
wants those nonprofits to fold up. And they're all politically
(08:22):
connected or related or staffed by people in these governments.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
They may not like our message, our banners or signs,
but our hearts are in the right place. We don't
care if the city leaders like us. We just want
them to utilize better technology and a better message to
get people off the streets. It's not a hard thing
to do. Why do we have to wait five years?
Speaker 1 (08:45):
How many people do you help?
Speaker 3 (08:47):
So?
Speaker 1 (08:47):
How many people have you helped so far?
Speaker 3 (08:48):
Again, in just two weeks, we've helped nine people now, yeah,
and we've got a few that are in the works
that we're helping, and we're filming each one. One of
the things that are necessary is that when they get home.
(09:08):
First of all, we have to talk to the person
on the other end, the receiving end, who will accept
them at their arrival. And number two, we film them
as they're leaving and they're thanking us, they're crying, they're
hugging us. And these are people on the streets four
five months, six months, And when they get home, we
(09:29):
want evidence that they've gotten home. And some have phones
that are issued in LA some have Obama phones that
are good from state to state, and those people are
calling and they're letting us know they're home. But what
you said earlier is correct. If you look at the
(09:49):
people writing a lot of these nonprofits and this kind
of program that's supposed to be doing what we're doing,
and you can't get anybody on the phone for two
or three if at all are interconnected. Yeah, I mean
we still go back to Bill i Allusion's report on
Sheila Kule's partner accepting a large contract for a needless.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Hotline numbers none for good. Yeah, I gotta, I gotta
do the news.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Thank you John Ally for coming on, Thanks for having
me and let us know how this is going. In
the future, we'll talk more about this because I know
what's going on. John Alley knows what's going on. You
should know that this is really the truth.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
We just had John Alley on. He's the businessman in
Santa Monica. Santa Monica Coalition is his group, and he's
got donors who are willing to pay five hundred dollars
for playing fair or bus fair so that homeless people
in Santa Monica can go home and be reunited with
friends and family. So far, they've helped nine people do that.
This is what can be done. I don't know what
(11:02):
the percentage is, but I bet you, I bet you,
we could do better than what's going on now. Because,
as he said, if you divide the amount of money
we're spending every year, this is over a billion dollars
on homelessness, and and you divide that by the number
(11:24):
of homeless, it that they're getting way way more money
than the five hundred bucks that were that John is
spending to buy a plane or a bus ticket. I
think if you offer them bribes and you help them
make connections with friends and family back home, a lot
of these people would take it. But what would happen?
(11:46):
I don't know why. The question I've had it's like,
why do people believe in government?
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Why do they believe it? Now?
Speaker 2 (11:56):
I understand why the people in government do because they
like having control role, and they like stealing the money,
and they are stealing the homeless money. I wonder when
people will accept that's what's going on. I mean, the
LA County Board of Supervisors kind of admits it in
(12:17):
a way because they're disbanding LASA, they're taking over the program.
What are they saying that all our tax money that
went to LASA didn't do any good. Well, if it
didn't do any good, why would that be? It's because
these were fake programs, fake programs that don't work, and
they weren't meant to work. I don't know why people
believe in these programs in these organizations, these agencies.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Why why do you? Why do you trust it?
Speaker 5 (12:44):
Well?
Speaker 6 (12:44):
If they don't work, are we going to get our
money back? And what's going to happen with Measure A?
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Uh, Measure A.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
We're still going to be given away a half cent
every time we buy a dollar's worth of goods in
La County. It's gonna it's it is good.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
That tax is.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Forever unless we rescind it.
Speaker 7 (13:02):
Why don't we do that?
Speaker 1 (13:04):
I would do that, so would.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
I if I was the dictator. Okay, well and you
were the assistant dictator, that's what we would do.
Speaker 6 (13:10):
Well, let's let's let's get a move on on that.
I mean, why are we spending more tax money on
a program that we know clearly doesn't work?
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Because people, but you and I know what that clearly
doesn't work. But explain the vote in November majority.
Speaker 7 (13:27):
They didn't know.
Speaker 6 (13:28):
I think, though, to be fair, a lot of people
that voted yes on Measure A did not know right
the the news didn't come out about all the programs,
all the less programs, right, all the all the negative
talk about them until after.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
They now if if all the TV stations and the
LA Times, while news agencies consistently reported all the time
that the money is being stolen because it is, eventually
that would filter down into people's brains and they'd accept it,
why is it that most of the journal in town
don't want to investigate and document what they know is true.
(14:06):
It's being stolen. The nonprofits are fake, the phony, the
programs are worthless. Obviously, nothing's gotten better, everything's gotten worse.
This has been going on for well over ten years now.
So when something doesn't change, when it's clear to your eyes,
to everybody's eyes, that this is a big rackety, let's.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Take Channel seven.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Why doesn't the Channel seven and the Channel five news
department send some reporters in.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
And blow the lid off this thing?
Speaker 6 (14:40):
Because people, when you talk about the homeless situation, and
I've told you this on and off the air, so
many people that I've talked to, they all say, how
can you vote no on something that's gonna help the homeless.
Speaker 7 (14:52):
I think not your listeners.
Speaker 6 (14:54):
But so many people do not understand that the money
is not going to the homeless.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
Would they see things aren't getting better? The best thing
you could say is the problems are completely yesterday.
Speaker 6 (15:07):
We have the homeless count, right, we're saying that that
the homeless what is.
Speaker 7 (15:10):
It four percent?
Speaker 6 (15:11):
There's a four percent decline, So people think, aha, that's
a look at this, John, there's fewer.
Speaker 7 (15:17):
Homeless people on the streets.
Speaker 6 (15:19):
So therefore all the programs that we voted for are helping, so.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
That there's ninety six percent less.
Speaker 7 (15:26):
Because it's less, right, there's few that's.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
All still, Yeah, there's billions of dollars. You get a
reduction of four percent. Probably it's those who died.
Speaker 7 (15:36):
It's all spin, you know that.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
But what makes people have faith? I mean, you and
I can reason this out in a matter of seconds.
Why can't regular people see that there's a lot of
thieves and goons and government who steal are stealing money.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
Why don't they want to accept that?
Speaker 6 (15:54):
I just think when it comes to the homeless situation,
I just I do I think people really and again
I feel bad.
Speaker 7 (16:01):
For people that are homeless. It's not something I like
to see.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
The reason not to trust the government because everything's gotten
worse under these government programs.
Speaker 6 (16:11):
But again, the spin when you have the mayor Bass
and you have people saying that there's four percent fewer
people on the streets and that there's now this is
a trend, right, what was her name, the homeless, the
loss of person.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
The person as Lisa Alicia Adams Callum right, who's on
her way out and gave her husband's organization.
Speaker 7 (16:31):
She said, this is a trend. It's a trend now
that there are fewer people living.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
They don't know, they don't know political people why it's
it's fascinating.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
You're listening to John Cobel's on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Or on every day from one until four o'clock and
then after four o'clock John cobelt Show on demand on
the iHeart app, and you could listen to what you missed.
You go to the podcast and listen at one thirty
at one o'clock hour. Because we went through the history
a short history of Karen Bass's involvement with this radical
left wing communist group back in the nineteen seventies. She
(17:10):
made eight trips to Cuba. She was absolutely mismesmerized by
Fidel Castro, and then she made at least eight more
trips as an adult, so she's been to Cuba sixteen times.
So if you look around and you think Los Angeles
is a stinkhole, well, Cuba was her inspiration and Castro
was her political idol.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
True story.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
You can look it up online and listen to the
summary I gave Coming up Well on the podcast the
one thirty to two o'clock segment Excuse me now, on
another podcast by Sean Ryan, who's a conservative podcaster, former
military guy, former CIA worker. He had Gavin Newsom on,
(17:55):
and did you write to me Eric that this was
a four hour podcast?
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Yeah? Do youavin't Newsom spoke with for four hours? Yeah?
It was like four hours in like twelve minutes.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
Can you imagine with all the work that needs to
be done in the Palisades, with there's still seventy two
thousand homeless people in the streets here, he's got four
hours to try to make inroads in his presidential run.
And this is what Sean Ryan asked him about if
(18:29):
he's going to run for president, Listen to this dance.
Speaker 5 (18:32):
It seems like you're gearing up for maybe a presidential run.
I mean, you were just in South Carolina, went to
a couple different places there to speak. I mean, are
you gearing up for a twenty twenty eight run? No,
I'm gearing up for twenty sixteen, because from my humble perspective,
I think it's existential if my party's not successful next year.
(18:53):
And that's why I was out there on the stump
nine different events.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
Just make a second. Did he say he's gearing up
for twenty sixteen. Yeah, that's exactly what he said. Now
what does that mean? He gets into it?
Speaker 3 (19:07):
All? Right?
Speaker 5 (19:07):
Continue, And that's why I was out there on the
stump nine different events, just making the case. Don't look
for the guy guy on the white horse to come
save the day in twenty twenty eight. I think it's
the Democrat parties. I'm blown away the Democrats obsession with
just that sort of perfect person that's going to say
you have sort of this John Wayne thing, this romantic
(19:29):
version of that person's going to save the day. Meanwhile,
we're not doing the hard work in between. Twenty twenty
eight is for damn you. I mean, this guy just
got elected in obviously a little over six months, or
about six goddamn months, by the hell, we talked about
twenty twenty eight, and so we.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Got to grind.
Speaker 5 (19:45):
We got it at how you know these house seats?
That's it, man, it's to me. I need a speaker, Jeffries.
People out there love this speaker. Johnson, guy, I don't.
He wants, of course, to tar and feather me. It's
a spiritual term, I imagine and see that. Maybe it's
what is this the Old Testament?
Speaker 3 (20:03):
Not that.
Speaker 5 (20:06):
We're just we have different, different points of view and
world vision.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
So you're not gonna run.
Speaker 5 (20:11):
I'm not well, I'm avoid I'm gonna run if he
tries to tire feather me. But as it relates to
the presidency, who the hell knows. That's that's fate, that's you.
Do you meet a moment? Are you wasting anyone's time?
Speaker 1 (20:24):
Do you have a why?
Speaker 5 (20:25):
That compelling why I have? I would have to sit
in front of you and feel totally can congruent.
Speaker 7 (20:32):
Just like I'm a little confused. I don't understand.
Speaker 6 (20:37):
I'm not trying to be rude or disrespectful.
Speaker 7 (20:40):
I don't understand the meat a.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
Moment apparently you're not swooning.
Speaker 7 (20:45):
I'm not. No, I don't swoon over any policy.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Are you blacking out? No?
Speaker 7 (20:50):
Not, I would never do that over.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
We're going to need to replay on this. This is
gonna take a lot longer than I thought.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
We need a replay on this last line here started
with like a couple of lines before incongruent or whatever
the hell he said?
Speaker 5 (21:05):
Do you meet a moment?
Speaker 1 (21:06):
Do you mean a moment?
Speaker 5 (21:08):
Are you wasting anyone's time?
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Do you have a why?
Speaker 5 (21:11):
A compelling why? I mean I would have to sit
in front of you and feel totally congruent that I'm
just like, this is the why? Why are you running?
And just say this is you know? And have that
burning conviction. I'll tell you, the more Trump keeps knowing
what he does, the more compelled I am to think
(21:31):
about it. I've never felt more outrage.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
More anger.
Speaker 5 (21:38):
Towards towards actions and often this individual. Then I make
it it.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
You don't feel any ancher.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
You just want to be president because you're going to
be out of work in a year and a half.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
Could you imagine listening to four hours of that four hours?
Speaker 8 (21:55):
How much did you listen to like ten minutes. I
did not listen all four hours. I was finding cuts
on Twitter and then finding finding the context in the
original video.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
I was hoping, you've gone through enough. Nobody has to
do four hours of Kevin Newsom.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
Well.
Speaker 8 (22:09):
I was planning on going through all of it, and
then I saw it was four hours, and I was like,
I'll find the clips.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
There's nobody who's that interesting for four hours?
Speaker 1 (22:20):
Oh yeah, yay.
Speaker 6 (22:21):
But he met the moment because he said the more
you know, he doesn't like what Trump does or I'm parapree.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
I know, but Trumps.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
He's not running against Trump in four years.
Speaker 7 (22:30):
I know, but he's but this is the moment, apparently,
and he.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
Needs to be congruent and he needs a why.
Speaker 7 (22:37):
Well, the why is he wants to the United States? Why?
Why does anybody run for press?
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Like a Wheel of Fortune contestant, I need a why?
I need a why. You can buy a walk No,
you can't buy a why?
Speaker 1 (22:49):
Right?
Speaker 5 (22:50):
Why?
Speaker 1 (22:50):
It's not a vowel? All right? That was head spinning.
I'm naucious. Let's play a cut.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
Number two. Newsomb really gets cool here. He starts cursing.
Speaker 5 (23:00):
Those are our guys that were out there, you know,
out there at every single intersection during the fires. These
guys were exhausted, and now they're being told to mask up.
I mean they were, there was no masks. I told you.
They're getting selfies out there where they're beloved in Santa Monica. Now, man,
all that reputational damage it's being done as they're sitting
there on horses with American flags, running through soccer fields,
(23:22):
scaring kids that are playing soccer in the middle of
the day in a summer camp. For what just toughness.
It's weakness masquerading his strength.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
That's what I don't like.
Speaker 5 (23:31):
About the son of them. I don't And forgive me.
I know he's the President of the States. Forgive me.
I didn't you know, I forgive me. He calls me
new scum? You know, Come on, how to explain that
to my kid? Now he's got I have my kids
friends calling my kid's new scum. That I get because
I was called that in seventh grade, But not my
seventy nine year old model better God behavior, Man, forgive the.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
Donee Trump to model of behavior.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
Why these cars are left and right?
Speaker 2 (24:06):
You know sometimes the kids on the playground, they're right,
they're they're They're perceptive. They know when when one of
the kids is a loser, when one kid is a wiener,
you know that the wiener kids they were up to
be winner adults. That's why they're taunted on the playground.
That's mean.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
They had me. That is mean. That's true.
Speaker 7 (24:24):
That it's so.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
Mean that I think actually children's impressions of certain classmates,
you know, when they're like ten years old or dead on.
Speaker 7 (24:35):
You know, people used to.
Speaker 6 (24:36):
Make fun of me when I was when I was
a little debbie because I was so short.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
And were they wrong?
Speaker 7 (24:43):
No, But but they were so mean. I wasn't mean.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
I wasn't what did they call you that?
Speaker 6 (24:48):
It wasn't what they called me, It just they just God,
it was because I was short.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
Has that stopped?
Speaker 7 (24:55):
Well, I'm an adult now, so yes.
Speaker 6 (24:59):
But p can be mean, and I mean, the only
thing I can say that I do understand what he's
saying is I feel bad that his kids are being
called new scum because kids can be really really mean.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
You got it tough enough, you do, yeah, but.
Speaker 7 (25:15):
You know you have kids. If one of your kids
came home and.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
You know, and I never I would tell him that
story of the world.
Speaker 7 (25:23):
Is did you say you are scum?
Speaker 2 (25:25):
John? God knows what kids said about me to them.
I never asked.
Speaker 4 (25:33):
You're listening to John cobbelts on demand from KFI Am sixty.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Live Everywhere on the iHeartRadio ass radio app.
Speaker 7 (25:43):
Wait what what was that?
Speaker 2 (25:46):
Something wrong with me? At John Cobelt Radio? On social media?
Is how you follow us at John Cobelt Radio. Less
than seven hundred followers needed to hit thirty thousand the
iHeart Radio ass. I had no idea what that means.
I don't know what's on my mind. Probably shouldn't.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Why.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
Sean Ryan is a conservative podcast host a former military
guy CIA Guy. He interviewed Gavin Newsom for four hours.
I will not be listening to this for four hours.
I'm grateful that Eric took a few minutes to get
some of the highlights. Uh, he's done a lot of cursing,
you know, Newsom. It's such an affectation when he curses.
(26:36):
And I can only imagine he's doing it because his
The research shows everybody thinks he's a spoiled rich kid,
and and so he's trying to be a regular guy,
trying to be down to earth. So now he's he's
swearing all the time.
Speaker 7 (26:50):
Well maybe the women that swoon they find out sexy.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
Yeah, they want to be talked dirty too, like.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
All right, anyway, Ryan asks Newsome, is eight years old
too young for what they call gender affirming surgery? Gender
affirming surgery, that is one of those most absurd phrases.
That's when they chop the genitals off a little boy. Okay,
and they called gender affirming. Listen to Newsom's answer. This
(27:23):
is lengthy and it's hard to follow. So let's go
on the ride together.
Speaker 5 (27:28):
What about for your values? I mean, is eight years
old too young?
Speaker 3 (27:32):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (27:32):
I mean, look, I now that I have a nine
year old just became nine. Come on, man, I get it.
So those are the j's. It's interesting, just the issue
of age. I haven't as stop stop stop.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
Ryan brings up the idea, you know, an eight year
old chopping off their genitals is all early. And come on, oh, man,
I get it. I have a nine year old. I
wouldn't wanted generals chopped off. No, no, no, it's not
that it's gender affirming surgery. Use the proper woke terminology,
(28:13):
all right, play some more.
Speaker 5 (28:15):
Come on, man, I get it. So those are legit.
You know, it's interesting just the issue of age. I
haven't as I am there's someone that's been so focused
on equality broadly LGBT rights, particularly gay marriage. The trans
(28:37):
issue for me is also novels. It's over the last
few years, I'm trying to understand as much as anyone else,
whole pronoun thing. Trying to understand all of that. Well,
you know that was like help me all that stuff,
I get it. This all this stuff started to collapse
on us. I joked with Charlie about latin X. You know,
(28:57):
I remember walking into my staff used I started using
the word LATINX a few times, and then my chief
of staff, who happens to be Hispanic, goes, would you
shut up? I'm like, what, she goes, who uses that word?
Speaker 1 (29:08):
I said, I don't know.
Speaker 5 (29:09):
She said, staff said, do not ever use that word toget.
I'm like, what's going on. I was like, okay, literally
society literally style I'll never forget. I was like, whoa
we were to this is sort of zoom conversation, and
she got me. Literally My Hispanic team of staff's like
shut up, and so I'm like we were all kind
of like I never I mean those meetings were my
pronouns and everyone goes across. This all this was sort
(29:32):
of I think post George Floyd.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
Yah, we stopped a second.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
He actually they had meetings Newsom's office and everybody stand up.
Everybody stood up and went through their pronouns. This is
what was going on in Newsom's office, the staff's standing
up and going through all the pronoun variations, all the
combinations possible.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
By the way, he sounds stoned, He absolutely.
Speaker 7 (30:02):
Talking very fast. Is some of the words are slurred.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
So I mean, is this what gummies do?
Speaker 6 (30:10):
I mean, when I take a gummy, I usually go
to bed because I don't really talk.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
Some more.
Speaker 5 (30:18):
I never I mean those meetings where my pronouns and
everyone goes across this is all. This was sort of
I think, post George Floyd, post COVID, we kind of
came out and there was obviously this rights movement post
George Floyd, which you got to understand, I mean, on
the basis of what occurred and all the social unrest,
and there was a natural inclination then to try to
course correct. But it was across the spectrum of issues,
(30:41):
including increasingly on the issues.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
How we talk talking about politically.
Speaker 5 (30:46):
Correct and sensitive people started becoming use of language pronouns.
And then issues around the trans community and study and
this notion of gender affirming care for children. That's tough
man in science on that. You know, I'm trying. I
have men't dove that deep into it, but you know
I read one report.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
Wait wait, wait, wait, do you have to dive deep
into it? You're talking about cutting off the genitals of
an eight year old? What bore do you need to know?
What kind of science? What kind of research? Okay, you
got an eight year old boy. He suddenly decides maybe
I'm a girl. Daddy, Okay, we're going to take you
to the hospital. Okay, oh god, now you're a girl.
(31:26):
What the hell is wrong with him? What's wrong with everybody?
You know what they found out most of the people
who were confessed, most of the young kids who may
have wondered if they're really a boy or a girl
if you waited until they went through puberty, it turned
(31:46):
out most of them were gay. Some of them were
not gay, they were just being kids. Very very few
of them were actually trans. It was a complete hysterical oaks.
It was nonsense. Everything that made no sense back then
just maybe five years ago, it made no sense because
(32:07):
it was nonsense, it was idiocy, it was a hysteria.
It's like a social contagion. Keep playing this and in.
Speaker 5 (32:16):
The science on that, I you know, I'm trying, I
mean't go that deep into it, but you know, I
read one raport and then there's one that's slightly contradictory,
and then they said, there's no contradictory. Here's what the
UK just came out with. You're full of it's absolutely
scientifically sound that it's outrageous, you know, And so it's
it's intense. And then I meet with families, literally meet
(32:37):
with families. Saved my child, child's life, and.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
They're thriving, right, And he should be in charge of
those decisions because he is so intelligent and sharp and coherent.
What a babbling idiot that is presidential material. There got
more coming up. Exhausted today, Deborah Mark Live in the
(33:03):
KFI twenty four hour Newsroom. Hey, you've been listening to
the John Cobalt Show podcast. You can always hear the
show live on KFI Am six forty from 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 Cobelt Podcast on the iHeartRadio
app after four o'clock John Cobelt Show on demand on
the iHeart App.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
Yeah, I was thinking.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Yesterday the city and county announced new homeless numbers, and
supposedly the number of homeless is down about three and
a half percent in the city four percent in the county,
which is very little.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
It's still well.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Over seventy thousand homeless people out there, so it's and
it's way higher than it was six years ago, which
was way higher than six years before that. So there's
no success there. If you see any media or public
officials celebrating success, they're full of crap.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
They're lying.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
But I did think that perhaps the three percent that
matches almost exactly the number of homeless people who die
every year in La County. So I guess that's why
there are fewer homeless people, because Karen Bass and the
county border supervisors let that three to four percent die.
That's what happens. We're about three thousand fewer homeless people
(01:10):
in the county and about three thousand die every year.
Now there you go.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
It's a good way to get rid of the problem.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Just wait until they tip over from a fentonel overdose,
and then hold the press conference and say, look, how
we're reducing homelessness. We're allowing them to inject themselves to death. Yeah,
all right, take a bot for that. And there's so
many homeless in Santa Monica. There's so many awful things
going on. John Alley is sometimes it seems like he's
(01:42):
the only guy who's fighting it. He's a businessman with
the Santa Monica Coalition, and he's gotten a lot of
coverage recently because he's going around offering homeless people one
way tickets out of town so they can get back
with their families and friends. He's got donors who are
offering the money. Let's get John Alley on.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
John, how are you hi, John Great.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
I give us the parameters of this program.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Well, do I believe homelessness has been reduced by three percent?
Nobody in our coalition does. Nope. We believe unreported homelessness,
more people living in carports, garages, underpasses, has increased. We're
now LA County is twelve percent of the total US
homeless population. That's seventy five thousand homeless individuals. So our
(02:29):
goal is to be more efficient and our group, the coalition,
sat down and we talked about it. We talked about
using better technology, faster response, being more efficient. So we
tried something different. We wanted to check it out. We
checked out what the city was doing, we checked out
(02:50):
what the county was doing. We saw that there was
no response, no one getting back to us. Opened a
line that you wait on for four or five five
minutes with a lots of different responses. You can click
on the key and we partnered with a tremendous AI firm,
(03:10):
Fast Response AI, and with their technology, we can intake
five hundred people per month, and that's much higher than
the cities of La or Santa Monica or the County
of La are even able to consider handling. We don't
(03:31):
need the staffing and it's efficient, it's it's working, and
we just feel that there's no need for multi year contracts,
automatic grants for these nonprofits. Who has those anymore? A
billion dollars.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
The criminals do.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
They keep that in place because it's easier to steal
the money.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
A billion was budgeted last year on homelessness, and it
led to a reduction of just about three percent or
sixteen hundred people, but three percent, as you were saying,
that's less than the margin of error for most election
and polls. So if you take one billion and you
divide it by stay sixteen hundred homeless, that's six hundred
(04:16):
thousand per person. We can do better for family reunification.
It's costing us. The Santa Monica Coalition really gracious donors
stepping up all over the city, all over the county,
all over the state, and we're handling the situation with
a five hundred dollars gray m bus ticket or airfare
(04:39):
per person, and they're getting real care on their own
volition from people that really need and want acceptance from
their families, and we're verifying that they want to go.
I've gone out on a couple and to test it myself,
and it's it's just been heartbreaking to see the number
(05:02):
of people that don't want to be here. The homeless,
don't feel safe here.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
The homeless are begging to get out, and so they're
taking your money.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
To go home.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
And it's working. We've got people going to Chicago, people
going to Philadelphia. Yesterday we were out by the former
Sears building which is now the temporary Palle High Campus
in Santa Monica, and we handed out I was on
(05:39):
a tour actually with someone from Corona who saw their
brother in one of the telecasts on KTLA, and they
called us and said, John, we saw a picture of
someone in the background while you're on the air. We
want to meet you. So I went out and met them.
(06:01):
We walked around and we ran across four or five
people in the grass areas next to Pelley High. The
temporary campus handed out a few of the flyers that
give our number and the messages when and if you're
ever ready to go back home, called this number. There
(06:22):
was a guy asleep and he got up and said,
I'm interested. I want to go home. My dad's part
of a gang, and I have dual Mexican and US citizenship.
It's safer back home. I want to go home. And
we're finding that all over. We received a call last
(06:47):
week from a woman and a shelter, a local shelter
who is being harassed and accosted and didn't feel safe.
She said, if I stay in here, I'm not safe.
If I go out on the sidewalk, I'll be assaulted.
She said, I only have mace. They have knives. So
this is and by the way, where we took the
(07:09):
woman whose brother is missing to the police department. The
police Santa Monica police work tremendous. They found him on
social services, had not committed a crime, so he's wandering
around here somewhere, and they are welcome to accept him
back at any time. And we're finding that ninety percent
(07:31):
of the people that we see that don't have needles
with them, that we don't see knives hanging out of
their bags. They're interested in this program, and we can
handle the program with very few staff, with this great
fast response AI firm. And we don't understand why the
(07:52):
city and the county city of Santa Monica, in the
city of la and the nonprofits that are supposed to
be doing this work, this isn't our bill because.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Because this would put them out of business.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
That's why, right then all those people making the six
figure salaries would have to find real work. I'm convinced
that the whole thing is such a massive corrupt operation
that is paying so many people so much money. Nobody
wants those nonprofits to fold up. And they're all politically
(08:22):
connected or related or staffed by people in these governments.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
They may not like our message, our banners or signs,
but our hearts are in the right place. We don't
care if the city leaders like us. We just want
them to utilize better technology and a better message to
get people off the streets. It's not a hard thing
to do. Why do we have to wait five years?
Speaker 1 (08:45):
How many people do you help?
Speaker 3 (08:47):
So?
Speaker 1 (08:47):
How many people have you helped so far?
Speaker 3 (08:48):
Again, in just two weeks, we've helped nine people now, yeah,
and we've got a few that are in the works
that we're helping, and we're filming each one. One of
the things that are necessary is that when they get home.
(09:08):
First of all, we have to talk to the person
on the other end, the receiving end, who will accept
them at their arrival. And number two, we film them
as they're leaving and they're thanking us, they're crying, they're
hugging us. And these are people on the streets four
five months, six months, And when they get home, we
(09:29):
want evidence that they've gotten home. And some have phones
that are issued in LA some have Obama phones that
are good from state to state, and those people are
calling and they're letting us know they're home. But what
you said earlier is correct. If you look at the
(09:49):
people writing a lot of these nonprofits and this kind
of program that's supposed to be doing what we're doing,
and you can't get anybody on the phone for two
or three if at all are interconnected. Yeah, I mean
we still go back to Bill i Allusion's report on
Sheila Kule's partner accepting a large contract for a needless.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Hotline numbers none for good. Yeah, I gotta, I gotta
do the news.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Thank you John Ally for coming on, Thanks for having
me and let us know how this is going. In
the future, we'll talk more about this because I know
what's going on. John Alley knows what's going on. You
should know that this is really the truth.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
We just had John Alley on. He's the businessman in
Santa Monica. Santa Monica Coalition is his group, and he's
got donors who are willing to pay five hundred dollars
for playing fair or bus fair so that homeless people
in Santa Monica can go home and be reunited with
friends and family. So far, they've helped nine people do that.
This is what can be done. I don't know what
(11:02):
the percentage is, but I bet you, I bet you,
we could do better than what's going on now. Because,
as he said, if you divide the amount of money
we're spending every year, this is over a billion dollars
on homelessness, and and you divide that by the number
(11:24):
of homeless, it that they're getting way way more money
than the five hundred bucks that were that John is
spending to buy a plane or a bus ticket. I
think if you offer them bribes and you help them
make connections with friends and family back home, a lot
of these people would take it. But what would happen?
(11:46):
I don't know why. The question I've had it's like,
why do people believe in government?
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Why do they believe it? Now?
Speaker 2 (11:56):
I understand why the people in government do because they
like having control role, and they like stealing the money,
and they are stealing the homeless money. I wonder when
people will accept that's what's going on. I mean, the
LA County Board of Supervisors kind of admits it in
(12:17):
a way because they're disbanding LASA, they're taking over the program.
What are they saying that all our tax money that
went to LASA didn't do any good. Well, if it
didn't do any good, why would that be? It's because
these were fake programs, fake programs that don't work, and
they weren't meant to work. I don't know why people
believe in these programs in these organizations, these agencies.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Why why do you? Why do you trust it?
Speaker 5 (12:44):
Well?
Speaker 6 (12:44):
If they don't work, are we going to get our
money back? And what's going to happen with Measure A?
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Uh, Measure A.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
We're still going to be given away a half cent
every time we buy a dollar's worth of goods in
La County. It's gonna it's it is good.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
That tax is.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Forever unless we rescind it.
Speaker 7 (13:02):
Why don't we do that?
Speaker 1 (13:04):
I would do that, so would.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
I if I was the dictator. Okay, well and you
were the assistant dictator, that's what we would do.
Speaker 6 (13:10):
Well, let's let's let's get a move on on that.
I mean, why are we spending more tax money on
a program that we know clearly doesn't work?
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Because people, but you and I know what that clearly
doesn't work. But explain the vote in November majority.
Speaker 7 (13:27):
They didn't know.
Speaker 6 (13:28):
I think, though, to be fair, a lot of people
that voted yes on Measure A did not know right
the the news didn't come out about all the programs,
all the less programs, right, all the all the negative
talk about them until after.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
They now if if all the TV stations and the
LA Times, while news agencies consistently reported all the time
that the money is being stolen because it is, eventually
that would filter down into people's brains and they'd accept it,
why is it that most of the journal in town
don't want to investigate and document what they know is true.
(14:06):
It's being stolen. The nonprofits are fake, the phony, the
programs are worthless. Obviously, nothing's gotten better, everything's gotten worse.
This has been going on for well over ten years now.
So when something doesn't change, when it's clear to your eyes,
to everybody's eyes, that this is a big rackety, let's.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Take Channel seven.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Why doesn't the Channel seven and the Channel five news
department send some reporters in.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
And blow the lid off this thing?
Speaker 6 (14:40):
Because people, when you talk about the homeless situation, and
I've told you this on and off the air, so
many people that I've talked to, they all say, how
can you vote no on something that's gonna help the homeless.
Speaker 7 (14:52):
I think not your listeners.
Speaker 6 (14:54):
But so many people do not understand that the money
is not going to the homeless.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
Would they see things aren't getting better? The best thing
you could say is the problems are completely yesterday.
Speaker 6 (15:07):
We have the homeless count, right, we're saying that that
the homeless what is.
Speaker 7 (15:10):
It four percent?
Speaker 6 (15:11):
There's a four percent decline, So people think, aha, that's
a look at this, John, there's fewer.
Speaker 7 (15:17):
Homeless people on the streets.
Speaker 6 (15:19):
So therefore all the programs that we voted for are helping, so.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
That there's ninety six percent less.
Speaker 7 (15:26):
Because it's less, right, there's few that's.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
All still, Yeah, there's billions of dollars. You get a
reduction of four percent. Probably it's those who died.
Speaker 7 (15:36):
It's all spin, you know that.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
But what makes people have faith? I mean, you and
I can reason this out in a matter of seconds.
Why can't regular people see that there's a lot of
thieves and goons and government who steal are stealing money.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
Why don't they want to accept that?
Speaker 6 (15:54):
I just think when it comes to the homeless situation,
I just I do I think people really and again
I feel bad.
Speaker 7 (16:01):
For people that are homeless. It's not something I like
to see.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
The reason not to trust the government because everything's gotten
worse under these government programs.
Speaker 6 (16:11):
But again, the spin when you have the mayor Bass
and you have people saying that there's four percent fewer
people on the streets and that there's now this is
a trend, right, what was her name, the homeless, the
loss of person.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
The person as Lisa Alicia Adams Callum right, who's on
her way out and gave her husband's organization.
Speaker 7 (16:31):
She said, this is a trend. It's a trend now
that there are fewer people living.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
They don't know, they don't know political people why it's
it's fascinating.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
You're listening to John Cobel's on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Or on every day from one until four o'clock and
then after four o'clock John cobelt Show on demand on
the iHeart app, and you could listen to what you missed.
You go to the podcast and listen at one thirty
at one o'clock hour. Because we went through the history
a short history of Karen Bass's involvement with this radical
left wing communist group back in the nineteen seventies. She
(17:10):
made eight trips to Cuba. She was absolutely mismesmerized by
Fidel Castro, and then she made at least eight more
trips as an adult, so she's been to Cuba sixteen times.
So if you look around and you think Los Angeles
is a stinkhole, well, Cuba was her inspiration and Castro
was her political idol.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
True story.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
You can look it up online and listen to the
summary I gave Coming up Well on the podcast the
one thirty to two o'clock segment Excuse me now, on
another podcast by Sean Ryan, who's a conservative podcaster, former
military guy, former CIA worker. He had Gavin Newsom on,
(17:55):
and did you write to me Eric that this was
a four hour podcast?
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Yeah? Do youavin't Newsom spoke with for four hours? Yeah?
It was like four hours in like twelve minutes.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
Can you imagine with all the work that needs to
be done in the Palisades, with there's still seventy two
thousand homeless people in the streets here, he's got four
hours to try to make inroads in his presidential run.
And this is what Sean Ryan asked him about if
(18:29):
he's going to run for president, Listen to this dance.
Speaker 5 (18:32):
It seems like you're gearing up for maybe a presidential run.
I mean, you were just in South Carolina, went to
a couple different places there to speak. I mean, are
you gearing up for a twenty twenty eight run? No,
I'm gearing up for twenty sixteen, because from my humble perspective,
I think it's existential if my party's not successful next year.
(18:53):
And that's why I was out there on the stump
nine different events.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
Just make a second. Did he say he's gearing up
for twenty sixteen. Yeah, that's exactly what he said. Now
what does that mean? He gets into it?
Speaker 3 (19:07):
All? Right?
Speaker 5 (19:07):
Continue, And that's why I was out there on the
stump nine different events, just making the case. Don't look
for the guy guy on the white horse to come
save the day in twenty twenty eight. I think it's
the Democrat parties. I'm blown away the Democrats obsession with
just that sort of perfect person that's going to say
you have sort of this John Wayne thing, this romantic
(19:29):
version of that person's going to save the day. Meanwhile,
we're not doing the hard work in between. Twenty twenty
eight is for damn you. I mean, this guy just
got elected in obviously a little over six months, or
about six goddamn months, by the hell, we talked about
twenty twenty eight, and so we.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Got to grind.
Speaker 5 (19:45):
We got it at how you know these house seats?
That's it, man, it's to me. I need a speaker, Jeffries.
People out there love this speaker. Johnson, guy, I don't.
He wants, of course, to tar and feather me. It's
a spiritual term, I imagine and see that. Maybe it's
what is this the Old Testament?
Speaker 3 (20:03):
Not that.
Speaker 5 (20:06):
We're just we have different, different points of view and
world vision.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
So you're not gonna run.
Speaker 5 (20:11):
I'm not well, I'm avoid I'm gonna run if he
tries to tire feather me. But as it relates to
the presidency, who the hell knows. That's that's fate, that's you.
Do you meet a moment? Are you wasting anyone's time?
Speaker 1 (20:24):
Do you have a why?
Speaker 5 (20:25):
That compelling why I have? I would have to sit
in front of you and feel totally can congruent.
Speaker 7 (20:32):
Just like I'm a little confused. I don't understand.
Speaker 6 (20:37):
I'm not trying to be rude or disrespectful.
Speaker 7 (20:40):
I don't understand the meat a.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
Moment apparently you're not swooning.
Speaker 7 (20:45):
I'm not. No, I don't swoon over any policy.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Are you blacking out? No?
Speaker 7 (20:50):
Not, I would never do that over.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
We're going to need to replay on this. This is
gonna take a lot longer than I thought.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
We need a replay on this last line here started
with like a couple of lines before incongruent or whatever
the hell he said?
Speaker 5 (21:05):
Do you meet a moment?
Speaker 1 (21:06):
Do you mean a moment?
Speaker 5 (21:08):
Are you wasting anyone's time?
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Do you have a why?
Speaker 5 (21:11):
A compelling why? I mean I would have to sit
in front of you and feel totally congruent that I'm
just like, this is the why? Why are you running?
And just say this is you know? And have that
burning conviction. I'll tell you, the more Trump keeps knowing
what he does, the more compelled I am to think
(21:31):
about it. I've never felt more outrage.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
More anger.
Speaker 5 (21:38):
Towards towards actions and often this individual. Then I make
it it.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
You don't feel any ancher.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
You just want to be president because you're going to
be out of work in a year and a half.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
Could you imagine listening to four hours of that four hours?
Speaker 8 (21:55):
How much did you listen to like ten minutes. I
did not listen all four hours. I was finding cuts
on Twitter and then finding finding the context in the
original video.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
I was hoping, you've gone through enough. Nobody has to
do four hours of Kevin Newsom.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
Well.
Speaker 8 (22:09):
I was planning on going through all of it, and
then I saw it was four hours, and I was like,
I'll find the clips.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
There's nobody who's that interesting for four hours?
Speaker 1 (22:20):
Oh yeah, yay.
Speaker 6 (22:21):
But he met the moment because he said the more
you know, he doesn't like what Trump does or I'm parapree.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
I know, but Trumps.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
He's not running against Trump in four years.
Speaker 7 (22:30):
I know, but he's but this is the moment, apparently,
and he.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
Needs to be congruent and he needs a why.
Speaker 7 (22:37):
Well, the why is he wants to the United States? Why?
Why does anybody run for press?
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Like a Wheel of Fortune contestant, I need a why?
I need a why. You can buy a walk No,
you can't buy a why?
Speaker 1 (22:49):
Right?
Speaker 5 (22:50):
Why?
Speaker 1 (22:50):
It's not a vowel? All right? That was head spinning.
I'm naucious. Let's play a cut.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
Number two. Newsomb really gets cool here. He starts cursing.
Speaker 5 (23:00):
Those are our guys that were out there, you know,
out there at every single intersection during the fires. These
guys were exhausted, and now they're being told to mask up.
I mean they were, there was no masks. I told you.
They're getting selfies out there where they're beloved in Santa Monica. Now, man,
all that reputational damage it's being done as they're sitting
there on horses with American flags, running through soccer fields,
(23:22):
scaring kids that are playing soccer in the middle of
the day in a summer camp. For what just toughness.
It's weakness masquerading his strength.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
That's what I don't like.
Speaker 5 (23:31):
About the son of them. I don't And forgive me.
I know he's the President of the States. Forgive me.
I didn't you know, I forgive me. He calls me
new scum? You know, Come on, how to explain that
to my kid? Now he's got I have my kids
friends calling my kid's new scum. That I get because
I was called that in seventh grade, But not my
seventy nine year old model better God behavior, Man, forgive the.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
Donee Trump to model of behavior.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
Why these cars are left and right?
Speaker 2 (24:06):
You know sometimes the kids on the playground, they're right,
they're they're They're perceptive. They know when when one of
the kids is a loser, when one kid is a wiener,
you know that the wiener kids they were up to
be winner adults. That's why they're taunted on the playground.
That's mean.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
They had me. That is mean. That's true.
Speaker 7 (24:24):
That it's so.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
Mean that I think actually children's impressions of certain classmates,
you know, when they're like ten years old or dead on.
Speaker 7 (24:35):
You know, people used to.
Speaker 6 (24:36):
Make fun of me when I was when I was
a little debbie because I was so short.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
And were they wrong?
Speaker 7 (24:43):
No, But but they were so mean. I wasn't mean.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
I wasn't what did they call you that?
Speaker 6 (24:48):
It wasn't what they called me, It just they just God,
it was because I was short.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
Has that stopped?
Speaker 7 (24:55):
Well, I'm an adult now, so yes.
Speaker 6 (24:59):
But p can be mean, and I mean, the only
thing I can say that I do understand what he's
saying is I feel bad that his kids are being
called new scum because kids can be really really mean.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
You got it tough enough, you do, yeah, but.
Speaker 7 (25:15):
You know you have kids. If one of your kids
came home and.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
You know, and I never I would tell him that
story of the world.
Speaker 7 (25:23):
Is did you say you are scum?
Speaker 2 (25:25):
John? God knows what kids said about me to them.
I never asked.
Speaker 4 (25:33):
You're listening to John cobbelts on demand from KFI Am sixty.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Live Everywhere on the iHeartRadio ass radio app.
Speaker 7 (25:43):
Wait what what was that?
Speaker 2 (25:46):
Something wrong with me? At John Cobelt Radio? On social media?
Is how you follow us at John Cobelt Radio. Less
than seven hundred followers needed to hit thirty thousand the
iHeart Radio ass. I had no idea what that means.
I don't know what's on my mind. Probably shouldn't.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Why.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
Sean Ryan is a conservative podcast host a former military
guy CIA Guy. He interviewed Gavin Newsom for four hours.
I will not be listening to this for four hours.
I'm grateful that Eric took a few minutes to get
some of the highlights. Uh, he's done a lot of cursing,
you know, Newsom. It's such an affectation when he curses.
(26:36):
And I can only imagine he's doing it because his
The research shows everybody thinks he's a spoiled rich kid,
and and so he's trying to be a regular guy,
trying to be down to earth. So now he's he's
swearing all the time.
Speaker 7 (26:50):
Well maybe the women that swoon they find out sexy.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
Yeah, they want to be talked dirty too, like.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
All right, anyway, Ryan asks Newsome, is eight years old
too young for what they call gender affirming surgery? Gender
affirming surgery, that is one of those most absurd phrases.
That's when they chop the genitals off a little boy. Okay,
and they called gender affirming. Listen to Newsom's answer. This
(27:23):
is lengthy and it's hard to follow. So let's go
on the ride together.
Speaker 5 (27:28):
What about for your values? I mean, is eight years
old too young?
Speaker 3 (27:32):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (27:32):
I mean, look, I now that I have a nine
year old just became nine. Come on, man, I get it.
So those are the j's. It's interesting, just the issue
of age. I haven't as stop stop stop.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
Ryan brings up the idea, you know, an eight year
old chopping off their genitals is all early. And come on, oh, man,
I get it. I have a nine year old. I
wouldn't wanted generals chopped off. No, no, no, it's not
that it's gender affirming surgery. Use the proper woke terminology,
(28:13):
all right, play some more.
Speaker 5 (28:15):
Come on, man, I get it. So those are legit.
You know, it's interesting just the issue of age. I
haven't as I am there's someone that's been so focused
on equality broadly LGBT rights, particularly gay marriage. The trans
(28:37):
issue for me is also novels. It's over the last
few years, I'm trying to understand as much as anyone else,
whole pronoun thing. Trying to understand all of that. Well,
you know that was like help me all that stuff,
I get it. This all this stuff started to collapse
on us. I joked with Charlie about latin X. You know,
(28:57):
I remember walking into my staff used I started using
the word LATINX a few times, and then my chief
of staff, who happens to be Hispanic, goes, would you
shut up? I'm like, what, she goes, who uses that word?
Speaker 1 (29:08):
I said, I don't know.
Speaker 5 (29:09):
She said, staff said, do not ever use that word toget.
I'm like, what's going on. I was like, okay, literally
society literally style I'll never forget. I was like, whoa
we were to this is sort of zoom conversation, and
she got me. Literally My Hispanic team of staff's like
shut up, and so I'm like we were all kind
of like I never I mean those meetings were my
pronouns and everyone goes across. This all this was sort
(29:32):
of I think post George Floyd.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
Yah, we stopped a second.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
He actually they had meetings Newsom's office and everybody stand up.
Everybody stood up and went through their pronouns. This is
what was going on in Newsom's office, the staff's standing
up and going through all the pronoun variations, all the
combinations possible.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
By the way, he sounds stoned, He absolutely.
Speaker 7 (30:02):
Talking very fast. Is some of the words are slurred.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
So I mean, is this what gummies do?
Speaker 6 (30:10):
I mean, when I take a gummy, I usually go
to bed because I don't really talk.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
Some more.
Speaker 5 (30:18):
I never I mean those meetings where my pronouns and
everyone goes across this is all. This was sort of
I think, post George Floyd, post COVID, we kind of
came out and there was obviously this rights movement post
George Floyd, which you got to understand, I mean, on
the basis of what occurred and all the social unrest,
and there was a natural inclination then to try to
course correct. But it was across the spectrum of issues,
(30:41):
including increasingly on the issues.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
How we talk talking about politically.
Speaker 5 (30:46):
Correct and sensitive people started becoming use of language pronouns.
And then issues around the trans community and study and
this notion of gender affirming care for children. That's tough
man in science on that. You know, I'm trying. I
have men't dove that deep into it, but you know
I read one report.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
Wait wait, wait, wait, do you have to dive deep
into it? You're talking about cutting off the genitals of
an eight year old? What bore do you need to know?
What kind of science? What kind of research? Okay, you
got an eight year old boy. He suddenly decides maybe
I'm a girl. Daddy, Okay, we're going to take you
to the hospital. Okay, oh god, now you're a girl.
(31:26):
What the hell is wrong with him? What's wrong with everybody?
You know what they found out most of the people
who were confessed, most of the young kids who may
have wondered if they're really a boy or a girl
if you waited until they went through puberty, it turned
(31:46):
out most of them were gay. Some of them were
not gay, they were just being kids. Very very few
of them were actually trans. It was a complete hysterical oaks.
It was nonsense. Everything that made no sense back then
just maybe five years ago, it made no sense because
(32:07):
it was nonsense, it was idiocy, it was a hysteria.
It's like a social contagion. Keep playing this and in.
Speaker 5 (32:16):
The science on that, I you know, I'm trying, I
mean't go that deep into it, but you know, I
read one raport and then there's one that's slightly contradictory,
and then they said, there's no contradictory. Here's what the
UK just came out with. You're full of it's absolutely
scientifically sound that it's outrageous, you know, And so it's
it's intense. And then I meet with families, literally meet
(32:37):
with families. Saved my child, child's life, and.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
They're thriving, right, And he should be in charge of
those decisions because he is so intelligent and sharp and coherent.
What a babbling idiot that is presidential material. There got
more coming up. Exhausted today, Deborah Mark Live in the
