Speaker 1 (00:00):
Can't. I am six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
You're listening to the John Cobel podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
We're on every day from one until four after four o'clock.
John Cobelt's show on demand and Yes, the latest is
according to New York Post that Gavin Newsom's hair did
not burst into flames during the fire and ember landed
on his head and a fire official swept it off
(00:25):
his head. But it did not burst into flames. Okay,
but we're still on that story and we're looking for
any updates. He said it's on video. His office produced
a video, but it was not a video of his
hair bursting into flames. There was no wall of fire
(00:46):
coming out of his head. Now we're going to talk
to pallisag's resident named Michael Currith. Michael is a has
lost his home, but he's become an expert witness in
the legal case. He has a website called fire rebuild
dot com on a list of facts on what happened,
(01:08):
other detailed information. You could look at a fireybuild dot com.
Let's get him on here. Michael, How are you good?
Speaker 3 (01:19):
How are you John?
Speaker 2 (01:20):
It's good to have you on and I'm sorry about
all the loss you suffered with your home. Can you
briefly describe what your experience was the day of the fire.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
I think I need to actually go before that. So
we actually lost our home in a twenty eighteen woolseyfire,
and that is what initiated Thefirerebuilt dot com. It's after
six years of dealing with the City of Malibu through
departmenting process, we were signed off in twenty twenty two.
We had signed off from the fire Department the City
(01:52):
of Malibu where you can make all that assets to
come back and started or to process again. So then
after that it was twenty twentive or twenty twenty four
came towards the end of the year and the fire
department told us that we would never be allowed to
rebuild the homes. So we moved to the Palasades and
(02:13):
three months later is when the Palasads fire happened. So
fire Rebuilders actually initiated back then to help inform people,
to help let them know what they may be going
through in the fire rebuild process so that they can
make the informed decision whether to just sell their land
and move on or to go through the permitting and
rebuilding process.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
So what happened to your second home in the Palisades
had survived?
Speaker 3 (02:38):
No, we lost that one.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
You lost that you had two homes, You lost two homes.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
Yes, and exactly so the fire rebuilt site. I transitioned
that from a way to help and inform people over
to more of a documentation of what happened that day,
what has happened since, and it took off. I got lucky.
Rick Caruso shared my wind and weather report that I
(03:05):
put out, the Unprecedented Failure not unprecedented conditions report, and
it was kind of started from that. The day of
the fire, I didn't feel any winds. I knew there
were no winds. My wife and I we fought, and
I because we didn't take anything. We didn't. We thought
because we lived next to an elementary school, a church,
(03:29):
and the Palastage village, that we will be fine. They
will never let an entire community burns. So I thought
we didn't have to really take anything. And that was
our biggest regret is that we put a lot of
faith in that anyone could do their job that day,
and no one did.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Nobody, nobody. I've watched two documentaries on the fire, just
in the last few days, and it seems to be
obvious that nobody showed up. There was no preparation beforehand,
there was no execution in fighting the fire, and now
after the fire, there is nobody helping people rebuild and
(04:06):
navigate the whole stupid process.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
And that's why I reached out to you, honestly. It's
I heard your report on I know the documentary are
talking about from Rob. I watched that, but that just
covers a small piece of what really happened that day.
So I really do appreciate how you were coming forward
and covering the disaster that had happened and that we're
still going through because a lot of the media isn't
(04:31):
and what Rob's film, the documentary was covering, they did
stand down. It wasn't just the Lockman fire where they
were ordered to stand down and let it burn that
everyone's talking about. It was the day of the fire,
between three and four pm the fire department was given
(04:51):
in order to stand down and just let it burn out.
And that's I think what his documentary is covering, and
it's we have not had any needs support from anyone.
They're still refusing to acknowledge that anything really happened to us,
and they're lying about it. I mean, the main difference,
and I wanted to cover this, I don't. I don't
want to talk over or cut you off or anything.
(05:13):
But the main difference that people outside of California needs
to really understand is that what we went through was
completely different from they eat and fire. It's different than
the fire in Hawaii. It's different from any disaster in
history and the state of California. That's why I'm saying
it's the worst unnatural disaster in the state of California.
(05:33):
And the reason for that is the blame when Sokala
it's in for the Wolvesy fire. Yes, it was painful
for a lot of people, but if you did follow
the lawsuit, you were made whole. They didn't fall. The
major problem that we're having right now is all of California.
And it's not just Gavenusom, it's the mayor, it's even
(05:57):
our senators. We don't even have senates here. We have
to get people from outside of our state to help us.
That they haven't admitted fault, and people need to understand
that that we're in a really terrible situation, not just
because of the fire, but because nobody is taking accountability
or a knitting what happens.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Nobody. It's it's bizarre because you do have the state
with responsibility, the City of the La Fire Department, the
Department of Water and Services, you know, just for starters here,
and there isn't one person that I've seen from any
of these agencies, anybody in government who's talked honestly about
(06:39):
what went on and why nobody They either don't talk
or they just give you cliches and platitudes and promises
for an investigation somewhere down the road. But mostly it's
it's just a blackout of information. It's it's stonewalling all around.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
I completely agree, and I really, like I said, I
really appreciate that your covering it. And it's the weirdest
thing to me is my background is in saltware engineering technology.
I just want to make it clearer or to anyone
listening that fire Rebuild is in no way for profit
taking donations, ads or anything. Is My background is just
(07:17):
to help people. I have a technical background. I'm not
a builder. I don't know any of that really. But
it's the weirdest thing to me is that if somebody
starts throwing out numbers. I see that is the defendent
of the fact that there should be evidence to back
Do's numbers. And the day of the fire, everyone in
the media kept saying hurricane force winds, hundred mile hour
(07:40):
winds huntred male hour are gust and there's no record
of that. Like part of me being an expert witness
in the case, why I was approached is I went
through all fifty six weather stations surrounding the fire in
Los Angeles County and none of them recorded anything close
to that.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
What about the winds in the palisade specifically on that day.
What's the best estimate of the wind speed?
Speaker 3 (08:08):
So when I give these numbers, I need to preface it.
So I'm talking from ten am to four pm. What
the four pm period is when they stood down and
they said, let's just say fact, we're not doing anything.
The fire department gave up. So between that times frame
you have to also consider the distance in the elevation.
(08:30):
So in terms of distance from the fire origin, it's
a weather station and Pacific Palisade is about two point
two miles from the fire origin, and that recorded about
five miles per an hour sustained wind average speed, and
that was at twelve twenty nine PM five spot five
miles per hour. And the reason why I'm using average
(08:51):
sustained wind speed I'll backtrack on this is they're using
hurricane force wins. So the definition of a hurricane force
wind is an average sustained wind speed, and so it
doesn't mean like the mac speed of that period or
wind gust that's excluded. So if we're talking purely wind
speed average, it was five miles per hour. Was the
(09:14):
closest weather station in elevation. The one that was closest
in elevation to the fire origin was only eight miles
per hour. So it's I mean, even if you take
the overall sum the maximum wind speed in the area
of the Palisades, it was thirty one miles per hour.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
That was the highest wind speed, the highest gust in
thirty one according to all the records you could find.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
Speed all in Pacific pali Stades. Now, there is one
weather station that they all keep pointing to. It's only
one out of fifty fifty six, and that's they call
it the sixty nine Bravo. It's owned by the Los
Angeles County Fire Department. There was a helicopter pad up there,
and that is double in elevation above where the fire
(10:06):
origin is, and it's five times in elevation above Pacific Palisades,
the Palisades Village area. And that one during the time
of the fire, that one only recorded about thirty to
forty is the average wind speed during the ten am
to four pm, the containable period of the fire. The
(10:29):
maximum throughout the day was not one hundred miles per
hour winds or guts, and it never even recorded hurricane
force winds. So the entire thing of that is false.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
I'm sorry, hang on because I need to do the
news here and we're going to come back and continue.
All right, all right, we got Michael Michael Krathon. He's
a Palisades resident. Fire rebuild dot Com is the website.
He's actually lost two homes to fire here in southern
California where in the wolvesy fire moved to the Palace
and that one burned down as well.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Boys line eight seven seven moist eighty six for Friday
eight seven seven moist eighty six. You use the talkback
feature on the iHeartRadio app. We continue now with Michael Kurrath,
Palisades resident who lost his home in the fire. He's
got a website called fire Rebuild dot com, and we
were talking about how he looked at fifty six wind
(11:31):
stations in the Palisades area and none of them had
anything recorded anywhere near one hundred miles an hour wind
speed hurricane force wind speed, which would be over seventy
four miles an hour during that period between ten and
four o'clock when the LA Fire Department was still fighting
the fire and then they stood down. We're gonna play,
(11:52):
Michael just for a little five second clip of Gavin
Newsom speaking recently. He was talking about trying to get
money out of Washington, and I'll remind people, in the
middle of winter, we had one hundred mile on our
winds attached to a fire. So there you go, Newsome.
This this that clip is from the past week. One
(12:13):
hundred mile and Horawinsy claims, Michael, you there, Yes.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
I'm here, can you hear me?
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (12:21):
Okay, So online a lot of people are kind of
reiterating the same thing, and it seems to be a
common excuse. Again they when it's all happened. Everyone we
talked to that was in the area then it then't
witnessed that, and the reports that I research couldn't validate
any of that, so we knew they were covering up
(12:42):
something or lying about something. And my response on that
when people say that or they reiterate that false narrative
is can you provide the daytime weather station that recorded
those wins? And so far nobody's been able to do so.
I mean, I encourage your listen. They can reach out
to me on the site if they find a record
(13:03):
of one mile per our win on that day. Actually
in California, there's no one hundred miles for our wins
that were recorded anywhere in California that day. And I
know because I downloaded the sixteen terabytes of whether and
climate data to disprove the unprecedented conditions of the day.
So I have a lot of data on this and
(13:25):
I can disprove any of those false claims if anyone
wants to bring them forward.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
This must be making you insane to hear them constantly
repeat this, not only Newsome but other politicians, everybody in
the media.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
I think the thing that's making us insane is the
simple fact of people should be very concerned. And I
know the latest thing that came out of let it
burn the state park thing. I guess it's in the
manual that they don't put out fires for some reason. Yeah,
the plants are more important than the people.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
Milk plant is going.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
To burn anyway, I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
The milk vetch plant. Apparently that's the most important plant
in human.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
History, more important than people. But the point that I
was trying to make is if you really look at
the state park surrounding the area, Brentwood has two will
Rogers State Park and another. I believe Calabasas has a
few as well. Malibu has five. So the area of concern.
(14:30):
If people that live in Brentwood, Calabasas should be very concerned,
they should be reaching out now to the state parks
to get a copy of the manual and see are
they going to let my home burn? Because it's not
a matter of it, it's a matter of when and
the when kind of period that I'm seeing with this
current legislation and everybody in power right now, it seems
(14:51):
to be a five year cycle. Like wolvesey fire hapened,
everybody forgets and they move on. Then it's Palistate's fire.
The fire art has to get their rewards and make
everybody proud. So they're going to do their job, and
homes are going to be saved within these next two
or three years. But then they're going to start to
weaken again. People are going to forget, they don't care.
(15:14):
I saw it with the Wolsey fire. It's the first
year people cared. They're very sympathetic, they're all there to
help you. But then as the years start to go on,
people start to forget and they start to they don't care.
So it is going to happen. And I really do
encourage Brent Wood in Calabasa's the residents there. Everybody knows
(15:39):
that Malibu is surrounded by five five state parks, So
if you want to find out if your home is
actually in danger, just reach out to that. And the
reason why I'm saying in danger is because fifty six
percent of residential areas in California are equal or greater
fire risk of Pacific Pali states. And that's based on
(16:02):
the climate data throughout history back from nineteen seventy nine
to current, the weather reports, the indexes they use, these
metrics or a call like a burning and I just
have to interrupt you call it.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
I only have a minute here, and I do want
to talk with you again soon. Okay. But they don't
clear the brush in these state parks. They just don't.
I saw a woman in one documentary say that the
brush was probably ten feet high near her house and
it was on state park land. So all the instruction
they're constantly giving all of us homeowners they don't do
(16:40):
at all.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
Oh no, I completely understand. There's an entire list of
things that I could go over with you. It'll take
like ten days to go through it all. But there's
so many contradictions. It's where we're going to pull the
home part into defensible states zero or zone zero whatever,
and then but they don't do anything. They are not
even taken in accountability. They're not even saying we're sorry
(17:06):
that it's happened. How can we help you, Like if
we had anyone in power that said, hey, I'm sorry
this happened, how can we help you get through this
or we messed up?
Speaker 2 (17:16):
Okay, lines Michael, We're gonna talk again soon and we'll
go through some other issues.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
Okay, Okay, thank you for your time.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
Thank you for coming on Michael Kurth because I'm gonna
stay on this. I know that this is a far
bigger scandal than anybody can even imagine. You could just
tell by the way they've shut down in stonewalled and lied.
Speaker 4 (17:40):
You're listening to John cobelts on demand from KFI Am
six forty.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
We're on every day from one and til four o'clock,
and then after four o'clock John Cobelt's show on demand
on the iHeart app. You can subscribe on YouTube YouTube
dot com slash at John Cobelt's show and look at
all the longer segment videos we've been posting YouTube dot
com at John Cobelt's Show. And finally you go on
the social media platforms and you will find the segments
(18:06):
and that I did with Alex Michaelson last night on
The Story is on CNN. He's got a new show
every weeknight from nine to eleven, and I debated civil
rights attorney named Areva Martin on Newsome whining about Trump
or Trump's administration, the whole administration not meeting with him.
(18:28):
Nobody from FEMA, nobody from any department wanted to talk
to him because he's trying to get money. We also
talked about Jasmine Crockett as well, running for senate. Now
I'm going to play you a clip here, and this
is Mayor bass Is tiptoeing out in public again. Maybe
(18:49):
she thinks the shame that she's been suffering from for
abandoning LA and defunding the fire department is fading. And
so she showed up Sunday in Sherman, oh and a
person named Scott Myers confronted her about the number of
homeless deaths. What he figured out is the number of
(19:10):
homeless deaths. If you add him up, uh, it roughly
equals the number of homeless people that she claims have
been taken off the streets. Now, the audio is a
little low, and I'm going to read you like a
transcript at times, but I want you first to get
the sense that this really happened. And I can tell
you her body language in this. She couldn't wait to
(19:30):
get out of there, and she kept that weird, sickly
frozen smile on her face and really didn't offer much
in the way of resistance to his his claims. So
play the clip here.
Speaker 5 (19:46):
A question I asked him Sarah's duction.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
She did out about Okay, stop right there, because that's
an important part he's saying this. The city council president
in La mar Case, Harris Dawson, has said that the
number of homeless deaths equals the number of homeless people
taken off the street. You notice her reaction was, really,
I never heard that. That's not possible. He's the city
(20:21):
council president. And the math does work when you add
up her numbers, the number of people she claims is
taken off the streets, Yeah, it pretty much matches the
number of deaths. And we've talked about this in the
past because there's an average of like, you know, five
six people that die every day, and you multiply that
by three sixty five and the number is pretty close.
(20:45):
And the thing is, when I saw her do that,
she goes, really, I didn't know. That was the same
thing she pulled when talking to actually was Alex Michaelson
when he said that, you know there were warnings out
five days in advance. It's like, well, I didn't know
about that. Nobody told me. She has practiced this look
of shock, like, oh, well, yet no, nobody told me.
(21:07):
I didn't know there was those warnings. Oh I never
heard those numbers, and then she has that smile. Play
some Morember, Remember will be about about five, four to
five and six a day.
Speaker 5 (21:20):
The official reduction was fifteen hundred and fifty three. That
was the official numbers.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
Who lost his count?
Speaker 5 (21:26):
So if he do that simple laugh, he's wondering why
he not discussing the fact that much of this number
is actually a reduction a cousin overdose.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
But we have we have stay in their overdose tests.
Speaker 5 (21:44):
If we have five the day, that's over at thout
two thousand, two thousand years.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
And the reduction is fifteen fifty stop stop. So she
he's trying to explain to her how the math works.
She's pretending that she doesn't follow, and he said, well
how much of reduction? And is this really if we
have five debt? So play play it again? Play continue
playing it.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Rather and the reductions basically what you're saying, no progress
has been eight. That's that's her counting debt.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
And also, well you don't know what you understand about
that question.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
Reduction of the cant.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
Right stop stop now she's saying it's a reduction of encampments.
After he explains the maths several times. She goes, well,
it's a reduction of encampments, is what I'm talking about.
Continue absolutely if you're talking about almost population with down
fifteen and fifty three by the last count, right, and
they all know that.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
I mean, you said it two times, okay, but we
know that you said it.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
Two times, she says condescendingly.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
She turns with a sickly smile on her face.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
What what is?
Speaker 1 (22:59):
You have your respective? And I had mine?
Speaker 5 (23:01):
She said, sixty five?
Speaker 1 (23:05):
And that's about it. That's about two thousand a year.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
There's more take.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Then she notices then somebody is filming.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
Yeah, and.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
Then her staff comes in and rescues her and pulls
her away.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
She looked over her shoulder, realizes the whole exchangers on camera.
And then the staff came in. She must have given
a signal and pulled her out. See, she claimed, over
and over again. And it's Scott.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
What's it?
Speaker 2 (23:33):
Let me let me get his name here. You can
find this on x Scott A. Myers, just typing Scott
Myers and Karen Bess and you'll find the video and
just watch it. It's classic. Stands there staring and pretends
not to understand the math. And then well, you have
(23:55):
your your numbers and I had mine.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
No.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
What he says saying is okay, it's the same numbers.
The death numbers are the homeless numbers. The credit that
she's taking for removing homeless people off the street is
the same as the number of people who died, and
then she changes it to encampments. It's a total scam.
It's total nonsense. Not only is she not doing anything,
(24:22):
she doesn't care that she's not doing anything. She doesn't
care if they die. Nobody in the government cares if
these people die. She just lets you die. And then
the bulk of the money that they spend is on
trying to do permanent housing, because that's their philosophy. You
(24:46):
build permittent housing until then they can stay on their
drugs and their alcohol and all their insanity, you know,
no treatment, no mental health treatment, no drug treatment, no
alcohol treatment. Oh not until they get a home. And
and that's where a lot of the money goes. And
then they die. They never get to the home. They're
never going to get to the home because they can't
build anything because the money's getting stolen. Like those stories
(25:09):
about the developers and Chevy at Hills, those that are.
One of them was indicted, two of them are on
leave because millions of dollars just disappeared. Doesn't care more.
Speaker 4 (25:26):
Coming up, you're listening to John Cobbels on Demand from
KFI Am sixty.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
We're on every day from one until four o'clock and
shortly after four o'clock, like in just a few minutes,
you can hear the the podcast. It's the same as
the radio show. John Cobelt's Show on Demand and First Hour.
We spent a lot of time on my appearance last
night on CNN. Alex Michaelson has a new show called
The Story. Is runs every weeknight from nine to eleven,
(25:55):
and I was on with Arriva Martin. It was a
civil rights attorney, and we talked about Newsom begging for
money from Washington but nobody wanted to talk to him.
We got into that, we got into Jasmine Crockett that
not running for Senate was pretty good stuff, and we
talked at length because Arriva Martin did believe that Newsom
(26:18):
really admitted that, you know, twenty four billion in homeless
money has disappeared unaccounted for. I guess would be the
more accurate term, and I went through why that's absolutely true.
Did it on the show today? Couldn't do a chet
(26:39):
GPT search in the middle of the Alexis Show last night,
but chet GPT had nine sources that explained about the
twenty four billion that's missing. And let me tell you
this is vitally important because if people in Altadena and
the Palisades, you may be hoping that the federal government
(27:00):
bills you out in some way, and Newsom is going
to keep banging on that message, You're never going to
get the money. In the same way that when all
those celebrities stood on stage and raised one hundred million
dollars and promised it was going to go to the
people who suffered the loss of their homes, you didn't
get it. Where did it go? It got sucked up
(27:23):
by those nonprofits, didn't it. No homeowner in Altadena or
the Palisades got a check after they raised one hundred
million dollars. And then when they were called on it,
the organizer said, well, that was some of the celebrities
who said that. That was certainly the impression I had.
(27:46):
Maybe it's not legally binding, but wow. So what I'm
telling you is considering the history of Bass and Newsom.
Even if Trump, the Trump administration gives the money, and
I don't think that's happening anytime soon, You're still not
going to get the money. It's going to be stolen
because that's what they do. And you have to look
(28:08):
to the twenty four billion in homeless money that evaporated,
and then the thirty three billion dollars in unemployment money
during COVID. Most of that was taken by fraudsters overseas
seventeen billion dollars for high speed round. And let me
tell you what this whole thing of Newsom going to Washington,
(28:28):
d C. To begin with was. It was a stunt.
You don't just show up and say, hey, I'd like
a meeting with the head of FEMA or the director
of this or the head of this agency or that.
You don't do that. Your staff calls their staff weeks
in advance and say the governor is coming to Washington,
(28:48):
you know, the week of December seventh, and he'd like
to meet with the following people if you could make
some availability. Instead, he just shows up banging on every
door and they go get out of here. So we
got no time for a meeting with you. And they
even tried to say, well, if nobody from FEMA wants
(29:09):
to me, maybe somebody in another agency. No, nobody in
another agency. Well maybe an another date or other time. No, no,
no other date, no other time.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
Out.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
Yeah, that's the message. Get out. Why don't you explain
four things to explain? Where did the homeless money go?
Where did the high speed rail money go? Where did
the thirty two billion dollars in unemployment COVID money go? Oh?
Speaker 1 (29:39):
And why are you.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
Giving away thirty five billion dollars a year to illegal aliens?
And you don't have the same amount to do a
one time rebuild of the Palisades. You need about thirty
five billion to help rebuild the Palisades once. He's ends
thirty five billion every year on illegal aliens.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
Nearly all of.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
The Palisades residents, as far as I know, are here illegally,
are American citizens, most of them born in this country.
They're not first in line for the state tax money.
He's trying to get people in other state. This is
the thing people in other states have to pay for
the rebuild and out to Diana in the Palisades. Because
(30:32):
he gives away thirty five billion a year to foreigners
who are here illegally. How do you think that plays
once people find out about it? And then he blew
thirty three billion in unemployment money, but he wants another
(30:52):
thirty three billion or so to rebuild the Palisades.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
Well, let you let all that.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
Unemployment money just disappear. Why seventeen billion that would pay
for half of the Palisades Alta Dina rebuild seventeen billion?
Well that high speed rail and look at that. You
didn't even get half of a high speed rail. You
had a zero percent high speed rail out of that.
And then the homeless again, and that prices up to
(31:19):
thirty seven billion. So anyway, go to social media on
all the sites. We've got clips from last night where
I talk about this with Alex Michaelson and Areva Martin,
and then I talk about extensively some of these homeless
numbers in the first hour of the show on the podcast.
(31:41):
Final thing I just want to mention is Ron mom Donnie.
Earlier in the show, I talked about how he's hiring
armed He hired an armed robber to be on his
one of his transition teams before he becomes mayor. On
the Criminal Justice transition team guy was convicted twice of
(32:02):
armed robber. He spent seven years in prison. He put
out a video Zorroun Mamdani did, and it was not
again to American citizens, it was to illegal aliens, and
it was about how to evade ICE, how to stand
up to ICE agents and know your rights, claiming he's
the mayor of more than three million immigrants. There's legal
(32:26):
immigrants and illegal immigrants, but that's what they do. They've
been doing that for twenty years. And he went into
a story about ICE trying to raid the immigrant communities,
and he describes that ICE is legally allowed to lie
to you, but you have the right to remain silent.
You're allowed to film ICE as long as you don't
(32:48):
interfere with an arrest. New Yorkers have a constitutional right
to protest, and we'll protect that right. Out of the
three million immigrants, four hundred and twelve thousand illegal according
to the Mayor's office data. But he mixes in the
two point six million legal immigrants with the four hundred
(33:08):
thousand illegal immigrants to give you the impression that they're
all being oppressed and being chased. And that kind of
politics is embedded here. There's nothing that Zororn Mom Donnie
believes in that Gavin Newsom and Karen Bash doesn't believe in.
It's all the same, all right. Conway's next, See you tomorrow,
(33:32):
and we got Michael Krazer live in the KFI twenty
four our newsroom. Hey, you've been listening to the John
Cobalt Show podcast. You can always hear the show live
on KFI Am six forty from one to four pm
every Monday through Friday, and of course, anytime on demand
on the iHeartRadio app.
Can't. I am six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
You're listening to the John Cobel podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
We're on every day from one until four after four o'clock.
John Cobelt's show on demand and Yes, the latest is
according to New York Post that Gavin Newsom's hair did
not burst into flames during the fire and ember landed
on his head and a fire official swept it off
(00:25):
his head. But it did not burst into flames. Okay,
but we're still on that story and we're looking for
any updates. He said it's on video. His office produced
a video, but it was not a video of his
hair bursting into flames. There was no wall of fire
(00:46):
coming out of his head. Now we're going to talk
to pallisag's resident named Michael Currith. Michael is a has
lost his home, but he's become an expert witness in
the legal case. He has a website called fire rebuild
dot com on a list of facts on what happened,
(01:08):
other detailed information. You could look at a fireybuild dot com.
Let's get him on here. Michael, How are you good?
Speaker 3 (01:19):
How are you John?
Speaker 2 (01:20):
It's good to have you on and I'm sorry about
all the loss you suffered with your home. Can you
briefly describe what your experience was the day of the fire.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
I think I need to actually go before that. So
we actually lost our home in a twenty eighteen woolseyfire,
and that is what initiated Thefirerebuilt dot com. It's after
six years of dealing with the City of Malibu through
departmenting process, we were signed off in twenty twenty two.
We had signed off from the fire Department the City
(01:52):
of Malibu where you can make all that assets to
come back and started or to process again. So then
after that it was twenty twentive or twenty twenty four
came towards the end of the year and the fire
department told us that we would never be allowed to
rebuild the homes. So we moved to the Palasades and
(02:13):
three months later is when the Palasads fire happened. So
fire Rebuilders actually initiated back then to help inform people,
to help let them know what they may be going
through in the fire rebuild process so that they can
make the informed decision whether to just sell their land
and move on or to go through the permitting and
rebuilding process.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
So what happened to your second home in the Palisades
had survived?
Speaker 3 (02:38):
No, we lost that one.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
You lost that you had two homes, You lost two homes.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
Yes, and exactly so the fire rebuilt site. I transitioned
that from a way to help and inform people over
to more of a documentation of what happened that day,
what has happened since, and it took off. I got lucky.
Rick Caruso shared my wind and weather report that I
(03:05):
put out, the Unprecedented Failure not unprecedented conditions report, and
it was kind of started from that. The day of
the fire, I didn't feel any winds. I knew there
were no winds. My wife and I we fought, and
I because we didn't take anything. We didn't. We thought
because we lived next to an elementary school, a church,
(03:29):
and the Palastage village, that we will be fine. They
will never let an entire community burns. So I thought
we didn't have to really take anything. And that was
our biggest regret is that we put a lot of
faith in that anyone could do their job that day,
and no one did.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Nobody, nobody. I've watched two documentaries on the fire, just
in the last few days, and it seems to be
obvious that nobody showed up. There was no preparation beforehand,
there was no execution in fighting the fire, and now
after the fire, there is nobody helping people rebuild and
(04:06):
navigate the whole stupid process.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
And that's why I reached out to you, honestly. It's
I heard your report on I know the documentary are
talking about from Rob. I watched that, but that just
covers a small piece of what really happened that day.
So I really do appreciate how you were coming forward
and covering the disaster that had happened and that we're
still going through because a lot of the media isn't
(04:31):
and what Rob's film, the documentary was covering, they did
stand down. It wasn't just the Lockman fire where they
were ordered to stand down and let it burn that
everyone's talking about. It was the day of the fire,
between three and four pm the fire department was given
(04:51):
in order to stand down and just let it burn out.
And that's I think what his documentary is covering, and
it's we have not had any needs support from anyone.
They're still refusing to acknowledge that anything really happened to us,
and they're lying about it. I mean, the main difference,
and I wanted to cover this, I don't. I don't
want to talk over or cut you off or anything.
(05:13):
But the main difference that people outside of California needs
to really understand is that what we went through was
completely different from they eat and fire. It's different than
the fire in Hawaii. It's different from any disaster in
history and the state of California. That's why I'm saying
it's the worst unnatural disaster in the state of California.
(05:33):
And the reason for that is the blame when Sokala
it's in for the Wolvesy fire. Yes, it was painful
for a lot of people, but if you did follow
the lawsuit, you were made whole. They didn't fall. The
major problem that we're having right now is all of California.
And it's not just Gavenusom, it's the mayor, it's even
(05:57):
our senators. We don't even have senates here. We have
to get people from outside of our state to help us.
That they haven't admitted fault, and people need to understand
that that we're in a really terrible situation, not just
because of the fire, but because nobody is taking accountability
or a knitting what happens.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Nobody. It's it's bizarre because you do have the state
with responsibility, the City of the La Fire Department, the
Department of Water and Services, you know, just for starters here,
and there isn't one person that I've seen from any
of these agencies, anybody in government who's talked honestly about
(06:39):
what went on and why nobody They either don't talk
or they just give you cliches and platitudes and promises
for an investigation somewhere down the road. But mostly it's
it's just a blackout of information. It's it's stonewalling all around.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
I completely agree, and I really, like I said, I
really appreciate that your covering it. And it's the weirdest
thing to me is my background is in saltware engineering technology.
I just want to make it clearer or to anyone
listening that fire Rebuild is in no way for profit
taking donations, ads or anything. Is My background is just
(07:17):
to help people. I have a technical background. I'm not
a builder. I don't know any of that really. But
it's the weirdest thing to me is that if somebody
starts throwing out numbers. I see that is the defendent
of the fact that there should be evidence to back
Do's numbers. And the day of the fire, everyone in
the media kept saying hurricane force winds, hundred mile hour
(07:40):
winds huntred male hour are gust and there's no record
of that. Like part of me being an expert witness
in the case, why I was approached is I went
through all fifty six weather stations surrounding the fire in
Los Angeles County and none of them recorded anything close
to that.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
What about the winds in the palisade specifically on that day.
What's the best estimate of the wind speed?
Speaker 3 (08:08):
So when I give these numbers, I need to preface it.
So I'm talking from ten am to four pm. What
the four pm period is when they stood down and
they said, let's just say fact, we're not doing anything.
The fire department gave up. So between that times frame
you have to also consider the distance in the elevation.
(08:30):
So in terms of distance from the fire origin, it's
a weather station and Pacific Palisade is about two point
two miles from the fire origin, and that recorded about
five miles per an hour sustained wind average speed, and
that was at twelve twenty nine PM five spot five
miles per hour. And the reason why I'm using average
(08:51):
sustained wind speed I'll backtrack on this is they're using
hurricane force wins. So the definition of a hurricane force
wind is an average sustained wind speed, and so it
doesn't mean like the mac speed of that period or
wind gust that's excluded. So if we're talking purely wind
speed average, it was five miles per hour. Was the
(09:14):
closest weather station in elevation. The one that was closest
in elevation to the fire origin was only eight miles
per hour. So it's I mean, even if you take
the overall sum the maximum wind speed in the area
of the Palisades, it was thirty one miles per hour.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
That was the highest wind speed, the highest gust in
thirty one according to all the records you could find.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
Speed all in Pacific pali Stades. Now, there is one
weather station that they all keep pointing to. It's only
one out of fifty fifty six, and that's they call
it the sixty nine Bravo. It's owned by the Los
Angeles County Fire Department. There was a helicopter pad up there,
and that is double in elevation above where the fire
(10:06):
origin is, and it's five times in elevation above Pacific Palisades,
the Palisades Village area. And that one during the time
of the fire, that one only recorded about thirty to
forty is the average wind speed during the ten am
to four pm, the containable period of the fire. The
(10:29):
maximum throughout the day was not one hundred miles per
hour winds or guts, and it never even recorded hurricane
force winds. So the entire thing of that is false.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
I'm sorry, hang on because I need to do the
news here and we're going to come back and continue.
All right, all right, we got Michael Michael Krathon. He's
a Palisades resident. Fire rebuild dot Com is the website.
He's actually lost two homes to fire here in southern
California where in the wolvesy fire moved to the Palace
and that one burned down as well.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Boys line eight seven seven moist eighty six for Friday
eight seven seven moist eighty six. You use the talkback
feature on the iHeartRadio app. We continue now with Michael Kurrath,
Palisades resident who lost his home in the fire. He's
got a website called fire Rebuild dot com, and we
were talking about how he looked at fifty six wind
(11:31):
stations in the Palisades area and none of them had
anything recorded anywhere near one hundred miles an hour wind
speed hurricane force wind speed, which would be over seventy
four miles an hour during that period between ten and
four o'clock when the LA Fire Department was still fighting
the fire and then they stood down. We're gonna play,
(11:52):
Michael just for a little five second clip of Gavin
Newsom speaking recently. He was talking about trying to get
money out of Washington, and I'll remind people, in the
middle of winter, we had one hundred mile on our
winds attached to a fire. So there you go, Newsome.
This this that clip is from the past week. One
(12:13):
hundred mile and Horawinsy claims, Michael, you there, Yes.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
I'm here, can you hear me?
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (12:21):
Okay, So online a lot of people are kind of
reiterating the same thing, and it seems to be a
common excuse. Again they when it's all happened. Everyone we
talked to that was in the area then it then't
witnessed that, and the reports that I research couldn't validate
any of that, so we knew they were covering up
(12:42):
something or lying about something. And my response on that
when people say that or they reiterate that false narrative
is can you provide the daytime weather station that recorded
those wins? And so far nobody's been able to do so.
I mean, I encourage your listen. They can reach out
to me on the site if they find a record
(13:03):
of one mile per our win on that day. Actually
in California, there's no one hundred miles for our wins
that were recorded anywhere in California that day. And I
know because I downloaded the sixteen terabytes of whether and
climate data to disprove the unprecedented conditions of the day.
So I have a lot of data on this and
(13:25):
I can disprove any of those false claims if anyone
wants to bring them forward.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
This must be making you insane to hear them constantly
repeat this, not only Newsome but other politicians, everybody in
the media.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
I think the thing that's making us insane is the
simple fact of people should be very concerned. And I
know the latest thing that came out of let it
burn the state park thing. I guess it's in the
manual that they don't put out fires for some reason. Yeah,
the plants are more important than the people.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
Milk plant is going.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
To burn anyway, I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
The milk vetch plant. Apparently that's the most important plant
in human.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
History, more important than people. But the point that I
was trying to make is if you really look at
the state park surrounding the area, Brentwood has two will
Rogers State Park and another. I believe Calabasas has a
few as well. Malibu has five. So the area of concern.
(14:30):
If people that live in Brentwood, Calabasas should be very concerned,
they should be reaching out now to the state parks
to get a copy of the manual and see are
they going to let my home burn? Because it's not
a matter of it, it's a matter of when and
the when kind of period that I'm seeing with this
current legislation and everybody in power right now, it seems
(14:51):
to be a five year cycle. Like wolvesey fire hapened,
everybody forgets and they move on. Then it's Palistate's fire.
The fire art has to get their rewards and make
everybody proud. So they're going to do their job, and
homes are going to be saved within these next two
or three years. But then they're going to start to
weaken again. People are going to forget, they don't care.
(15:14):
I saw it with the Wolsey fire. It's the first
year people cared. They're very sympathetic, they're all there to
help you. But then as the years start to go on,
people start to forget and they start to they don't care.
So it is going to happen. And I really do
encourage Brent Wood in Calabasa's the residents there. Everybody knows
(15:39):
that Malibu is surrounded by five five state parks, So
if you want to find out if your home is
actually in danger, just reach out to that. And the
reason why I'm saying in danger is because fifty six
percent of residential areas in California are equal or greater
fire risk of Pacific Pali states. And that's based on
(16:02):
the climate data throughout history back from nineteen seventy nine
to current, the weather reports, the indexes they use, these
metrics or a call like a burning and I just
have to interrupt you call it.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
I only have a minute here, and I do want
to talk with you again soon. Okay. But they don't
clear the brush in these state parks. They just don't.
I saw a woman in one documentary say that the
brush was probably ten feet high near her house and
it was on state park land. So all the instruction
they're constantly giving all of us homeowners they don't do
(16:40):
at all.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
Oh no, I completely understand. There's an entire list of
things that I could go over with you. It'll take
like ten days to go through it all. But there's
so many contradictions. It's where we're going to pull the
home part into defensible states zero or zone zero whatever,
and then but they don't do anything. They are not
even taken in accountability. They're not even saying we're sorry
(17:06):
that it's happened. How can we help you, Like if
we had anyone in power that said, hey, I'm sorry
this happened, how can we help you get through this
or we messed up?
Speaker 2 (17:16):
Okay, lines Michael, We're gonna talk again soon and we'll
go through some other issues.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
Okay, Okay, thank you for your time.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
Thank you for coming on Michael Kurth because I'm gonna
stay on this. I know that this is a far
bigger scandal than anybody can even imagine. You could just
tell by the way they've shut down in stonewalled and lied.
Speaker 4 (17:40):
You're listening to John cobelts on demand from KFI Am
six forty.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
We're on every day from one and til four o'clock,
and then after four o'clock John Cobelt's show on demand
on the iHeart app. You can subscribe on YouTube YouTube
dot com slash at John Cobelt's show and look at
all the longer segment videos we've been posting YouTube dot
com at John Cobelt's Show. And finally you go on
the social media platforms and you will find the segments
(18:06):
and that I did with Alex Michaelson last night on
The Story is on CNN. He's got a new show
every weeknight from nine to eleven, and I debated civil
rights attorney named Areva Martin on Newsome whining about Trump
or Trump's administration, the whole administration not meeting with him.
(18:28):
Nobody from FEMA, nobody from any department wanted to talk
to him because he's trying to get money. We also
talked about Jasmine Crockett as well, running for senate. Now
I'm going to play you a clip here, and this
is Mayor bass Is tiptoeing out in public again. Maybe
(18:49):
she thinks the shame that she's been suffering from for
abandoning LA and defunding the fire department is fading. And
so she showed up Sunday in Sherman, oh and a
person named Scott Myers confronted her about the number of
homeless deaths. What he figured out is the number of
(19:10):
homeless deaths. If you add him up, uh, it roughly
equals the number of homeless people that she claims have
been taken off the streets. Now, the audio is a
little low, and I'm going to read you like a
transcript at times, but I want you first to get
the sense that this really happened. And I can tell
you her body language in this. She couldn't wait to
(19:30):
get out of there, and she kept that weird, sickly
frozen smile on her face and really didn't offer much
in the way of resistance to his his claims. So
play the clip here.
Speaker 5 (19:46):
A question I asked him Sarah's duction.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
She did out about Okay, stop right there, because that's
an important part he's saying this. The city council president
in La mar Case, Harris Dawson, has said that the
number of homeless deaths equals the number of homeless people
taken off the street. You notice her reaction was, really,
I never heard that. That's not possible. He's the city
(20:21):
council president. And the math does work when you add
up her numbers, the number of people she claims is
taken off the streets, Yeah, it pretty much matches the
number of deaths. And we've talked about this in the
past because there's an average of like, you know, five
six people that die every day, and you multiply that
by three sixty five and the number is pretty close.
(20:45):
And the thing is, when I saw her do that,
she goes, really, I didn't know. That was the same
thing she pulled when talking to actually was Alex Michaelson
when he said that, you know there were warnings out
five days in advance. It's like, well, I didn't know
about that. Nobody told me. She has practiced this look
of shock, like, oh, well, yet no, nobody told me.
(21:07):
I didn't know there was those warnings. Oh I never
heard those numbers, and then she has that smile. Play
some Morember, Remember will be about about five, four to
five and six a day.
Speaker 5 (21:20):
The official reduction was fifteen hundred and fifty three. That
was the official numbers.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
Who lost his count?
Speaker 5 (21:26):
So if he do that simple laugh, he's wondering why
he not discussing the fact that much of this number
is actually a reduction a cousin overdose.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
But we have we have stay in their overdose tests.
Speaker 5 (21:44):
If we have five the day, that's over at thout
two thousand, two thousand years.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
And the reduction is fifteen fifty stop stop. So she
he's trying to explain to her how the math works.
She's pretending that she doesn't follow, and he said, well
how much of reduction? And is this really if we
have five debt? So play play it again? Play continue
playing it.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Rather and the reductions basically what you're saying, no progress
has been eight. That's that's her counting debt.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
And also, well you don't know what you understand about
that question.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
Reduction of the cant.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
Right stop stop now she's saying it's a reduction of encampments.
After he explains the maths several times. She goes, well,
it's a reduction of encampments, is what I'm talking about.
Continue absolutely if you're talking about almost population with down
fifteen and fifty three by the last count, right, and
they all know that.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
I mean, you said it two times, okay, but we
know that you said it.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
Two times, she says condescendingly.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
She turns with a sickly smile on her face.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
What what is?
Speaker 1 (22:59):
You have your respective? And I had mine?
Speaker 5 (23:01):
She said, sixty five?
Speaker 1 (23:05):
And that's about it. That's about two thousand a year.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
There's more take.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Then she notices then somebody is filming.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
Yeah, and.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
Then her staff comes in and rescues her and pulls
her away.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
She looked over her shoulder, realizes the whole exchangers on camera.
And then the staff came in. She must have given
a signal and pulled her out. See, she claimed, over
and over again. And it's Scott.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
What's it?
Speaker 2 (23:33):
Let me let me get his name here. You can
find this on x Scott A. Myers, just typing Scott
Myers and Karen Bess and you'll find the video and
just watch it. It's classic. Stands there staring and pretends
not to understand the math. And then well, you have
(23:55):
your your numbers and I had mine.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
No.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
What he says saying is okay, it's the same numbers.
The death numbers are the homeless numbers. The credit that
she's taking for removing homeless people off the street is
the same as the number of people who died, and
then she changes it to encampments. It's a total scam.
It's total nonsense. Not only is she not doing anything,
(24:22):
she doesn't care that she's not doing anything. She doesn't
care if they die. Nobody in the government cares if
these people die. She just lets you die. And then
the bulk of the money that they spend is on
trying to do permanent housing, because that's their philosophy. You
(24:46):
build permittent housing until then they can stay on their
drugs and their alcohol and all their insanity, you know,
no treatment, no mental health treatment, no drug treatment, no
alcohol treatment. Oh not until they get a home. And
and that's where a lot of the money goes. And
then they die. They never get to the home. They're
never going to get to the home because they can't
build anything because the money's getting stolen. Like those stories
(25:09):
about the developers and Chevy at Hills, those that are.
One of them was indicted, two of them are on
leave because millions of dollars just disappeared. Doesn't care more.
Speaker 4 (25:26):
Coming up, you're listening to John Cobbels on Demand from
KFI Am sixty.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
We're on every day from one until four o'clock and
shortly after four o'clock, like in just a few minutes,
you can hear the the podcast. It's the same as
the radio show. John Cobelt's Show on Demand and First Hour.
We spent a lot of time on my appearance last
night on CNN. Alex Michaelson has a new show called
The Story. Is runs every weeknight from nine to eleven,
(25:55):
and I was on with Arriva Martin. It was a
civil rights attorney, and we talked about Newsom begging for
money from Washington but nobody wanted to talk to him.
We got into that, we got into Jasmine Crockett that
not running for Senate was pretty good stuff, and we
talked at length because Arriva Martin did believe that Newsom
(26:18):
really admitted that, you know, twenty four billion in homeless
money has disappeared unaccounted for. I guess would be the
more accurate term, and I went through why that's absolutely true.
Did it on the show today? Couldn't do a chet
(26:39):
GPT search in the middle of the Alexis Show last night,
but chet GPT had nine sources that explained about the
twenty four billion that's missing. And let me tell you
this is vitally important because if people in Altadena and
the Palisades, you may be hoping that the federal government
(27:00):
bills you out in some way, and Newsom is going
to keep banging on that message, You're never going to
get the money. In the same way that when all
those celebrities stood on stage and raised one hundred million
dollars and promised it was going to go to the
people who suffered the loss of their homes, you didn't
get it. Where did it go? It got sucked up
(27:23):
by those nonprofits, didn't it. No homeowner in Altadena or
the Palisades got a check after they raised one hundred
million dollars. And then when they were called on it,
the organizer said, well, that was some of the celebrities
who said that. That was certainly the impression I had.
(27:46):
Maybe it's not legally binding, but wow. So what I'm
telling you is considering the history of Bass and Newsom.
Even if Trump, the Trump administration gives the money, and
I don't think that's happening anytime soon, You're still not
going to get the money. It's going to be stolen
because that's what they do. And you have to look
(28:08):
to the twenty four billion in homeless money that evaporated,
and then the thirty three billion dollars in unemployment money
during COVID. Most of that was taken by fraudsters overseas
seventeen billion dollars for high speed round. And let me
tell you what this whole thing of Newsom going to Washington,
(28:28):
d C. To begin with was. It was a stunt.
You don't just show up and say, hey, I'd like
a meeting with the head of FEMA or the director
of this or the head of this agency or that.
You don't do that. Your staff calls their staff weeks
in advance and say the governor is coming to Washington,
(28:48):
you know, the week of December seventh, and he'd like
to meet with the following people if you could make
some availability. Instead, he just shows up banging on every
door and they go get out of here. So we
got no time for a meeting with you. And they
even tried to say, well, if nobody from FEMA wants
(29:09):
to me, maybe somebody in another agency. No, nobody in
another agency. Well maybe an another date or other time. No, no,
no other date, no other time.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
Out.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
Yeah, that's the message. Get out. Why don't you explain
four things to explain? Where did the homeless money go?
Where did the high speed rail money go? Where did
the thirty two billion dollars in unemployment COVID money go? Oh?
Speaker 1 (29:39):
And why are you.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
Giving away thirty five billion dollars a year to illegal aliens?
And you don't have the same amount to do a
one time rebuild of the Palisades. You need about thirty
five billion to help rebuild the Palisades once. He's ends
thirty five billion every year on illegal aliens.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
Nearly all of.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
The Palisades residents, as far as I know, are here illegally,
are American citizens, most of them born in this country.
They're not first in line for the state tax money.
He's trying to get people in other state. This is
the thing people in other states have to pay for
the rebuild and out to Diana in the Palisades. Because
(30:32):
he gives away thirty five billion a year to foreigners
who are here illegally. How do you think that plays
once people find out about it? And then he blew
thirty three billion in unemployment money, but he wants another
(30:52):
thirty three billion or so to rebuild the Palisades.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
Well, let you let all that.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
Unemployment money just disappear. Why seventeen billion that would pay
for half of the Palisades Alta Dina rebuild seventeen billion?
Well that high speed rail and look at that. You
didn't even get half of a high speed rail. You
had a zero percent high speed rail out of that.
And then the homeless again, and that prices up to
(31:19):
thirty seven billion. So anyway, go to social media on
all the sites. We've got clips from last night where
I talk about this with Alex Michaelson and Areva Martin,
and then I talk about extensively some of these homeless
numbers in the first hour of the show on the podcast.
(31:41):
Final thing I just want to mention is Ron mom Donnie.
Earlier in the show, I talked about how he's hiring
armed He hired an armed robber to be on his
one of his transition teams before he becomes mayor. On
the Criminal Justice transition team guy was convicted twice of
(32:02):
armed robber. He spent seven years in prison. He put
out a video Zorroun Mamdani did, and it was not
again to American citizens, it was to illegal aliens, and
it was about how to evade ICE, how to stand
up to ICE agents and know your rights, claiming he's
the mayor of more than three million immigrants. There's legal
(32:26):
immigrants and illegal immigrants, but that's what they do. They've
been doing that for twenty years. And he went into
a story about ICE trying to raid the immigrant communities,
and he describes that ICE is legally allowed to lie
to you, but you have the right to remain silent.
You're allowed to film ICE as long as you don't
(32:48):
interfere with an arrest. New Yorkers have a constitutional right
to protest, and we'll protect that right. Out of the
three million immigrants, four hundred and twelve thousand illegal according
to the Mayor's office data. But he mixes in the
two point six million legal immigrants with the four hundred
(33:08):
thousand illegal immigrants to give you the impression that they're
all being oppressed and being chased. And that kind of
politics is embedded here. There's nothing that Zororn Mom Donnie
believes in that Gavin Newsom and Karen Bash doesn't believe in.
It's all the same, all right. Conway's next, See you tomorrow,
(33:32):
and we got Michael Krazer live in the KFI twenty
four our newsroom. Hey, you've been listening to the John
Cobalt Show podcast. You can always hear the show live
on KFI Am six forty from one to four pm
every Monday through Friday, and of course, anytime on demand
