Speaker 2 (00:40):
Oh the podcast?
Speaker 1 (00:41):
If you miss everything or miss too much of it,
you go to a podcast at six John Cobelt Show
on demand on the iHeart app. All right, so it's
obviously very hot. It's about ninety three degrees. I went
to an in and outline on the way in. I
was pressed for time, and I thought this was going
to save time getting lunch.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
It did not.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
I don't understand why you would think that going into
a line, a drive through it, in and out would
save any kind of time.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
It's always pat.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
I think the heat addled my brain, is what it was.
And I was exceptionally lazy. I didn't want to get
out of my car that I get And as it
turns out, there were a lot of other people who
didn't want to get out of their car. And that's
what I didn't factor in. I thought I was going
to be the only person who was going to beat
the heat and get in line and get get a
quick order. But I really felt for the guy who
(01:34):
was standing out there to take orders. There are times
they pull those those those workers in because it's too much.
I don't know what the cutoff temperature is, maybe it's
a hundred. But this guy was dying out there. He
was wilting, withering away.
Speaker 4 (01:47):
You know it's gonna be hotter tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Yeah, I know, poor guy.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
You know, he looked like he a young guy, summer
job type thing in between school semesters. And I had
one job, only one job like that was not media.
When I was sixteen and I was I was a
bus boy. You were oh, yeah, I was my aunt's restaurant. Well,
(02:13):
she didn't own the restaurant, she worked there, but she
got me a job as a bus boy and it
lasted two days.
Speaker 4 (02:19):
Oh, I was going to stay one day?
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Well, I you know, I signed up for Saturday and Sunday,
just to see how it would go. It was right
as school was starting my senior year in high school,
and oh my god, was that a disaster. It was embarrassing.
I was embarrassed for my aunt because she brought me in.
I was embarised for the manager who had done her,
(02:42):
you know, a favor.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
I was atrocious, hotey. Everything that you could do wrong
as a bus boy, I did wrong.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
Like what an example.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
I was constantly dropping things. Yeah, I'm dropping plates. They're
smashing all over the place. There was huge tubs where
you're supposed to put the dirty plates in. I would
drop the tub. I would have a whole tub full
of plates.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Shacker. I was really no good.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Why are you? And this could have been this really
could have been like a slapstick comedy from the nineteen thirties.
I was like some old Jerry Lewis movie. I was
just absolutely incompetent. And then I'd go into the kitchen.
They finally directed me into the kitchen, and I was
(03:32):
just overwhelmed by two things. First of all, the smell
I knew it, Oh god, the smell of old food.
And this cleanser that they used on everything, you know,
to scrub out the sinks and the counters and all that.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
I went in there and I was threw up right away.
And then everybody in the kitchen didn't speak English. They
were all from Puerto Rico, and they're nice. But I
couldn't talk to anybody. I didn't know what to do.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
You being mean to them?
Speaker 1 (04:01):
No, no, I I was very nice they but I
was in their way. I clearly what was I gonna do.
I didn't want to touch the dishes. I guess I
was supposed to wash. It's like, this is people's foods
on these. I can't do this.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
This is foul.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
What did you think, a bus boy, What did you
think that job entailed when you took the Saturday Sunday?
Speaker 2 (04:22):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
I thought maybe I could like wander around in the
background and look like I was working.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
But you're not a lazy guy.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
I am not a lazy guy. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
I felt obligated. My aunt had got it. My parents
were saying, you should got a job. Okay, all right,
I got a job. She goes, oh, I got you
one at the restaurant. So I go to the restaurant,
I you know, I knew the place. I knew of
a couple of the people there. My aunt had worked
there a long time, so I thought, all right, this
would be kind of pleasant. I guess I'm supposed to
do this, right. I'm sixteen, hotly geez, and it was
(04:54):
two fifty an hour, and I think, by, you know,
that's why when I hear people claiming, you know, the
minimum waite there's only twenty dollars, yeah, f and you okay,
oh god. But I'll never into this day if if
I'm like behind a restaurant in the parking lot and
they got their kitchen door open, or there's some exhaust
thing and I smell the combination of old food and cleanser.
(05:15):
To this day, I flash back to that and I
just want to wretch. The good thing is one week later,
through a contact at school, I got offered a like
a part time job at a newspaper.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
So that yes, that's right.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
It was like just five days later, and that was
like the luckiest moment of my life, because I realized,
I can't do this ever, I've got to be successful
at something.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
This is not gonna work for me.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
Well, you can't even change a light bulb.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
I know, I can't change a light bulb. I cannot
do anything with my hands, well, a couple of things.
But you don't get paid for that.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Uh all right now, not if it's only fans, that's true.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
But only now has that become a marketable skill that
wasn't around when I was sixteen. Another fortune I missed
out of. I want to go home already. Yeah, he
took me down a dark word. I did what was
like the worst job you ever had. Oh you were
(06:23):
in paradise.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
No, no, they weren't the shoes high like, oh you
know what, I have to old man shoes.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
I have to help people. I have to put people's
feet in the shoes. You know, I'd have to smell.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
I mean, yuck. That's the only thing worse than touching
people's old food.
Speaker 4 (06:40):
But I was not commissioned, so I was pretty motivated.
But yeah, that wasn't fun.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
No, that's saying now that for me, it'd be a
level down.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
But you know, I yes, but you know what, John,
I did what I had to do to make ends meet.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
All right, all right?
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Yeah, uh here you are a little more driven and
persistent than I am. Yes, I'm willing to give them quickly,
uh when we come back, you know. Uh, the the
communists that have taken over are our city, our county,
and our state are really hell bent on driving out
a lot of good, high paying jobs in the movie industry.
(07:18):
And they're they're they're actually, it seems, willing to drive
out uh Paramount which is trying to merge with Newsom.
And between the governor who is apparently uh cut their
tax brakes shockingly, the attorney general who's suing to block
(07:40):
the Paramount Warner Brothers merger, and now the communist LA
County Supervisor Lindsay Horvath. She wants La County to uh
back this lawsuit.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Challenging the merger.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
What what's really funny is is Lindsay Horrorvath represents the
West side of Los Angeles, where a lot of entertain
when people live, and the person they voted for in
Horvath overwhelmingly is now trying to block this merger. And
if she succeeds in blocking this merger, Paramount has threatened
(08:13):
to move out of the state. And I think they're serious,
And so I don't know what kind of weird game
of chicken this is, but we'll talk about it when
we come back.
Speaker 5 (08:25):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
The incredible stupidity virtually everybody who is in office in
this state is just astounding. Often when two companies decide
to merge, it's because one of those companies is struggling,
sometimes both of them, and you merge, yes to cut
costs because now you have many departments that are duplicated
(08:55):
and you streamline them into one department. We've this, we've
lived this in the radio industry for about thirty years now,
because there's plenty of well there's plenty of radio stations
that simply didn't make money, and so you merge stations together,
and now you only have maybe one sales staff and
(09:17):
one staff when it comes to placing the commercials, Matt
managing the on air people managing the music. You just
and that's and that's why radio companies have merged, because
a lot of them no profit. There are too many
radio stations actually in a lot of places. Well, it's
(09:40):
happened now to the movie industry and the TV industry
because now there are so many choices, all the choices
that maybe we grew up with Plus all the streaming
companies which are now getting a lion share of the viewership.
I think more than half of all the viewers are
watching streaming services. You YouTube, for example, I think is
(10:02):
usually the number one or the number two service in
the country, and and YouTube has, of course, I think
billions of choices there, so that you know, everybody knows
that the whole world is different, and it's the entertainment
industry is never going to be the same. It can't
(10:25):
survive that way. So a rational person does not have
a heart attack. Because Paramount actually it's known as Paramount
sky Dance that itself is a merger, is going to
take over Warner Brothers Discovery, another old merger. Okay, so
I don't know the Paramount Skydance, Warner Brothers Discovery. It's
all gonna be one big company. So they're gonna they're
(10:48):
gonna own two movie studios there, Paramount and Warner Brothers
two well, CBS Network and CBS News along with CNN News,
HBO Max streaming services along with the Paramount streaming service,
Paramount Plus. So there's gonna be a lot of consolidation.
There will be some loss of jobs, but I don't
(11:10):
know if you've noticed, but there are you know, I
read THEBA for example, I read what the ratings were
for local newscasts in Cincinnati. Do you know the local
newscasts are down between fifty and seventy five percent in
the ratings in Cincinnati. And that is true in a
lot of cities in this country. It's true here in
(11:31):
LA you lose fifty to seventy percent of your audience.
You have lost a lot of revenue, and the remaining
audience is sixty five plus. And nothing wrong with that demographic.
We certainly have our share, but it's advertisers find older
people less desirable because older people are less swayed by commercials.
(11:57):
By the time you get old enough, you've seen and
heard it all.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
But that's true, But don't they have more They have
more money, they.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Have more disposable income. So you have to work harder
and you have to find different kinds of advertising something
that that crowd, because yeah, they're they're they're the wealthiest group.
There's also like a lot of stupid sales attitudes in
the media business.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Yes, where they could be making.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
More money with certain demos, but it's kind of easier
Lazier to call them undesirable and go after uh low
hanging fruit. Anyway, Rob Bonte is along with some other
attorney generals, all from Democratic states almost all, and and
they want to block the merger. Why why is it
(12:44):
his business? He's just this corrupt, sleazy politician. Isn't there
anything about the movie industry or the TV industry? Well
he's he's trying to block the merger. And now Lindsey Horvath,
who's uh, the communist La County supervisor who represents so
(13:04):
many people on the West Side who work in the
entertainment industry. Now she's claiming this is going to cost
some local jobs. So she's like the hero she thinks
for these people.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Do you remember what.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Happened with Spirit Airlines just a few weeks ago. Spirit
wanted to merge with I think it was Jeck Blue
and all the left wing anti business communists in the
Senate like Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren protested this and
(13:38):
eventually the merger was blocked.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
So you know what happened. Spirit went out of business.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
Spirit was too weak to stand on its own, and
everybody that worked for Spirit was unemployed. Everybody when there's
a proposed merger. Often not always, but often it's a
weaker company looking to blend in with a stronger company,
and the stronger company after it does. Some cutting can
(14:08):
carry the load for both and most people will keep
their jobs. Some won't, but that's the nature of the world.
Nobody's guaranteed a job at the same company for the
rest of their lives. So that went out about fifty
years ago. But Rivath and Bonta are trying to block
this merger. And David Ellison is the guy who runs
(14:33):
Paramount and his advisors, You're saying, why don't we get
out of California, Why don't we join all the other
companies that have moved out and set up in Florida
or Texas. Now I'm from Jersey, and I know that
in Jersey the entertainment industry is blossoming like you wouldn't believe.
(14:56):
There is a there's an old military base in northern
Jersey or north central Jersey called Fort Monmouth, and it's
no longer a military base. Netflix has moved in there
and they've built about a dozen sound stages and they're
going to employ thousands of people in New Jersey. And
that's not the only company that's relocating the Jersey and
(15:20):
you know, they've relocated to Georgia for years. They're now
companies moving out of Georgia into Jersey and other states.
There's a lot of production being done in England and Ireland.
There's a game show I heard this podcast, Rob Low
hosts a game show in Ireland. They tape all the episodes.
I think it was supposed to originally be done on
(15:42):
the Fox lot here in LA. And he said, believe
it or not, that it was cheaper to fly everybody
and tape all the episodes in Ireland, that it was
to go down the lot from one side to the other.
(16:02):
That's crazy because it the business climate here is so horrific,
among other things that are horrific. And so now you
have you have game American game shows being produced in
Ireland by a company that's here in LA. But do
we get on their own lot where they already own everything, right,
(16:22):
that's what's amazing. They already own everything there. So Horvath
has got her head in the same place that Karen
Bass has her head, and Bonta and Newsom. They have
no idea about the real world because none of these
people have ever worked in business. They don't sit down
and talk to these business people. They have all their outdated,
(16:44):
stereotypical hatred and bad attitudes towards business. So if if
Paramount Warner Brothers moves out there, weren't they're warning you now,
and before you say, oh, that's not going to happen.
It's like, you know, might go talk to the people
(17:05):
at SPIRIT. Sometimes it's easier just to shut down. It's
cheaper to shut down than it is to keep taking
losses or putting up with government interference.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
So you want to take that risk. Uh, it's not
your business anyway.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Just because a company incorporates in one state or one
city does not mean they have to continue doing business
for the rest of everybody's life. No city, no state,
no country is entitled to hold on to all the
businesses that already exist. The businesses in a free country
can pack up and move wherever they want when the
business climate and other matters become inhospitable. But Horvath is
(17:46):
just a stupid communist. But you know what, a lot
of the moving and TV employees elected her.
Speaker 5 (17:54):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
If I am six forty more stimulating talk radio John
Cobalt Show. We are on every day from three to
six after six o'clock John Cobelt Show on demand on
the iHeart app moistline is eight seven seven Moist st
eaighty six eight seven seven Moist eighty six. Or use
the talkback feature on the iHeartRadio app for Friday and
you can watch us on YouTube right now. Hi, there
YouTube dot com slash at John Cobelt Show, so watch
(18:29):
us join in the chat as well. Uh, we were
just telling you about the idiocy of of Rob BoNT
To the Attorney General and La County Supervisor Lindsay Horvath.
They they they're they're mony. They're both getting involved in
a lawsuit to try to block the Paramount Warner Brothers merger,
(18:54):
which is just incredibly stupid. And there are some major
play on the Paramount side, which who are saying, fine,
will move out of the state. Now, the last wealthy
person they pissed off was Elon Musk, and he got
a two word tweet from a union leader turned legislator
(19:18):
named Lorena Gonzalez. And you got that, Okay, well that
was her tweet for those of you online.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
That was.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
That was what Lorena Gonzalez said, not me. YouTube definitely
heard it. YouTube heard it. Well, there's a little treat
for you guys. This is why you should be watching,
she said f Elon Musk on Twitter, and Musk's responded
to in effect, it's like fine and moved out Shortly thereafter.
(19:50):
I moved a whole most of the Tesla company out
to Austin, Texas. And that's going on quite a bit
with this busines. So now you've got you've got Bonta
and Horvath wanting to sue Paramount stop the Warner Brothers merger.
They can easily move I I mean, I can't believe
(20:14):
with all the thousands and thousands of Hollywood jobs that
have already left the state for other for other states
and countries, Like I was just explaining in the last segment,
with productions in this the city of La are down
like forty to fifty percent television productions.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
I don't know what they're doing.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
I mean, they want to destroy it, and they really
are about destroying successful businesses.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
I mean that's what communists do.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
And you know, they have different words to describe their
belief system, their democratic socialist Bob No, this is this
is communist rule always always destroys the businesses, and why
they don't understand that the businesses now can move very
quickly into another place. And there's forty nine the other
states willing to offer really sweet tax deals. So on
(21:06):
light of all this, Newsom, Newsom is actually short of money,
even though there's a record amount of revenue. I think
the budget this year is three hundred and seventy billion dollars,
which is three and a half times larger than the
budget was fifteen years ago. He blew too much money
(21:26):
on illegal alien healthcare. That's like thirteen billion dollars on
illegal alien healthcare, which is just horrendous, unconsitable, inexcusable.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
He should be removed from office for.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
That, giving away that much money in healthcare to people
who don't belong here, and don't give me this.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
What's gonna happen. They're gonna have to go to the
emergency room.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
No, they can go back to their home country. Newsome's
short on so he put a cap on business tax breaks. Yeah,
there's whatever business tax breaks exist. He's put a cap
on them to try to balance his out of whack budget.
(22:13):
To feed the illegal alien healthcare monster, and three dozen
lawmakers sent him a letter saying, what the hell'd you do?
Because it put a cap on the tax breaks for
the film.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
And television industry. The hell.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
California will be significantly kneecapped, according to the letter from legislators,
some of them Democrats, Assemblyman Rick Zeburr, who's this socialist
nut from the West side of la. He even said,
we have to have people understand that these changes are
really significant and will result in significant job loss if
(22:53):
we don't fix them. Film industry groups have been warning
that capping the tax breaks would violate the legislator's promise
to help businesses, which Newsome just announced this week would
would deliver six billion dollars an e canot positive economic impact.
(23:15):
So he announces that on one day, and a couple
of days later he's capping the tax breaks. California Post
calls it a colossal screw up, and the Motion Picture
Association and the Entertainment Union Coalition wrote a letter saying, uh,
(23:37):
the production companies are learning that the credits earned under
the program may not be honored as originally promised. What
are they doing? Does news even know this? Does he
does he read this stuff?
Speaker 2 (23:55):
Does it? Does it?
Speaker 1 (23:56):
How do you how do you have all these thirty
six lawmakers, including all these democrats. You guys wrote the bill,
you guys passed the bill, but you don't read the bill,
and you don't realize you just undid the tax breaks
that you had voted on and written a bill. For
one week, they're giving the industry tax breaks. The next
(24:17):
week they're taking them away. And then they go, well,
this is really terrible.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
Well it's you.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
I don't know what dirty, greasy, slimy lobbyist is writing
this stuff. It's apparently not the legislators obviously because and
maybe they don't know how to read. Nothing would surprise
me anymore. Now when we come back, you don't new
someone made a big deal about ordering office workers in
(24:50):
the state to go back to the office four days
a week.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
My god, it's six and a half years. It is
six and a half a half years. And up until
July the first Sacramento government workers were still not showing
up in the office. Now they have been there, what
this would be the third week, right, and now they're
(25:18):
claiming that something really horrible is going on in the offices,
that it's a. It's a disgusting, unhealthy discovery and they
want out again.
Speaker 4 (25:30):
What could this ease?
Speaker 1 (25:32):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (25:32):
You like that? I do? All right, tell you about it.
We come back.
Speaker 5 (25:37):
You're listening to John Cobelts on demand from KFI AM sixty.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
CAMF I AM six forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio
appens to John John Cobelts Show. I almost did it today.
That was much smoother yesterday on the first day back
live on YouTube. Go to YouTube dot com slash at
John cobell Show and you could watch this and you
(26:05):
know you missed an F bomb a few minutes ago.
You need to put these in. That'll goose up the
viewership on YouTube. We've been talking about Gavin Newso and
after six and a half years of Sacramento government employees
sitting home in their pajamas or worse, I imagine there
(26:30):
were a lot of employees just sitting in their underwear
or maybe they were outright nude at the kitchen table,
and you know, you were calling them up and sending
them forms and they were just sitting there totally naked, unbathed, unwashed.
You got it. Well, now I feel for these people.
(26:52):
It's just funny that they the union fought knew them
for a while not to go back. I mean, obviously
six and a half years, he wasn't trying all that
hard to send them back. But y'all, I first was
supposed to be four day work weeks in the office.
All the lazy slob union people started complaining, it's the
Service Employees International Union Local one thousand. Well, they finally
(27:15):
get back to work, and within two and a half
weeks they are now claiming that a number of the
government buildings are unsafe or potentially unsafe. The union is
claiming that the Department of Industrial Relations that Legionnaire Legionella
bacteria was detected in the building. And this is something
(27:41):
that gets into the air conditioning system and it's a
bacteria and it can kill you. It's where Legionaire's disease
came from. Yeah, I think this goes back to nineteen
seventy six. There was I leave in American Legion Hall
which had a bad air conditioning heating system, and bacteria
(28:06):
had formed that it can form in the water, like
maybe the cooling water system that they use. Anyway, the
bacteria got into the ducts and started coming out of
the vents and all these people got sick or died
in Philadelphia from it. It's a bacteria that can cause
(28:26):
a severe type of pneumonia if you consume the infected water,
and often grows in human made water building systems. That's
according to the CDC. So this government union says the
Legionella bacteria was detected last month. Now the Department of
(28:47):
Industrial Relations is not denying that it's there. They say
they're going to be flushing the plumbing fixtures and the
water system. Dr has shared these findings with property management
and because they lease space, you know, from a landlord.
But state government buildings have had a long history with
(29:11):
this particular bacteria. The offices for the Public Employees Retirement
System were affected. There's also a bedbug infestation at the
California Department of Education.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
How can they have bedbugs? Do they have they have beds?
Speaker 4 (29:27):
I guess they take their nappies.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
They probably do. Government workers have beds at the Department
of Education. I wonder if they they where their pajamas
to work at the Department of General Services. Assistant deputy director.
Well there's a title, huh someone named fallonsa AQuoSA. Well,
(29:58):
this guy claims that they have. Immedia acted immediately claiming
that it's not true there's an infestation, but they're considering
a whole building treatment. Well, how could you say there's
no infestation but you're gonna treat the entire building for
an infestation.
Speaker 3 (30:17):
It's the same thing as saying the air is not
dangerous and you're giving out masks and all of that stuff.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
Does this guy even did they even hear themselves when
they sound that stupid? If you're clearing out the whole
building and spraying it with poisonous chemicals, something's infesting.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
Oh here's another one.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
Union's claiming cockroaches have also been seen in some of
the buildings. Cockroaches, Legionaire's disease, and bed bugs.
Speaker 4 (30:48):
Okay, I don't blame them for not wanting to go back.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
I guess it's real because I thought.
Speaker 3 (30:54):
It was fake at first. Yeah, if it's real, then
I don't blame them.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
I mean, it was a great way to get an
extra week off. Just complain.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
Oh, there's cockroaches and bed bugs and there's deadly bacteria
in the air. Oh okay, I guess we've got to
close down the buildings and look for it. Hey, we
can't find anything. No, they found everything here knew sim
It said last Thursday about forcing the workers back, Well,
I'm glad people are getting back to work. It's a
(31:20):
healthy thing for their mental health, not for their physical health. Though.
Really he's on a roll. All right, we come back,
We're gonna have Michael Gates on. Michael Gates is the
former city City Attorney for Huntington Beach. He also worked
(31:40):
for the Department of Justice in the Trump administration. He
is now returned to California and he made the runoff
for Attorney General. So he is going to be taking
on the greasy, sleazy, corrupt Rob Bonta and Michael Gates
has a big announcement to me and well Michael will
(32:03):
come on himself to talk about it when we return. First,

Oh the podcast?
Speaker 1 (00:41):
If you miss everything or miss too much of it,
you go to a podcast at six John Cobelt Show
on demand on the iHeart app. All right, so it's
obviously very hot. It's about ninety three degrees. I went
to an in and outline on the way in. I
was pressed for time, and I thought this was going
to save time getting lunch.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
It did not.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
I don't understand why you would think that going into
a line, a drive through it, in and out would
save any kind of time.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
It's always pat.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
I think the heat addled my brain, is what it was.
And I was exceptionally lazy. I didn't want to get
out of my car that I get And as it
turns out, there were a lot of other people who
didn't want to get out of their car. And that's
what I didn't factor in. I thought I was going
to be the only person who was going to beat
the heat and get in line and get get a
quick order. But I really felt for the guy who
(01:34):
was standing out there to take orders. There are times
they pull those those those workers in because it's too much.
I don't know what the cutoff temperature is, maybe it's
a hundred. But this guy was dying out there. He
was wilting, withering away.
Speaker 4 (01:47):
You know it's gonna be hotter tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Yeah, I know, poor guy.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
You know, he looked like he a young guy, summer
job type thing in between school semesters. And I had
one job, only one job like that was not media.
When I was sixteen and I was I was a
bus boy. You were oh, yeah, I was my aunt's restaurant. Well,
(02:13):
she didn't own the restaurant, she worked there, but she
got me a job as a bus boy and it
lasted two days.
Speaker 4 (02:19):
Oh, I was going to stay one day?
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Well, I you know, I signed up for Saturday and Sunday,
just to see how it would go. It was right
as school was starting my senior year in high school,
and oh my god, was that a disaster. It was embarrassing.
I was embarrassed for my aunt because she brought me in.
I was embarised for the manager who had done her,
(02:42):
you know, a favor.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
I was atrocious, hotey. Everything that you could do wrong
as a bus boy, I did wrong.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
Like what an example.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
I was constantly dropping things. Yeah, I'm dropping plates. They're
smashing all over the place. There was huge tubs where
you're supposed to put the dirty plates in. I would
drop the tub. I would have a whole tub full
of plates.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Shacker. I was really no good.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Why are you? And this could have been this really
could have been like a slapstick comedy from the nineteen thirties.
I was like some old Jerry Lewis movie. I was
just absolutely incompetent. And then I'd go into the kitchen.
They finally directed me into the kitchen, and I was
(03:32):
just overwhelmed by two things. First of all, the smell
I knew it, Oh god, the smell of old food.
And this cleanser that they used on everything, you know,
to scrub out the sinks and the counters and all that.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
I went in there and I was threw up right away.
And then everybody in the kitchen didn't speak English. They
were all from Puerto Rico, and they're nice. But I
couldn't talk to anybody. I didn't know what to do.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
You being mean to them?
Speaker 1 (04:01):
No, no, I I was very nice they but I
was in their way. I clearly what was I gonna do.
I didn't want to touch the dishes. I guess I
was supposed to wash. It's like, this is people's foods
on these. I can't do this.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
This is foul.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
What did you think, a bus boy, What did you
think that job entailed when you took the Saturday Sunday?
Speaker 2 (04:22):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
I thought maybe I could like wander around in the
background and look like I was working.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
But you're not a lazy guy.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
I am not a lazy guy. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
I felt obligated. My aunt had got it. My parents
were saying, you should got a job. Okay, all right,
I got a job. She goes, oh, I got you
one at the restaurant. So I go to the restaurant,
I you know, I knew the place. I knew of
a couple of the people there. My aunt had worked
there a long time, so I thought, all right, this
would be kind of pleasant. I guess I'm supposed to
do this, right. I'm sixteen, hotly geez, and it was
(04:54):
two fifty an hour, and I think, by, you know,
that's why when I hear people claiming, you know, the
minimum waite there's only twenty dollars, yeah, f and you okay,
oh god. But I'll never into this day if if
I'm like behind a restaurant in the parking lot and
they got their kitchen door open, or there's some exhaust
thing and I smell the combination of old food and cleanser.
(05:15):
To this day, I flash back to that and I
just want to wretch. The good thing is one week later,
through a contact at school, I got offered a like
a part time job at a newspaper.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
So that yes, that's right.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
It was like just five days later, and that was
like the luckiest moment of my life, because I realized,
I can't do this ever, I've got to be successful
at something.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
This is not gonna work for me.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
Well, you can't even change a light bulb.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
I know, I can't change a light bulb. I cannot
do anything with my hands, well, a couple of things.
But you don't get paid for that.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Uh all right now, not if it's only fans, that's true.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
But only now has that become a marketable skill that
wasn't around when I was sixteen. Another fortune I missed
out of. I want to go home already. Yeah, he
took me down a dark word. I did what was
like the worst job you ever had. Oh you were
(06:23):
in paradise.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
No, no, they weren't the shoes high like, oh you
know what, I have to old man shoes.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
I have to help people. I have to put people's
feet in the shoes. You know, I'd have to smell.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
I mean, yuck. That's the only thing worse than touching
people's old food.
Speaker 4 (06:40):
But I was not commissioned, so I was pretty motivated.
But yeah, that wasn't fun.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
No, that's saying now that for me, it'd be a
level down.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
But you know, I yes, but you know what, John,
I did what I had to do to make ends meet.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
All right, all right?
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Yeah, uh here you are a little more driven and
persistent than I am. Yes, I'm willing to give them quickly,
uh when we come back, you know. Uh, the the
communists that have taken over are our city, our county,
and our state are really hell bent on driving out
a lot of good, high paying jobs in the movie industry.
(07:18):
And they're they're they're actually, it seems, willing to drive
out uh Paramount which is trying to merge with Newsom.
And between the governor who is apparently uh cut their
tax brakes shockingly, the attorney general who's suing to block
(07:40):
the Paramount Warner Brothers merger, and now the communist LA
County Supervisor Lindsay Horvath. She wants La County to uh
back this lawsuit.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Challenging the merger.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
What what's really funny is is Lindsay Horrorvath represents the
West side of Los Angeles, where a lot of entertain
when people live, and the person they voted for in
Horvath overwhelmingly is now trying to block this merger. And
if she succeeds in blocking this merger, Paramount has threatened
(08:13):
to move out of the state. And I think they're serious,
And so I don't know what kind of weird game
of chicken this is, but we'll talk about it when
we come back.
Speaker 5 (08:25):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
The incredible stupidity virtually everybody who is in office in
this state is just astounding. Often when two companies decide
to merge, it's because one of those companies is struggling,
sometimes both of them, and you merge, yes to cut
costs because now you have many departments that are duplicated
(08:55):
and you streamline them into one department. We've this, we've
lived this in the radio industry for about thirty years now,
because there's plenty of well there's plenty of radio stations
that simply didn't make money, and so you merge stations together,
and now you only have maybe one sales staff and
(09:17):
one staff when it comes to placing the commercials, Matt
managing the on air people managing the music. You just
and that's and that's why radio companies have merged, because
a lot of them no profit. There are too many
radio stations actually in a lot of places. Well, it's
(09:40):
happened now to the movie industry and the TV industry
because now there are so many choices, all the choices
that maybe we grew up with Plus all the streaming
companies which are now getting a lion share of the viewership.
I think more than half of all the viewers are
watching streaming services. You YouTube, for example, I think is
(10:02):
usually the number one or the number two service in
the country, and and YouTube has, of course, I think
billions of choices there, so that you know, everybody knows
that the whole world is different, and it's the entertainment
industry is never going to be the same. It can't
(10:25):
survive that way. So a rational person does not have
a heart attack. Because Paramount actually it's known as Paramount
sky Dance that itself is a merger, is going to
take over Warner Brothers Discovery, another old merger. Okay, so
I don't know the Paramount Skydance, Warner Brothers Discovery. It's
all gonna be one big company. So they're gonna they're
(10:48):
gonna own two movie studios there, Paramount and Warner Brothers
two well, CBS Network and CBS News along with CNN News,
HBO Max streaming services along with the Paramount streaming service,
Paramount Plus. So there's gonna be a lot of consolidation.
There will be some loss of jobs, but I don't
(11:10):
know if you've noticed, but there are you know, I
read THEBA for example, I read what the ratings were
for local newscasts in Cincinnati. Do you know the local
newscasts are down between fifty and seventy five percent in
the ratings in Cincinnati. And that is true in a
lot of cities in this country. It's true here in
(11:31):
LA you lose fifty to seventy percent of your audience.
You have lost a lot of revenue, and the remaining
audience is sixty five plus. And nothing wrong with that demographic.
We certainly have our share, but it's advertisers find older
people less desirable because older people are less swayed by commercials.
(11:57):
By the time you get old enough, you've seen and
heard it all.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
But that's true, But don't they have more They have
more money, they.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Have more disposable income. So you have to work harder
and you have to find different kinds of advertising something
that that crowd, because yeah, they're they're they're the wealthiest group.
There's also like a lot of stupid sales attitudes in
the media business.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Yes, where they could be making.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
More money with certain demos, but it's kind of easier
Lazier to call them undesirable and go after uh low
hanging fruit. Anyway, Rob Bonte is along with some other
attorney generals, all from Democratic states almost all, and and
they want to block the merger. Why why is it
(12:44):
his business? He's just this corrupt, sleazy politician. Isn't there
anything about the movie industry or the TV industry? Well
he's he's trying to block the merger. And now Lindsey Horvath,
who's uh, the communist La County supervisor who represents so
(13:04):
many people on the West Side who work in the
entertainment industry. Now she's claiming this is going to cost
some local jobs. So she's like the hero she thinks
for these people.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Do you remember what.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Happened with Spirit Airlines just a few weeks ago. Spirit
wanted to merge with I think it was Jeck Blue
and all the left wing anti business communists in the
Senate like Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren protested this and
(13:38):
eventually the merger was blocked.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
So you know what happened. Spirit went out of business.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
Spirit was too weak to stand on its own, and
everybody that worked for Spirit was unemployed. Everybody when there's
a proposed merger. Often not always, but often it's a
weaker company looking to blend in with a stronger company,
and the stronger company after it does. Some cutting can
(14:08):
carry the load for both and most people will keep
their jobs. Some won't, but that's the nature of the world.
Nobody's guaranteed a job at the same company for the
rest of their lives. So that went out about fifty
years ago. But Rivath and Bonta are trying to block
this merger. And David Ellison is the guy who runs
(14:33):
Paramount and his advisors, You're saying, why don't we get
out of California, Why don't we join all the other
companies that have moved out and set up in Florida
or Texas. Now I'm from Jersey, and I know that
in Jersey the entertainment industry is blossoming like you wouldn't believe.
(14:56):
There is a there's an old military base in northern
Jersey or north central Jersey called Fort Monmouth, and it's
no longer a military base. Netflix has moved in there
and they've built about a dozen sound stages and they're
going to employ thousands of people in New Jersey. And
that's not the only company that's relocating the Jersey and
(15:20):
you know, they've relocated to Georgia for years. They're now
companies moving out of Georgia into Jersey and other states.
There's a lot of production being done in England and Ireland.
There's a game show I heard this podcast, Rob Low
hosts a game show in Ireland. They tape all the episodes.
I think it was supposed to originally be done on
(15:42):
the Fox lot here in LA. And he said, believe
it or not, that it was cheaper to fly everybody
and tape all the episodes in Ireland, that it was
to go down the lot from one side to the other.
(16:02):
That's crazy because it the business climate here is so horrific,
among other things that are horrific. And so now you
have you have game American game shows being produced in
Ireland by a company that's here in LA. But do
we get on their own lot where they already own everything, right,
(16:22):
that's what's amazing. They already own everything there. So Horvath
has got her head in the same place that Karen
Bass has her head, and Bonta and Newsom. They have
no idea about the real world because none of these
people have ever worked in business. They don't sit down
and talk to these business people. They have all their outdated,
(16:44):
stereotypical hatred and bad attitudes towards business. So if if
Paramount Warner Brothers moves out there, weren't they're warning you now,
and before you say, oh, that's not going to happen.
It's like, you know, might go talk to the people
(17:05):
at SPIRIT. Sometimes it's easier just to shut down. It's
cheaper to shut down than it is to keep taking
losses or putting up with government interference.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
So you want to take that risk. Uh, it's not
your business anyway.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Just because a company incorporates in one state or one
city does not mean they have to continue doing business
for the rest of everybody's life. No city, no state,
no country is entitled to hold on to all the
businesses that already exist. The businesses in a free country
can pack up and move wherever they want when the
business climate and other matters become inhospitable. But Horvath is
(17:46):
just a stupid communist. But you know what, a lot
of the moving and TV employees elected her.
Speaker 5 (17:54):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
If I am six forty more stimulating talk radio John
Cobalt Show. We are on every day from three to
six after six o'clock John Cobelt Show on demand on
the iHeart app moistline is eight seven seven Moist st
eaighty six eight seven seven Moist eighty six. Or use
the talkback feature on the iHeartRadio app for Friday and
you can watch us on YouTube right now. Hi, there
YouTube dot com slash at John Cobelt Show, so watch
(18:29):
us join in the chat as well. Uh, we were
just telling you about the idiocy of of Rob BoNT
To the Attorney General and La County Supervisor Lindsay Horvath.
They they they're they're mony. They're both getting involved in
a lawsuit to try to block the Paramount Warner Brothers merger,
(18:54):
which is just incredibly stupid. And there are some major
play on the Paramount side, which who are saying, fine,
will move out of the state. Now, the last wealthy
person they pissed off was Elon Musk, and he got
a two word tweet from a union leader turned legislator
(19:18):
named Lorena Gonzalez. And you got that, Okay, well that
was her tweet for those of you online.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
That was.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
That was what Lorena Gonzalez said, not me. YouTube definitely
heard it. YouTube heard it. Well, there's a little treat
for you guys. This is why you should be watching,
she said f Elon Musk on Twitter, and Musk's responded
to in effect, it's like fine and moved out Shortly thereafter.
(19:50):
I moved a whole most of the Tesla company out
to Austin, Texas. And that's going on quite a bit
with this busines. So now you've got you've got Bonta
and Horvath wanting to sue Paramount stop the Warner Brothers merger.
They can easily move I I mean, I can't believe
(20:14):
with all the thousands and thousands of Hollywood jobs that
have already left the state for other for other states
and countries, Like I was just explaining in the last segment,
with productions in this the city of La are down
like forty to fifty percent television productions.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
I don't know what they're doing.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
I mean, they want to destroy it, and they really
are about destroying successful businesses.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
I mean that's what communists do.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
And you know, they have different words to describe their
belief system, their democratic socialist Bob No, this is this
is communist rule always always destroys the businesses, and why
they don't understand that the businesses now can move very
quickly into another place. And there's forty nine the other
states willing to offer really sweet tax deals. So on
(21:06):
light of all this, Newsom, Newsom is actually short of money,
even though there's a record amount of revenue. I think
the budget this year is three hundred and seventy billion dollars,
which is three and a half times larger than the
budget was fifteen years ago. He blew too much money
(21:26):
on illegal alien healthcare. That's like thirteen billion dollars on
illegal alien healthcare, which is just horrendous, unconsitable, inexcusable.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
He should be removed from office for.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
That, giving away that much money in healthcare to people
who don't belong here, and don't give me this.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
What's gonna happen. They're gonna have to go to the
emergency room.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
No, they can go back to their home country. Newsome's
short on so he put a cap on business tax breaks. Yeah,
there's whatever business tax breaks exist. He's put a cap
on them to try to balance his out of whack budget.
(22:13):
To feed the illegal alien healthcare monster, and three dozen
lawmakers sent him a letter saying, what the hell'd you do?
Because it put a cap on the tax breaks for
the film.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
And television industry. The hell.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
California will be significantly kneecapped, according to the letter from legislators,
some of them Democrats, Assemblyman Rick Zeburr, who's this socialist
nut from the West side of la. He even said,
we have to have people understand that these changes are
really significant and will result in significant job loss if
(22:53):
we don't fix them. Film industry groups have been warning
that capping the tax breaks would violate the legislator's promise
to help businesses, which Newsome just announced this week would
would deliver six billion dollars an e canot positive economic impact.
(23:15):
So he announces that on one day, and a couple
of days later he's capping the tax breaks. California Post
calls it a colossal screw up, and the Motion Picture
Association and the Entertainment Union Coalition wrote a letter saying, uh,
(23:37):
the production companies are learning that the credits earned under
the program may not be honored as originally promised. What
are they doing? Does news even know this? Does he
does he read this stuff?
Speaker 2 (23:55):
Does it? Does it?
Speaker 1 (23:56):
How do you how do you have all these thirty
six lawmakers, including all these democrats. You guys wrote the bill,
you guys passed the bill, but you don't read the bill,
and you don't realize you just undid the tax breaks
that you had voted on and written a bill. For
one week, they're giving the industry tax breaks. The next
(24:17):
week they're taking them away. And then they go, well,
this is really terrible.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
Well it's you.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
I don't know what dirty, greasy, slimy lobbyist is writing
this stuff. It's apparently not the legislators obviously because and
maybe they don't know how to read. Nothing would surprise
me anymore. Now when we come back, you don't new
someone made a big deal about ordering office workers in
(24:50):
the state to go back to the office four days
a week.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
My god, it's six and a half years. It is
six and a half a half years. And up until
July the first Sacramento government workers were still not showing
up in the office. Now they have been there, what
this would be the third week, right, and now they're
(25:18):
claiming that something really horrible is going on in the offices,
that it's a. It's a disgusting, unhealthy discovery and they
want out again.
Speaker 4 (25:30):
What could this ease?
Speaker 1 (25:32):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (25:32):
You like that? I do? All right, tell you about it.
We come back.
Speaker 5 (25:37):
You're listening to John Cobelts on demand from KFI AM sixty.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
CAMF I AM six forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio
appens to John John Cobelts Show. I almost did it today.
That was much smoother yesterday on the first day back
live on YouTube. Go to YouTube dot com slash at
John cobell Show and you could watch this and you
(26:05):
know you missed an F bomb a few minutes ago.
You need to put these in. That'll goose up the
viewership on YouTube. We've been talking about Gavin Newso and
after six and a half years of Sacramento government employees
sitting home in their pajamas or worse, I imagine there
(26:30):
were a lot of employees just sitting in their underwear
or maybe they were outright nude at the kitchen table,
and you know, you were calling them up and sending
them forms and they were just sitting there totally naked, unbathed, unwashed.
You got it. Well, now I feel for these people.
(26:52):
It's just funny that they the union fought knew them
for a while not to go back. I mean, obviously
six and a half years, he wasn't trying all that
hard to send them back. But y'all, I first was
supposed to be four day work weeks in the office.
All the lazy slob union people started complaining, it's the
Service Employees International Union Local one thousand. Well, they finally
(27:15):
get back to work, and within two and a half
weeks they are now claiming that a number of the
government buildings are unsafe or potentially unsafe. The union is
claiming that the Department of Industrial Relations that Legionnaire Legionella
bacteria was detected in the building. And this is something
(27:41):
that gets into the air conditioning system and it's a
bacteria and it can kill you. It's where Legionaire's disease
came from. Yeah, I think this goes back to nineteen
seventy six. There was I leave in American Legion Hall
which had a bad air conditioning heating system, and bacteria
(28:06):
had formed that it can form in the water, like
maybe the cooling water system that they use. Anyway, the
bacteria got into the ducts and started coming out of
the vents and all these people got sick or died
in Philadelphia from it. It's a bacteria that can cause
(28:26):
a severe type of pneumonia if you consume the infected water,
and often grows in human made water building systems. That's
according to the CDC. So this government union says the
Legionella bacteria was detected last month. Now the Department of
(28:47):
Industrial Relations is not denying that it's there. They say
they're going to be flushing the plumbing fixtures and the
water system. Dr has shared these findings with property management
and because they lease space, you know, from a landlord.
But state government buildings have had a long history with
(29:11):
this particular bacteria. The offices for the Public Employees Retirement
System were affected. There's also a bedbug infestation at the
California Department of Education.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
How can they have bedbugs? Do they have they have beds?
Speaker 4 (29:27):
I guess they take their nappies.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
They probably do. Government workers have beds at the Department
of Education. I wonder if they they where their pajamas
to work at the Department of General Services. Assistant deputy director.
Well there's a title, huh someone named fallonsa AQuoSA. Well,
(29:58):
this guy claims that they have. Immedia acted immediately claiming
that it's not true there's an infestation, but they're considering
a whole building treatment. Well, how could you say there's
no infestation but you're gonna treat the entire building for
an infestation.
Speaker 3 (30:17):
It's the same thing as saying the air is not
dangerous and you're giving out masks and all of that stuff.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
Does this guy even did they even hear themselves when
they sound that stupid? If you're clearing out the whole
building and spraying it with poisonous chemicals, something's infesting.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
Oh here's another one.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
Union's claiming cockroaches have also been seen in some of
the buildings. Cockroaches, Legionaire's disease, and bed bugs.
Speaker 4 (30:48):
Okay, I don't blame them for not wanting to go back.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
I guess it's real because I thought.
Speaker 3 (30:54):
It was fake at first. Yeah, if it's real, then
I don't blame them.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
I mean, it was a great way to get an
extra week off. Just complain.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
Oh, there's cockroaches and bed bugs and there's deadly bacteria
in the air. Oh okay, I guess we've got to
close down the buildings and look for it. Hey, we
can't find anything. No, they found everything here knew sim
It said last Thursday about forcing the workers back, Well,
I'm glad people are getting back to work. It's a
(31:20):
healthy thing for their mental health, not for their physical health. Though.
Really he's on a roll. All right, we come back,
We're gonna have Michael Gates on. Michael Gates is the
former city City Attorney for Huntington Beach. He also worked
(31:40):
for the Department of Justice in the Trump administration. He
is now returned to California and he made the runoff
for Attorney General. So he is going to be taking
on the greasy, sleazy, corrupt Rob Bonta and Michael Gates
has a big announcement to me and well Michael will
(32:03):
come on himself to talk about it when we return. First,
