Speaker 1 (00:10):
John Cobelt Show.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Debora Mark is here and we are coming off the
pastathon yesterday where the last total we've heard never say,
nine hundred and fifty four hundred eighty dollars and that
was as of this morning, right, so yeah, it's probably
over a million dollars because you can keep donating money

Speaker 3 (01:02):
And in case you miss John Cobell dressed up as
a furrey. If you're a listener to the show, you
know that he loves furries, he loves the furry stories.
Speaker 4 (01:12):
Why don't you explain what a furry is?
Speaker 1 (01:13):
I love the whole furry community.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Yeah, these are people who they are usually young men,
and they go home and they dress up as stuffed animals,
a cartoon character, yes, furry costumes like you'd see at
a ballgame, right, the mascot or Time Square or Times
Square some of them. This seems to have a sexual
component to it, which I have never delved into fully,
(01:38):
like what you did yesterday.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
No, not sexually.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
No, I don't know what happens in your household.
Speaker 5 (01:46):
You did say you were going to try it in
the bedroom last night, that roar. Anyway, if you want
to go see the videos, she ran out. I'm surprised
more people didn't run out yesterday.
Speaker 6 (02:00):
I was.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
I was left holding my tail that it was. It
didn't last long.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
You can see, I mean, Eric explain where people can watch.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Yeah, you can.
Speaker 5 (02:07):
You can see the video at John Cobelt Radio on
social media, or you can go to the YouTube page
YouTube dot com slash at John Cobelt's show. The whole
segment is up there, up there, and it will never
go away. Five and five dollars went to the kids.
I know that was from the crowd in front of.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
Me, and they left seeing you dressed up as a furrey.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Yeah, isn't that kind of disturbing? Especially some of the
guys there that really got into it. Oh, I know
one guy gave me a hundred dollars bill multiple.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
I think you got a few.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
What am I supposed to do now when a man
gives you one hundred dollars.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
I love your prancing and with the tail and oh
and John, the best part was when he did the
roar it's a pause up. Oh my gosh, you have
to go and watch the videos if you missed it, hysterical.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
There's something wrong inside of me clearly.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
Yeah, there's just you're just figuring that out now.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Yeah, actually there's there's like obviously a screw loose.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
I don't know where all that comes from. But anyway,
thank you. This was, as usual, all your idea.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
It was my idea.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
But again, MICHELLEQ was the one who chose the costume.
I said to her, I want to dress John up
as a furry. She said, I'll go figure it out.
Said thank you, I.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Want to dress John up.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Yes, that's where all the trouble starts. This is what
you think about at home.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
I want to dress John up well every year I
think about Pastathon and how we're gonna, you know, humiliate.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
You and entertain people.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
And the language she uses.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
And I'm being very careful too as I speak.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
I know this is not the real Deborah.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
Who is the real?
Speaker 1 (03:49):
This is the slight, slightly sanitized version of Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
Okay, I have to be careful what I say on
the radio.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
I know, I know.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
All right, Well, anyway, thank you, because you know we
made some money out of it. That's all that matters.
I guess the Trump Somali story has gotten really, really crazy.
You know, We've been telling you and you've probably heard
it in many newscasts that the Governor Tim Waltz allowed
(04:22):
eighty people to rip the state of Minnesota off for
a billion dollars in welfare benefits.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Started during COVID.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
All these bad ideas started during COVID, and most of
them were Somalians. I think seventy nine of them were
some Allians. Out of eighty five or eighty six people
that have been indicted, fifty nine have already been sent
to jail and there's more convictions on the way, or
(04:50):
were plea bargains on the way, And this story had
been buried for several years. These convictions or these guilty
pleas happened just in the last few months, and The
New York Times became the first major media outlet to
cover it this week, and it really exploded because nobody
(05:12):
could believe a billion dollars in a state like Minnesota,
which that's more money than they spend on their prison system,
because Minnesota is a big land state, but it's not
all that densely populated, and that's a lot of money
from Minnesota, and it went to thieves, thieves who came
(05:32):
through the immigration system or came here illegally. There's about
eighty thousand Somalis living in the Minneapolis area and they
were brought here over a number of years. A lot
of them got the citizenship. You know, Somalia is a
country that has had no government, no functioning government for
quite some time. Mogadisho. You may remember Black Hawk Down
(05:54):
the movie years ago. It's a disaster of a country.
It's got a terrorist operation that runs some of the
country called al Shabab, and this some of this money
went to al Shabab some of the tax money, and
I guess federal tax money is involved here.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
A lot our money went to al.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Shabab being funneled through and laundered through Tim Waltz's government
in Minnesota. So Trump's out of his mind over this,
now that all the details are finally coming out. And
listen to him go off on some millions in this country.
Speaker 7 (06:35):
Got three idios ripped off that state for billions of dollars,
billions every year, billions of dollars, and.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
They contributed nothing. The welfare is like eighty eight percent.
Speaker 8 (06:52):
They contributed nothing.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
I don't want him in our country.
Speaker 6 (06:56):
I'll be honest with you.
Speaker 8 (06:57):
Somebody said, oh, that's not politically correct.
Speaker 6 (06:59):
I don't don't care. I don't want them in our country.
Their country is no good for a reason. Their country stakes,
and we don't want them in our country. I can
say that about other countries too. I can say that
about other countries too.
Speaker 8 (07:13):
We don't want them to hell, we got to we
have to rebuild our country. You know, our country is
at a tipping point.
Speaker 7 (07:19):
We could go bad.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
We're at a tipping point.
Speaker 7 (07:22):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
People mind me saying that, but I'm saying that we could.
Speaker 6 (07:26):
Go one way or the other, and we're going to
go the wrong.
Speaker 8 (07:29):
Way if we keep taking in garbage into our country.
Elan Omar is garbage. She's garbage, Her friends are garbage.
These are people that work. These aren't people that say,
let's go, come on, let's.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Make this place great.
Speaker 8 (07:43):
These are people that do nothing but complain. They complain
and from where they came from they got nothing.
Speaker 7 (07:51):
You know, they came from paradise.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
And they said, this isn't paradise. But when they come
from hell and they.
Speaker 9 (07:58):
Complain and do nothing.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
But we don't want him in our country.
Speaker 7 (08:04):
Let him go back to where they came from and
fix it.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
The New York Times was so offended by this yesterday
they were running minute by minute headlines and updates. It
was like a running scroll down the left side of
the website. Trump calls ilhan Omar ilhan Omar garbage, and
then two minutes later, Trump calls all Somalians garbage. Trump
wants to get rid of all Somalians out of the country.
(08:33):
Trump says they all stink. It's like one story after another.
They were running on a scroll. Now, the mayor of
Minneapolis Jacob Fry. And you remember this little impotent weasel.
He was the mayor during the George Floyd riots and
he and Tim Walks allowed, watched encouraged Minneapolis to burn
(08:57):
after the George Floyd riots. Well, he is angry about
Trump because Trump and we'll get into this in the
next segment. Trump has sent in lots of ICE agents
today into Minneapolis. I mean, the reaction has been severe
from Trump. So Fry is in this clip is trying
to warn the locals that there's a difference between the
(09:19):
Minneapolis police and ICE, and he starts speaking Somali to them.
Speaker 10 (09:24):
But we need to also be demanding better from administration
who is intent on targeting people and committing so much time,
energy and money to terrorizing certain groups within our community.
That's not American, that's not what we are about. That
we're going to do right by every single person in
(09:45):
our cities, and so to our Somali community. Daman Shabka
Somaliered Kunul Minnesota, Gottijan Minneapolis, Juan Daniela High, Juan kup
gereb Ta Ganahan, we love you, we stand with you,
(10:07):
and we aren't backing down.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
You will hear a more extreme form of pandering than that.
This is what happens when you let in a lot
of people from a foreign country in a very short
period of time who do not assimilate. The next thing
you know, you have the mayor of Minneapolis in the
wake of a billion dollar fraud scandal. He starts speaking
(10:31):
Somalian to them. This is what happens. We'll talk more
about this and tell you about how Trump has shut
down all immigration from nineteen countries sent in an ice
force into Minneapolis.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
That's all.
Speaker 9 (10:46):
Next, you're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
I guess everybody was mesmerized yesterday by the pastathon and
the furry Dance. We need submissions to the moistline eight
seven seven moist eighty six. It's already Wednesday, and this
thing is supposed to run twice on Friday. Eight seven
seven moist eighty six eight seven seven six six four
seven eight eighty six. Or use the talkback feature on
(11:15):
the iHeartRadio app and you could vent all your fury
at what's going on in the world, and we'll play
it back on Friday. All right, So let's get rolling.
Eight seven seven Moist eighty six. No more fun stuff,
no more laughs. What let's go back to fury an Ack.
You look puzzled.
Speaker 4 (11:36):
Well, I am undisturbed a little.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
I did mean it literally all right. So when we
last left, we played here PHIPA. Trump, who wants all
the Somalians out of the country. Now, that's not possible,
at least not under federal law. If that matters anymore.
He uh, because most of them are legal citizens. They've
they've been coming to Minnesota and America for many years,
(12:01):
but they all ended up in one place. And you know,
we have issues with immigration here in southern California. And
there is one thing Trump said that really hit home
with me. I really get irritated when groups come to
this country and we're told that the rationale for admitting
(12:22):
them and embracing them is that they're coming from terrible circumstances, right,
war and oppression, economic collapse. There's people are persecuted for
the religious beliefs, for the political beliefs, and they don't
have they don't have jobs. They just want to come
(12:43):
here and make money. That USA is a better life,
and that they come here for good reasons and they're
leaving terrible terrible places.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
It's just violence and fear.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
Well accept it seems like you hit a critical mass
and then everybody's starts yeah, like Trump said, complaining. Then
suddenly we're a bad country. We're not generous enough, we're
not welcoming enough.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
That's all. I mean.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
It's like five minutes in suddenly there is an activist
group that's formed, and all they want is more, more, more,
And you're bad and you're bad, and you're bad, and
we're gonna tell you what to say and what to
think and how much money. It's that I think a
lot of people feel that and they don't admit it.
(13:34):
They don't say it out loud. I mean, imagine bringing
this up at a party, right, But a lot of
people feel that. And that's what Trump does is he
says the stuff that a lot of people feel and
are not allowed to say in public. Can't say it
in front of your family, can't say it and you know,
in front of the kids, can't say it at work,
maybe with your friends in the basement if you're drinking
(13:57):
a lot. But it's like you're coming here because you
got to coming from a terrible place and you want
a better life, and this place is just so wonderful.
It's like, okay, we agree, fine, but geez, and then
what do you do? You start you start electing crazy
people like yalhaan Omar, by the way, married a brother
to get in here. Don't be surprised if they fight
(14:19):
a way to deport her. She actually married a brother.
Go look it up yourself. She won't admit it. And
that's what she did and said, well, who needs crazy people?
And you know part of this. And I come from immigrants,
I said a thousand times. But in case you didn't hear,
my dad came from Poland and my mother's parents came
(14:42):
from Poland. And he was captured by the Nazis when
he was fourteen and spent four years in a German
Nazi camp. I don't want to play the German Nazi
camp card, but if I have to.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
But he and I grew.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Up in a town which was blue collar, lower middle
class in Jersey, and everybody had either parents or grandparents
who were immigrants, Polish immigrants, Italian immigrants, German immigrants, Irish immigrants,
mostly Europe but incompatible languages, and they didn't all like
each other.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Blame me.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
There was there was when I was a little kid.
It was a cousin Polish who married an Italian. Oh
my god was that. I was six years old. I
went to the wedding. I still remember all the drama
leading up to the wedding because a Polish and Italian
were mixing. So of course what did I do? I
married in Italian. But by time I married an Italian,
(15:35):
nobody cared in the family. It was amazing, thirty twenty
five year difference.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
I mean it was.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
It was an all out bloody war. So you know,
nobody wanted to you know, there there was there was
no racial not racial, but ethnic harmony back then.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
Either. It took a while to assimilate.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
But because assimilation was encouraged, practically demanded, that was the
national culture. Then you got it now, don't We don't
have a simulations like a bad word. And you know,
Trump is actually pointing out something obvious. You come here, assimily.
Why is there eighty thousand Somalians in Minneapolis, all clustered
(16:12):
together and they're all voting Democratic and you got about
eighty of them who built the state out of a
billion dollars. And Tim Waltz didn't want to confront it
because he wants to keep the eighty thousand votes because
he's running for governor again. I mean that that's just that,
that is garbage. I want to talk about garbage. And
(16:34):
then you get to the point where Jacob Fry is
speaking Somalian the Minneapolis mayor.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
You still got that little clip? Can you just play
his little don shop cut?
Speaker 11 (16:43):
Samaliered Kunul Minnesota, got Ahan Minneapolis Wan Daniela Hi Wan
kup Gereb to Ganahan, we love you, we stand with you,
and we aren't backing down.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
See, when my dad came to the country, he had
to he had to learn English. Took him five a
five year waiting period came in nineteen fifty. Nineteen fifty five,
he finally took the test and got admitted. But he
had to prove he could he could speak English, which
he never really did.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
It wasn't work in progress.
Speaker 4 (17:21):
Yeah, how many words do you think he knew?
Speaker 2 (17:25):
He knew enough to carry on really basic conversations, but
we're talking three four words at a time. He talked
in bursts like he and I didn't really have conversations.
I never had to sit down with him where we
talked for like twenty minutes. You know, he would say
things like, oh, don't do that. Come over that boy,
(17:47):
Yeah right, that boy, go to bed.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
Stop it.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
Too much noise. I never got more than four words
in a row. I know he was doing the best
he could. Yeah, he talked. He talked a blue streak
to my mother in Polish.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
I could.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
I just started decoding Polish and I could tell when
they were talking about.
Speaker 4 (18:09):
I was going to say, do you know when they
were talking about they.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Started plotting to put me in a mental institution once?
And I I really, oh yeah.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
Yeah, oh you have to you have to tell that
story at some point. I mean, I know we're out
of time now, but I want to hear that, all.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
Right, at some point. I mean, that wasn't like a
real plan. But let's say, you know, we weren't all
getting along.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
Mental institution?
Speaker 8 (18:31):
Was John? Really?
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (18:34):
That was probably about nine. Nothing was nothing was happening.
But I was rebellious. I was bored, Actually, I was
bored out of my mind. Yeah, it wasn't going along
with the program. They were old world people. It's like,
he's not going with the program. Put them away, lock
him up.
Speaker 9 (18:53):
You're listening to John Cobel's on demand from KFI Am sixty.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
John Show continues. We're on every day from one until
four o'clock. After four o'clock you go to the podcast.
John cobelt Show on demand podcast is the same as
the radio show. It just moves quicker because they cut
out Dever's news, so you can listen later if you
miss something here, but primarily you should listen live to
(19:21):
everything we do. After two o'clock, we're going to Royal
Oaks on because Trump is blowing up Venezuelan drug boats
and there is a family of a Colombian fisherman who
is making a complaint saying the government killed this man.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
I guess he's a father and a husband.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
And exactly how he got killed, well, we'll tell you,
but I guess got caught up in the military strikes
as we were blowing up those Venezuelan cocaine boats. We'll
talk to Royal Oaks about it. ABC News Legal analysts
coming up. You remember a few days ago there was
(20:10):
a story at a Hermosa Beach. A fifty seven year
old man carrying a pizza box walking down an alleyway
got got nearly killed by a group of crazed young
men on e bikes. Turns out these guys were ages
thirteen to fifteen, and it turns out that they're from
(20:32):
Manhattan Beach. Now, I've always talked about how wonderful Manhattan
Beach is, you know, compared to like Santa Monica or Venice,
that this is a really civilized place, not only beautiful
beaches the ocean there.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
They have that strand where you can walk the bike.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
You've got great restaurants there, a lot of shops and
the people.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
Because we looked at.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
Moving there a couple of times living there, and I
would have been very comfortable beach. But somehow that environment
has produced gangs, supposedly white kids, rich white kids. And
they called themselves the Manhattan Beach Goons, and there were
Dondo Beach Killers, and they whipped themselves up into a frenzy.
(21:29):
And if you haven't seen the video, go look for
it online. They surrounded him, knocked him to the ground,
and kicked and punched him until it seemed he was dead.
In fact, these goons and beach killers, some of them shouted,
he's dead, he's dead, and then they fled. Heges thirteen
(21:53):
to fifteen, All right, now, I want to hear all
the stories about how this group is oppressed or discriminated against,
or raised in poverty.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
How the hell does this happen.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
I was reading a story on The Times and I
amused myself by looking at the comments, because there's so
many people who go to The Times and write really,
really stupid comments. And I'm looking at this and somebody's
always an apologist in the group. It's like, well, you know,
you can't blame the parents. I mean, they can't possibly
(22:30):
know what their kids are doing all the time. You know,
when you're fifteen years old, I mean, didn't you ever
ride your bike and you're fifteen and your parents didn't
know you? Wait? Wait, wait a second, boy, talk about
missing the point. The point is, how did you raise
a kid who became so violent somebody with who's basically
a psycho path That's what the issue is. The issue
(22:52):
is not that the kid was left alone at the
age of fifteen riding a bike with his friends. It's
that he was a psychopath who jump off the bike
and took part in a violent bob to beat a
guy almost to death who've done nothing.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
He was carrying a pizza home.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
Now, I don't know what kind of neglect and abuse
goes on in people's families. But I'm going through the
comments because the comments gave me more information in the
actual news story. This story is written by Clara Harder,
and it's like, I don't know who they are fred
to offend in Manhattan Beach. I mean, usually they when
there's a story about these kind of disruptions and minority neighborhoods,
(23:36):
the LA Times goes all PC right, they get politically correct,
they go all woke, and they tried to soften the
story so that people don't stereotype or snick stigmatize the minorities.
But here they softened the story, they obliterated the story.
I'm ridding the comments. The comments are telling me that
(23:57):
these gangs have been around for quite a while, that
other have gone on. Everybody's terrorized, and everybody knows who
these kids are and who the parents are. Well, what
of the I see. I don't know how you raise
somebody to be a violent psycho path. My guys were
far from perfect, and most of my friends had kids
(24:19):
who were far from perfect, But there were none of
the kids I have known, even growing up and then
living out here in West LA. Have I ever known
violent cycle paths capable of doing this? I am aware
that you have a lot of violent cycle paths in
(24:39):
poor neighborhoods where the kids suffer a lot of abuse
from dysfunctional families, no fathers, drug addicted moms. That whole
bit right, got that part doesn't excuse what they do.
They should still go rot in prison when they harm
or kill people. But what's the excuse here? How do
you do that? If you have one of the best
school systems, if you have a lot of money, if
(25:00):
you have great weather, how do you raise somebody that
much of a psychopath? Or is it that they all
happened to be the six kids with newtant jeans who
were born psychotic and then they all found each other.
I suppose that's possible, because crazy people find crazy people,
and idiots find idiots. But that's the part I want
(25:23):
to know, and they do. You know these kids ought
to be named. If you saw what they did to
that poor guy carrying the pizza box. We should know
their names. We should know the parents' names and their addresses,
so at least we could stay out of that neighborhood,
so we don't become the next victim. I mean the
Manhattan Beach goons and the Redondo Beach killers.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
Oh ha ha ha, that's just got.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
Thirteen, except they acted out How close was he to
being killed? One more kick to the head. Maybe he
apparently stopped moving. They thought he was all dead. Now
there's two that have been charged out of the five
(26:08):
people say you could there were like seven or eight
kids that showed up. Some of them may have come
later after hearing the ruckus, but two of them did
most of the damage to the guy. And you know what,
they're going to be treated just like all the other
teenage criminals in Los Angeles and in California. They probably
(26:28):
won't get much of a sentence if they get convicted.
The charges will be pledged down to misdemeanors and they
might have to spend a weekend under house arrest or
do community service when they should be in prison for
attempted murder. Yeah, their lives ought to be ruined, and
their parents' lives ought to be ruined. How you raise
a psychopath that nearly kills a guy carrying a pizza box.
(26:52):
That's another one of these stories that you know comes
and goes in a day or two and then oh, well, wow,
in Manhattan Beach, in Hermosa Beach. These are Manhattan Beach
kids who went to Hermosa Beach just to kill a guy.
I don't know. More coming up, Deborah, oh oh, Speaking
of the La Times. The La Times has a new
(27:16):
merchandise line, fashion line, clothing, Deborah. And they're trying to
get their employees to buy La Times shirts.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
Not giving it.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
You know, sometimes we get iHeart shirts. They want the
employees to buy the shirts. You're not going to believe
what these are going for. The Times is so short
of money they're selling clothing to their own employees.
Speaker 4 (27:39):
Is it mandatory? Do they have to buy? Do you
get fired?
Speaker 1 (27:45):
At this point they're just asking nicely.
Speaker 9 (27:48):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI A sixty.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
Coming up after two o'clock, Royal Oaks. While they've been
while the Trump administration and has been busy bombing the
Venezuelan drug boats, looks like Colombian fishermen got killed in
the middle of it. And they have filed a complaint
with a Commission on Human Rights and saying that the
(28:17):
US government committed murder. We will talk to looks ABC
News Legal analysts coming up in right after two o'clock.
All Right, La Times is a battered shell. As you know,
there isn't much left of it. Subscriptions are very low,
ad sales are very low. There have been a tremendous
(28:40):
amount of layoffs and buyouts. And Daniel Guss actually tipped
us off to this story.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
The La Times.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
Now, the last time they were in the news outside
of their normal news coverage was that they gave Genie
Kinonyez some kind of award professional Woman of the Year award.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
I guess, I don't know how to describe it.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
And Sheeese, of course, the woman who left the reservoir
drive so that the Palisades could burn. And somehow the
La Times said, Hey, you know, lady, you got an award.
You're diverse, aren't you. Yes, yes, you get an automatic
award for being diverse. Now they're in the news. They
have a new line of clothing T shirts, shorts, denimware.
(29:29):
They have partnered with a company called Palm Angels. You
know this company. It's a luxury streetwear company I do
not based in Milan, and it was founded it says
here on Los Angeles iconography and street scapes.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
I guess it uses. It uses some of the.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
Some of the icons of Los Angeles, the tourism landmarks,
and the street scapes, and they have created patterns. For example,
you could get a denim shirt which is printed with
fake La Times headlines.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
Oh you'd want that, right, No, you're a news one.
You should wear a shirt with.
Speaker 4 (30:10):
With fake fake headlines, sure.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
Story layouts and images from the La Times. In fact,
you could walk around on that shirt. You could have
the La Times logo printed all right. Now, this is
a denim shirt. Guess the price fifty bucks way way off?
Speaker 1 (30:33):
What two fifty way off? Are you seven to fifty
way off? One thousand more than that? Twenty five hundred?
Speaker 2 (30:43):
Well, it's one thousand and seventy eight dollars for a
denim shirt with the La Times logo and headlines on it.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
That's on sale.
Speaker 4 (30:52):
That's on sale.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
Yeah, the original price was one thousand, five hundred and
forty dollars. Now you can get some denim jeans to
go with the denim shirt. That's six hundred and thirty dollars,
So that that's over twenty one hundred dollars. Now, now
we're in your arranged Now, No, I do.
Speaker 4 (31:14):
Not spend I have never spent that anywhere close to
that on a T shirt or jeans.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
There's fourteen pieces in the collection and the cheapest is
a hat which says breaking news, breaking rules. You don't
how much the hat goes for.
Speaker 4 (31:34):
Okay, three fifty, one hundred.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
And sixty nine dollars. They're now.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
The thing is they're they're asking, they're asking the employees
to buy this stuff.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
The employees, how.
Speaker 4 (31:51):
Can they afford that?
Speaker 2 (31:53):
The few that are left not to mention, you know,
many of them have had their salaries cut.
Speaker 1 (31:59):
Why are they getting involved in this? Outside of the.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
Fire, they do a really bad job. They do a
great job on the fire, a terrible job on everything
else they cover in Just like a lot of nonsense.
Like I was gonna just go to the front page.
I could do this every day, but there's better ways
to spend my time. What do they have today? Here's
(32:25):
a big story on a stunt bike influencer who follows
behind the tent zipper at La Encampments.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
He goes to homeless encampments.
Speaker 2 (32:37):
And I guess sticks a camera inside the tent and
then post the photos and there's a picture of him
sitting on a fence half naked. He has no shirt on,
and he's got a lot of tattoos on his back.
That is the second row of stories. That's that this
is the stuff they do. I didn't know this, but
(33:01):
the La Times guild devoted last month overwhelmingly on a
possible strike. They've been negotiating a contract for three years,
but then the strike was averted.
Speaker 4 (33:16):
We want to see you wear one of those shirts, John, Well.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
You want to you want to spend a thousand bucks
because we're.
Speaker 5 (33:23):
Not even halfway there with the money we raised Yesterday's right?
Speaker 2 (33:28):
Yeah, next next year, I can We're in La Times.
I don't streetwear outfit.
Speaker 4 (33:32):
You'll have to buy it then.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
Now a streetwear outfit, that would be funny, Okay.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
I mean they think their employees are going to buy
this stuff, like what's what's there's really something wrong with
them and so no wonder they can't come to the
news strike.
Speaker 4 (33:44):
I can't believe they're going to sell even one.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
Yeah, no, it's a The story came out of the
sf gate dot com post layoffs. LA Times ask employees
to buy one thousand dollars La Time shirts.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (33:56):
I don't think a single person will buy one.
Speaker 2 (33:58):
They are smoking something. We come back. You know, we've
been bombing Venezuelan drug boats. Well looks like we hit
a fishing boat. Columbian fisherman died in a boat strike,
and now he's filing a complaint with a Commission on
Human Rights saying that the US government murdered him. We're
going to talk to Royal Oaks ABC News legal analysts
(34:20):
about this case coming up.
Speaker 1 (34:22):
Get one big yawn.
Speaker 7 (34:23):
Out of you.
Speaker 4 (34:24):
Yeah, I'm so tired.
Speaker 1 (34:25):
What were you doing last night?
Speaker 4 (34:27):
I did not sleep very well.
Speaker 1 (34:28):
All the excitement right after the third days.
Speaker 4 (34:30):
There's a lot of things going on in my life.
Speaker 2 (34:32):

Speaker 3 (01:02):
And in case you miss John Cobell dressed up as
a furrey. If you're a listener to the show, you
know that he loves furries, he loves the furry stories.
Speaker 4 (01:12):
Why don't you explain what a furry is?
Speaker 1 (01:13):
I love the whole furry community.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Yeah, these are people who they are usually young men,
and they go home and they dress up as stuffed animals,
a cartoon character, yes, furry costumes like you'd see at
a ballgame, right, the mascot or Time Square or Times
Square some of them. This seems to have a sexual
component to it, which I have never delved into fully,
(01:38):
like what you did yesterday.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
No, not sexually.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
No, I don't know what happens in your household.
Speaker 5 (01:46):
You did say you were going to try it in
the bedroom last night, that roar. Anyway, if you want
to go see the videos, she ran out. I'm surprised
more people didn't run out yesterday.
Speaker 6 (02:00):
I was.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
I was left holding my tail that it was. It
didn't last long.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
You can see, I mean, Eric explain where people can watch.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Yeah, you can.
Speaker 5 (02:07):
You can see the video at John Cobelt Radio on
social media, or you can go to the YouTube page
YouTube dot com slash at John Cobelt's show. The whole
segment is up there, up there, and it will never
go away. Five and five dollars went to the kids.
I know that was from the crowd in front of.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
Me, and they left seeing you dressed up as a furrey.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Yeah, isn't that kind of disturbing? Especially some of the
guys there that really got into it. Oh, I know
one guy gave me a hundred dollars bill multiple.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
I think you got a few.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
What am I supposed to do now when a man
gives you one hundred dollars.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
I love your prancing and with the tail and oh
and John, the best part was when he did the
roar it's a pause up. Oh my gosh, you have
to go and watch the videos if you missed it, hysterical.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
There's something wrong inside of me clearly.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
Yeah, there's just you're just figuring that out now.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Yeah, actually there's there's like obviously a screw loose.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
I don't know where all that comes from. But anyway,
thank you. This was, as usual, all your idea.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
It was my idea.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
But again, MICHELLEQ was the one who chose the costume.
I said to her, I want to dress John up
as a furry. She said, I'll go figure it out.
Said thank you, I.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Want to dress John up.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Yes, that's where all the trouble starts. This is what
you think about at home.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
I want to dress John up well every year I
think about Pastathon and how we're gonna, you know, humiliate.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
You and entertain people.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
And the language she uses.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
And I'm being very careful too as I speak.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
I know this is not the real Deborah.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
Who is the real?
Speaker 1 (03:49):
This is the slight, slightly sanitized version of Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
Okay, I have to be careful what I say on
the radio.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
I know, I know.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
All right, Well, anyway, thank you, because you know we
made some money out of it. That's all that matters.
I guess the Trump Somali story has gotten really, really crazy.
You know, We've been telling you and you've probably heard
it in many newscasts that the Governor Tim Waltz allowed
(04:22):
eighty people to rip the state of Minnesota off for
a billion dollars in welfare benefits.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Started during COVID.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
All these bad ideas started during COVID, and most of
them were Somalians. I think seventy nine of them were
some Allians. Out of eighty five or eighty six people
that have been indicted, fifty nine have already been sent
to jail and there's more convictions on the way, or
(04:50):
were plea bargains on the way, And this story had
been buried for several years. These convictions or these guilty
pleas happened just in the last few months, and The
New York Times became the first major media outlet to
cover it this week, and it really exploded because nobody
(05:12):
could believe a billion dollars in a state like Minnesota,
which that's more money than they spend on their prison system,
because Minnesota is a big land state, but it's not
all that densely populated, and that's a lot of money
from Minnesota, and it went to thieves, thieves who came
(05:32):
through the immigration system or came here illegally. There's about
eighty thousand Somalis living in the Minneapolis area and they
were brought here over a number of years. A lot
of them got the citizenship. You know, Somalia is a
country that has had no government, no functioning government for
quite some time. Mogadisho. You may remember Black Hawk Down
(05:54):
the movie years ago. It's a disaster of a country.
It's got a terrorist operation that runs some of the
country called al Shabab, and this some of this money
went to al Shabab some of the tax money, and
I guess federal tax money is involved here.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
A lot our money went to al.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Shabab being funneled through and laundered through Tim Waltz's government
in Minnesota. So Trump's out of his mind over this,
now that all the details are finally coming out. And
listen to him go off on some millions in this country.
Speaker 7 (06:35):
Got three idios ripped off that state for billions of dollars,
billions every year, billions of dollars, and.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
They contributed nothing. The welfare is like eighty eight percent.
Speaker 8 (06:52):
They contributed nothing.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
I don't want him in our country.
Speaker 6 (06:56):
I'll be honest with you.
Speaker 8 (06:57):
Somebody said, oh, that's not politically correct.
Speaker 6 (06:59):
I don't don't care. I don't want them in our country.
Their country is no good for a reason. Their country stakes,
and we don't want them in our country. I can
say that about other countries too. I can say that
about other countries too.
Speaker 8 (07:13):
We don't want them to hell, we got to we
have to rebuild our country. You know, our country is
at a tipping point.
Speaker 7 (07:19):
We could go bad.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
We're at a tipping point.
Speaker 7 (07:22):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
People mind me saying that, but I'm saying that we could.
Speaker 6 (07:26):
Go one way or the other, and we're going to
go the wrong.
Speaker 8 (07:29):
Way if we keep taking in garbage into our country.
Elan Omar is garbage. She's garbage, Her friends are garbage.
These are people that work. These aren't people that say,
let's go, come on, let's.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Make this place great.
Speaker 8 (07:43):
These are people that do nothing but complain. They complain
and from where they came from they got nothing.
Speaker 7 (07:51):
You know, they came from paradise.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
And they said, this isn't paradise. But when they come
from hell and they.
Speaker 9 (07:58):
Complain and do nothing.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
But we don't want him in our country.
Speaker 7 (08:04):
Let him go back to where they came from and
fix it.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
The New York Times was so offended by this yesterday
they were running minute by minute headlines and updates. It
was like a running scroll down the left side of
the website. Trump calls ilhan Omar ilhan Omar garbage, and
then two minutes later, Trump calls all Somalians garbage. Trump
wants to get rid of all Somalians out of the country.
(08:33):
Trump says they all stink. It's like one story after another.
They were running on a scroll. Now, the mayor of
Minneapolis Jacob Fry. And you remember this little impotent weasel.
He was the mayor during the George Floyd riots and
he and Tim Walks allowed, watched encouraged Minneapolis to burn
(08:57):
after the George Floyd riots. Well, he is angry about
Trump because Trump and we'll get into this in the
next segment. Trump has sent in lots of ICE agents
today into Minneapolis. I mean, the reaction has been severe
from Trump. So Fry is in this clip is trying
to warn the locals that there's a difference between the
(09:19):
Minneapolis police and ICE, and he starts speaking Somali to them.
Speaker 10 (09:24):
But we need to also be demanding better from administration
who is intent on targeting people and committing so much time,
energy and money to terrorizing certain groups within our community.
That's not American, that's not what we are about. That
we're going to do right by every single person in
(09:45):
our cities, and so to our Somali community. Daman Shabka
Somaliered Kunul Minnesota, Gottijan Minneapolis, Juan Daniela High, Juan kup
gereb Ta Ganahan, we love you, we stand with you,
(10:07):
and we aren't backing down.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
You will hear a more extreme form of pandering than that.
This is what happens when you let in a lot
of people from a foreign country in a very short
period of time who do not assimilate. The next thing
you know, you have the mayor of Minneapolis in the
wake of a billion dollar fraud scandal. He starts speaking
(10:31):
Somalian to them. This is what happens. We'll talk more
about this and tell you about how Trump has shut
down all immigration from nineteen countries sent in an ice
force into Minneapolis.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
That's all.
Speaker 9 (10:46):
Next, you're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
I guess everybody was mesmerized yesterday by the pastathon and
the furry Dance. We need submissions to the moistline eight
seven seven moist eighty six. It's already Wednesday, and this
thing is supposed to run twice on Friday. Eight seven
seven moist eighty six eight seven seven six six four
seven eight eighty six. Or use the talkback feature on
(11:15):
the iHeartRadio app and you could vent all your fury
at what's going on in the world, and we'll play
it back on Friday. All right, So let's get rolling.
Eight seven seven Moist eighty six. No more fun stuff,
no more laughs. What let's go back to fury an Ack.
You look puzzled.
Speaker 4 (11:36):
Well, I am undisturbed a little.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
I did mean it literally all right. So when we
last left, we played here PHIPA. Trump, who wants all
the Somalians out of the country. Now, that's not possible,
at least not under federal law. If that matters anymore.
He uh, because most of them are legal citizens. They've
they've been coming to Minnesota and America for many years,
(12:01):
but they all ended up in one place. And you know,
we have issues with immigration here in southern California. And
there is one thing Trump said that really hit home
with me. I really get irritated when groups come to
this country and we're told that the rationale for admitting
(12:22):
them and embracing them is that they're coming from terrible circumstances, right,
war and oppression, economic collapse. There's people are persecuted for
the religious beliefs, for the political beliefs, and they don't
have they don't have jobs. They just want to come
(12:43):
here and make money. That USA is a better life,
and that they come here for good reasons and they're
leaving terrible terrible places.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
It's just violence and fear.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
Well accept it seems like you hit a critical mass
and then everybody's starts yeah, like Trump said, complaining. Then
suddenly we're a bad country. We're not generous enough, we're
not welcoming enough.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
That's all. I mean.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
It's like five minutes in suddenly there is an activist
group that's formed, and all they want is more, more, more,
And you're bad and you're bad, and you're bad, and
we're gonna tell you what to say and what to
think and how much money. It's that I think a
lot of people feel that and they don't admit it.
(13:34):
They don't say it out loud. I mean, imagine bringing
this up at a party, right, But a lot of
people feel that. And that's what Trump does is he
says the stuff that a lot of people feel and
are not allowed to say in public. Can't say it
in front of your family, can't say it and you know,
in front of the kids, can't say it at work,
maybe with your friends in the basement if you're drinking
(13:57):
a lot. But it's like you're coming here because you
got to coming from a terrible place and you want
a better life, and this place is just so wonderful.
It's like, okay, we agree, fine, but geez, and then
what do you do? You start you start electing crazy
people like yalhaan Omar, by the way, married a brother
to get in here. Don't be surprised if they fight
(14:19):
a way to deport her. She actually married a brother.
Go look it up yourself. She won't admit it. And
that's what she did and said, well, who needs crazy people?
And you know part of this. And I come from immigrants,
I said a thousand times. But in case you didn't hear,
my dad came from Poland and my mother's parents came
(14:42):
from Poland. And he was captured by the Nazis when
he was fourteen and spent four years in a German
Nazi camp. I don't want to play the German Nazi
camp card, but if I have to.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
But he and I grew.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Up in a town which was blue collar, lower middle
class in Jersey, and everybody had either parents or grandparents
who were immigrants, Polish immigrants, Italian immigrants, German immigrants, Irish immigrants,
mostly Europe but incompatible languages, and they didn't all like
each other.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Blame me.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
There was there was when I was a little kid.
It was a cousin Polish who married an Italian. Oh
my god was that. I was six years old. I
went to the wedding. I still remember all the drama
leading up to the wedding because a Polish and Italian
were mixing. So of course what did I do? I
married in Italian. But by time I married an Italian,
(15:35):
nobody cared in the family. It was amazing, thirty twenty
five year difference.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
I mean it was.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
It was an all out bloody war. So you know,
nobody wanted to you know, there there was there was
no racial not racial, but ethnic harmony back then.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
Either. It took a while to assimilate.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
But because assimilation was encouraged, practically demanded, that was the
national culture. Then you got it now, don't We don't
have a simulations like a bad word. And you know,
Trump is actually pointing out something obvious. You come here, assimily.
Why is there eighty thousand Somalians in Minneapolis, all clustered
(16:12):
together and they're all voting Democratic and you got about
eighty of them who built the state out of a
billion dollars. And Tim Waltz didn't want to confront it
because he wants to keep the eighty thousand votes because
he's running for governor again. I mean that that's just that,
that is garbage. I want to talk about garbage. And
(16:34):
then you get to the point where Jacob Fry is
speaking Somalian the Minneapolis mayor.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
You still got that little clip? Can you just play
his little don shop cut?
Speaker 11 (16:43):
Samaliered Kunul Minnesota, got Ahan Minneapolis Wan Daniela Hi Wan
kup Gereb to Ganahan, we love you, we stand with you,
and we aren't backing down.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
See, when my dad came to the country, he had
to he had to learn English. Took him five a
five year waiting period came in nineteen fifty. Nineteen fifty five,
he finally took the test and got admitted. But he
had to prove he could he could speak English, which
he never really did.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
It wasn't work in progress.
Speaker 4 (17:21):
Yeah, how many words do you think he knew?
Speaker 2 (17:25):
He knew enough to carry on really basic conversations, but
we're talking three four words at a time. He talked
in bursts like he and I didn't really have conversations.
I never had to sit down with him where we
talked for like twenty minutes. You know, he would say
things like, oh, don't do that. Come over that boy,
(17:47):
Yeah right, that boy, go to bed.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
Stop it.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
Too much noise. I never got more than four words
in a row. I know he was doing the best
he could. Yeah, he talked. He talked a blue streak
to my mother in Polish.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
I could.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
I just started decoding Polish and I could tell when
they were talking about.
Speaker 4 (18:09):
I was going to say, do you know when they
were talking about they.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Started plotting to put me in a mental institution once?
And I I really, oh yeah.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
Yeah, oh you have to you have to tell that
story at some point. I mean, I know we're out
of time now, but I want to hear that, all.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
Right, at some point. I mean, that wasn't like a
real plan. But let's say, you know, we weren't all
getting along.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
Mental institution?
Speaker 8 (18:31):
Was John? Really?
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (18:34):
That was probably about nine. Nothing was nothing was happening.
But I was rebellious. I was bored, Actually, I was
bored out of my mind. Yeah, it wasn't going along
with the program. They were old world people. It's like,
he's not going with the program. Put them away, lock
him up.
Speaker 9 (18:53):
You're listening to John Cobel's on demand from KFI Am sixty.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
John Show continues. We're on every day from one until
four o'clock. After four o'clock you go to the podcast.
John cobelt Show on demand podcast is the same as
the radio show. It just moves quicker because they cut
out Dever's news, so you can listen later if you
miss something here, but primarily you should listen live to
(19:21):
everything we do. After two o'clock, we're going to Royal
Oaks on because Trump is blowing up Venezuelan drug boats
and there is a family of a Colombian fisherman who
is making a complaint saying the government killed this man.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
I guess he's a father and a husband.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
And exactly how he got killed, well, we'll tell you,
but I guess got caught up in the military strikes
as we were blowing up those Venezuelan cocaine boats. We'll
talk to Royal Oaks about it. ABC News Legal analysts
coming up. You remember a few days ago there was
(20:10):
a story at a Hermosa Beach. A fifty seven year
old man carrying a pizza box walking down an alleyway
got got nearly killed by a group of crazed young
men on e bikes. Turns out these guys were ages
thirteen to fifteen, and it turns out that they're from
(20:32):
Manhattan Beach. Now, I've always talked about how wonderful Manhattan
Beach is, you know, compared to like Santa Monica or Venice,
that this is a really civilized place, not only beautiful
beaches the ocean there.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
They have that strand where you can walk the bike.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
You've got great restaurants there, a lot of shops and
the people.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
Because we looked at.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
Moving there a couple of times living there, and I
would have been very comfortable beach. But somehow that environment
has produced gangs, supposedly white kids, rich white kids. And
they called themselves the Manhattan Beach Goons, and there were
Dondo Beach Killers, and they whipped themselves up into a frenzy.
(21:29):
And if you haven't seen the video, go look for
it online. They surrounded him, knocked him to the ground,
and kicked and punched him until it seemed he was dead.
In fact, these goons and beach killers, some of them shouted,
he's dead, he's dead, and then they fled. Heges thirteen
(21:53):
to fifteen, All right, now, I want to hear all
the stories about how this group is oppressed or discriminated against,
or raised in poverty.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
How the hell does this happen.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
I was reading a story on The Times and I
amused myself by looking at the comments, because there's so
many people who go to The Times and write really,
really stupid comments. And I'm looking at this and somebody's
always an apologist in the group. It's like, well, you know,
you can't blame the parents. I mean, they can't possibly
(22:30):
know what their kids are doing all the time. You know,
when you're fifteen years old, I mean, didn't you ever
ride your bike and you're fifteen and your parents didn't
know you? Wait? Wait, wait a second, boy, talk about
missing the point. The point is, how did you raise
a kid who became so violent somebody with who's basically
a psycho path That's what the issue is. The issue
(22:52):
is not that the kid was left alone at the
age of fifteen riding a bike with his friends. It's
that he was a psychopath who jump off the bike
and took part in a violent bob to beat a
guy almost to death who've done nothing.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
He was carrying a pizza home.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
Now, I don't know what kind of neglect and abuse
goes on in people's families. But I'm going through the
comments because the comments gave me more information in the
actual news story. This story is written by Clara Harder,
and it's like, I don't know who they are fred
to offend in Manhattan Beach. I mean, usually they when
there's a story about these kind of disruptions and minority neighborhoods,
(23:36):
the LA Times goes all PC right, they get politically correct,
they go all woke, and they tried to soften the
story so that people don't stereotype or snick stigmatize the minorities.
But here they softened the story, they obliterated the story.
I'm ridding the comments. The comments are telling me that
(23:57):
these gangs have been around for quite a while, that
other have gone on. Everybody's terrorized, and everybody knows who
these kids are and who the parents are. Well, what
of the I see. I don't know how you raise
somebody to be a violent psycho path. My guys were
far from perfect, and most of my friends had kids
(24:19):
who were far from perfect, But there were none of
the kids I have known, even growing up and then
living out here in West LA. Have I ever known
violent cycle paths capable of doing this? I am aware
that you have a lot of violent cycle paths in
(24:39):
poor neighborhoods where the kids suffer a lot of abuse
from dysfunctional families, no fathers, drug addicted moms. That whole
bit right, got that part doesn't excuse what they do.
They should still go rot in prison when they harm
or kill people. But what's the excuse here? How do
you do that? If you have one of the best
school systems, if you have a lot of money, if
(25:00):
you have great weather, how do you raise somebody that
much of a psychopath? Or is it that they all
happened to be the six kids with newtant jeans who
were born psychotic and then they all found each other.
I suppose that's possible, because crazy people find crazy people,
and idiots find idiots. But that's the part I want
(25:23):
to know, and they do. You know these kids ought
to be named. If you saw what they did to
that poor guy carrying the pizza box. We should know
their names. We should know the parents' names and their addresses,
so at least we could stay out of that neighborhood,
so we don't become the next victim. I mean the
Manhattan Beach goons and the Redondo Beach killers.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
Oh ha ha ha, that's just got.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
Thirteen, except they acted out How close was he to
being killed? One more kick to the head. Maybe he
apparently stopped moving. They thought he was all dead. Now
there's two that have been charged out of the five
(26:08):
people say you could there were like seven or eight
kids that showed up. Some of them may have come
later after hearing the ruckus, but two of them did
most of the damage to the guy. And you know what,
they're going to be treated just like all the other
teenage criminals in Los Angeles and in California. They probably
(26:28):
won't get much of a sentence if they get convicted.
The charges will be pledged down to misdemeanors and they
might have to spend a weekend under house arrest or
do community service when they should be in prison for
attempted murder. Yeah, their lives ought to be ruined, and
their parents' lives ought to be ruined. How you raise
a psychopath that nearly kills a guy carrying a pizza box.
(26:52):
That's another one of these stories that you know comes
and goes in a day or two and then oh, well, wow,
in Manhattan Beach, in Hermosa Beach. These are Manhattan Beach
kids who went to Hermosa Beach just to kill a guy.
I don't know. More coming up, Deborah, oh oh, Speaking
of the La Times. The La Times has a new
(27:16):
merchandise line, fashion line, clothing, Deborah. And they're trying to
get their employees to buy La Times shirts.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
Not giving it.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
You know, sometimes we get iHeart shirts. They want the
employees to buy the shirts. You're not going to believe
what these are going for. The Times is so short
of money they're selling clothing to their own employees.
Speaker 4 (27:39):
Is it mandatory? Do they have to buy? Do you
get fired?
Speaker 1 (27:45):
At this point they're just asking nicely.
Speaker 9 (27:48):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI A sixty.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
Coming up after two o'clock, Royal Oaks. While they've been
while the Trump administration and has been busy bombing the
Venezuelan drug boats, looks like Colombian fishermen got killed in
the middle of it. And they have filed a complaint
with a Commission on Human Rights and saying that the
(28:17):
US government committed murder. We will talk to looks ABC
News Legal analysts coming up in right after two o'clock.
All Right, La Times is a battered shell. As you know,
there isn't much left of it. Subscriptions are very low,
ad sales are very low. There have been a tremendous
(28:40):
amount of layoffs and buyouts. And Daniel Guss actually tipped
us off to this story.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
The La Times.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
Now, the last time they were in the news outside
of their normal news coverage was that they gave Genie
Kinonyez some kind of award professional Woman of the Year award.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
I guess, I don't know how to describe it.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
And Sheeese, of course, the woman who left the reservoir
drive so that the Palisades could burn. And somehow the
La Times said, Hey, you know, lady, you got an award.
You're diverse, aren't you. Yes, yes, you get an automatic
award for being diverse. Now they're in the news. They
have a new line of clothing T shirts, shorts, denimware.
(29:29):
They have partnered with a company called Palm Angels. You
know this company. It's a luxury streetwear company I do
not based in Milan, and it was founded it says
here on Los Angeles iconography and street scapes.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
I guess it uses. It uses some of the.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
Some of the icons of Los Angeles, the tourism landmarks,
and the street scapes, and they have created patterns. For example,
you could get a denim shirt which is printed with
fake La Times headlines.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
Oh you'd want that, right, No, you're a news one.
You should wear a shirt with.
Speaker 4 (30:10):
With fake fake headlines, sure.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
Story layouts and images from the La Times. In fact,
you could walk around on that shirt. You could have
the La Times logo printed all right. Now, this is
a denim shirt. Guess the price fifty bucks way way off?
Speaker 1 (30:33):
What two fifty way off? Are you seven to fifty
way off? One thousand more than that? Twenty five hundred?
Speaker 2 (30:43):
Well, it's one thousand and seventy eight dollars for a
denim shirt with the La Times logo and headlines on it.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
That's on sale.
Speaker 4 (30:52):
That's on sale.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
Yeah, the original price was one thousand, five hundred and
forty dollars. Now you can get some denim jeans to
go with the denim shirt. That's six hundred and thirty dollars,
So that that's over twenty one hundred dollars. Now, now
we're in your arranged Now, No, I do.
Speaker 4 (31:14):
Not spend I have never spent that anywhere close to
that on a T shirt or jeans.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
There's fourteen pieces in the collection and the cheapest is
a hat which says breaking news, breaking rules. You don't
how much the hat goes for.
Speaker 4 (31:34):
Okay, three fifty, one hundred.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
And sixty nine dollars. They're now.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
The thing is they're they're asking, they're asking the employees
to buy this stuff.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
The employees, how.
Speaker 4 (31:51):
Can they afford that?
Speaker 2 (31:53):
The few that are left not to mention, you know,
many of them have had their salaries cut.
Speaker 1 (31:59):
Why are they getting involved in this? Outside of the.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
Fire, they do a really bad job. They do a
great job on the fire, a terrible job on everything
else they cover in Just like a lot of nonsense.
Like I was gonna just go to the front page.
I could do this every day, but there's better ways
to spend my time. What do they have today? Here's
(32:25):
a big story on a stunt bike influencer who follows
behind the tent zipper at La Encampments.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
He goes to homeless encampments.
Speaker 2 (32:37):
And I guess sticks a camera inside the tent and
then post the photos and there's a picture of him
sitting on a fence half naked. He has no shirt on,
and he's got a lot of tattoos on his back.
That is the second row of stories. That's that this
is the stuff they do. I didn't know this, but
(33:01):
the La Times guild devoted last month overwhelmingly on a
possible strike. They've been negotiating a contract for three years,
but then the strike was averted.
Speaker 4 (33:16):
We want to see you wear one of those shirts, John, Well.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
You want to you want to spend a thousand bucks
because we're.
Speaker 5 (33:23):
Not even halfway there with the money we raised Yesterday's right?
Speaker 2 (33:28):
Yeah, next next year, I can We're in La Times.
I don't streetwear outfit.
Speaker 4 (33:32):
You'll have to buy it then.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
Now a streetwear outfit, that would be funny, Okay.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
I mean they think their employees are going to buy
this stuff, like what's what's there's really something wrong with
them and so no wonder they can't come to the
news strike.
Speaker 4 (33:44):
I can't believe they're going to sell even one.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
Yeah, no, it's a The story came out of the
sf gate dot com post layoffs. LA Times ask employees
to buy one thousand dollars La Time shirts.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (33:56):
I don't think a single person will buy one.
Speaker 2 (33:58):
They are smoking something. We come back. You know, we've
been bombing Venezuelan drug boats. Well looks like we hit
a fishing boat. Columbian fisherman died in a boat strike,
and now he's filing a complaint with a Commission on
Human Rights saying that the US government murdered him. We're
going to talk to Royal Oaks ABC News legal analysts
(34:20):
about this case coming up.
Speaker 1 (34:22):
Get one big yawn.
Speaker 7 (34:23):
Out of you.
Speaker 4 (34:24):
Yeah, I'm so tired.
Speaker 1 (34:25):
What were you doing last night?
Speaker 4 (34:27):
I did not sleep very well.
Speaker 1 (34:28):
All the excitement right after the third days.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
