Can't. I am six forty. You're listening to the John

Cobelt Show on demand, that's the podcast, and you could

(00:22):
Alex Stone's coming on here in uh, well, Trump is
invading Portland. He's got Ice invading Chicago. In fact, Ice
agents were seen on boats on the Chicago River. I
saw some photos of that. They already barged into Memphis
to try to stop all the crime there. And you
(00:46):
know that today took over Washington, d C. So Portland's next.
And Portland has a rich history of violence and protest
for over five years. Now, let's go to Alex Stone
and see what this is about here, Alex, what's going on?
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Hey?
Speaker 1 (01:01):
They're John? Yeah, Well, and Portland is saying, look, they've
had their time with Antifa and other things, and they
feel like right now is relatively common. You know, Memphis
and Chicago, they've been threatened with troops coming in. But
Chicago it seems like it's off the table now they've
had federal agents go in, but of actual troops and
not so much. And in Memphis they've got agents and
they're waiting to find out. It's been taunted for a
(01:24):
number of weeks now, and now Oregon looks like that
it may be go time because Title ten he's now
been activated for the Oregon National Guard, federalizing them like
what was done in LA. But a few minutes ago,
Oregon filed for a temporary injunction to prevent the president
from federalizing its National Guard and sending in troops, arguing
(01:45):
that he doesn't have the authority a lot of the
arguments we heard in LA doesn't have the authority to
do it without an insurrection being declared, And the state
is saying, by no means is an insurrection unfolding right now,
and that the federal agents that have now come in
over the weekend have actually antagonized and made the crowds
that were small get bigger according to the state, and
(02:07):
that arrests at protests have not unfolded for many months,
and that things have been very quiet. Oregon's Attorney General
arguing in.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
All this, this is a long line in a pattern
of behavior to expand the executive authority, and so I
think you'll continue to see lawsuits be filed as long
as the President wants to press the bounds of our democracy.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
So in their argument that they are focusing in on
the ruling in California when the federal judge found the
President Trump's deployment of federal troops in La and June
was illegal. That has been on hold and is going
back to the appellate court while the appellate court deals
with it, probably eventually will go to the Supreme Court.
But Oregon, he is arguing that the military rule is
what they say, incompatible with liberty and with democracy. That
(02:52):
the President said over the weekend on truth Social that
it's needed to protect federal agents who are in Portland.
He said, Portland is war ravaged, as he put it,
but local leaders are, you know, a lot like what
we heard in La, claiming everything is stable and that
the local police can handle it. Tongue In is a
law professor Lewis and Clark University says, makes sense that
(03:12):
Oregon is looking to La now and that ruling that
found the troops to be illegal to say, you know, hey,
look see what the judge in LA said, and now
apply that to Oregon.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
In this instance, it completely makes sense that the Oregon
AG's office would say, hey, you know that ruling in
LA worked out really well. We want to just show
that we're just like that and hope that the judge
here will agree with the judges reasoning in LA.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
And John there were some marches and protests yesterday after
the agents began to come in. Portland police say that
they were mostly common orderly on Sunday. Two people arrested
pretty late last night when they began to fight outside
of the Ice building. But but Portland police say they
handled it and then they didn't need to stay there,
that they were out of there. So I mean, the
city's arguing a lot here and the president's arguing the
(03:56):
other side. But Title ten has been activated. Now two
under National Guard troops have been notified that they are
being called up. That is beyond what we have seen
in Memphis and in Chicago. That is why some people
are marching now that this woman was out there in
this instance, well, not that this woman.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
I believe in our city leaders and I believe in
our own citizenry to take care of our streets and
to take care of our communities, and it's a beautiful
place to live, so we don't need troops on our streets.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
And John the Oregon National Guard, put out a statement saying, quote,
please remember this is still us, your neighbors and your friends.
Our job is to protect Oregonians and defend national interests
when directed as we are now and quote different than
sometimes we hear from the military. You know, under the
direction of the president, we do as we're told. They're saying, Hey, look,
we're still your neighbors, your friends. Don't fight us as
they're going out. But now in Oregon, they're waiting to
(04:47):
see what's next. Is there going protests against the ice
raids or not? I mean, are they there or they're not?
I mean, yeah, well the president says they are. The
local government says that they have been thirty people or less,
and that did they feel like that this is theater?
I mean the argument that we heard in la as well,
when before things really began to take off, once troops
(05:08):
came in and more agents came in. Last night, it
was estimated around one hundred people were outside the Ice
Building protesting. Now again, the argument that the local government
is making is that the agents that have now flooded
into the city and they expect the troops to come
in as they're being activated, that they feel like that
that has amplified everything and pulled people to come out
(05:29):
and fight against And you know, like Seattle or Portland,
you've always got that you know, antifa antagonist element to
the crowd dressed all in black. I mean quite honestly,
we saw in La as well that would come out
at night time and create problems. So but then that
that feeds into the argument that they need the truth. Well,
these groups sending out their their members, you know, to
(05:51):
protest Trump is proving Trump right though. It's giving him
ammunition saying well look how look how bad it is. Yeah,
and maybe it's a response to true and it's also
making the point for Trump and say, well again, exact
same thing that happened in La once the crowds grew
bigger and became more violent. And if you remember, it
was the day that the National Guard arrived that the
(06:12):
things really took off downtown. And yet a lot of
the protesters who said, you know that they were here
to fight back against that, that that amplified thing. You know,
we've talked about it before. There is a current ideology
and you know thinking in law enforcement that to dampen
things down, that you put away the riot gear, you
(06:33):
put away the the camouflage, you put away the things
that are going to amp up a crowd, and if
you want to amp them up, you bring all that out. Now.
The other side of that is you got to be
ready and you got to be tough. And you know
you've heard the head of the Border Patrol saying, no,
we go in in full helmets and everything else to
show that we're here and we're going to take a stand.
Two different sides of you know, of law enforcement philosophy,
(06:55):
of which works better. The argument being made by East
organ authorities, whether it's accurate or not, is that this
is amping everybody up. The President says it's already been
amped up and that they've got to go in now
and calm it down. All right, Alex Stone, ABC News,
thank you, you got it. Next night on the Well,
(07:16):
there's ice agents in Portland and now there're BBB National
Guard troops to back them up. They say, to protect
federal buildings and federal agents and battling the protest crowds.
The people who show up for many of these things
around the country, and it's been this way for quite
a number of years, are upper middle class kids, rich kids.
(07:39):
Antifa is filled with rich kids. I've seen multiple stories
on this, especially on the West Coast, Seattle and Portland
and here in Los Angeles, the crazed activists trying to
defend the rights of the vagrants to live out in
the street. The The Free Press has a fascinating story
(08:05):
called the Revolt of the Rich Kids. Why are so
many of these modern day antifestyle protesters, these social protesters
who are carrying on against Trump, trying to protect homeless people,
trying to protect illegal aliens, or at least protesting against
laws being enforced against the homeless and illegal. Why they
(08:27):
come from somebody wealthy families? What is the psychological dynamic?
Talk about this when we come back. This is really
fascinating because these would be the kids if they were
in your town. It's like, well, they don't have to
worry about anything. They got it made in life. They're
going to be taken care of. Well, they're totally upending
(08:48):
the piece that they could have in their life and
choosing to embrace anarchy.
Speaker 5 (08:54):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
This is a very cool article. It's behind a paywall.
The Free Press is an increasingly popular media site, the
FP dot com, which you got to pay for it,
but I paid for it. And they've got some fascinating
stories and this one is called the Revolt of the
(09:25):
Rich Kids, and I saw this. Boy, it's got to
be when did Occupy Wall Street start? Like around twenty eleven. God,
it's been fourteen years of this nonsense where you have
these weird progressive demonstrations and the topic constantly changes. You know,
it went from Occupy Wall Street remember that that was
(09:46):
like twenty eleven, where people were upset about all the
money that was being made on Wall Street. You know
this this got started a few years earlier when we
had the mortgage meltdown and a whole generation of kids
came out of college and because there was a collapse,
(10:07):
economic collapse, there were no jobs for them, and they
had a lot of debt that they piled up in
college and it derailed their life. It had lingering effects
maybe until this day. They you know, This was the
generation that went right out of some good colleges straight
to Starbucks, and they felt angry and betrayed, and then
(10:31):
they started rebelling against their parents' wealth. It's a whole
complex psychology here against mommy and daddy. Mommy and daddy
who did well, and they've become really progressive, and they
join every whack job trend and you know whatever we're
(10:53):
supposed to protest this week. You know, they were there
for Black Lives Matter, you know, pro Palestine, climate change,
anti Trump. I'm the whole run everything. It's the same people. Oh.
Here in La we have our own peculiar breed who
fight to defend the rights of the vagrants. Take a
(11:15):
crap in the street. I remember this a few years
ago when it was Echo Park Lake, when that park
was overrun by hundreds of illegal aliens, and the people
who lived in the neighborhood were just screaming and pleading
for somebody to help, and they would get attacked by activists.
(11:38):
And these activists were the sons and daughters of wealthy
people like entertainment. I remember the leader of one of
these vagrant groups. He's a young kid and his dad
was some you know a whole Hollywood director, producer. He
had an Academy Award and produced kind of bizarre reaction
(12:01):
in his son because the sun is out in the streets,
screaming at the homeowners. We're upset with the vagrants living
in the park and all his friends, you know, and
they drive around an expensive cars and then they go
back to mommy and Daddy's palatial mansion at the end
of the protest day. And this has repeated itself over
(12:23):
and over to happen in Portland during those Antifa riots.
A lot of these young rich kids, and they've done
a study on them. They're whiter and wealthier and more
highly educated. Three times is likely to have a postgraduate degree.
They're angry because they're only in the ninetieth percent tile
(12:44):
rather than the ninety ninth percentile. Their lives are not
in the top one percent, it's the top ten percent,
and they don't know how to go any higher because
they bought into this myth that every generation is going
to do better than their parents. Well, at some point
obviously that's not true. Now it can be true for
any individual. But what they have found is there is
(13:09):
too many people who graduated with advanced college degrees and
not enough job openings for those people. So it's like
a game of musical chairs. If you're late, you're working
at Starbucks. And so they get really angry and full
of rage. According to this story, and it's called well,
(13:32):
they're called downwardly mobile instead of upwardly mobile. It's called
elite over production. It describes what happens when there are
more ambitious strivers than high status positions. And history, according
to the Free Press, shows that the people who lead
(13:57):
revolutions like Lenin, Stalin, mal Mussolini, Shea Gevera in Cuba
were all well educated and ambitious. They were close enough
to the ruling class to see its flaws, but excluded
enough to seethe with resentment. And those are the kids
who join Antifa. Those are the kids who are screaming
(14:17):
in the streets about ice and about the vagrants. People
who are in a higher socioeconomic status are more likely
to crave wealth, status, and prestige than those with less,
So it's the ones who are right at the cusp
(14:39):
who get the angriest if they don't get to the top,
Whereas the people in the middle class and below are
relatively content with what they have. A twenty twenty Berkeley
Cornell study said the affluent we're most likely to agree
with statements like I on a position of prestige. See,
(15:02):
even the money wasn't enough, you have to have a
prestigious position, you know, a big degree, a certain job
to lord over other people. Another study at the University
of Edinburgh found I'd never heard this phrase before, but
this really sums it up. Malicious envy, resentment at other
(15:23):
people's successes. That was the strongest predictor of support for
forcing redistribution of wealth, for being in favor of an
aggressive socialism or communism. Is if you made some money
(15:43):
but not enough money, you have some prestige but not enough,
you get this terrible resentment. So you think the people
who have the prestige and the money ought to have
some of it taken away and are to be given
away redistribution. I've got more on this when we come back,
(16:05):
because the when reality disappoints people with privilege, that's when
the rage boils over. And that's what you see acting
out in the streets. Because I've told you it's the
same people who show up at these protests over and
over again. They've created their own industry, and even the
(16:25):
police recognize these people. And it's generally young, wealthier white
guys and some white girls. It's not the poor, it's
not the lower middle class, the upper middle class and
the rich. More coming up.
Speaker 5 (16:43):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
Right every day one until four o'clock, and the podcast
is posted after for it's the same as the radio show.
Whatever you missed, you can hear it, and that's at John.
It's called what's it called. What's the name of the podcast? Oh,
John Cobalts Show on demand? That's right. Well, I was.
Speaker 6 (17:11):
Gonna give out social media.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
I'm laughing with you.
Speaker 6 (17:15):
I'm not laughing.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
Yes, you're laughing at you.
Speaker 6 (17:17):
No, I'm not because I do that too.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
When I go to the home your next.
Speaker 6 (17:22):
Okay, trust me, I'll probably be there before you.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
You're you're in the room down the hall. So we're
talking about the Free Press has this fascinating story on
the revolt of the rich kids. And I'm telling you,
this has been baffling me for like fifteen years. I've
talked about it from time to time, but I didn't
know the why. Necessarily it wasn't really explained. Now there's
been a lot of research papers on it. And the
baffling thing is, why is it so many white, wealthy,
(17:45):
white kids who do all this protesting, right, you see
protests about climate change. Actually, this is funny is you
don't see black, Hispanic Asian protesters for the most part,
any of these things. It's always white guys and some
white women almost always. Now they claim to be defending
(18:11):
minorities and the oppressed, but you don't see the minorities
and impressed very often in the protests, you know, starting
with Occupy Wall Street and uh, you know these these
these these homeless protests were all white people. A lot
of these immigration protests are white people. I always see
(18:33):
the video coverage, and why I don't think, you know,
they ought to get any coverage, because they're just representing
their own mental illness. They're representing their own weird issues
with their parents and their parents succeeding. I guess if
you have really successful parents, it's easy to fall short
and think you're a loser, and so these are this
(18:55):
is the rage of the losers who show up. Now,
this has been very common. They talk about Eleanor Roosevelt.
She was a very wealthy woman, an aristocrat, Franklin Delana,
Roosevelt's wife, and she spoke very warmly of communism, according
(19:17):
to the Free Press, calling the Soviets a positive force
in world affairs. During the Great Depression, a lot of
Ivy League graduates were into socialism and communism. These are
the people who got caught up in the Red Scare
of the nineteen fifties and they were streamed into Washington.
(19:39):
They were part of government, they were part of Hollywood.
Part of the appeal was guilt, but part was anxiety.
They felt that that their position in life was weakening,
and it made them angry. I'm not sure I follow
all this, but something this has gone on for decades
and decades. It says when reaction disappoints those raised in privilege,
(20:03):
the gap between their expectations and the outcome produces rage.
There's a type of study called behavioral economics. They has
long recognized this dynamic. Dynamic satisfaction depends less on how
much you have than on whether the outcome exceeded your expectations,
(20:28):
the outcome of what your life, the money, your prestige.
So if you were expected yes, if you were expecting
a lot of money, and you were going to live
in a fancy neighborhood and you're going to have a
nice title, and you didn't get it. You might still
have a lot of money and a good life, but
(20:49):
you didn't get what you thought you were entitled to.
And it makes you angry, and it's like you want
to burn the whole thing down, and you want to
take away the earnings of those who beat you to
it and start giving it away, giving it away to
poor people, the homeless, immigrants, whoever, as long as you're
(21:10):
punishing the successful. Much of the rhetoric of the last
fifteen years is punishing people who succeed, and it's often
the protests are driven by the children of successful people
who didn't quite make it themselves in the way they expected.
So they feel like a big loser and they're taking
(21:31):
out their psychological issues on everybody else. You know. So
they burned down Portland, you know, they shut down Seattle.
They cause all kinds of havoc here in Los Angeles,
and it's because they never processed that they didn't do
as well as mommy and daddy. I show me one
(21:52):
of these protests where it wasn't rich white kids, or
at least upper middle class rich white kids, almost all
of them. The higher the expectation, the sharper the disappointment.
They did a study. Sociologist Learn Rivera wrote a book
on this called Pedigree, and found that if you graduated
(22:14):
from a lesser ranked college but you got a job
at an elite firm, you're far happier than somebody from
Harvard or Stanford who landed the same jobs, because if
you came from a lesser college, it's like, whoo oo,
I beat the odds, I got my dream. But if
you got the job you were supposed to have, or
(22:36):
maybe a little less and you're from Harvard, it's like,
oh my god, what the hell happened? Who screwed me over?
And so you want to take their money and give
it away. If you're born to overachievers your parents, and
you're surrounded by overachievers, even if you do respectively respectably
(22:59):
in life and feel second rate, text somebody a sociologists
at Duke wrote a book or an investigation into why
many middle class kids who are fairly comfortable they eventually
falter in school and work. Entitlement drags them down because
(23:24):
they thought life was going to be easy, and then
they get to work, and you got to do projects
on time, and you got to put up with criticism,
you got to cooperate with other people. And they didn't
know that to be successful you have to work really
hard and put up with a lot of crap. They
didn't realize that's what their parents went through. But they
had such a gilded childhood where everything was taken because
(23:44):
they were pampered and taken care of. When they finally
get there, they're crazy with rage. They drop out in
some way. They drop out of school, they drop out
of their profession, they drop out of their parents' lifestyle,
and they join the Antifa style groups or occupied Wall Street,
and you know, then they're sitting in tents and they're
(24:06):
they're laying in their own feces in their tents. And
then they say, well, I'm just protecting the rights of
the homeless. I'm protecting the rights of the illegal immigrants.
It's like, no, you're not. You're having a massive temper
tantrum because life didn't turn out the way you thought
it would. And by the way, these people are in
their twenties, they don't want to work to get to
(24:29):
that top level. They thought it was going to be
handed to them when they were twenty five, and now
they're twenty nine or thirty, it's like, what the hell,
And they're all pissed with rages, so go back, go
back out there and work some more. And so I'm
so tired of seeing these people and their protests and
the media time they get, and the trouble they cause
they're always protesting, they're always tying up traffic, they're always
(24:51):
you know, like shooting at police. And it's just really
a bunch of spoiled babies, a bunch of spoiled rich
white kids who had every advantage in the world but
wasn't quite enough. And then we got to hear them
bitch and complain, We got to deal with all their
protest movements, and all their issue of the week is
like what is it now? Is it Occupy Wall Street?
(25:14):
Is it Trump? Is it police violence? Is it George Floyd?
Is it climate change? Is it Palestine? Is it illegal
aliens and honor? It's always something new. They never shut
the f up. Do they remember that? When you see
these groups and you see them lionized in the media,
(25:35):
and go look at them if you see one of
these protesters or on television, look at their faces. It's
coddled rich kids.
Speaker 5 (25:45):
You're listening to John cobelts on demand from KFI A sixty.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
Run every day from one until four o'clock and then
after four o'clock John Cobelt's show on demand coming up
after three o'clock news. Less than ten percent of the
homes that were destroyed in the Palisades and eaten flyers
have gotten permits to rebuild. That's those are the statistics.
You might hear a lot of propaganda, but right now
(26:14):
ninety percent of the people got burned out, and it's
we're almost nine months later, no permit yet. We'll tell
you more about it coming up. All right, I've made
clear I hate the Waymo cars, the driverless cars.
Speaker 6 (26:30):
I have seen so many. Remember I told you I
never really saw any. Well, I've been going to Century
City almost every night of the week.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
They're all over the West Side.
Speaker 6 (26:39):
Yes, every single day, at.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
Least two oh way Mo's owned by Google, and they
got they got some Some of their processing has gone
haywire because San Francisco Chronicle haze a story that in
San bru No up in the Bay Area. They were
doing dui enforcement looking for drunk drivers, and the officers
(27:07):
saw that one of Waymo's autonomous taxis made an illegal
U turn at a traffic light. Now the cops didn't
know it was a driverless car, so they went and
they stopped the car. I don't know how they got
it to stop, but they pulled it over and empty
(27:30):
driver's seat.
Speaker 6 (27:32):
That's so creepy.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
And there's nobody to give the ticket to because California
law does not allow moving violations to be written against
driverless cars, so if there's a faw in the coding,
Google doesn't have to pay the penalty. Did I tell
you about the driverless car that was blocking me in
(27:56):
a parking lot recently?
Speaker 6 (27:58):
I don't think so.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
So I Saturday afternoon, a couple of weeks ago, I'm
going for a Hamburger and there's a parking lot behind
the behind the restaurant. So I pull out of the
parking lot, and they've always had a couple of attendants
there because it's a parking lot used by about a
half a dozen businesses. And you got to get a ticket,
and if you get the ticket stamped, you get to
(28:22):
park there for a dollar. So I pull in and
there's a weymouth thing in front of me and it's
blocking my path. So the parking attendant, and it was
a young Asian woman. She stood in front of the
Waimo and she started waving it to come forward, come forward,
come forward, right, and weimo doesn't move. She then walks
(28:46):
over to the driver's side and looks in, peers in
to the window, walks back to the front and starts
waving again to get the Waimo to move. And I
finally got out of the car and I said, you know,
that's a driverless car. She goes, yeah, I know that,
(29:08):
but sometimes they have driver assists. Well, for driver assists,
you need a driver, right. She wasn't getting it, you know,
I understand the first time maybe she wasn't familiar with it,
But it was the second time after she looked inside
and she saw there was no There was no passenger,
there was no driver, there was nothing.
Speaker 6 (29:28):
So what does she think was gonna happen?
Speaker 1 (29:30):
I don't know, but she kept waving at it.
Speaker 6 (29:33):
Did it finally move?
Speaker 1 (29:36):
After a little while, it suddenly did a U turn
and went off. I guess it got a new customer. Oh,
it probably got a new fair and so it went
out to pick up the next person. But no, I've
seen this a couple of times when it's in between fairs.
It stops dead, and sometimes in inconvenient places. Now, my
(29:58):
wife and I I was gonna kill me for tell us.
We pulled into a parking lot near the beach on Saturday,
a public lot, and uh, it had a you know,
I had a parking booth, but nobody was manning the booth.
I guess the parking was free or you're you're on
the honor system. And this weymo stopped at the parking
(30:20):
booth entrance and just sat there blocking our entrance. Like
the Waymo didn't know what to do. It had nobody
in the car. Again, maybe it was programmed to stop
and pay. I don't know. I don't know how they
pay tolls. But anyway, we're blocked and my wife starts
honking at it.
Speaker 6 (30:39):
Does she know that it was triverless? I mean, those
Waymo cars are pretty obvious.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
Yeah, it's got that stupid thing on the top of it, right,
you know, this was this was as funny as the
woman who was waving it forward the underway. But you
think it hears.
Speaker 6 (30:57):
Maybe maybe I can understand that impulse because maybe the
way that it's been programmed that if somebody does honk
at it, it will make it move.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
Well, she just kept edging closer and closer to see
if she could scare. It's never a dull moment. We
had another Weimo on Sunset Boulevard in the left lane
and it was going twenty five miles an hour the
speed limit, and everybody else is going forty five point fifty.
And it created a hazard because suddenly, you know, all
(31:29):
these west side people they started zigging and zagging and
cutting each other off to pass up this weymo that
was jugging along at twenty five. And eventually the weimo
pulled over to the to the to the to the
right lane, and I thought, oh wow, how did did
it detect this? Or? And so we passed it. I
looked in it had a drive. It did this one
had a driver and he was going at twenty five
(31:51):
and causing a swarm of cars trying to pass him.
Speaker 6 (31:56):
Did you give him the finger?
Speaker 1 (31:58):
No, he'd looked really seedy. Maybe he stole it, I
mean maybe because he did not look like he should
be driving.
Speaker 6 (32:05):
The thing, and you don't.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
I mean, there aren't drivers.
Speaker 6 (32:09):
They're driverless cars, so why would somebody be.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
You can have a driver, but they've.
Speaker 6 (32:15):
Never gone in one, so.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
I'm never going in one. The thing. You can't have
a driver. But if he's not there, then he's not there.
Speaker 5 (32:28):
I get that.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
I understand. Well, the lady at the parking lot didn't
get it. My wife didn't get it either. All Right,
we come back. Ten percent of the people who had
their homes burned down in the Palisades and Altadena, ten
percent have gotten pyramids to rebuild it. Ninety percent of not.
We'll talk about that coming up. Debor Mark live in
(32:49):

six or you usually talkback feature on the iHeartRadio app.
(00:22):
Alex Stone's coming on here in uh, well, Trump is
invading Portland. He's got Ice invading Chicago. In fact, Ice
agents were seen on boats on the Chicago River. I
saw some photos of that. They already barged into Memphis
to try to stop all the crime there. And you
(00:46):
know that today took over Washington, d C. So Portland's next.
And Portland has a rich history of violence and protest
for over five years. Now, let's go to Alex Stone
and see what this is about here, Alex, what's going on?
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Hey?
Speaker 1 (01:01):
They're John? Yeah, Well, and Portland is saying, look, they've
had their time with Antifa and other things, and they
feel like right now is relatively common. You know, Memphis
and Chicago, they've been threatened with troops coming in. But
Chicago it seems like it's off the table now they've
had federal agents go in, but of actual troops and
not so much. And in Memphis they've got agents and
they're waiting to find out. It's been taunted for a
(01:24):
number of weeks now, and now Oregon looks like that
it may be go time because Title ten he's now
been activated for the Oregon National Guard, federalizing them like
what was done in LA. But a few minutes ago,
Oregon filed for a temporary injunction to prevent the president
from federalizing its National Guard and sending in troops, arguing
(01:45):
that he doesn't have the authority a lot of the
arguments we heard in LA doesn't have the authority to
do it without an insurrection being declared, And the state
is saying, by no means is an insurrection unfolding right now,
and that the federal agents that have now come in
over the weekend have actually antagonized and made the crowds
that were small get bigger according to the state, and
(02:07):
that arrests at protests have not unfolded for many months,
and that things have been very quiet. Oregon's Attorney General
arguing in.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
All this, this is a long line in a pattern
of behavior to expand the executive authority, and so I
think you'll continue to see lawsuits be filed as long
as the President wants to press the bounds of our democracy.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
So in their argument that they are focusing in on
the ruling in California when the federal judge found the
President Trump's deployment of federal troops in La and June
was illegal. That has been on hold and is going
back to the appellate court while the appellate court deals
with it, probably eventually will go to the Supreme Court.
But Oregon, he is arguing that the military rule is
what they say, incompatible with liberty and with democracy. That
(02:52):
the President said over the weekend on truth Social that
it's needed to protect federal agents who are in Portland.
He said, Portland is war ravaged, as he put it,
but local leaders are, you know, a lot like what
we heard in La, claiming everything is stable and that
the local police can handle it. Tongue In is a
law professor Lewis and Clark University says, makes sense that
(03:12):
Oregon is looking to La now and that ruling that
found the troops to be illegal to say, you know, hey,
look see what the judge in LA said, and now
apply that to Oregon.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
In this instance, it completely makes sense that the Oregon
AG's office would say, hey, you know that ruling in
LA worked out really well. We want to just show
that we're just like that and hope that the judge
here will agree with the judges reasoning in LA.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
And John there were some marches and protests yesterday after
the agents began to come in. Portland police say that
they were mostly common orderly on Sunday. Two people arrested
pretty late last night when they began to fight outside
of the Ice building. But but Portland police say they
handled it and then they didn't need to stay there,
that they were out of there. So I mean, the
city's arguing a lot here and the president's arguing the
(03:56):
other side. But Title ten has been activated. Now two
under National Guard troops have been notified that they are
being called up. That is beyond what we have seen
in Memphis and in Chicago. That is why some people
are marching now that this woman was out there in
this instance, well, not that this woman.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
I believe in our city leaders and I believe in
our own citizenry to take care of our streets and
to take care of our communities, and it's a beautiful
place to live, so we don't need troops on our streets.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
And John the Oregon National Guard, put out a statement saying, quote,
please remember this is still us, your neighbors and your friends.
Our job is to protect Oregonians and defend national interests
when directed as we are now and quote different than
sometimes we hear from the military. You know, under the
direction of the president, we do as we're told. They're saying, Hey, look,
we're still your neighbors, your friends. Don't fight us as
they're going out. But now in Oregon, they're waiting to
(04:47):
see what's next. Is there going protests against the ice
raids or not? I mean, are they there or they're not?
I mean, yeah, well the president says they are. The
local government says that they have been thirty people or less,
and that did they feel like that this is theater?
I mean the argument that we heard in la as well,
when before things really began to take off, once troops
(05:08):
came in and more agents came in. Last night, it
was estimated around one hundred people were outside the Ice
Building protesting. Now again, the argument that the local government
is making is that the agents that have now flooded
into the city and they expect the troops to come
in as they're being activated, that they feel like that
that has amplified everything and pulled people to come out
(05:29):
and fight against And you know, like Seattle or Portland,
you've always got that you know, antifa antagonist element to
the crowd dressed all in black. I mean quite honestly,
we saw in La as well that would come out
at night time and create problems. So but then that
that feeds into the argument that they need the truth. Well,
these groups sending out their their members, you know, to
(05:51):
protest Trump is proving Trump right though. It's giving him
ammunition saying well look how look how bad it is. Yeah,
and maybe it's a response to true and it's also
making the point for Trump and say, well again, exact
same thing that happened in La once the crowds grew
bigger and became more violent. And if you remember, it
was the day that the National Guard arrived that the
(06:12):
things really took off downtown. And yet a lot of
the protesters who said, you know that they were here
to fight back against that, that that amplified thing. You know,
we've talked about it before. There is a current ideology
and you know thinking in law enforcement that to dampen
things down, that you put away the riot gear, you
(06:33):
put away the the camouflage, you put away the things
that are going to amp up a crowd, and if
you want to amp them up, you bring all that out. Now.
The other side of that is you got to be
ready and you got to be tough. And you know
you've heard the head of the Border Patrol saying, no,
we go in in full helmets and everything else to
show that we're here and we're going to take a stand.
Two different sides of you know, of law enforcement philosophy,
(06:55):
of which works better. The argument being made by East
organ authorities, whether it's accurate or not, is that this
is amping everybody up. The President says it's already been
amped up and that they've got to go in now
and calm it down. All right, Alex Stone, ABC News,
thank you, you got it. Next night on the Well,
(07:16):
there's ice agents in Portland and now there're BBB National
Guard troops to back them up. They say, to protect
federal buildings and federal agents and battling the protest crowds.
The people who show up for many of these things
around the country, and it's been this way for quite
a number of years, are upper middle class kids, rich kids.
(07:39):
Antifa is filled with rich kids. I've seen multiple stories
on this, especially on the West Coast, Seattle and Portland
and here in Los Angeles, the crazed activists trying to
defend the rights of the vagrants to live out in
the street. The The Free Press has a fascinating story
(08:05):
called the Revolt of the Rich Kids. Why are so
many of these modern day antifestyle protesters, these social protesters
who are carrying on against Trump, trying to protect homeless people,
trying to protect illegal aliens, or at least protesting against
laws being enforced against the homeless and illegal. Why they
(08:27):
come from somebody wealthy families? What is the psychological dynamic?
Talk about this when we come back. This is really
fascinating because these would be the kids if they were
in your town. It's like, well, they don't have to
worry about anything. They got it made in life. They're
going to be taken care of. Well, they're totally upending
(08:48):
the piece that they could have in their life and
choosing to embrace anarchy.
Speaker 5 (08:54):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
This is a very cool article. It's behind a paywall.
The Free Press is an increasingly popular media site, the
FP dot com, which you got to pay for it,
but I paid for it. And they've got some fascinating
stories and this one is called the Revolt of the
(09:25):
Rich Kids, and I saw this. Boy, it's got to
be when did Occupy Wall Street start? Like around twenty eleven. God,
it's been fourteen years of this nonsense where you have
these weird progressive demonstrations and the topic constantly changes. You know,
it went from Occupy Wall Street remember that that was
(09:46):
like twenty eleven, where people were upset about all the
money that was being made on Wall Street. You know
this this got started a few years earlier when we
had the mortgage meltdown and a whole generation of kids
came out of college and because there was a collapse,
(10:07):
economic collapse, there were no jobs for them, and they
had a lot of debt that they piled up in
college and it derailed their life. It had lingering effects
maybe until this day. They you know, This was the
generation that went right out of some good colleges straight
to Starbucks, and they felt angry and betrayed, and then
(10:31):
they started rebelling against their parents' wealth. It's a whole
complex psychology here against mommy and daddy. Mommy and daddy
who did well, and they've become really progressive, and they
join every whack job trend and you know whatever we're
(10:53):
supposed to protest this week. You know, they were there
for Black Lives Matter, you know, pro Palestine, climate change,
anti Trump. I'm the whole run everything. It's the same people. Oh.
Here in La we have our own peculiar breed who
fight to defend the rights of the vagrants. Take a
(11:15):
crap in the street. I remember this a few years
ago when it was Echo Park Lake, when that park
was overrun by hundreds of illegal aliens, and the people
who lived in the neighborhood were just screaming and pleading
for somebody to help, and they would get attacked by activists.
(11:38):
And these activists were the sons and daughters of wealthy
people like entertainment. I remember the leader of one of
these vagrant groups. He's a young kid and his dad
was some you know a whole Hollywood director, producer. He
had an Academy Award and produced kind of bizarre reaction
(12:01):
in his son because the sun is out in the streets,
screaming at the homeowners. We're upset with the vagrants living
in the park and all his friends, you know, and
they drive around an expensive cars and then they go
back to mommy and Daddy's palatial mansion at the end
of the protest day. And this has repeated itself over
(12:23):
and over to happen in Portland during those Antifa riots.
A lot of these young rich kids, and they've done
a study on them. They're whiter and wealthier and more
highly educated. Three times is likely to have a postgraduate degree.
They're angry because they're only in the ninetieth percent tile
(12:44):
rather than the ninety ninth percentile. Their lives are not
in the top one percent, it's the top ten percent,
and they don't know how to go any higher because
they bought into this myth that every generation is going
to do better than their parents. Well, at some point
obviously that's not true. Now it can be true for
any individual. But what they have found is there is
(13:09):
too many people who graduated with advanced college degrees and
not enough job openings for those people. So it's like
a game of musical chairs. If you're late, you're working
at Starbucks. And so they get really angry and full
of rage. According to this story, and it's called well,
(13:32):
they're called downwardly mobile instead of upwardly mobile. It's called
elite over production. It describes what happens when there are
more ambitious strivers than high status positions. And history, according
to the Free Press, shows that the people who lead
(13:57):
revolutions like Lenin, Stalin, mal Mussolini, Shea Gevera in Cuba
were all well educated and ambitious. They were close enough
to the ruling class to see its flaws, but excluded
enough to seethe with resentment. And those are the kids
who join Antifa. Those are the kids who are screaming
(14:17):
in the streets about ice and about the vagrants. People
who are in a higher socioeconomic status are more likely
to crave wealth, status, and prestige than those with less,
So it's the ones who are right at the cusp
(14:39):
who get the angriest if they don't get to the top,
Whereas the people in the middle class and below are
relatively content with what they have. A twenty twenty Berkeley
Cornell study said the affluent we're most likely to agree
with statements like I on a position of prestige. See,
(15:02):
even the money wasn't enough, you have to have a
prestigious position, you know, a big degree, a certain job
to lord over other people. Another study at the University
of Edinburgh found I'd never heard this phrase before, but
this really sums it up. Malicious envy, resentment at other
(15:23):
people's successes. That was the strongest predictor of support for
forcing redistribution of wealth, for being in favor of an
aggressive socialism or communism. Is if you made some money
(15:43):
but not enough money, you have some prestige but not enough,
you get this terrible resentment. So you think the people
who have the prestige and the money ought to have
some of it taken away and are to be given
away redistribution. I've got more on this when we come back,
(16:05):
because the when reality disappoints people with privilege, that's when
the rage boils over. And that's what you see acting
out in the streets. Because I've told you it's the
same people who show up at these protests over and
over again. They've created their own industry, and even the
(16:25):
police recognize these people. And it's generally young, wealthier white
guys and some white girls. It's not the poor, it's
not the lower middle class, the upper middle class and
the rich. More coming up.
Speaker 5 (16:43):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
Right every day one until four o'clock, and the podcast
is posted after for it's the same as the radio show.
Whatever you missed, you can hear it, and that's at John.
It's called what's it called. What's the name of the podcast? Oh,
John Cobalts Show on demand? That's right. Well, I was.
Speaker 6 (17:11):
Gonna give out social media.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
I'm laughing with you.
Speaker 6 (17:15):
I'm not laughing.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
Yes, you're laughing at you.
Speaker 6 (17:17):
No, I'm not because I do that too.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
When I go to the home your next.
Speaker 6 (17:22):
Okay, trust me, I'll probably be there before you.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
You're you're in the room down the hall. So we're
talking about the Free Press has this fascinating story on
the revolt of the rich kids. And I'm telling you,
this has been baffling me for like fifteen years. I've
talked about it from time to time, but I didn't
know the why. Necessarily it wasn't really explained. Now there's
been a lot of research papers on it. And the
baffling thing is, why is it so many white, wealthy,
(17:45):
white kids who do all this protesting, right, you see
protests about climate change. Actually, this is funny is you
don't see black, Hispanic Asian protesters for the most part,
any of these things. It's always white guys and some
white women almost always. Now they claim to be defending
(18:11):
minorities and the oppressed, but you don't see the minorities
and impressed very often in the protests, you know, starting
with Occupy Wall Street and uh, you know these these
these these homeless protests were all white people. A lot
of these immigration protests are white people. I always see
(18:33):
the video coverage, and why I don't think, you know,
they ought to get any coverage, because they're just representing
their own mental illness. They're representing their own weird issues
with their parents and their parents succeeding. I guess if
you have really successful parents, it's easy to fall short
and think you're a loser, and so these are this
(18:55):
is the rage of the losers who show up. Now,
this has been very common. They talk about Eleanor Roosevelt.
She was a very wealthy woman, an aristocrat, Franklin Delana,
Roosevelt's wife, and she spoke very warmly of communism, according
(19:17):
to the Free Press, calling the Soviets a positive force
in world affairs. During the Great Depression, a lot of
Ivy League graduates were into socialism and communism. These are
the people who got caught up in the Red Scare
of the nineteen fifties and they were streamed into Washington.
(19:39):
They were part of government, they were part of Hollywood.
Part of the appeal was guilt, but part was anxiety.
They felt that that their position in life was weakening,
and it made them angry. I'm not sure I follow
all this, but something this has gone on for decades
and decades. It says when reaction disappoints those raised in privilege,
(20:03):
the gap between their expectations and the outcome produces rage.
There's a type of study called behavioral economics. They has
long recognized this dynamic. Dynamic satisfaction depends less on how
much you have than on whether the outcome exceeded your expectations,
(20:28):
the outcome of what your life, the money, your prestige.
So if you were expected yes, if you were expecting
a lot of money, and you were going to live
in a fancy neighborhood and you're going to have a
nice title, and you didn't get it. You might still
have a lot of money and a good life, but
(20:49):
you didn't get what you thought you were entitled to.
And it makes you angry, and it's like you want
to burn the whole thing down, and you want to
take away the earnings of those who beat you to
it and start giving it away, giving it away to
poor people, the homeless, immigrants, whoever, as long as you're
(21:10):
punishing the successful. Much of the rhetoric of the last
fifteen years is punishing people who succeed, and it's often
the protests are driven by the children of successful people
who didn't quite make it themselves in the way they expected.
So they feel like a big loser and they're taking
(21:31):
out their psychological issues on everybody else. You know. So
they burned down Portland, you know, they shut down Seattle.
They cause all kinds of havoc here in Los Angeles,
and it's because they never processed that they didn't do
as well as mommy and daddy. I show me one
(21:52):
of these protests where it wasn't rich white kids, or
at least upper middle class rich white kids, almost all
of them. The higher the expectation, the sharper the disappointment.
They did a study. Sociologist Learn Rivera wrote a book
on this called Pedigree, and found that if you graduated
(22:14):
from a lesser ranked college but you got a job
at an elite firm, you're far happier than somebody from
Harvard or Stanford who landed the same jobs, because if
you came from a lesser college, it's like, whoo oo,
I beat the odds, I got my dream. But if
you got the job you were supposed to have, or
(22:36):
maybe a little less and you're from Harvard, it's like,
oh my god, what the hell happened? Who screwed me over?
And so you want to take their money and give
it away. If you're born to overachievers your parents, and
you're surrounded by overachievers, even if you do respectively respectably
(22:59):
in life and feel second rate, text somebody a sociologists
at Duke wrote a book or an investigation into why
many middle class kids who are fairly comfortable they eventually
falter in school and work. Entitlement drags them down because
(23:24):
they thought life was going to be easy, and then
they get to work, and you got to do projects
on time, and you got to put up with criticism,
you got to cooperate with other people. And they didn't
know that to be successful you have to work really
hard and put up with a lot of crap. They
didn't realize that's what their parents went through. But they
had such a gilded childhood where everything was taken because
(23:44):
they were pampered and taken care of. When they finally
get there, they're crazy with rage. They drop out in
some way. They drop out of school, they drop out
of their profession, they drop out of their parents' lifestyle,
and they join the Antifa style groups or occupied Wall Street,
and you know, then they're sitting in tents and they're
(24:06):
they're laying in their own feces in their tents. And
then they say, well, I'm just protecting the rights of
the homeless. I'm protecting the rights of the illegal immigrants.
It's like, no, you're not. You're having a massive temper
tantrum because life didn't turn out the way you thought
it would. And by the way, these people are in
their twenties, they don't want to work to get to
(24:29):
that top level. They thought it was going to be
handed to them when they were twenty five, and now
they're twenty nine or thirty, it's like, what the hell,
And they're all pissed with rages, so go back, go
back out there and work some more. And so I'm
so tired of seeing these people and their protests and
the media time they get, and the trouble they cause
they're always protesting, they're always tying up traffic, they're always
(24:51):
you know, like shooting at police. And it's just really
a bunch of spoiled babies, a bunch of spoiled rich
white kids who had every advantage in the world but
wasn't quite enough. And then we got to hear them
bitch and complain, We got to deal with all their
protest movements, and all their issue of the week is
like what is it now? Is it Occupy Wall Street?
(25:14):
Is it Trump? Is it police violence? Is it George Floyd?
Is it climate change? Is it Palestine? Is it illegal
aliens and honor? It's always something new. They never shut
the f up. Do they remember that? When you see
these groups and you see them lionized in the media,
(25:35):
and go look at them if you see one of
these protesters or on television, look at their faces. It's
coddled rich kids.
Speaker 5 (25:45):
You're listening to John cobelts on demand from KFI A sixty.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
Run every day from one until four o'clock and then
after four o'clock John Cobelt's show on demand coming up
after three o'clock news. Less than ten percent of the
homes that were destroyed in the Palisades and eaten flyers
have gotten permits to rebuild. That's those are the statistics.
You might hear a lot of propaganda, but right now
(26:14):
ninety percent of the people got burned out, and it's
we're almost nine months later, no permit yet. We'll tell
you more about it coming up. All right, I've made
clear I hate the Waymo cars, the driverless cars.
Speaker 6 (26:30):
I have seen so many. Remember I told you I
never really saw any. Well, I've been going to Century
City almost every night of the week.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
They're all over the West Side.
Speaker 6 (26:39):
Yes, every single day, at.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
Least two oh way Mo's owned by Google, and they
got they got some Some of their processing has gone
haywire because San Francisco Chronicle haze a story that in
San bru No up in the Bay Area. They were
doing dui enforcement looking for drunk drivers, and the officers
(27:07):
saw that one of Waymo's autonomous taxis made an illegal
U turn at a traffic light. Now the cops didn't
know it was a driverless car, so they went and
they stopped the car. I don't know how they got
it to stop, but they pulled it over and empty
(27:30):
driver's seat.
Speaker 6 (27:32):
That's so creepy.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
And there's nobody to give the ticket to because California
law does not allow moving violations to be written against
driverless cars, so if there's a faw in the coding,
Google doesn't have to pay the penalty. Did I tell
you about the driverless car that was blocking me in
(27:56):
a parking lot recently?
Speaker 6 (27:58):
I don't think so.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
So I Saturday afternoon, a couple of weeks ago, I'm
going for a Hamburger and there's a parking lot behind
the behind the restaurant. So I pull out of the
parking lot, and they've always had a couple of attendants
there because it's a parking lot used by about a
half a dozen businesses. And you got to get a ticket,
and if you get the ticket stamped, you get to
(28:22):
park there for a dollar. So I pull in and
there's a weymouth thing in front of me and it's
blocking my path. So the parking attendant, and it was
a young Asian woman. She stood in front of the
Waimo and she started waving it to come forward, come forward,
come forward, right, and weimo doesn't move. She then walks
(28:46):
over to the driver's side and looks in, peers in
to the window, walks back to the front and starts
waving again to get the Waimo to move. And I
finally got out of the car and I said, you know,
that's a driverless car. She goes, yeah, I know that,
(29:08):
but sometimes they have driver assists. Well, for driver assists,
you need a driver, right. She wasn't getting it, you know,
I understand the first time maybe she wasn't familiar with it,
But it was the second time after she looked inside
and she saw there was no There was no passenger,
there was no driver, there was nothing.
Speaker 6 (29:28):
So what does she think was gonna happen?
Speaker 1 (29:30):
I don't know, but she kept waving at it.
Speaker 6 (29:33):
Did it finally move?
Speaker 1 (29:36):
After a little while, it suddenly did a U turn
and went off. I guess it got a new customer. Oh,
it probably got a new fair and so it went
out to pick up the next person. But no, I've
seen this a couple of times when it's in between fairs.
It stops dead, and sometimes in inconvenient places. Now, my
(29:58):
wife and I I was gonna kill me for tell us.
We pulled into a parking lot near the beach on Saturday,
a public lot, and uh, it had a you know,
I had a parking booth, but nobody was manning the booth.
I guess the parking was free or you're you're on
the honor system. And this weymo stopped at the parking
(30:20):
booth entrance and just sat there blocking our entrance. Like
the Waymo didn't know what to do. It had nobody
in the car. Again, maybe it was programmed to stop
and pay. I don't know. I don't know how they
pay tolls. But anyway, we're blocked and my wife starts
honking at it.
Speaker 6 (30:39):
Does she know that it was triverless? I mean, those
Waymo cars are pretty obvious.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
Yeah, it's got that stupid thing on the top of it, right,
you know, this was this was as funny as the
woman who was waving it forward the underway. But you
think it hears.
Speaker 6 (30:57):
Maybe maybe I can understand that impulse because maybe the
way that it's been programmed that if somebody does honk
at it, it will make it move.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
Well, she just kept edging closer and closer to see
if she could scare. It's never a dull moment. We
had another Weimo on Sunset Boulevard in the left lane
and it was going twenty five miles an hour the
speed limit, and everybody else is going forty five point fifty.
And it created a hazard because suddenly, you know, all
(31:29):
these west side people they started zigging and zagging and
cutting each other off to pass up this weymo that
was jugging along at twenty five. And eventually the weimo
pulled over to the to the to the to the
right lane, and I thought, oh wow, how did did
it detect this? Or? And so we passed it. I
looked in it had a drive. It did this one
had a driver and he was going at twenty five
(31:51):
and causing a swarm of cars trying to pass him.
Speaker 6 (31:56):
Did you give him the finger?
Speaker 1 (31:58):
No, he'd looked really seedy. Maybe he stole it, I
mean maybe because he did not look like he should
be driving.
Speaker 6 (32:05):
The thing, and you don't.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
I mean, there aren't drivers.
Speaker 6 (32:09):
They're driverless cars, so why would somebody be.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
You can have a driver, but they've.
Speaker 6 (32:15):
Never gone in one, so.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
I'm never going in one. The thing. You can't have
a driver. But if he's not there, then he's not there.
Speaker 5 (32:28):
I get that.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
I understand. Well, the lady at the parking lot didn't
get it. My wife didn't get it either. All Right,
we come back. Ten percent of the people who had
their homes burned down in the Palisades and Altadena, ten
percent have gotten pyramids to rebuild it. Ninety percent of not.
We'll talk about that coming up. Debor Mark live in
