Speaker 1 (00:00):
Can I am six forty you're listening to the John
Cobelt Podcast on the iHeartRadio app. We're on every day
one until four o'clock and after four o'clock John Cobelt
Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. It's the podcast,
and you could hear what you missed. Special attention to
the two o'clock hour because we had two professors on,
(00:21):
Michael MChE from USC and we also had James Rector
from UC Berkeley, and they were on to explain how
with two refineries closing in California in a matter of months,
we are going to possibly hit eight dollars a gallon
in gas next year, and we're losing twenty one percent
(00:43):
of our gas refinery capacity, and we have lost already
sixty five percent of our oil production capacity. And Newsom
is cornered on this. There is very little he can
do to change this. It's going to be very expensive
to try to get out of it, and we're going
to have to import enormous amounts of oil from foreign countries,
(01:06):
countries that are communist dictatorships or terrorist nations to get
their oil and ship it all around the world in
ocean tankers and it's going to be expensive, it's going
to add a lot of unnecessary pollution to the atmosphere.
(01:26):
And all this, all this oil regulation and taxes, has
done nothing for the environment, done nothing for the climates,
because everything that we don't make produce here anymore is
more than offset by having to import it from far
away places. It is absolutely the stupidest policy that any
(01:47):
state has ever engaged in. And Newsom is now in
a lot of Trump because the oil companies are getting
out of the oil business here in California.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
And you'll hear a lot about this the next six months.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Let's go to State Senator Tony Strickland, despite his incompetence,
despite his pathological lying, when Newsom says, vote for a
Prop fifty and get rid of the Independent Redistricting Commission
so his buddies can draw the lines. People are going
for it sixty to thirty eight according to this Berkeley poll.
(02:23):
And he does it just by magical incantation. He just
says Trump over and over and over again until people
start frothing at the mouth and their heads starts spitting around.
Let's get Tony Strickland on Republican from Manhattan Beach. How
are you Tony, Hi?
Speaker 3 (02:40):
How's it going, John? How are you doing?
Speaker 2 (02:42):
I'm fine.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Well, it's sixty thirty eight according to Berkeley, and they're
probably not wrong.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
Well I would say, I agree that we're down, but
I don't believe these polls. John. I mean, if the
polls were at accurate, Kamala Harris will be president. And
I remember during the.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Wait a second all time, Yes twelve, the polls had
Trunk winning maybe a couple of points. Okay, they were
a few points off. This is twenty two and there's
like three or four of them.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
No, I don't doubt they We're down. I don't doubt
what we're down. No, it wasn't a.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Bunch of a campaign here on the part of the Republicans.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
No, you're You're absolutely right. You're absolutely right. The Republicans
didn't raise the kind of resources and the kind of
ads that came out were not as good. But I
will say that Governor Newsom is very good about misleading
and lying to the people of California. And every argument
that I have about why to vote no on Top
fifty was in the f ad. It said that they
(03:44):
were going to preserve the Redistricting Commission which they're getting
rid of. It also said it takes power away from
the politicians, which it doesn't. It gives them the power.
And I have to just put a warning sign to everybody.
Once you get power to the politicians, they're not going
to give it up. They're going to come turn around
and try to do it again in twenty thirty. As
(04:04):
role Reagan said, there's nothing more plument than a temporary
government program.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
You're right on this proposition. He is disastrous in so
many ways. Newsome and people are listening to him, and
they're not listening to your side very much at all.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
You just have the people who always vote on your side.
Why is this.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
Well, I think he's put again. I think he's been
putting hundreds of millions of dollars confusing the people. And
I also believe this is going to be one incredibly
low turnout election. People just I'm walking toward a door
every weekend, John, and a lot of people don't even
know this election is going to happen. I guarantee you
it's not gonna be a high turnout. It's gonna be
around a fifty percent turnout, and it's the only thing
(04:48):
on the ballot and a lot of folks are confused
about voting yes or no, because again he's saying he's
getting rid of the Independent Commission when he's just doing
the opposite. And millions of dollars a push behind his ads.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Yeah, and the and but the ads largely focus on
on on Trump.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
No.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
And they did a good job. They did a good
job at making this a partisan anti Trump thing. But
I always tell my Democratic friends, be careful what you
asked for, you just might get it. Because what's gonna
end up happening is now Ohio, Florida, Indiana, all these
other states they are going to follow California. They're going
to rig the election there, and you know we're gonna
(05:31):
have predetermined elections across the country. Trump and the Republicans
republic take up twenty five seats. But it's bad for California.
It's bad for America. They have predetermined elections.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
No, I think it's bad. It's bad that both sides
are doing it. It was bad in tax agree.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
It's worse here because I live here and now the
Republicans are Do you think they're really going to go
through these Republican states?
Speaker 5 (05:51):
I do?
Speaker 2 (05:51):
They fight back? I do, and rig their redistricting lines.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
I do, and and I firmly believe that because a
lot of the National Republicans did not help fundraising. Because
at the end of the day, a seat in California
is worth the same as a seat in Florida or
in Ohio. And if every state starts moving forward and
predeterminate elections and rig these elections, the Republicans will pick
up twenty five to thirty seats. And I told my
(06:16):
Democratic trends this be careful what you ask for, you
just might get it.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Well if that happens, and then Newsom would have this
plan would have backfired on him because the Republicans will
a lot more seats to pick up by redrawing the lines.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
I think it will backfire on him. And again, it's
bad for our democracy. It's terrible. People just have to
earn the vote of the people who not have predetermined elections.
It's just bad for democracy.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Now, I think.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
I think it's terrible that people who've had a certain
party representing them for a long time and they liked
the representation. They've had the same congress person for many years,
and suddenly it's been ripped away from them to help
boost new some Democratic primary chances. Basically, that's what this
all is in service of his presidential campaign.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
This is nothing but for his presidential campaign is he's
the anti Trump so he can win the Democratic nomination.
That's why we're going through this process.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Do you think being anti Trump flies when he's not
going to be running against Trump?
Speaker 3 (07:21):
I think on there's some Trump's arrangement syndrome on the
other side, and whoever is the loudest against Donald Trump
on the Democratic side will end up trying to get
that nomination. And that's why one I also believe the
reason why he's out Look, it's the worst kept secret
in the world that he's running for president. He's been
doing for the last three years. But the reason why
he's now getting even more aggressive is he's trying to
(07:43):
freeze out Kamala Harris from her running because they come
from the same fundraising base in the Bay Area and
the same kind of base, and so he's trying to
get ahead of her and trying to you know, take
that mantle to run for president.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
It can't get more absurd. The news and Kamala Harris
fighting each other to run for president.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
Well, I couldn't agree more so my friends and other
parts of the country. Look what it costs for electricity here,
Look what it costs for gasoline here, and say do
you want that to come to your state? It is unbelievable.
How bad of a job he's done. Only in politics
can he do a bad job and try to blame
someone else for your poor, poor lack of leadership?
Speaker 1 (08:24):
All right, Tony Strickland, State Senator from Manhattan, meetchs, thank you.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
For coming on.
Speaker 6 (08:30):
Wait?
Speaker 3 (08:30):
Please, are you hunting to.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Huntington Beach?
Speaker 3 (08:34):
Sorry, I'm hunting to beat. I put you on the
wrong overlying. No, that's all, yeah, honey to beat.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Yeah, I scrap every day here. All right, thanks a lot, Tony.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
Thanks for having me on. I really appreciate.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Okay, Tony Strickland, State Senator.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
When we come back first of two rounds on the
moist line and after three point thirty, I is juicy.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
You know, Prince Andrew is no longer prince. His brother,
King Charles has stripped him of his prince title and
kicked him out of his royal lodging. He's now an
ordinary British citizen and now people are leaking really crazy stories.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
There's a lot of stamina.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
I don't know how he does this, but the story is,
according to his biographer, Prince Andrew once had forty prostitutes
brought to Thailand to a hotel paid for by the
British taxpayers.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Forty of them. They're not all for him. He brought
his friends, he shares. We'll talk more about it coming up.
Speaker 7 (09:51):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
It's time for the moist Line. If you want, you know,
call in for next. Well might be a little bit
for a while before we have the next boy.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Slide, but right out the boys, fine, round one, let's go.
Speaker 8 (10:10):
It's Sean.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Thanks for calling the moistline.
Speaker 9 (10:12):
I'm so excited to hear from you. It's about time.
Speaker 8 (10:15):
It's pretty scary everything that's been happening.
Speaker 10 (10:18):
Yeah, something needs to be done about it, and something
needs to be done.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
About it real soon.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
The whole problem here is the government.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
It doesn't matter if it's a democratic government or if
it's a republican government.
Speaker 9 (10:30):
It's the government.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
They need the drugs for big Pharma, and they need
cheap labor.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
The United States loves chief labor.
Speaker 11 (10:38):
I'm former military, have my CDF over ten years. Put
my military time with it. That's over twenty some years driving.
I've known guys who filed that test three times and
then they had to come back after.
Speaker 9 (10:49):
Cool off period.
Speaker 11 (10:50):
If you can't pass the average test, you cannot move
on to the driving test. This is ridiculous Newsome needs
to be out of office period, need be charged with murder.
Speaker 6 (11:00):
I had to walk in the street to go around
a homeless camp. I twisted my glitch and almost got
hit by a girl in the tessela on her phone.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
Because she swerved and didn't see me.
Speaker 6 (11:11):
Second, I walked across the street to the bus station.
Later on that day, my walker hit a hole and
I felt I'm suing the city.
Speaker 12 (11:20):
It probably took so long to figure out who they
were because they're the people responsible for processing all of
the claims. They're not going to drop themselves out.
Speaker 13 (11:30):
Regarding that big truck crash. We have to go after
the companies that are hiring these people. You would have
to sue the companies through the trucking company who who
was ever hiring these people? Forget the state and said
arguing who gave them more license or a permit or whatever?
(11:53):
We have to sue the companies.
Speaker 8 (11:55):
Yeah, I mean he looks presidential Donald Trumps. It's the Presidentice.
Now they'very dumb person in the world. I think now
they've become president.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
Now we have with dumb as president.
Speaker 8 (12:08):
Doom, d dom, d dom.
Speaker 4 (12:10):
Look at me, I'm walking up a hill.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
Oh there used to be.
Speaker 4 (12:14):
A fire here a couple of days ago. Oh look
it's smoking. Let me take a selfie and see how
many likes I get called the fire department. Oh no,
I need to get my likes.
Speaker 10 (12:28):
When in the history of the world has a government
taken responsibility for some kind of tragic accident.
Speaker 8 (12:36):
Or situation because.
Speaker 10 (12:38):
That then acknowledges that they're at faults, and now they're liable,
and now they owe you millions, if not billions of dollars,
and they're hoping that in your investigation you will not
be able to figure.
Speaker 8 (12:52):
Out who's it fault. It's sickening to me. I hate
this country.
Speaker 14 (12:57):
I have the why as to why Newsom is running
for president.
Speaker 10 (13:02):
Why just wreck a.
Speaker 14 (13:04):
State when you can wreck a whole country. So he's
going to turn the whole country into California. God help
us all. He must be stopped.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
The governor and the mayor.
Speaker 8 (13:15):
They're the ultimates and the ultimate responsibility for the fire.
They're totally incompetent people.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
Why doesn't the press call loose him out on his
lives right when he says them? He should be called
out on him right then and there. I'm sick and
tired of the lies.
Speaker 14 (13:32):
Once they fence it off, then the almost will move in.
They will guard defense and not let anybody else in,
so the city or state or county for whoever won't
have to take care of me.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
After hearing Katie Porter talk, I mean, a hot, scalding
pot of potatoes on the head is a small price.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
To pay to get away from that.
Speaker 15 (13:56):
What do you think it's like if he forgets to
bring the trash cans in on time?
Speaker 13 (14:00):
I'm curious about these homeless shelters for the people with
mental issues. We're going to have metal therapists there and
we're going to have security there.
Speaker 5 (14:12):
But this is the thing.
Speaker 13 (14:13):
People I want to get rid of the police, or
they want to cut down amount of police, but we're
gonna have security there. What happened to when the metal
therapists go home?
Speaker 14 (14:22):
Isn't interesting?
Speaker 4 (14:23):
How Gavin is trying to separate himself from being wealthy
and being one of the regular folks.
Speaker 8 (14:28):
Didn't he just buy a mansioned somewhere up north.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Of San Francisco.
Speaker 8 (14:32):
Thank you for leaving nine million dollars.
Speaker 5 (14:35):
Yeah, goodbye.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
That's some moistline.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
Another round coming up in about about twenty five minutes, right, yeah,
uh yeah. There were a few fire mentions there, because
the big story this week was LA firefighters had been
sending text messages and La Times got a hold of them,
and the firefighters said that they were telling their what
(14:59):
was the battalion chief that, hey, there's there's a lot
of smoldering going on here, you know, wisps of smoke.
This was the day after the January first fire. And
the tree stumps were hot, and the rocks were hot,
and the smoldering was coming from the ground and the debris,
and the the battalion chief said, well, roll up the hoses.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
We're leaving. That was his direct order.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
Jennifer Van Lahar from RedState dot Com wrote a piece
today and she quoted Spencer Pratt. I don't know if
you've seen his stuff online. Spencer Pratt is a reality star.
His home burned to the ground and he has turned
into a fiery activist. He received a message from a
(15:49):
firefighter which he has posted, and Spencer Pratt has written
For anyone who doubted that firefighters did not want to
leave the Lockman fire, but were ordered to leave, we
told you this week's ago. A firefighter wrote to him,
in part quote, there were several hot spots and it
(16:12):
was definitely still smoldering. Tons of smoldering tree stumps still
remained that needed to be dug out and water applied.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
I believe a.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Hand crew needed to come in and mop up the
whole area with water. I just wanted to let you know,
so you have the truth. I had a chief walk
by me that day and I showed him a hotspot.
He said it was good enough, and we continued to
pick the hose. We continued to pick all the hoses up.
I was using water that was draining out of the
(16:43):
hose to put red hot coals out. I couldn't believe
we walked away from that burn scar the way it
was to follow that, He's pointing to the chief showing
him the hotspot, and the chief said, O, it's good enough.
Keep picking up the hose, and so the last water
draining out of the hose. This firefighter tried to put
(17:04):
the red hot coals out, the red hot coals out,
but he and the other firefighters were forced to leave
by their bosses. We come back this Prince Andrew no
longer a prince. Oh my god. You know, somebody asked me, what,
(17:24):
why do you Why did Charles finally get rid of him?
Speaker 8 (17:27):
Now?
Speaker 1 (17:28):
I think there were more horrible stories coming and Charles
got ahead of it.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Horrible story number one.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
And we've got a pretty funny podcast to play for
you about this incident.
Speaker 7 (17:39):
You're listening to John Cobel's on demand from KFI AM
six forty second.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
Round of the Moist Line coming up next segment. Oh,
by the way, we put our our highlight segments on YouTube.
Speaker 5 (17:52):
Now.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
You can subscribe on YouTube.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
YouTube dot com slash at John Cobelt's show. That's slightly
different than all the other social media YouTube dot com
slash at John Cobelt's show. Go there, subscribe on YouTube,
and every day we put up a little you know,
video segment.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Just because you can't get enough of this right, all right?
You ready for this one? This just.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
Was put on the La Time site less than an
hour ago. Karen Bass has requested a full investigation.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Into why firefighters were ordered.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
To leave the smoldering burn area the day after the
New Year's fire. Calls it tremendously alarming. Had she stayed
in the country. What she should have done as mayor
is convened a meeting with her fire chief Kristin Crowley
(18:54):
and others, and they should have said, Okay, we had
a fire in the Palisades the other day. Is that
still a hotspot? It's only two days later. That's what
she should have done.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
Better late than ever.
Speaker 8 (19:06):
John.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
On October thirty first, ten months later, she wrote a
letter to fire Chief Interim Fire Chief Ronnie Vianueva, who
claimed that the fire was completely out.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
She asked that he thoroughly investigate this report.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
A full understanding of the lockmand fire response is essential
to an accurate accounting of what occurred during the January wildfires. God,
if you'd only shown interest back on January second, steadying
and she was still here, then didn't float off to
Ghana yet, let.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
Me see blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
And it goes through all the latest revelations that we
went through yesterday. Today, a lawyer who lost his home
in Malibu. So E Randall Schoenberg says he is correct.
This Palisades fire was totally preventable. He says that the
fire department's review of its own actions ignore the mistakes
(20:15):
that require the most scrutiny, what was and what wasn't
done between January first and January seventh. He says, there's
nothing in the after action report that would stop this
from happening again.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
Nothing.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
The only issue is they wouldn't have made a difference
in this fire, and it won't make a difference in
the next fire if we allow it to start it
this way. In other words, if you're not gonna address
the hotspots and not going to communicate about the hotspots,
then you're going to have fires happen again like this,
where they get rekindled and they go crazy.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
The one thing.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
They could have done is sit on the January first fire,
make sure it didn't rekindle. It wouldn't have cost him anything,
and all six thousand homes would have been saved. Yes,
that's true. That's the legacy here. The entire fire would
have been prevented had they had one crew metting the
hotspot in the week afterwards, one the Palisades resident Peter
(21:16):
Viiles says the fire department's handling of the original fire
is beyond disappointing. It's even more frustrating they haven't given
a straightforward account of how they allowed that small fire
to stay alive for a week. We will address that
further on Monday. But it's nice to see Karen vass
Is read the papers. She's totally engaged.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
Now, all right, now let's talk stacks. Okay, I'm ready,
you go first. Well I'm not talking about Yeah, I'm
talking and time for dirty talk with Devor Mark. All right.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
I don't know if you're heard this, but Prince Andrew
had forty prostitutes in a Thailand hotel that were sent
there and it was.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
All the taxpayer paid for them. It was a taxpayer
funded trip.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
One of his titles in addition to being Prince, he
was the Trade Envoy.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
He was supposed to travel to foreign countries.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
To discuss trade, negotiate trade.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
I don't know what. Well, it's nonsense. It's a nonsense title.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
And he would use this trade envoy status to arrange
these trips. And I mean did he charge the prostitutes
to the taxpayer too? Oh was that on the expense
report he pulled Laura, Did Lara have prostitutes?
Speaker 2 (22:48):
Well, no, but US taxpayer money to go on foreign trip.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
The Daily Mail has a podcast called Deep Dive The
Fall of the House of York, hosted by Sarah Vaughn
and the biographer for Prince Andrew. Andrew Loney tells the
story play cut eight.
Speaker 16 (23:08):
So two thousand and one, he's forty one, he's having
his midlife crisis, and he basically starts chasing lots and
lots of women, and he uses the excuse off this
role as a trade envoy paid for by the taxpayer
civil service to go off on these trips. But he
always puts in two weeks of private time, so we've
kind of paid for the holiday. And then he goes
(23:29):
off and does you know things, even on some of
these trips, as a famous trip in Thailand for the
Birth of celebrations the King of Thailand where he's representing
the country, and he insists on staying in a five
star hotel, which he always did rather than the embassy
resident and he has forty prostitutes brought in over the
space of four days. Forty yeah, yes, yeah, while he
(23:51):
does all sorts of other things. So this is all
kind of enabled buy you know, diplomats and others. But
I think my real concern is that on these trips
he was basically sending a list of people that he
wanted to meet for his own personal business interests, all
those of a man called David Rowlands, with whom he
was in the business partnership, And so for example, he
(24:12):
was able to push through a banking license for Rowlands
in the Middle East in China for Rolands who wanted
to develop business there. And all these files of his
time as a special Trade envoice between two thousand and
one twenty eleven remain closed and I've tried for four
years using FOI to get access to them. They should
(24:32):
be in the National Archives, and they remain closed. And
that is part of this conspiracy of silence. We need
to break.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
Break and all this stuff about forty prostitutes, where does
that come from? Where did you get that information from?
Speaker 16 (24:45):
Is that just that's on the record. So there's Michael
Lean proud he was a diplomat. I got it from
man called Andrew McGregor Marshall, who's the Rouyters correspondent, who
had very good contacts in the hotels. I got it
from a member of the Thay royal family. All these
people are named. And then Tom Sykes, who's a journalist,
actually said, yes, we knew about these stories and we've
we've now I'm going to tell you my stuff from
(25:06):
my own sources. So actually it didn't bold an other journalists.
So these stories have been known by lots of journalists
and just not written to diplomats.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
Do you think the late Queen had any inkling of
any of this or was she shielded from it all?
Speaker 3 (25:19):
No?
Speaker 16 (25:19):
No, she knew exactly what was going on. I mean
just doing the Duke of Windsor. I know that the
PPOs of police protection officers always report back to the
monarch if there's anything, so she would have had reports
from her role to protection people. She I know people
went and complained to the Queen. I had talked to
two permanent under secretaries who complained to the Queen's private
(25:40):
secretary and they were basically sent away with a flea
in their ear.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
With a flea a flea in their ear.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
Okay, I guess some weird British expression, yeah, buzz off.
Ok So they tell the Queen that your son's got
forty prostitutes on the taxpayer dime.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
I thought she was a nice woman.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
She's fleecing her subjects to pay for what the hell
is he into?
Speaker 2 (26:10):
Forty?
Speaker 17 (26:11):
Well, remember it was over four days, so that was
only ten Like, yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
I guess they're just yeah, maybe there was four every
every eight hours. Yeah, yeah, I could I could see.
I could run up that the proceutees would need rest
time the hell was going on with him?
Speaker 2 (26:34):
Oh well, but forty I wouldn't know these things, John,
I wouldn't know these things either.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
Three I could see. I mean, you run out of
ideas after a while. God, Deborah Mark, is what do
we got coming up next? That thing moistline? Yes, deborahm
Ulet's you bring up, you brought up the sex.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
You brought up the let's talk. I know because I
knew this was a sexy story.
Speaker 7 (27:06):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI Am sixty.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
John Cobelts Show, and we will talk further Monday on
Karen Bass suddenly wanting an investigation as to why the
firefighters left early and left the hotspots to smolder until
it blew up into.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
The Palisades Fire the hotspots.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
From the original New Year's Day fire, So we will
talk about that on Monday. Also on the podcast today,
which is going to be posted very soon. Two o'clock
hour special notice, we had Professor Michael MChE On from
You I See and Professor James Rector from UC Berkeley
on eight dollar Gas coming. They're going to tell you
(27:49):
how why our gas refinery situation is in crisis mode.
We're losing two refineries. We're losing twenty one percent of
a refinery capacity. Either're closing up because of newisance taxes
and regulations. We've lost sixty five percent of oil production.
The oil pipeline, the main one that goes north south
(28:09):
through the state, that probably will close too.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
There's not enough oil to keep it going.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
So all that listen to the two o'clock hours sometime
this weekend after you get fit up with Halloween, we
now go to the moist Line Park two.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
Let's roll.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
Heyk Sean, thanks for calling the Moistline.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
I'm so excited to hear from you frombout time.
Speaker 5 (28:31):
Instead of the mayor having volunteers to pick up after
the homeless, why don't you pay the homeless to pick
up their own trash instead of building eight hundred thousand
dollars condos for them, pay them for picking up the
trash and teaching them what it's like to have a
job and do something for their money. They may learn something.
Speaker 18 (28:53):
Items Gavin missed on the verbal portion of the fat,
the definition of literally, the pronunciation of literally, the definition
of the word lying, the meaning of the sentence I
can't do that, and the number of punctuation marks needed
to end a declarative sentence period will stop.
Speaker 6 (29:16):
Wake up?
Speaker 14 (29:17):
Vote No one brought fifty Wake up.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
We're going to be insur trouble.
Speaker 4 (29:21):
Vote yes.
Speaker 19 (29:23):
Luska mentioned the other day is growing a food diet,
eating wonderbread and mac and cheese, but he forgot to
mention the other food items that were on the Getty menu,
Chef boyrd Ravioli, baghettios and Swansen TV dinners.
Speaker 8 (29:39):
Newsom is one huge pile of steamy. No matter how
you want to polish him, he's still a piece of Yeah.
That's truly.
Speaker 17 (29:48):
We need to lead our country someone with leadership skills,
someone when something.
Speaker 8 (29:53):
Horrible happens that what they do.
Speaker 17 (29:55):
The first thing they do is they go get drunk
in their room and cross exactly what we need to
lead America straight to help.
Speaker 8 (30:03):
You're so right.
Speaker 4 (30:04):
My sister was drug addicted and homeless, and I spent
a lot of time saving her life. Fortunately I did,
and my sister's fifteen years sober now.
Speaker 8 (30:14):
She was a worst case.
Speaker 6 (30:16):
Scenario and I had to force her into treatment court order.
Speaker 8 (30:20):
It worked.
Speaker 9 (30:21):
If you want to know the reason, just look at
the money. This battalion chief has a budget, and that's
how that kind of stuff would work. If you let
those guys get all that overtime, it cuts into your budget.
Speaker 4 (30:33):
Why do you expect that the media is going to
treat Avenuwsom with any level of skepticism. All they do
is this guy.
Speaker 12 (30:39):
Every time he's on TV with them, they're all in
collusion with the guy.
Speaker 9 (30:43):
So Gibriel, come.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
On, I love Za.
Speaker 9 (30:46):
That's a first class pivot. Everyone should use that against these.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
Clowns when they start going off on.
Speaker 9 (30:51):
Their world salads.
Speaker 11 (30:53):
Let's be clear, this whole getted job argument against Smash, it's.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
Not going to work out anymore.
Speaker 9 (31:02):
AI is taking everything.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
I've got a truck.
Speaker 15 (31:05):
Driver out here for quite a while now, and myself,
a hundreds and not thousands of other drivers have raised
concerns about the number of illegals out here that are
a danger to other people on the road. These companies
that hire them, they take the cheapest freight out there.
They're putting owner operators out of business. They have three
four guys living in one truck so they can run
(31:27):
twenty four to seven. And yeah, it's just ridiculous.
Speaker 14 (31:30):
Gavin Newsom is such a liar.
Speaker 15 (31:33):
Such a liar.
Speaker 14 (31:34):
He's such a liar, Such a liar. Some of these
people got to get their heads out of the ground.
Speaker 7 (31:39):
I used to be a Democrat.
Speaker 14 (31:41):
I got smart twenty years ago.
Speaker 8 (31:43):
This goes back to the age old question which came first,
the taxpayer or the EBT queen. Thank you for leaving
your message.
Speaker 17 (31:52):
Please hang up, goodbye.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
All right, that's the voiceline for this week and conways
up now. Michael Krozer has the news live in the
twenty four hour CAFI News Center. Hey, you've been listening
to the John Cobalt Show podcast. You can always hear
the show live on KFI AM six forty from one
to four pm every Monday through Friday, and of course
anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Can I am six forty you're listening to the John
Cobelt Podcast on the iHeartRadio app. We're on every day
one until four o'clock and after four o'clock John Cobelt
Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. It's the podcast,
and you could hear what you missed. Special attention to
the two o'clock hour because we had two professors on,
(00:21):
Michael MChE from USC and we also had James Rector
from UC Berkeley, and they were on to explain how
with two refineries closing in California in a matter of months,
we are going to possibly hit eight dollars a gallon
in gas next year, and we're losing twenty one percent
(00:43):
of our gas refinery capacity, and we have lost already
sixty five percent of our oil production capacity. And Newsom
is cornered on this. There is very little he can
do to change this. It's going to be very expensive
to try to get out of it, and we're going
to have to import enormous amounts of oil from foreign countries,
(01:06):
countries that are communist dictatorships or terrorist nations to get
their oil and ship it all around the world in
ocean tankers and it's going to be expensive, it's going
to add a lot of unnecessary pollution to the atmosphere.
(01:26):
And all this, all this oil regulation and taxes, has
done nothing for the environment, done nothing for the climates,
because everything that we don't make produce here anymore is
more than offset by having to import it from far
away places. It is absolutely the stupidest policy that any
(01:47):
state has ever engaged in. And Newsom is now in
a lot of Trump because the oil companies are getting
out of the oil business here in California.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
And you'll hear a lot about this the next six months.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Let's go to State Senator Tony Strickland, despite his incompetence,
despite his pathological lying, when Newsom says, vote for a
Prop fifty and get rid of the Independent Redistricting Commission
so his buddies can draw the lines. People are going
for it sixty to thirty eight according to this Berkeley poll.
(02:23):
And he does it just by magical incantation. He just
says Trump over and over and over again until people
start frothing at the mouth and their heads starts spitting around.
Let's get Tony Strickland on Republican from Manhattan Beach. How
are you Tony, Hi?
Speaker 3 (02:40):
How's it going, John? How are you doing?
Speaker 2 (02:42):
I'm fine.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Well, it's sixty thirty eight according to Berkeley, and they're
probably not wrong.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
Well I would say, I agree that we're down, but
I don't believe these polls. John. I mean, if the
polls were at accurate, Kamala Harris will be president. And
I remember during the.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Wait a second all time, Yes twelve, the polls had
Trunk winning maybe a couple of points. Okay, they were
a few points off. This is twenty two and there's
like three or four of them.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
No, I don't doubt they We're down. I don't doubt
what we're down. No, it wasn't a.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Bunch of a campaign here on the part of the Republicans.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
No, you're You're absolutely right. You're absolutely right. The Republicans
didn't raise the kind of resources and the kind of
ads that came out were not as good. But I
will say that Governor Newsom is very good about misleading
and lying to the people of California. And every argument
that I have about why to vote no on Top
fifty was in the f ad. It said that they
(03:44):
were going to preserve the Redistricting Commission which they're getting
rid of. It also said it takes power away from
the politicians, which it doesn't. It gives them the power.
And I have to just put a warning sign to everybody.
Once you get power to the politicians, they're not going
to give it up. They're going to come turn around
and try to do it again in twenty thirty. As
(04:04):
role Reagan said, there's nothing more plument than a temporary
government program.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
You're right on this proposition. He is disastrous in so
many ways. Newsome and people are listening to him, and
they're not listening to your side very much at all.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
You just have the people who always vote on your side.
Why is this.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
Well, I think he's put again. I think he's been
putting hundreds of millions of dollars confusing the people. And
I also believe this is going to be one incredibly
low turnout election. People just I'm walking toward a door
every weekend, John, and a lot of people don't even
know this election is going to happen. I guarantee you
it's not gonna be a high turnout. It's gonna be
around a fifty percent turnout, and it's the only thing
(04:48):
on the ballot and a lot of folks are confused
about voting yes or no, because again he's saying he's
getting rid of the Independent Commission when he's just doing
the opposite. And millions of dollars a push behind his ads.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Yeah, and the and but the ads largely focus on
on on Trump.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
No.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
And they did a good job. They did a good
job at making this a partisan anti Trump thing. But
I always tell my Democratic friends, be careful what you
asked for, you just might get it. Because what's gonna
end up happening is now Ohio, Florida, Indiana, all these
other states they are going to follow California. They're going
to rig the election there, and you know we're gonna
(05:31):
have predetermined elections across the country. Trump and the Republicans
republic take up twenty five seats. But it's bad for California.
It's bad for America. They have predetermined elections.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
No, I think it's bad. It's bad that both sides
are doing it. It was bad in tax agree.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
It's worse here because I live here and now the
Republicans are Do you think they're really going to go
through these Republican states?
Speaker 5 (05:51):
I do?
Speaker 2 (05:51):
They fight back? I do, and rig their redistricting lines.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
I do, and and I firmly believe that because a
lot of the National Republicans did not help fundraising. Because
at the end of the day, a seat in California
is worth the same as a seat in Florida or
in Ohio. And if every state starts moving forward and
predeterminate elections and rig these elections, the Republicans will pick
up twenty five to thirty seats. And I told my
(06:16):
Democratic trends this be careful what you ask for, you
just might get it.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Well if that happens, and then Newsom would have this
plan would have backfired on him because the Republicans will
a lot more seats to pick up by redrawing the lines.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
I think it will backfire on him. And again, it's
bad for our democracy. It's terrible. People just have to
earn the vote of the people who not have predetermined elections.
It's just bad for democracy.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Now, I think.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
I think it's terrible that people who've had a certain
party representing them for a long time and they liked
the representation. They've had the same congress person for many years,
and suddenly it's been ripped away from them to help
boost new some Democratic primary chances. Basically, that's what this
all is in service of his presidential campaign.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
This is nothing but for his presidential campaign is he's
the anti Trump so he can win the Democratic nomination.
That's why we're going through this process.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Do you think being anti Trump flies when he's not
going to be running against Trump?
Speaker 3 (07:21):
I think on there's some Trump's arrangement syndrome on the
other side, and whoever is the loudest against Donald Trump
on the Democratic side will end up trying to get
that nomination. And that's why one I also believe the
reason why he's out Look, it's the worst kept secret
in the world that he's running for president. He's been
doing for the last three years. But the reason why
he's now getting even more aggressive is he's trying to
(07:43):
freeze out Kamala Harris from her running because they come
from the same fundraising base in the Bay Area and
the same kind of base, and so he's trying to
get ahead of her and trying to you know, take
that mantle to run for president.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
It can't get more absurd. The news and Kamala Harris
fighting each other to run for president.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
Well, I couldn't agree more so my friends and other
parts of the country. Look what it costs for electricity here,
Look what it costs for gasoline here, and say do
you want that to come to your state? It is unbelievable.
How bad of a job he's done. Only in politics
can he do a bad job and try to blame
someone else for your poor, poor lack of leadership?
Speaker 1 (08:24):
All right, Tony Strickland, State Senator from Manhattan, meetchs, thank you.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
For coming on.
Speaker 6 (08:30):
Wait?
Speaker 3 (08:30):
Please, are you hunting to.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Huntington Beach?
Speaker 3 (08:34):
Sorry, I'm hunting to beat. I put you on the
wrong overlying. No, that's all, yeah, honey to beat.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Yeah, I scrap every day here. All right, thanks a lot, Tony.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
Thanks for having me on. I really appreciate.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Okay, Tony Strickland, State Senator.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
When we come back first of two rounds on the
moist line and after three point thirty, I is juicy.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
You know, Prince Andrew is no longer prince. His brother,
King Charles has stripped him of his prince title and
kicked him out of his royal lodging. He's now an
ordinary British citizen and now people are leaking really crazy stories.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
There's a lot of stamina.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
I don't know how he does this, but the story is,
according to his biographer, Prince Andrew once had forty prostitutes
brought to Thailand to a hotel paid for by the
British taxpayers.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Forty of them. They're not all for him. He brought
his friends, he shares. We'll talk more about it coming up.
Speaker 7 (09:51):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
It's time for the moist Line. If you want, you know,
call in for next. Well might be a little bit
for a while before we have the next boy.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Slide, but right out the boys, fine, round one, let's go.
Speaker 8 (10:10):
It's Sean.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Thanks for calling the moistline.
Speaker 9 (10:12):
I'm so excited to hear from you. It's about time.
Speaker 8 (10:15):
It's pretty scary everything that's been happening.
Speaker 10 (10:18):
Yeah, something needs to be done about it, and something
needs to be done.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
About it real soon.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
The whole problem here is the government.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
It doesn't matter if it's a democratic government or if
it's a republican government.
Speaker 9 (10:30):
It's the government.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
They need the drugs for big Pharma, and they need
cheap labor.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
The United States loves chief labor.
Speaker 11 (10:38):
I'm former military, have my CDF over ten years. Put
my military time with it. That's over twenty some years driving.
I've known guys who filed that test three times and
then they had to come back after.
Speaker 9 (10:49):
Cool off period.
Speaker 11 (10:50):
If you can't pass the average test, you cannot move
on to the driving test. This is ridiculous Newsome needs
to be out of office period, need be charged with murder.
Speaker 6 (11:00):
I had to walk in the street to go around
a homeless camp. I twisted my glitch and almost got
hit by a girl in the tessela on her phone.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
Because she swerved and didn't see me.
Speaker 6 (11:11):
Second, I walked across the street to the bus station.
Later on that day, my walker hit a hole and
I felt I'm suing the city.
Speaker 12 (11:20):
It probably took so long to figure out who they
were because they're the people responsible for processing all of
the claims. They're not going to drop themselves out.
Speaker 13 (11:30):
Regarding that big truck crash. We have to go after
the companies that are hiring these people. You would have
to sue the companies through the trucking company who who
was ever hiring these people? Forget the state and said
arguing who gave them more license or a permit or whatever?
(11:53):
We have to sue the companies.
Speaker 8 (11:55):
Yeah, I mean he looks presidential Donald Trumps. It's the Presidentice.
Now they'very dumb person in the world. I think now
they've become president.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
Now we have with dumb as president.
Speaker 8 (12:08):
Doom, d dom, d dom.
Speaker 4 (12:10):
Look at me, I'm walking up a hill.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
Oh there used to be.
Speaker 4 (12:14):
A fire here a couple of days ago. Oh look
it's smoking. Let me take a selfie and see how
many likes I get called the fire department. Oh no,
I need to get my likes.
Speaker 10 (12:28):
When in the history of the world has a government
taken responsibility for some kind of tragic accident.
Speaker 8 (12:36):
Or situation because.
Speaker 10 (12:38):
That then acknowledges that they're at faults, and now they're liable,
and now they owe you millions, if not billions of dollars,
and they're hoping that in your investigation you will not
be able to figure.
Speaker 8 (12:52):
Out who's it fault. It's sickening to me. I hate
this country.
Speaker 14 (12:57):
I have the why as to why Newsom is running
for president.
Speaker 10 (13:02):
Why just wreck a.
Speaker 14 (13:04):
State when you can wreck a whole country. So he's
going to turn the whole country into California. God help
us all. He must be stopped.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
The governor and the mayor.
Speaker 8 (13:15):
They're the ultimates and the ultimate responsibility for the fire.
They're totally incompetent people.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
Why doesn't the press call loose him out on his
lives right when he says them? He should be called
out on him right then and there. I'm sick and
tired of the lies.
Speaker 14 (13:32):
Once they fence it off, then the almost will move in.
They will guard defense and not let anybody else in,
so the city or state or county for whoever won't
have to take care of me.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
After hearing Katie Porter talk, I mean, a hot, scalding
pot of potatoes on the head is a small price.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
To pay to get away from that.
Speaker 15 (13:56):
What do you think it's like if he forgets to
bring the trash cans in on time?
Speaker 13 (14:00):
I'm curious about these homeless shelters for the people with
mental issues. We're going to have metal therapists there and
we're going to have security there.
Speaker 5 (14:12):
But this is the thing.
Speaker 13 (14:13):
People I want to get rid of the police, or
they want to cut down amount of police, but we're
gonna have security there. What happened to when the metal
therapists go home?
Speaker 14 (14:22):
Isn't interesting?
Speaker 4 (14:23):
How Gavin is trying to separate himself from being wealthy
and being one of the regular folks.
Speaker 8 (14:28):
Didn't he just buy a mansioned somewhere up north.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Of San Francisco.
Speaker 8 (14:32):
Thank you for leaving nine million dollars.
Speaker 5 (14:35):
Yeah, goodbye.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
That's some moistline.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
Another round coming up in about about twenty five minutes, right, yeah,
uh yeah. There were a few fire mentions there, because
the big story this week was LA firefighters had been
sending text messages and La Times got a hold of them,
and the firefighters said that they were telling their what
(14:59):
was the battalion chief that, hey, there's there's a lot
of smoldering going on here, you know, wisps of smoke.
This was the day after the January first fire. And
the tree stumps were hot, and the rocks were hot,
and the smoldering was coming from the ground and the debris,
and the the battalion chief said, well, roll up the hoses.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
We're leaving. That was his direct order.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
Jennifer Van Lahar from RedState dot Com wrote a piece
today and she quoted Spencer Pratt. I don't know if
you've seen his stuff online. Spencer Pratt is a reality star.
His home burned to the ground and he has turned
into a fiery activist. He received a message from a
(15:49):
firefighter which he has posted, and Spencer Pratt has written
For anyone who doubted that firefighters did not want to
leave the Lockman fire, but were ordered to leave, we
told you this week's ago. A firefighter wrote to him,
in part quote, there were several hot spots and it
(16:12):
was definitely still smoldering. Tons of smoldering tree stumps still
remained that needed to be dug out and water applied.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
I believe a.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Hand crew needed to come in and mop up the
whole area with water. I just wanted to let you know,
so you have the truth. I had a chief walk
by me that day and I showed him a hotspot.
He said it was good enough, and we continued to
pick the hose. We continued to pick all the hoses up.
I was using water that was draining out of the
(16:43):
hose to put red hot coals out. I couldn't believe
we walked away from that burn scar the way it
was to follow that, He's pointing to the chief showing
him the hotspot, and the chief said, O, it's good enough.
Keep picking up the hose, and so the last water
draining out of the hose. This firefighter tried to put
(17:04):
the red hot coals out, the red hot coals out,
but he and the other firefighters were forced to leave
by their bosses. We come back this Prince Andrew no
longer a prince. Oh my god. You know, somebody asked me, what,
(17:24):
why do you Why did Charles finally get rid of him?
Speaker 8 (17:27):
Now?
Speaker 1 (17:28):
I think there were more horrible stories coming and Charles
got ahead of it.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Horrible story number one.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
And we've got a pretty funny podcast to play for
you about this incident.
Speaker 7 (17:39):
You're listening to John Cobel's on demand from KFI AM
six forty second.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
Round of the Moist Line coming up next segment. Oh,
by the way, we put our our highlight segments on YouTube.
Speaker 5 (17:52):
Now.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
You can subscribe on YouTube.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
YouTube dot com slash at John Cobelt's show. That's slightly
different than all the other social media YouTube dot com
slash at John Cobelt's show. Go there, subscribe on YouTube,
and every day we put up a little you know,
video segment.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Just because you can't get enough of this right, all right?
You ready for this one? This just.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
Was put on the La Time site less than an
hour ago. Karen Bass has requested a full investigation.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Into why firefighters were ordered.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
To leave the smoldering burn area the day after the
New Year's fire. Calls it tremendously alarming. Had she stayed
in the country. What she should have done as mayor
is convened a meeting with her fire chief Kristin Crowley
(18:54):
and others, and they should have said, Okay, we had
a fire in the Palisades the other day. Is that
still a hotspot? It's only two days later. That's what
she should have done.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
Better late than ever.
Speaker 8 (19:06):
John.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
On October thirty first, ten months later, she wrote a
letter to fire Chief Interim Fire Chief Ronnie Vianueva, who
claimed that the fire was completely out.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
She asked that he thoroughly investigate this report.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
A full understanding of the lockmand fire response is essential
to an accurate accounting of what occurred during the January wildfires. God,
if you'd only shown interest back on January second, steadying
and she was still here, then didn't float off to
Ghana yet, let.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
Me see blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
And it goes through all the latest revelations that we
went through yesterday. Today, a lawyer who lost his home
in Malibu. So E Randall Schoenberg says he is correct.
This Palisades fire was totally preventable. He says that the
fire department's review of its own actions ignore the mistakes
(20:15):
that require the most scrutiny, what was and what wasn't
done between January first and January seventh. He says, there's
nothing in the after action report that would stop this
from happening again.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
Nothing.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
The only issue is they wouldn't have made a difference
in this fire, and it won't make a difference in
the next fire if we allow it to start it
this way. In other words, if you're not gonna address
the hotspots and not going to communicate about the hotspots,
then you're going to have fires happen again like this,
where they get rekindled and they go crazy.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
The one thing.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
They could have done is sit on the January first fire,
make sure it didn't rekindle. It wouldn't have cost him anything,
and all six thousand homes would have been saved. Yes,
that's true. That's the legacy here. The entire fire would
have been prevented had they had one crew metting the
hotspot in the week afterwards, one the Palisades resident Peter
(21:16):
Viiles says the fire department's handling of the original fire
is beyond disappointing. It's even more frustrating they haven't given
a straightforward account of how they allowed that small fire
to stay alive for a week. We will address that
further on Monday. But it's nice to see Karen vass
Is read the papers. She's totally engaged.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
Now, all right, now let's talk stacks. Okay, I'm ready,
you go first. Well I'm not talking about Yeah, I'm
talking and time for dirty talk with Devor Mark. All right.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
I don't know if you're heard this, but Prince Andrew
had forty prostitutes in a Thailand hotel that were sent
there and it was.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
All the taxpayer paid for them. It was a taxpayer
funded trip.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
One of his titles in addition to being Prince, he
was the Trade Envoy.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
He was supposed to travel to foreign countries.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
To discuss trade, negotiate trade.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
I don't know what. Well, it's nonsense. It's a nonsense title.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
And he would use this trade envoy status to arrange
these trips. And I mean did he charge the prostitutes
to the taxpayer too? Oh was that on the expense
report he pulled Laura, Did Lara have prostitutes?
Speaker 2 (22:48):
Well, no, but US taxpayer money to go on foreign trip.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
The Daily Mail has a podcast called Deep Dive The
Fall of the House of York, hosted by Sarah Vaughn
and the biographer for Prince Andrew. Andrew Loney tells the
story play cut eight.
Speaker 16 (23:08):
So two thousand and one, he's forty one, he's having
his midlife crisis, and he basically starts chasing lots and
lots of women, and he uses the excuse off this
role as a trade envoy paid for by the taxpayer
civil service to go off on these trips. But he
always puts in two weeks of private time, so we've
kind of paid for the holiday. And then he goes
(23:29):
off and does you know things, even on some of
these trips, as a famous trip in Thailand for the
Birth of celebrations the King of Thailand where he's representing
the country, and he insists on staying in a five
star hotel, which he always did rather than the embassy
resident and he has forty prostitutes brought in over the
space of four days. Forty yeah, yes, yeah, while he
(23:51):
does all sorts of other things. So this is all
kind of enabled buy you know, diplomats and others. But
I think my real concern is that on these trips
he was basically sending a list of people that he
wanted to meet for his own personal business interests, all
those of a man called David Rowlands, with whom he
was in the business partnership, And so for example, he
(24:12):
was able to push through a banking license for Rowlands
in the Middle East in China for Rolands who wanted
to develop business there. And all these files of his
time as a special Trade envoice between two thousand and
one twenty eleven remain closed and I've tried for four
years using FOI to get access to them. They should
(24:32):
be in the National Archives, and they remain closed. And
that is part of this conspiracy of silence. We need
to break.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
Break and all this stuff about forty prostitutes, where does
that come from? Where did you get that information from?
Speaker 16 (24:45):
Is that just that's on the record. So there's Michael
Lean proud he was a diplomat. I got it from
man called Andrew McGregor Marshall, who's the Rouyters correspondent, who
had very good contacts in the hotels. I got it
from a member of the Thay royal family. All these
people are named. And then Tom Sykes, who's a journalist,
actually said, yes, we knew about these stories and we've
we've now I'm going to tell you my stuff from
(25:06):
my own sources. So actually it didn't bold an other journalists.
So these stories have been known by lots of journalists
and just not written to diplomats.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
Do you think the late Queen had any inkling of
any of this or was she shielded from it all?
Speaker 3 (25:19):
No?
Speaker 16 (25:19):
No, she knew exactly what was going on. I mean
just doing the Duke of Windsor. I know that the
PPOs of police protection officers always report back to the
monarch if there's anything, so she would have had reports
from her role to protection people. She I know people
went and complained to the Queen. I had talked to
two permanent under secretaries who complained to the Queen's private
(25:40):
secretary and they were basically sent away with a flea
in their ear.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
With a flea a flea in their ear.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
Okay, I guess some weird British expression, yeah, buzz off.
Ok So they tell the Queen that your son's got
forty prostitutes on the taxpayer dime.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
I thought she was a nice woman.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
She's fleecing her subjects to pay for what the hell
is he into?
Speaker 2 (26:10):
Forty?
Speaker 17 (26:11):
Well, remember it was over four days, so that was
only ten Like, yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
I guess they're just yeah, maybe there was four every
every eight hours. Yeah, yeah, I could I could see.
I could run up that the proceutees would need rest
time the hell was going on with him?
Speaker 2 (26:34):
Oh well, but forty I wouldn't know these things, John,
I wouldn't know these things either.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
Three I could see. I mean, you run out of
ideas after a while. God, Deborah Mark, is what do
we got coming up next? That thing moistline? Yes, deborahm
Ulet's you bring up, you brought up the sex.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
You brought up the let's talk. I know because I
knew this was a sexy story.
Speaker 7 (27:06):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI Am sixty.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
John Cobelts Show, and we will talk further Monday on
Karen Bass suddenly wanting an investigation as to why the
firefighters left early and left the hotspots to smolder until
it blew up into.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
The Palisades Fire the hotspots.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
From the original New Year's Day fire, So we will
talk about that on Monday. Also on the podcast today,
which is going to be posted very soon. Two o'clock
hour special notice, we had Professor Michael MChE On from
You I See and Professor James Rector from UC Berkeley
on eight dollar Gas coming. They're going to tell you
(27:49):
how why our gas refinery situation is in crisis mode.
We're losing two refineries. We're losing twenty one percent of
a refinery capacity. Either're closing up because of newisance taxes
and regulations. We've lost sixty five percent of oil production.
The oil pipeline, the main one that goes north south
(28:09):
through the state, that probably will close too.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
There's not enough oil to keep it going.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
So all that listen to the two o'clock hours sometime
this weekend after you get fit up with Halloween, we
now go to the moist Line Park two.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
Let's roll.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
Heyk Sean, thanks for calling the Moistline.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
I'm so excited to hear from you frombout time.
Speaker 5 (28:31):
Instead of the mayor having volunteers to pick up after
the homeless, why don't you pay the homeless to pick
up their own trash instead of building eight hundred thousand
dollars condos for them, pay them for picking up the
trash and teaching them what it's like to have a
job and do something for their money. They may learn something.
Speaker 18 (28:53):
Items Gavin missed on the verbal portion of the fat,
the definition of literally, the pronunciation of literally, the definition
of the word lying, the meaning of the sentence I
can't do that, and the number of punctuation marks needed
to end a declarative sentence period will stop.
Speaker 6 (29:16):
Wake up?
Speaker 14 (29:17):
Vote No one brought fifty Wake up.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
We're going to be insur trouble.
Speaker 4 (29:21):
Vote yes.
Speaker 19 (29:23):
Luska mentioned the other day is growing a food diet,
eating wonderbread and mac and cheese, but he forgot to
mention the other food items that were on the Getty menu,
Chef boyrd Ravioli, baghettios and Swansen TV dinners.
Speaker 8 (29:39):
Newsom is one huge pile of steamy. No matter how
you want to polish him, he's still a piece of Yeah.
That's truly.
Speaker 17 (29:48):
We need to lead our country someone with leadership skills,
someone when something.
Speaker 8 (29:53):
Horrible happens that what they do.
Speaker 17 (29:55):
The first thing they do is they go get drunk
in their room and cross exactly what we need to
lead America straight to help.
Speaker 8 (30:03):
You're so right.
Speaker 4 (30:04):
My sister was drug addicted and homeless, and I spent
a lot of time saving her life. Fortunately I did,
and my sister's fifteen years sober now.
Speaker 8 (30:14):
She was a worst case.
Speaker 6 (30:16):
Scenario and I had to force her into treatment court order.
Speaker 8 (30:20):
It worked.
Speaker 9 (30:21):
If you want to know the reason, just look at
the money. This battalion chief has a budget, and that's
how that kind of stuff would work. If you let
those guys get all that overtime, it cuts into your budget.
Speaker 4 (30:33):
Why do you expect that the media is going to
treat Avenuwsom with any level of skepticism. All they do
is this guy.
Speaker 12 (30:39):
Every time he's on TV with them, they're all in
collusion with the guy.
Speaker 9 (30:43):
So Gibriel, come.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
On, I love Za.
Speaker 9 (30:46):
That's a first class pivot. Everyone should use that against these.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
Clowns when they start going off on.
Speaker 9 (30:51):
Their world salads.
Speaker 11 (30:53):
Let's be clear, this whole getted job argument against Smash, it's.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
Not going to work out anymore.
Speaker 9 (31:02):
AI is taking everything.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
I've got a truck.
Speaker 15 (31:05):
Driver out here for quite a while now, and myself,
a hundreds and not thousands of other drivers have raised
concerns about the number of illegals out here that are
a danger to other people on the road. These companies
that hire them, they take the cheapest freight out there.
They're putting owner operators out of business. They have three
four guys living in one truck so they can run
(31:27):
twenty four to seven. And yeah, it's just ridiculous.
Speaker 14 (31:30):
Gavin Newsom is such a liar.
Speaker 15 (31:33):
Such a liar.
Speaker 14 (31:34):
He's such a liar, Such a liar. Some of these
people got to get their heads out of the ground.
Speaker 7 (31:39):
I used to be a Democrat.
Speaker 14 (31:41):
I got smart twenty years ago.
Speaker 8 (31:43):
This goes back to the age old question which came first,
the taxpayer or the EBT queen. Thank you for leaving
your message.
Speaker 17 (31:52):
Please hang up, goodbye.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
