Speaker 1 (00:00):
Can't. I am six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
You're listening to the John Cobelt Podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
We're on every day from one until four o'clock and
after four o'clock John Cobelt's show on demand on the
iHeart app. It's the podcast and that's where you listen
to what you missed every day. But as always, you
shouldn't be missing anything. We got a lot of cool
stuff coming up. I want to start out quickly because
(00:23):
the everyday it's the same problem. There's like more material
than there is time. By the way, it's a lovely
leopard jacket you have on.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
Well, thank you.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
I did want to take ten seconds to dollins.
Speaker 4 (00:35):
I appreciate that. Yeah, I need to wear more leopard.
It makes me happy.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
You should send out a photo of that.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
I should.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Yeah, yeah, you'll get a lot of likes today. You know,
the world not the world. This country is slowly coming
out of the woke nightmare. Not here in California. We
are still under siege here with excessive wokeness, and there
is no safe level of wokeness. All wokeness is successive
(01:03):
and destructive and grossly irritating. But on a national level,
the tide is ebbing, it's getting better. And there was
a big step forward today in Quantico where Pete Hegseth,
(01:24):
the Secretary of War.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
You did hear that we no longer have a defense department.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
I've been saying defense department. Officially, it's the Defense Department.
Unofficially it's the Department of War.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
The Department of War.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
So heg Sath, Trump and all the rest of them
are going with Department of War and he's the Secretary
of War. And you know, that was the first indication
that the world is going to be different. And he
asked that all the generals, all these high ranking military
officials all convened together at Quantaico, and he was giving
(01:59):
like a state of the Military address because he you know,
they ultimately it's you have civilian leaders in charge of
the military operation. So he's at the top of the
food chain, and he reports to Trump and he did
what should have been done like thirty years ago, and
(02:22):
none of this should have ever happened, even for a day.
But he's bringing back the highest standards physically that you
need to have if you're going to fight a war
and defeat all the evil enemies. Now, this is probably
the most UNPC speech you're ever going to hear, in fact,
(02:44):
except you know, this is the way life was up
until some years ago, where it gradually crept in and
infected everything. And he went for it, talking about what
type of physical appearances are not going to be tolerated
in soldiers anymore. We're sailors or pilots, all of it.
(03:06):
So let's start. Uh, he sets it up this way,
We're gonna go with cut five. This is heg Seth
saying that too many military military leaders were promoted for
the wrong reasons.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
For too long.
Speaker 5 (03:19):
We've promoted too many uniform leaders for the wrong reasons,
based on their race, based on gender quotas, based on historics,
so called firsts. We've pretended that combat arms and non
combat arms are the same thing. We've weeded out so
called toxic leaders under the guise of double blind psychology assessments,
(03:41):
promoting risk averse go along to get along conformists instead.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
You name it. The department did it. Foolish and reckless political.
Speaker 5 (03:50):
Leaders set the wrong compass heading and we lost our way.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
We became the woke Department, but not anymore the woke Department.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
And that's what it was because everybody, including military leaders,
were afraid of their own shadow, afraid of anything they said,
any suggestion they made, any policy they made that wouldn't
stand up to the Wolke Gestapo, who were lurking everywhere
waiting to look for new victims that they could capture
and kill. And when you breed an entire culture like that,
(04:26):
you're going to get a lot of a timid, frightened
people because it's this whole era is defined by everybody
being afraid to say what was obvious in front of
their eyes. Now he really gets into it. This is
probably my favorite cut number six.
Speaker 5 (04:43):
This administration has done a great deal from day one
to remove the social justice, politically correct, and toxic ideological garbage.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
That had infected our department. To rip out the politics.
Speaker 5 (04:58):
No more identity months, dei offices, dudes in dresses, no
more climate change worship, no more division distraction or gender delusions,
no more debris.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
As I've said before.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
And we'll say again, we are done with that.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
That's right, no more dudes in dresses. We're trying to
kill people. We're trying to kill people and destroy buildings.
That's what the Department of War is, and you have
to have that even if you're the most pacifist person
in the world. You know, maybe you're a timid pacifist vegan.
Speaker 5 (05:42):
It excuse me, Probably done with that.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
As I'm chomping on an apple.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Yes, we are.
Speaker 5 (05:50):
Done with that.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Okay, we're done with it all right now, he continued,
and he honed in on physical fitness and appearance. Let's
do cut number ten.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
Ten.
Speaker 5 (06:05):
It all starts with physical fitness and appearance. If the
Secretary of War can do regular hard PT so can
every member of our joint force.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Frankly, it's tiring.
Speaker 5 (06:18):
To look out at combat formations or really any formation
and see fat troops. Likewise, it's completely unacceptable to see
fat generals and admirals in the halls of the Pentagon. Yeah,
and leading commands around the country in the world. It's
a bad look. It is bad and it's not who
we are. So whether you're an airborne ranger or a
chairborne ranger, a brand new private or a four star general,
(06:41):
you need to meet the height and weight standards and
pass the PT.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Tests PTS for physical training. Wow, did you ever think
you'd hear this again? In fact, you never used to
hear it, because it was just assumed you got in
the military, you had to be in the finest physical
condition possible, and then suddenly nothing mattered. By the way,
this translates to a lot of lines of work. One
(07:04):
of the worst things about the woke era is turned
on the TV and seeing like some Victoria Secret special
and having all these large, overfed women wobbling down the runway. No,
but nobody wanted to. Nobody wants to see that. No
they don't. I didn't know a single guy who said, Wow,
that's hot, Hey, give me.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
More of that.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
Actually, I think some people actually like heavier women or
heavier men.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
There are people out there, you know. Look, we have furrees, right.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
I'm not saying like the overfed, as you call them people.
I'm just saying to each their own right.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Right, for each his own, but on a like on
a as far as the standard right, I mean, the
term is model. The definition model is that's that's the ideal,
that's what everybody should aspire to.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
Still figured models, right, didn't that come out?
Speaker 2 (07:56):
And that the CEO they had all there's all kinds
of stuff. There's there's a body the positive body positivity movement,
the fat acceptance movement. It's a quote big Pete, hex seth.
It's all bulbly, it's it's just all nonsense, Pete. Human
nature naturally is drawn to attractive people. That's just the
(08:17):
way we are. And that's why for one hundred years,
actors and actresses were fit and attractive generally, and then
you had, you know, the odd ball characters and sitcoms
who might be you know, a tad over fed or unsightly.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
What about the dad bods. That's a craze too, right.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Yeah, and that that's I mean, men get more leeway, yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
Which really sucks.
Speaker 6 (08:43):
I'd like to point that out, but I I know
no woman is really happy with with you know, if
they've got I mean everybody I know, if they start
gaining weight, their wives are the first ones to get
on their case.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
You know.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
No wife looks at their husband and say, yeah, it's cool,
you got an extra forty pounds there.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Nobody.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
So it's always been that way, men versus women, women
versus men, because that's the way we're and and it's.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
Unhealthy, and that's why we have so many eating disorders
out there because we all, we all try to to
be thin because of what.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
You're saying, you have an eating disorder because you're nuts.
Not necessarily, it's not that hard to moderate your intake.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
Actually it is. I'm hungry all the time. I have
to really make a conscious effort not to eat.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
You don't have an eating disorder.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
I do not, But I want to manage it.
Speaker 4 (09:39):
I manage it, but I want I want to be thin.
I feel that pressure to be to be thin.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
You're hungry all the time because you don't eat anything
of substance.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
I eat a lot of cars.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
You know.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Wildflowers and daffodils are not a meal. Whatever it is
you need, no, it's it's it's just I just I've
just got so sick of the nonsense. I remember, God
years ago, we had the National Fat Acceptance Group. We
had a woman on the show. She was the president,
and she got into a big argument. It's like, stop it,
all right, do whatever you want.
Speaker 4 (10:12):
That's what I was going to say. Look, if you
want to be heavy, you be heavy.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
It's okay.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
But you're not becoming a Victoria Seatwert now anymore than
I'm going to be a Los Angeles Dodger. I don't
have the physique of an athlete and I don't have
the talent of an athlete. But the same mentality is.
It's like, well, I want to play for the Dodger.
How about diversity, you know, how about get an older
Polish guy on the field.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
Look, I get when we're talking in the military, you
have to be fit because you are. Yes, it is strenuous,
and I understand that there are certain requirements.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Absolutely well, it's it's It's the same thing in any
line of work which requires a certain physical look or
a certain kind of stamina. Let's say you don't you
don't see you don't see fat athletes, and nobody makes
a case for that.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Nobody. It's funny. In athletics, we accept the merit system.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
We do not look for racial balance, ethnic balance, body
positive balance. We just say, oh, these are the twenty
five best ball players the Dodgers can could get their
hands on. Right, these are the fifty best ball players
of football players that the Rams can get.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
Same thing with the Lakers, right.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
They get they get fifteen basketball players that these guys
can run the fastest, jump the highest and shooting all.
It was there was a real question that we were
supposed to have any kind of diversity, and in a
lot of sports you don't have diversity. Everybody knows that
sports are not racially balanced, clearly, and nobody asked for that,
because then you'd watch a lot of bad basketball or
a lot of bad baseball. I'm tired of seeing bad modeling. Next,
(11:49):
Seth is tired of seeing bad soldiers.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
You don't have to look right if you don't like
the way somebody looks, Oh you don't, you don't have to.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
You don't have to stare.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Became like a religion, though, it's like forced on this.
All ready to take a break, Yes, we do more
coming up. You're feisty today.
Speaker 7 (12:06):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
All right, Pete Hesath says, no more fat soldiers, no
more fat generals. He convened every military leader that could
make it to Quantico, a huge auditorium, and he told
everybody that the days of woke are over, and there's
(12:36):
going to be strict physical fitness guidelines that you have
to meet, and women have to meet the same standards
as men.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Let's play cut thirteen.
Speaker 5 (12:47):
But when it comes to any job that requires physical
power to perform in combat. Those physical standards must be high.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
And gender neutral.
Speaker 5 (12:56):
If women can make it, excellent, If not, it is
what it is. If that means no women qualify for
some combat jobs, so be it. That is not the intent,
but it could be the result, so be it. It
will also that we mean that weak men won't qualify
because we're not playing games. This is combat. This is
(13:17):
life or death, as we all know. This is you
versus an enemy hell bent on killing you. To be
an effective lethal fighting force, you must trust that the
warrior alongside you in battle is capable, truly physically capable of.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Doing what is necessary under fire.
Speaker 5 (13:37):
You know, this is the only standard you would want
for your kids and for your grandkids.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Do you think fighting all those terrorists in the Middle
East and in Afghanistan and Iraq, do you really think
that their standards are this kind of nonsense, that they're
worried about the having the proper representation of men and
women and all the different races and ethnicities. I mean,
(14:04):
we must have been a joke to the whole world
all this time. How can you possibly I mean, we've
got the best weapons, but as far as a philosophy,
it's actually embarrassing. What do you mean you don't send
out the most physically adept people into battle? That makes
(14:27):
no sense. And yeah, weak men aren't part of it either.
I wouldn't pass any of these military tests.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
I wouldn't either.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
Yeah, you don't want me as a soldier. I'm okay,
but them not offended. It's like, no, no, you have
to you have to have a certain number of people
who are like not that muscular and coordinated and physically talented.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Yeah, you have to have You don't want.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Me, Well you're told now you don't want that either.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Anything else.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
Look, i'm too old too, I'm too short.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Yeah, I think you have to be at least five
feet Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
I miss that.
Speaker 4 (15:09):
I'm four eleven and three quarters. Unless I you know,
spike my.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
Hair, well that's not gonna be good enough.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
In fact, you know, they were saying that about the
Do you remember when Trump got shot and one of
the Secret Service agents she was a short woman. She
ran up to stand in front to protect anyone else
from getting taken out, except she was a head shorter
than she needed to be. It's like, if you're going
to stand in the way of a gunman, you've got
(15:39):
to be able to block the gunman. They're going to
fire right over your head.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
That makes sense to me.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
I saw a video online yesterday of a guy in
a fast food joint and he was being violent, right,
he's acting acting crazy. I don't know if he had
just tried to rob the place or or what his
issue was. And they had two female officers who were
who were not like in the best shape themselves, and
(16:07):
they're grappling with this guy and they can't get him.
They can't get him down, they can't get him neutralized
because they just weren't strong enough. It was two on
one and they couldn't They couldn't get him down, and
you know, it was quite a struggle that they had.
It's like, and I'm looking at this and say, hey,
I have this. If you're a woman, that's great, but
(16:30):
you got to be able to do it. You can't
get a job in police department or in the military
just because you're a woman and you're not physically capable
of doing the demanding job that more men can do.
It's just the way the world was created up play well,
(16:51):
play this last one. This is heck seth about diversity.
Speaker 5 (16:55):
As foolish and reckless, as the woke department was those
officers were following elected political leadership. An entire generation of
generals and admirals were told that they must parrot the
insane fallacy that quote, our diversity is our strength.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
Of course, we know our unity is our strength.
Speaker 5 (17:17):
They had to put out dizzying DEI and LGBTQI plus statements.
They were told females and males are the same thing,
or that males who think they're females totally normal. They
were told that we need a green fleet and electric tanks.
They were told to kick out Americans who refused an
(17:38):
emergency vaccine. They followed civilian policies set by foolish and
reckless political leaders.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
Wow, that's at the last decade, doesn't it. You know,
when somebody says all that out loud, in one succinct,
fifty second SoundBite, you realize just how nuts the last
decade has been. That all that stuff he listed is
insane on its own merit you apply it to the
standards of the military in wartime, there's not a word
(18:11):
to describe that type of that type of mental illness.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
All right, more coming up.
Speaker 7 (18:17):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Six forty after four o'clock. We've got John Cabel Show
on demand. That's the podcast, so you could listen to
what you missed. You could hear our that shaming festival.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
That we enjoyed.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
Oh yeah, that was enticing.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
Moist Flight is eight seven seven Moist eighty six eight
seven seven Moist eighty six usually talkback feature on the
iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
Maybe you have some opinions on that.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
All right, now, this this is.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Just so awful.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
What is Karen Bass's only and this is self proclaimed
her only claim to accomplish only accomplishment that she likes
to promote. What's your claim to fame? Inside Safe? Right,
getting homeless people off the streets. And she's got a
(19:14):
lot of bogus statistics. And there's still forty five thousand
vagrants in LA living on the streets. So inside Safe
and that's mostly coercing some of these people to go
into old, dilapidated, disgusting hotels and motels that no one
(19:39):
uses anymore except pimps and prostitutes and their customers.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
That's the whole purpose. Like your aunt and uncle are
in staying at these places, and the.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
City Council is under a new court order to get
the vagrants off the street as a result of a
settlement in a lawsuit, and they have been delaying this
for quite a while because they don't want to get
the vagrants off the street.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
They feel that's wrong.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
And now they're putting the vagrants, the mental patients, and
the drug addicts in motels where the beds are costing us.
They're an LA tax payer. It's costing us one hundred
and twenty thousand dollars a year. A hundred and twenty
thousand dollars a year. Now, most people don't make anywhere
(20:40):
near one hundred and twenty thousand a year, but they
have to account for their shelter in some way. Either
they rent an apartment or a condo, they have a
mortgage on a house, but they're not There's only few
people who make enough to carry out one hundred twenty
(21:02):
thousand dollars housing bill. Yet that's what we're doing for
one vagrant. In some cases, the city Council approved a
report and it showed how much LA is spending to
(21:24):
comply with this settlement from a lawsuit involving LA Alliance
for Human Rights. Because according to the settlement. They have
to find new shelter or housing beds by June twenty
twenty seven for twelve thousand people, thirteen thousand people. And
(21:45):
I'm not going to belabor all these numbers that they
have in the report here because numbers don't work really
well on the radio, gets too confusing.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
But I can tell you in Central LA.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
A homeless bed is costing one hundred and twenty four
thousand dollars. One hundred and twenty four thousand dollars. That
is a that is a particular site. It's called Deluxe.
I don't know if that's the name of a building
(22:22):
a program, but the Deluxe program in Central LA is
giving is spending one hundred and twenty four thousand dollars
for every mental patient and drug addict that that gets
a bed. And they have a section in Venice it's
called Marina seven. The per bed cost is one hundred
(22:44):
and sixteen thousand dollars one hundred and sixteen thousand. The
Motel six in Canoga Park ninety five dollars per vagrant.
We're spending this Karen Bass program is a complete disaster,
(23:09):
a total disaster. How do you create a program where
you're spending ninety five one hundred and sixteen one hundred
and twenty four thousand dollars a year on a single bed,
on a single vagrant.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
There's got to be a thousand different.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Ways you can design the program not to build, not
to spend one hundred and twenty four thousand dollars for
one bed. That's not Let's say it's pure corruption. Where
the hell is that money going? Or the hotel's charging
that much? Who owns these hotels? These hotels and motels
would be absolutely vacant without this inside Safe program. No
(23:54):
nobody's saying, like I said, it's pimps and prostitutes and
drug and drug runners. What about construction tiny home villages?
Tiny homes cost up to eighty six thousand dollars per
(24:16):
bed to build a tiny home bridge homes, and I
think that's more like dorbitory betting seventy two thousand dollars
per bed. This can complete corrupt. She is running such
a corrupt enterprise. This Insight Safe program is a fraud.
(24:41):
It's a bust. It should be shut down, it should
be investigated. People ought to be taken out in handcliffs,
handcuffs for everybody.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
Connected to this program? How could you do this?
Speaker 2 (24:57):
And you know she never holds a press conference on this, right,
she held some press conference tooting her fake numbers a
few months ago. Hold a press conference for this. Go ahead,
stand there, look into the cameras and tell all the taxpayers.
It's like, yeah, we're spending one hundred and twenty four
thousand dollars a year on a single bed for a
single homeless person.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
Go ahead, proud of that.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
Well, that's a that's great administration there, that's corruption. How
do you end up paying that much to whoever the
hell is running these programs or these motels or these
shelters or whatever.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
Unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
And the West Side Current has this story, which is
a news outlet on the West Side. It's online. They
have this stuff. You don't see this anywhere else. Go ahead,
call up the TV station saying, hey, why don't you
do a story on the one hundred and twenty four
thousand dollars that they spend per bed for the mental patients.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
They're not going to return that call. They don't care.
It doesn't matter to them.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
On I mean, I'm shocked by how much money they're spending,
and I'm not shocked. I mean because Karen Vass two
billion dollars is missing. At least this is the money
they can account for. Could you imagine what the unaccounted
money that's missing, what it went for? This is the
(26:27):
accounted money. This they have a paper trail. They know
that checks were written to this motel or that motel,
or this program or this shelter, and they could see
that it got them one hundred and twenty four thousand
dollars per bed. Then there's the two billion that's went
up and smoke.
Speaker 7 (26:43):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
We're on every day from one until four o'clock. After
four o'clock, John Cobelt's show on demand, and Tony Strickland,
the state Senator from Huntington Beach, will be on after
debors two o'clock news because there's a new head of
the California Air Resources Board, a new chair, a woman
(27:09):
named Lauren Sanchez. Wait a second, that's not Bezos's wife.
Speaker 3 (27:14):
Is just gonna ask you that hold on.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
I thought I read this story and me look at
it again. No, it's another Lauren Sanchez. Ah, although I
don't know if it would matter. She's been Newsome senior
climate advisor. Oh, she's out of the Biden administration. Oh,
we're in trouble. Wow, we're the only state in the
(27:39):
Union stuck in this wokel All right, Tony Strickland's gonna
tell us what this new woman's about. Newsom is very
high on her, which means she's probably an idiot. Here
is an exchange of texts between Trump and the Oregon
governor because it looks like the uh, the ice facility
(28:03):
in Portland keeps getting attacked by those Antifa. There's an
Antifa lunatics. Portland has been the center of Antifa violence
for five years now, going back to the George Floyd
era that was worthwhile. The name of the governor, it's
(28:23):
a woman named Tina Kotech, a Democrat, and uh, Trump
has said, you know, because they they've had their share
of of of violence over this ice issue, and he's
he's had enough of it, and he told Kotech that
it's got to end, and then threatened the National Guard.
(28:48):
And she's complaining, there's no need for this. This is uh,
this is wrong. You know, you know, have all rots. Well,
Kotech got a text message from a woman named Natalie Harp,
Trump's assistant, and I'm looking at the text message, Governor,
(29:09):
this is President Trump's assistant, Natalie Harp, sharing from the President.
Here's an exact quote from Trump. Governor, the ice facility
in Portland was attacked again last night. In fact, it
and other federal buildings are being attacked on a nightly basis.
We can't have this. Thank you for your attention to
(29:29):
this matter. And then in capital letters, President Donald J. Trump. Well,
she replied to Natalie Harp. Natalie, please pass this along
to the President. I just received your notice to mobilize
the Oregon National Guard outside of my control. I believe
this is unlawful and unwarranted. You broke your promise to
(29:50):
speak with me before taking further action against Portland. I
will be in touch later, Governor Tina Kotek. The response
from Trump notified you to get things in order, and
you didn't. They attacked our ice patriots last night and
at other times. If you don't get your state in order,
we don't come in. What sorry, If you get your
(30:12):
state in order, we don't come in. But everyone knows
that Portland has been an unmitigated disaster for years. I
won't let that happen in America. President dj T, you
know what you know? I like them at this and
the hegg Seth clips that we played earlier. It's very
clear and direct. There's no gaseous gobbledy cook government babbel speak,
(30:36):
no no jargon, no no, no, none of that, none of
that weird techno jargon that Newsom gets lost in. Not
the weird words salad from Kamala Harris. It's directing to
the point, have your law enforcement stop the attacks on
(30:58):
the Ice building or I'm taking over the National Guard.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
Oh if it's unwarranted and the legals stop it.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
I told you to end the violence at the Ice Building.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
You didn't.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
That's all you have to say. That's all you have
to do. And it's pretty clear it's her responsibility. This
is federal government property. You're supposed to help protect it.
You're in the first line of defense.
Speaker 7 (31:22):
Now.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
If you're not going to do it, that's the property
he's responsible for as president. And what Ice is doing
is the law. So you don't have any leg to
stand on here. Yes, you normally run the National Guard,
but you're not using it or the Oregon State Police
(31:46):
or local Portland police whoever you have got there.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
They're not stopping.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
They have caved in to these lunatic white rich kids
for five years who've done nothing but destroy Portland. I
saw a survey last year seventy five percent of people
of the Portland metropolitan area are scared to go to
downtown Portland. I bet you if you did that survey
(32:14):
here in LA, the percentage would be even higher. People
can't use the downtown they paid for, they can't enjoy it.
They have to stay home, they have to avoid it,
they have to work around it. Now you've got, for
God's sakes, you can't get rid of it. You can't
care of these Antifa people once and for all. Really,
(32:35):
you're going to be held hostage by a bunch of
snotty rich kids who are losers in life. I talked
about this at length yesterday. You said, just listen to
two o'clock hour from yesterday, just about all the studies
they've done and who's in Antifa, who's in all these
who's behind this movement towards socialism and communism? And they're
part of these rebellious groups out in the street and
(32:55):
they're you know, throwing.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
Stuff at ice. It's rich white kids.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
Who somehow failed and are giving up even though they're
only in their twenties, and they're angry and bitter, and
they got college loans, and you know they they you know,
their degree is worthless and there's no job for them.
It's like, well, if you took a degree in like
gender diversity or something, yeah, there's no job for you.
Especially now, I don't know what to tell you, so
(33:22):
I guess, yeah, you probably should start firebombing ice detention
centers or whatever it is that makes you feel better
to overcome your your feelings of loserness, if that's a word,
that's what it is. These are These are you know,
your three people who are doing this rioting or these protests,
or these people working on these socialist and communist political campaigns.
(33:47):
Three times more likely to have a postgraduate degree. These
are people with masters and doctorates. Now a lot of
it is a master doctorate in nonsense studies. You know,
it probably has the word equity or diversity somewhere in there.
And then they went out into the world. It's like,
(34:07):
I don't know what that is. So you're not hired.
Plus you have a bad attitude. But there's a Starbucks
down the street. Or actually they're closing by the hundreds,
I know.
Speaker 3 (34:16):
But you know what, every time I go into a
Starbucks is packed.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
Uh yeah, I thought they were doing really well.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
Me too, But hundreds are closing.
Speaker 3 (34:28):
I know.
Speaker 1 (34:29):
They'll tell you. I saw one close right in front of.
Speaker 3 (34:31):
My eyes, right in front of your eyes.
Speaker 2 (34:34):
Saturday. On the way to the bagel shop, I'm stopped
at a light. I look up Starbucks on the corner,
in the corner of Wilshire in twenty six. I look
up and there's workmen taking down the Starbucks sign. It
was down to star.
Speaker 3 (34:46):
It what I believe you, and they took down the logo.
As long as it's not the bagel shop, John, That's
what I.
Speaker 1 (34:53):
Fear, all right.
Speaker 2 (34:55):
Deborah Mark is next Tony Strickland on after her state
Saturday to talk about the new Looney tune who's running
carb Hey, maybe she can get us to what do
you say, six.
Speaker 1 (35:08):
Dollars a gallon gas by the end of the year.
I'm sure she can do it that. Hell's her name?
Speaker 2 (35:14):
Her name is, Oh yeah, Laren Sanchez. Yeah yeah, Jeff Bezos' wife. Really,
Debra Mark slide in the KFI twenty four hour Newsroom. Hey,
you've been listening to the John Covelt Show podcast. You
can always hear the show live on KFI Am six
forty from one to four pm every Monday through Friday,
and of course, anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app
Can't. I am six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
You're listening to the John Cobelt Podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
We're on every day from one until four o'clock and
after four o'clock John Cobelt's show on demand on the
iHeart app. It's the podcast and that's where you listen
to what you missed every day. But as always, you
shouldn't be missing anything. We got a lot of cool
stuff coming up. I want to start out quickly because
(00:23):
the everyday it's the same problem. There's like more material
than there is time. By the way, it's a lovely
leopard jacket you have on.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
Well, thank you.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
I did want to take ten seconds to dollins.
Speaker 4 (00:35):
I appreciate that. Yeah, I need to wear more leopard.
It makes me happy.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
You should send out a photo of that.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
I should.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Yeah, yeah, you'll get a lot of likes today. You know,
the world not the world. This country is slowly coming
out of the woke nightmare. Not here in California. We
are still under siege here with excessive wokeness, and there
is no safe level of wokeness. All wokeness is successive
(01:03):
and destructive and grossly irritating. But on a national level,
the tide is ebbing, it's getting better. And there was
a big step forward today in Quantico where Pete Hegseth,
(01:24):
the Secretary of War.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
You did hear that we no longer have a defense department.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
I've been saying defense department. Officially, it's the Defense Department.
Unofficially it's the Department of War.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
The Department of War.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
So heg Sath, Trump and all the rest of them
are going with Department of War and he's the Secretary
of War. And you know, that was the first indication
that the world is going to be different. And he
asked that all the generals, all these high ranking military
officials all convened together at Quantaico, and he was giving
(01:59):
like a state of the Military address because he you know,
they ultimately it's you have civilian leaders in charge of
the military operation. So he's at the top of the
food chain, and he reports to Trump and he did
what should have been done like thirty years ago, and
(02:22):
none of this should have ever happened, even for a day.
But he's bringing back the highest standards physically that you
need to have if you're going to fight a war
and defeat all the evil enemies. Now, this is probably
the most UNPC speech you're ever going to hear, in fact,
(02:44):
except you know, this is the way life was up
until some years ago, where it gradually crept in and
infected everything. And he went for it, talking about what
type of physical appearances are not going to be tolerated
in soldiers anymore. We're sailors or pilots, all of it.
(03:06):
So let's start. Uh, he sets it up this way,
We're gonna go with cut five. This is heg Seth
saying that too many military military leaders were promoted for
the wrong reasons.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
For too long.
Speaker 5 (03:19):
We've promoted too many uniform leaders for the wrong reasons,
based on their race, based on gender quotas, based on historics,
so called firsts. We've pretended that combat arms and non
combat arms are the same thing. We've weeded out so
called toxic leaders under the guise of double blind psychology assessments,
(03:41):
promoting risk averse go along to get along conformists instead.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
You name it. The department did it. Foolish and reckless political.
Speaker 5 (03:50):
Leaders set the wrong compass heading and we lost our way.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
We became the woke Department, but not anymore the woke Department.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
And that's what it was because everybody, including military leaders,
were afraid of their own shadow, afraid of anything they said,
any suggestion they made, any policy they made that wouldn't
stand up to the Wolke Gestapo, who were lurking everywhere
waiting to look for new victims that they could capture
and kill. And when you breed an entire culture like that,
(04:26):
you're going to get a lot of a timid, frightened
people because it's this whole era is defined by everybody
being afraid to say what was obvious in front of
their eyes. Now he really gets into it. This is
probably my favorite cut number six.
Speaker 5 (04:43):
This administration has done a great deal from day one
to remove the social justice, politically correct, and toxic ideological garbage.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
That had infected our department. To rip out the politics.
Speaker 5 (04:58):
No more identity months, dei offices, dudes in dresses, no
more climate change worship, no more division distraction or gender delusions,
no more debris.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
As I've said before.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
And we'll say again, we are done with that.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
That's right, no more dudes in dresses. We're trying to
kill people. We're trying to kill people and destroy buildings.
That's what the Department of War is, and you have
to have that even if you're the most pacifist person
in the world. You know, maybe you're a timid pacifist vegan.
Speaker 5 (05:42):
It excuse me, Probably done with that.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
As I'm chomping on an apple.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Yes, we are.
Speaker 5 (05:50):
Done with that.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Okay, we're done with it all right now, he continued,
and he honed in on physical fitness and appearance. Let's
do cut number ten.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
Ten.
Speaker 5 (06:05):
It all starts with physical fitness and appearance. If the
Secretary of War can do regular hard PT so can
every member of our joint force.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Frankly, it's tiring.
Speaker 5 (06:18):
To look out at combat formations or really any formation
and see fat troops. Likewise, it's completely unacceptable to see
fat generals and admirals in the halls of the Pentagon. Yeah,
and leading commands around the country in the world. It's
a bad look. It is bad and it's not who
we are. So whether you're an airborne ranger or a
chairborne ranger, a brand new private or a four star general,
(06:41):
you need to meet the height and weight standards and
pass the PT.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Tests PTS for physical training. Wow, did you ever think
you'd hear this again? In fact, you never used to
hear it, because it was just assumed you got in
the military, you had to be in the finest physical
condition possible, and then suddenly nothing mattered. By the way,
this translates to a lot of lines of work. One
(07:04):
of the worst things about the woke era is turned
on the TV and seeing like some Victoria Secret special
and having all these large, overfed women wobbling down the runway. No,
but nobody wanted to. Nobody wants to see that. No
they don't. I didn't know a single guy who said, Wow,
that's hot, Hey, give me.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
More of that.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
Actually, I think some people actually like heavier women or
heavier men.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
There are people out there, you know. Look, we have furrees, right.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
I'm not saying like the overfed, as you call them people.
I'm just saying to each their own right.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Right, for each his own, but on a like on
a as far as the standard right, I mean, the
term is model. The definition model is that's that's the ideal,
that's what everybody should aspire to.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
Still figured models, right, didn't that come out?
Speaker 2 (07:56):
And that the CEO they had all there's all kinds
of stuff. There's there's a body the positive body positivity movement,
the fat acceptance movement. It's a quote big Pete, hex seth.
It's all bulbly, it's it's just all nonsense, Pete. Human
nature naturally is drawn to attractive people. That's just the
(08:17):
way we are. And that's why for one hundred years,
actors and actresses were fit and attractive generally, and then
you had, you know, the odd ball characters and sitcoms
who might be you know, a tad over fed or unsightly.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
What about the dad bods. That's a craze too, right.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Yeah, and that that's I mean, men get more leeway, yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
Which really sucks.
Speaker 6 (08:43):
I'd like to point that out, but I I know
no woman is really happy with with you know, if
they've got I mean everybody I know, if they start
gaining weight, their wives are the first ones to get
on their case.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
You know.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
No wife looks at their husband and say, yeah, it's cool,
you got an extra forty pounds there.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Nobody.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
So it's always been that way, men versus women, women
versus men, because that's the way we're and and it's.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
Unhealthy, and that's why we have so many eating disorders
out there because we all, we all try to to
be thin because of what.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
You're saying, you have an eating disorder because you're nuts.
Not necessarily, it's not that hard to moderate your intake.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
Actually it is. I'm hungry all the time. I have
to really make a conscious effort not to eat.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
You don't have an eating disorder.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
I do not, But I want to manage it.
Speaker 4 (09:39):
I manage it, but I want I want to be thin.
I feel that pressure to be to be thin.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
You're hungry all the time because you don't eat anything
of substance.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
I eat a lot of cars.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
You know.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Wildflowers and daffodils are not a meal. Whatever it is
you need, no, it's it's it's just I just I've
just got so sick of the nonsense. I remember, God
years ago, we had the National Fat Acceptance Group. We
had a woman on the show. She was the president,
and she got into a big argument. It's like, stop it,
all right, do whatever you want.
Speaker 4 (10:12):
That's what I was going to say. Look, if you
want to be heavy, you be heavy.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
It's okay.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
But you're not becoming a Victoria Seatwert now anymore than
I'm going to be a Los Angeles Dodger. I don't
have the physique of an athlete and I don't have
the talent of an athlete. But the same mentality is.
It's like, well, I want to play for the Dodger.
How about diversity, you know, how about get an older
Polish guy on the field.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
Look, I get when we're talking in the military, you
have to be fit because you are. Yes, it is strenuous,
and I understand that there are certain requirements.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Absolutely well, it's it's It's the same thing in any
line of work which requires a certain physical look or
a certain kind of stamina. Let's say you don't you
don't see you don't see fat athletes, and nobody makes
a case for that.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Nobody. It's funny. In athletics, we accept the merit system.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
We do not look for racial balance, ethnic balance, body
positive balance. We just say, oh, these are the twenty
five best ball players the Dodgers can could get their
hands on. Right, these are the fifty best ball players
of football players that the Rams can get.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
Same thing with the Lakers, right.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
They get they get fifteen basketball players that these guys
can run the fastest, jump the highest and shooting all.
It was there was a real question that we were
supposed to have any kind of diversity, and in a
lot of sports you don't have diversity. Everybody knows that
sports are not racially balanced, clearly, and nobody asked for that,
because then you'd watch a lot of bad basketball or
a lot of bad baseball. I'm tired of seeing bad modeling. Next,
(11:49):
Seth is tired of seeing bad soldiers.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
You don't have to look right if you don't like
the way somebody looks, Oh you don't, you don't have to.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
You don't have to stare.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Became like a religion, though, it's like forced on this.
All ready to take a break, Yes, we do more
coming up. You're feisty today.
Speaker 7 (12:06):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
All right, Pete Hesath says, no more fat soldiers, no
more fat generals. He convened every military leader that could
make it to Quantico, a huge auditorium, and he told
everybody that the days of woke are over, and there's
(12:36):
going to be strict physical fitness guidelines that you have
to meet, and women have to meet the same standards
as men.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Let's play cut thirteen.
Speaker 5 (12:47):
But when it comes to any job that requires physical
power to perform in combat. Those physical standards must be high.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
And gender neutral.
Speaker 5 (12:56):
If women can make it, excellent, If not, it is
what it is. If that means no women qualify for
some combat jobs, so be it. That is not the intent,
but it could be the result, so be it. It
will also that we mean that weak men won't qualify
because we're not playing games. This is combat. This is
(13:17):
life or death, as we all know. This is you
versus an enemy hell bent on killing you. To be
an effective lethal fighting force, you must trust that the
warrior alongside you in battle is capable, truly physically capable of.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Doing what is necessary under fire.
Speaker 5 (13:37):
You know, this is the only standard you would want
for your kids and for your grandkids.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Do you think fighting all those terrorists in the Middle
East and in Afghanistan and Iraq, do you really think
that their standards are this kind of nonsense, that they're
worried about the having the proper representation of men and
women and all the different races and ethnicities. I mean,
(14:04):
we must have been a joke to the whole world
all this time. How can you possibly I mean, we've
got the best weapons, but as far as a philosophy,
it's actually embarrassing. What do you mean you don't send
out the most physically adept people into battle? That makes
(14:27):
no sense. And yeah, weak men aren't part of it either.
I wouldn't pass any of these military tests.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
I wouldn't either.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
Yeah, you don't want me as a soldier. I'm okay,
but them not offended. It's like, no, no, you have
to you have to have a certain number of people
who are like not that muscular and coordinated and physically talented.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Yeah, you have to have You don't want.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Me, Well you're told now you don't want that either.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Anything else.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
Look, i'm too old too, I'm too short.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Yeah, I think you have to be at least five
feet Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
I miss that.
Speaker 4 (15:09):
I'm four eleven and three quarters. Unless I you know,
spike my.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
Hair, well that's not gonna be good enough.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
In fact, you know, they were saying that about the
Do you remember when Trump got shot and one of
the Secret Service agents she was a short woman. She
ran up to stand in front to protect anyone else
from getting taken out, except she was a head shorter
than she needed to be. It's like, if you're going
to stand in the way of a gunman, you've got
(15:39):
to be able to block the gunman. They're going to
fire right over your head.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
That makes sense to me.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
I saw a video online yesterday of a guy in
a fast food joint and he was being violent, right,
he's acting acting crazy. I don't know if he had
just tried to rob the place or or what his
issue was. And they had two female officers who were
who were not like in the best shape themselves, and
(16:07):
they're grappling with this guy and they can't get him.
They can't get him down, they can't get him neutralized
because they just weren't strong enough. It was two on
one and they couldn't They couldn't get him down, and
you know, it was quite a struggle that they had.
It's like, and I'm looking at this and say, hey,
I have this. If you're a woman, that's great, but
(16:30):
you got to be able to do it. You can't
get a job in police department or in the military
just because you're a woman and you're not physically capable
of doing the demanding job that more men can do.
It's just the way the world was created up play well,
(16:51):
play this last one. This is heck seth about diversity.
Speaker 5 (16:55):
As foolish and reckless, as the woke department was those
officers were following elected political leadership. An entire generation of
generals and admirals were told that they must parrot the
insane fallacy that quote, our diversity is our strength.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
Of course, we know our unity is our strength.
Speaker 5 (17:17):
They had to put out dizzying DEI and LGBTQI plus statements.
They were told females and males are the same thing,
or that males who think they're females totally normal. They
were told that we need a green fleet and electric tanks.
They were told to kick out Americans who refused an
(17:38):
emergency vaccine. They followed civilian policies set by foolish and
reckless political leaders.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
Wow, that's at the last decade, doesn't it. You know,
when somebody says all that out loud, in one succinct,
fifty second SoundBite, you realize just how nuts the last
decade has been. That all that stuff he listed is
insane on its own merit you apply it to the
standards of the military in wartime, there's not a word
(18:11):
to describe that type of that type of mental illness.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
All right, more coming up.
Speaker 7 (18:17):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Six forty after four o'clock. We've got John Cabel Show
on demand. That's the podcast, so you could listen to
what you missed. You could hear our that shaming festival.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
That we enjoyed.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
Oh yeah, that was enticing.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
Moist Flight is eight seven seven Moist eighty six eight
seven seven Moist eighty six usually talkback feature on the
iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
Maybe you have some opinions on that.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
All right, now, this this is.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Just so awful.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
What is Karen Bass's only and this is self proclaimed
her only claim to accomplish only accomplishment that she likes
to promote. What's your claim to fame? Inside Safe? Right,
getting homeless people off the streets. And she's got a
(19:14):
lot of bogus statistics. And there's still forty five thousand
vagrants in LA living on the streets. So inside Safe
and that's mostly coercing some of these people to go
into old, dilapidated, disgusting hotels and motels that no one
(19:39):
uses anymore except pimps and prostitutes and their customers.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
That's the whole purpose. Like your aunt and uncle are
in staying at these places, and the.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
City Council is under a new court order to get
the vagrants off the street as a result of a
settlement in a lawsuit, and they have been delaying this
for quite a while because they don't want to get
the vagrants off the street.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
They feel that's wrong.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
And now they're putting the vagrants, the mental patients, and
the drug addicts in motels where the beds are costing us.
They're an LA tax payer. It's costing us one hundred
and twenty thousand dollars a year. A hundred and twenty
thousand dollars a year. Now, most people don't make anywhere
(20:40):
near one hundred and twenty thousand a year, but they
have to account for their shelter in some way. Either
they rent an apartment or a condo, they have a
mortgage on a house, but they're not There's only few
people who make enough to carry out one hundred twenty
(21:02):
thousand dollars housing bill. Yet that's what we're doing for
one vagrant. In some cases, the city Council approved a
report and it showed how much LA is spending to
(21:24):
comply with this settlement from a lawsuit involving LA Alliance
for Human Rights. Because according to the settlement. They have
to find new shelter or housing beds by June twenty
twenty seven for twelve thousand people, thirteen thousand people. And
(21:45):
I'm not going to belabor all these numbers that they
have in the report here because numbers don't work really
well on the radio, gets too confusing.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
But I can tell you in Central LA.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
A homeless bed is costing one hundred and twenty four
thousand dollars. One hundred and twenty four thousand dollars. That
is a that is a particular site. It's called Deluxe.
I don't know if that's the name of a building
(22:22):
a program, but the Deluxe program in Central LA is
giving is spending one hundred and twenty four thousand dollars
for every mental patient and drug addict that that gets
a bed. And they have a section in Venice it's
called Marina seven. The per bed cost is one hundred
(22:44):
and sixteen thousand dollars one hundred and sixteen thousand. The
Motel six in Canoga Park ninety five dollars per vagrant.
We're spending this Karen Bass program is a complete disaster,
(23:09):
a total disaster. How do you create a program where
you're spending ninety five one hundred and sixteen one hundred
and twenty four thousand dollars a year on a single bed,
on a single vagrant.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
There's got to be a thousand different.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Ways you can design the program not to build, not
to spend one hundred and twenty four thousand dollars for
one bed. That's not Let's say it's pure corruption. Where
the hell is that money going? Or the hotel's charging
that much? Who owns these hotels? These hotels and motels
would be absolutely vacant without this inside Safe program. No
(23:54):
nobody's saying, like I said, it's pimps and prostitutes and
drug and drug runners. What about construction tiny home villages?
Tiny homes cost up to eighty six thousand dollars per
(24:16):
bed to build a tiny home bridge homes, and I
think that's more like dorbitory betting seventy two thousand dollars
per bed. This can complete corrupt. She is running such
a corrupt enterprise. This Insight Safe program is a fraud.
(24:41):
It's a bust. It should be shut down, it should
be investigated. People ought to be taken out in handcliffs,
handcuffs for everybody.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
Connected to this program? How could you do this?
Speaker 2 (24:57):
And you know she never holds a press conference on this, right,
she held some press conference tooting her fake numbers a
few months ago. Hold a press conference for this. Go ahead,
stand there, look into the cameras and tell all the taxpayers.
It's like, yeah, we're spending one hundred and twenty four
thousand dollars a year on a single bed for a
single homeless person.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
Go ahead, proud of that.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
Well, that's a that's great administration there, that's corruption. How
do you end up paying that much to whoever the
hell is running these programs or these motels or these
shelters or whatever.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
Unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
And the West Side Current has this story, which is
a news outlet on the West Side. It's online. They
have this stuff. You don't see this anywhere else. Go ahead,
call up the TV station saying, hey, why don't you
do a story on the one hundred and twenty four
thousand dollars that they spend per bed for the mental patients.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
They're not going to return that call. They don't care.
It doesn't matter to them.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
On I mean, I'm shocked by how much money they're spending,
and I'm not shocked. I mean because Karen Vass two
billion dollars is missing. At least this is the money
they can account for. Could you imagine what the unaccounted
money that's missing, what it went for? This is the
(26:27):
accounted money. This they have a paper trail. They know
that checks were written to this motel or that motel,
or this program or this shelter, and they could see
that it got them one hundred and twenty four thousand
dollars per bed. Then there's the two billion that's went
up and smoke.
Speaker 7 (26:43):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM

Speaker 2 (26:49):
We're on every day from one until four o'clock. After
four o'clock, John Cobelt's show on demand, and Tony Strickland,
the state Senator from Huntington Beach, will be on after
debors two o'clock news because there's a new head of
the California Air Resources Board, a new chair, a woman
(27:09):
named Lauren Sanchez. Wait a second, that's not Bezos's wife.
Speaker 3 (27:14):
Is just gonna ask you that hold on.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
I thought I read this story and me look at
it again. No, it's another Lauren Sanchez. Ah, although I
don't know if it would matter. She's been Newsome senior
climate advisor. Oh, she's out of the Biden administration. Oh,
we're in trouble. Wow, we're the only state in the
(27:39):
Union stuck in this wokel All right, Tony Strickland's gonna
tell us what this new woman's about. Newsom is very
high on her, which means she's probably an idiot. Here
is an exchange of texts between Trump and the Oregon
governor because it looks like the uh, the ice facility
(28:03):
in Portland keeps getting attacked by those Antifa. There's an
Antifa lunatics. Portland has been the center of Antifa violence
for five years now, going back to the George Floyd
era that was worthwhile. The name of the governor, it's
(28:23):
a woman named Tina Kotech, a Democrat, and uh, Trump
has said, you know, because they they've had their share
of of of violence over this ice issue, and he's
he's had enough of it, and he told Kotech that
it's got to end, and then threatened the National Guard.
(28:48):
And she's complaining, there's no need for this. This is uh,
this is wrong. You know, you know, have all rots. Well,
Kotech got a text message from a woman named Natalie Harp,
Trump's assistant, and I'm looking at the text message, Governor,
(29:09):
this is President Trump's assistant, Natalie Harp, sharing from the President.
Here's an exact quote from Trump. Governor, the ice facility
in Portland was attacked again last night. In fact, it
and other federal buildings are being attacked on a nightly basis.
We can't have this. Thank you for your attention to
(29:29):
this matter. And then in capital letters, President Donald J. Trump. Well,
she replied to Natalie Harp. Natalie, please pass this along
to the President. I just received your notice to mobilize
the Oregon National Guard outside of my control. I believe
this is unlawful and unwarranted. You broke your promise to
(29:50):
speak with me before taking further action against Portland. I
will be in touch later, Governor Tina Kotek. The response
from Trump notified you to get things in order, and
you didn't. They attacked our ice patriots last night and
at other times. If you don't get your state in order,
we don't come in. What sorry, If you get your
(30:12):
state in order, we don't come in. But everyone knows
that Portland has been an unmitigated disaster for years. I
won't let that happen in America. President dj T, you
know what you know? I like them at this and
the hegg Seth clips that we played earlier. It's very
clear and direct. There's no gaseous gobbledy cook government babbel speak,
(30:36):
no no jargon, no no, no, none of that, none of
that weird techno jargon that Newsom gets lost in. Not
the weird words salad from Kamala Harris. It's directing to
the point, have your law enforcement stop the attacks on
(30:58):
the Ice building or I'm taking over the National Guard.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
Oh if it's unwarranted and the legals stop it.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
I told you to end the violence at the Ice Building.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
You didn't.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
That's all you have to say. That's all you have
to do. And it's pretty clear it's her responsibility. This
is federal government property. You're supposed to help protect it.
You're in the first line of defense.
Speaker 7 (31:22):
Now.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
If you're not going to do it, that's the property
he's responsible for as president. And what Ice is doing
is the law. So you don't have any leg to
stand on here. Yes, you normally run the National Guard,
but you're not using it or the Oregon State Police
(31:46):
or local Portland police whoever you have got there.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
They're not stopping.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
They have caved in to these lunatic white rich kids
for five years who've done nothing but destroy Portland. I
saw a survey last year seventy five percent of people
of the Portland metropolitan area are scared to go to
downtown Portland. I bet you if you did that survey
(32:14):
here in LA, the percentage would be even higher. People
can't use the downtown they paid for, they can't enjoy it.
They have to stay home, they have to avoid it,
they have to work around it. Now you've got, for
God's sakes, you can't get rid of it. You can't
care of these Antifa people once and for all. Really,
(32:35):
you're going to be held hostage by a bunch of
snotty rich kids who are losers in life. I talked
about this at length yesterday. You said, just listen to
two o'clock hour from yesterday, just about all the studies
they've done and who's in Antifa, who's in all these
who's behind this movement towards socialism and communism? And they're
part of these rebellious groups out in the street and
(32:55):
they're you know, throwing.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
Stuff at ice. It's rich white kids.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
Who somehow failed and are giving up even though they're
only in their twenties, and they're angry and bitter, and
they got college loans, and you know they they you know,
their degree is worthless and there's no job for them.
It's like, well, if you took a degree in like
gender diversity or something, yeah, there's no job for you.
Especially now, I don't know what to tell you, so
(33:22):
I guess, yeah, you probably should start firebombing ice detention
centers or whatever it is that makes you feel better
to overcome your your feelings of loserness, if that's a word,
that's what it is. These are These are you know,
your three people who are doing this rioting or these protests,
or these people working on these socialist and communist political campaigns.
(33:47):
Three times more likely to have a postgraduate degree. These
are people with masters and doctorates. Now a lot of
it is a master doctorate in nonsense studies. You know,
it probably has the word equity or diversity somewhere in there.
And then they went out into the world. It's like,
(34:07):
I don't know what that is. So you're not hired.
Plus you have a bad attitude. But there's a Starbucks
down the street. Or actually they're closing by the hundreds,
I know.
Speaker 3 (34:16):
But you know what, every time I go into a
Starbucks is packed.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
Uh yeah, I thought they were doing really well.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
Me too, But hundreds are closing.
Speaker 3 (34:28):
I know.
Speaker 1 (34:29):
They'll tell you. I saw one close right in front of.
Speaker 3 (34:31):
My eyes, right in front of your eyes.
Speaker 2 (34:34):
Saturday. On the way to the bagel shop, I'm stopped
at a light. I look up Starbucks on the corner,
in the corner of Wilshire in twenty six. I look
up and there's workmen taking down the Starbucks sign. It
was down to star.
Speaker 3 (34:46):
It what I believe you, and they took down the logo.
As long as it's not the bagel shop, John, That's
what I.
Speaker 1 (34:53):
Fear, all right.
Speaker 2 (34:55):
Deborah Mark is next Tony Strickland on after her state
Saturday to talk about the new Looney tune who's running
carb Hey, maybe she can get us to what do
you say, six.
Speaker 1 (35:08):
Dollars a gallon gas by the end of the year.
I'm sure she can do it that. Hell's her name?
Speaker 2 (35:14):
Her name is, Oh yeah, Laren Sanchez. Yeah yeah, Jeff Bezos' wife. Really,

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
