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 every day 'ron from one until four o'clock, and
that includes today, Aren't you lucky? Otherwise you just hear
the transmitter humming and after four o'clock every day John
Cobelt Show on demand. That's the podcast version, same as
the radio show. You miss anything, you can play it
all weekend. In fact, you can play any of the
(00:23):
shows all weekend or any time now right before it,
right before two o'clock. Oh oh, let me tell you
what's happened coming up next hour, next hour, we're gonna
have Roger Bailey on Gavin Newsom publicly insisted that he
pre deployed fire assets in pacifica Palisades National Guardsmen before
(00:48):
the start of the Palisades fire. Roger Bailey is the
attorney for many many Pallisaates homeowners who've been burned out.
He says he has proof that Newsom light out is lying,
and I know that's shocking. It's fascinating that he's such
a colossal, pathological liar, and yet people still will vote
(01:11):
for him. In fact, many will vote for him to
be president. That's just it's fascinating about human nature. We'll
talk to Roger Bailey coming up after three o'clock now,
right this minute, in the National Review, I was reading
(01:32):
a story today by Stephen Camarado we've had on the
show because he's the director of research at the Center
for Immigration Studies and the Center for Immigration Studies. We've
had people on from that group more often than any
other immigration group because their name tells you what they
do all day every day. They study immigration, and they
(01:54):
tell you what's what. And Stephen Camarada had a piece
in the National Review to try to this, this should
tamp down some of the hysteria. He said, for years
we've heard that immigration is like the weather. It can't
be controlled, so get used to it. And he's quoting
(02:17):
somebody who wrote a piece in the New York Times
and the title of it was Biden can't stop immigration.
Time to embrace it. He's written by David Beer, an
open borders advocate. You got that Biden can't stop immigration,
Time to embrace it. Twenty twenty four, NPR, which has
(02:40):
since been defunded, told us that despite a fortified border,
migrants will keep coming.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
I've heard this a thousand times every time.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
They're gonna keep coming. You can't put up a wall.
They're gonna find their way. No they won't. It be
to find a way.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
You put up a wall, people can't get in or
can't get out.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
You can't build a prison because you know the prisoners
don't get out.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
No, they won't.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Only a few months into the Trump administration, border encounters
are down ninety three percent.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Those are encounters.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Those are illegal aliens meeting border patrol agents. Do you
know how many people border patrol agents have encountered and
then let's stay in the country Since January?
Speaker 1 (03:32):
You know how many? Zero?
Speaker 2 (03:35):
There's not a single person that the border patrol encountered
at our US Mexican border that they then said, okay,
you can stay. All of them were immediately returned or,
if necessary, detained. Now, how about the ones that were
(03:58):
already here. I for the people who say, you know,
we we have to allow the illegal aliens a chance
to come here to live their dream, they're only coming
here to work. My question always was, okay, how many?
Is there a limit? And that's when these advocates would
(04:21):
then grow silent. It's funny when you ask them a question.
While they're shouting slogans at you say, okay, all right,
yeah sure, let illegal aliens in live the dream come
here to work.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
How many do you know?
Speaker 2 (04:41):
During the Biden administration the four years, the total foreign
born population grew by over eight million people. There's eight
million extra people living in the United States, many of
them here in Los Angeles, and the Center for Immigration
Studies estimate the tooth thirds of the increase was from
illegal immigration.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
So that's what five and a half million.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
You know, how many foreign born residents there are in
the country as of January fifty three million?
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Is that enough? That's legal and illegal? Fifty three billion.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
That's about sixteen percent of the total population. Sixteen percent
of the population is now foreign born. The old record
was reached more than one hundred years ago. Same thing
with the total fifty three billion. So there's eight million
(05:48):
extra people living here, and that's the net increase because
some people are deported, some go home on their own,
some die. So he did the calculation and he said, well,
for the total number of foreign born to increase by
eight million, a minimum of twelve million legal and illegal
(06:11):
immigrants had to arrive during the Biden years.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Twelve million.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Now that doesn't count the children that they get birth
to after they come here.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
So here's the question, is that enough?
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Because when Trump finally shut down the border and in
a matter of minutes the flow dried up, all the
screaming and the whaling and the howling, It's like, well, well,
wait a second, the foreign born population increased by twelve million.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
And an eight million of that was were illegal aliens, Like,
is there no limit?
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Well, of course there's no limit, because the whole purpose
is to undermine our civilization. They don't believe, the advocates
don't believe that. The many in the Biden administration didn't
believe that the US is a legitimate country. We stole
the land, built it on the backs of slaves. We're capitalists,
which exploits workers, and you know, the whole leftist communist routine.
(07:19):
It's the stuff that you know, Karen Bass believes in,
just hides it behind that cute grandmotherly smile. So I
would urge you to read this if you have an
interest in it. I can't read it all on the
air because it gets too complicated. It's a lot of
statistics and you'll see the methods they use to estimate
(07:43):
how many came here, but I'm sure he's in the neighborhood,
very close to the absolute truth. And then you have
to say, well, all, how many and why do we
have to pay for all these people? And we do pay.
(08:03):
Don't listen to though, Well, you know, the illegals pay
taxes too. It's tiny amount. We blow thirty five billion
dollars of state tax money on illegal aliens. Thirty five billion.
I'm sure you've got a list of things that you
see in your life that you think ought to be
addressed by the state government. Well, there's thirty five billion
dollars less because of all the money we pour into
(08:25):
illegal aliens, including twelve million for free healthcare for everybody.
Twelve billion, really, I mean not everybody in America as
free healthcare, but the illegal aliens do. And the hell
(08:48):
with this idea that they come here to work. They
come here to work, and then these these companies pay
them slave wages. And we have seven million men of
adult working age sitting on the side lines getting their
own free medicare. All this all this is absurd, it's all.
It's one layer of absurdity on another, on another, on another,
(09:10):
so yeah, the whole system has to be busted up
and flushed, which now is being done. Got more coming up.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Coming up after three o'clock.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Roger Bailey, the attorney who represents so many Pacific Palisades residents.
He's got proof that Gavin Newson lied when he claimed
he pre deployed one hundred and ten fire engines to
the Palisades before the fire started. We also have a
clip of saying he pre deployed National Guard troops to
la and Roger Bailey says, straw, it's all a big lie.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
So we'll get to that.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
You want to be listening after three o'clock and two
rounds of the moist Line. You probably remember the me
too era, right, Yes? Yeah, yesterday was spend a lot
of time with Harvey Weinstein. He did clips from the
interview he did, and it seems like after they bagged him,
like almost literally the big whale. I think a lot
(10:13):
of the air went out of the whole movement. It's like,
you know, they they had they had a scalp, they
had a guy, they threw him.
Speaker 4 (10:18):
In prison dead Matt lowered, Matty Charlie Rose.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
The anchors are particularly over sex.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
Oh and what about that talk show host that was
a politician? Shoot, I can't remember his name.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Talk show host that was a politician? Yes, what kind
of done? What kind of what kind of talk show
did he do?
Speaker 4 (10:40):
He was on a talk radio show in l a
talk radio station. God, I can't believe he.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Was on a talk radio Well, I don't know. That's nothing.
Nothing's coming to mind.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Okay, I'm looking at there must be a website that lists.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
All the Al Franken.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Oh, al Franken.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Yeah, he used to be uh on eleven fifty back
when that was Air America many years ago. Yeah, oh
he's dead, the US senator. Yes, sure, he got bounced.
It was a lot of hysteria. It got to the point.
I remember there was one comedian I forget his name,
but he actually got like publicly shamed because somebody went
online and basically they had a bad date, miscommunication, misunderstood
(11:23):
each other. There was no real meat, There was no
sexual assault of any kind. There was no uncomfortable you know,
advances being made. After you read it, he realizeses, come on,
that stuff happens but it was. It was, but you'd
be internationally shamed all over the internet. It really was hysteria.
One day, I want to go through all the hysterias
we've suffered through over the last ten years.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
Yeah, you're gonna write a book.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
And then I'm sure somebody already yes. But then they
faded away and nobody's upset anymore about the whole issue.
Nobody even talks about it.
Speaker 4 (11:53):
Well, maybe it's not happening as much as it used to.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Well, all right, that's why I wanted to bring this up.
There is a uh, well, it's a Polish online resume
company named Zetti, and they surveyed one thousand US workers.
They call it the Modern Workplace Romance Report, and they
found that seventy nine percent of the respond and said
they had had long term workplace romances, obviously many of
(12:22):
them with each other.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
You have nearly eighty percent of.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
The of the workforce, so eight and ten people, and
thirty two percent said they dated their boss or superior
of some kind. So if this is true, then all
that stuff that everybody's screaming about, it's all back.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
It's out the window. But I remember when that happened.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
I thought well, and I realized a lot of people
started meeting online. But you know, back when we were
in our twenties, either med people it's at college, right,
or you met people at work.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Where else were you going to go?
Speaker 4 (13:03):
That's it?
Speaker 2 (13:04):
That was it the bar. I mean, I met my
wife on the radio. That was our first conversation.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
A caveman.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
I played the role of a caveman. Yes, and she
apparently was delighted by that. That's what I'm saying. Some
women like caveman. I got lucky.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
My wife was into it.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Eighty six percent of the people think that remote working
made it made it easier to have a work based
romance because there's less risk of being seen by co
workers if you're not in the office, so you could
date co workers because there's no witnesses now night.
Speaker 4 (13:52):
But John, there's a difference, don't you think between dating
somebody coworker and being physically abuse used or sexually harassed? Right,
I mean, if you're dating, that's consensual. If you know
you're going into Matt Lawer's office to bring him coffee
and then he shuts the door automatically.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Blocks the door, Yeah, yes, but going after the the
the bad actors, right, the Matt Lowers and their bad behavior.
There was such a hysteria that people were terrified to
have any kind of an office romance. Guys, I know,
we're terrified of even being a little bit flirtatious with
(14:34):
women in their office that they were attracted to and
who may have been attracted back.
Speaker 4 (14:38):
Right.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
It kind of froze everything.
Speaker 4 (14:39):
But I get that.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
So you didn't want to engage in normal human behavior.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Most guys do not sexually abuse the people they date.
Most guys don't. A few do, and they use the workplace,
you know, use it as a weapon over women who
work for them.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Right, of course that.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
Goes on, But there was such a hystereo. It's like, well,
nobody can date anymore. They created all kinds of human
resource rules about dating in the office and dating and
superior It's like and I thought, no, if two people
want to be with each other, that that's their business.
That's not your business. There shouldn't be a committee voting
on this all the time. This is I mean, you
(15:14):
end up with a lot in common with the people
you work with. I can't think of anything more natural.
And I guess that's all faded away now. I mean,
if any of this stuff is true, ninety one percent
of US workers say they used they have used flirting
or charm to boost their position at work.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
Ninety one percent. That's I mean, that's almost.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
Everybody hasn't worked for me.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Well, you have to be charming.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
Apparently, I'm not.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
You use your Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (15:55):
I do. Well, Yeah, it hasn't gotten me.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Anything, Bobby, you try it, that's right. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
Despite employers, according to this story, commonly banning or restricting
workplace relationships, people keep having them. According to Newsweek, another
survey found seventy two percent of people who've had workplace
romances don't tell management or human resources about them.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Oh, that's ridiculous. You're supposed to inform, yes.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
Really yeah, yep. And if you don't, you get in
big trouble.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
Oh that is that is communism, That is oppression. Good lord.
Speaker 4 (16:33):
I mean, the bad thing about dating somebody in the
workplace is if you break up, you got to see
that person every single day.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
I know.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
But if it's a bad breakup, Wow.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
That's the risk you take them very true, that's the thing,
and that that that shouldn't matter to anybody else anyway.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
That's your business.
Speaker 4 (16:50):
Exactly.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
You want to go in the corner and sulk because
you're looking at the creep again. It's then, you know,
don't don't date anybody. It's very difficult, but I you know,
you compare to those risks. And this is just my opinion.
Apparently much of the world sees it differently to you know,
meeting meeting whack jobs online on those dating apps.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
I mean, I gotta believe that that that is just hidious.
Speaker 4 (17:17):
I mean, the only thing I understand is if a boss, right,
who has who can make or break your career, who's
in charge of you getting a raise or not, you're
sleeping with that person, then people are going to assume
when you get the right, you get the rais you
get the better position. It's because of that. And and
(17:37):
then when that boss breaks up with you, then you
go to HR and then you make accusations and then
it's a whole big mess.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
See that's the risk you take.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
You could end up as a boss h picking the
wrong person to sleep with, right, and uh, you know,
and then and then back then whatever the woman said
was regarded as truth correct believe all women and so
that that's that's what's that's what's scary. That's what was
scary about that era. Oh I get that, and I
(18:07):
bet he could say anything and what are you going
to do? And I think guys got got really frightened
and tired and disgusted of it, because you know, why
bother if you're if you're gonna end up framed and prosecuted.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
All right, got to do the news.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
We're on every day from one until four and then
after four o'clock John Cobelt Show on demand on the
iHeart app after three o'clock.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
You want to be listening.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
Roger Bailey, he's the attorney representing thousands of Palisades Palisades
homeowners who were burned out, and he's got proof that
Gavin Newsom was lying. Newsom claimed publicly that he said
one hundred and ten firefighters or one hundred and ten
(18:57):
fire engines to the Palisades pre deploy before the fire started.
We also have him on record saying he predeployed National
Guard troops for the fire broke out. Well, Roger Bailey
has a proof that that's all a lie, and we'll
talk about that coming up. All right, So Kamala Harris
(19:19):
is out and we'll play more Kamal Eclipse later on.
We played a few earlier. I mean, she's as empty
headed and incoherent as ever, you know. But I'm lying
on my deathbed and I'm pondering all the great unanswered questions.
I'm going to look back and I'm going to say,
how did she end up this close to being president?
Speaker 1 (19:41):
How did this happen?
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Because I've never seen anybody had just more intellectually empty.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
She really cannot.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
She can't coherently express a thought and get to the
end of it, Like she can't start a paragraph and
go to the period in the paragraph and have the
whole thing make any sense at all. Well, now part
two of this with Conal HARRYS. Khan is that, well,
who's running for governor? Who's left? And I'm telling you
(20:15):
it's a bunch of wannabes, no names, washed up former
this or that, a lot of people running to be
the first in their demographic to become California governor. But
it's a lot of like second and third rate losers. Really, truly,
if I go through this list of names, I bet
you more than half of these names you never heard of.
(20:37):
You don't know them yet. All of them have an
inflated sense of ego, and they think.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
You got to be running for governor.
Speaker 5 (20:45):
I believe in me.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Well, we'll start with that guy. He's probably the most
well known.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
He was the mayor of Los Angeles for eight years,
and I realize he looks like somebody'd be on Mount
Rushmore compared to Garcettian Bass, but he's still stunk. As
a mayor of Los Angeles, he bankrupted the city, so
he went bankrupt. He gave crazy raises to all the workers,
and la went broke. Of course, Karen Bass repeated that
(21:14):
same trick because La is broke. Now same thing. Gave
huge raises to all the unions. Then you have massive
budget cuts and you can't get ordinary services out of
the city. He also he ran for governor a few
years ago and did badly. Katie Porter. We know who
(21:35):
Katie Porter is. I know she likes mashed potatoes. We
know her as missus potato Head here on the show.
In fact, if she's running, she is going to be
Missus potato Head during the entire campaign, and if she wins,
she's going to be Governor potato Head. And it's because
like she's kind of nuts from everything I've read, and
(21:55):
she had a nutty husband and they had a big
blowout one day and the husband is sitting at the
at the dinner table with the kids and she takes
a plate of hot mashed potatoes. I think, I think
a pot of hot mashed potatoes inducted it on her head.
Speaker 4 (22:11):
Did he deserve it?
Speaker 2 (22:13):
Possibly he did, But that's that's that's not the way
I mean.
Speaker 4 (22:21):
I wouldn't handle the situation that way. But you did
worst well, depends on what the guy did.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
It was too mild.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
So missus potato Head is claiming that in her palling
she's already the front runner, and in fact, she said,
we're the clear front runner in the race, and she's
putting out fundraising emails already. So we got we got
Tony Vallar, we got missus potato Head. And then let's
(22:51):
see if anyone recognizes this name. Do you know who
the lieutenant governor is? Lanylacus Laney CuNi Locus is correct.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
Congrats.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
You know, if if if if I had the time,
I'd love to go out onto a shopping mall and
list these names to people and see how many of
the names people recognize. I bet you'd only get Vierra
Gosa and uh maybe nobody else. Then there's and this
is your que eric the former Health and Human Services
(23:24):
secretary to Joe Biden, who Joe Biden couldn't identify properly,
known as Xavier Besera.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
Do you have the clip? But that's okay? Uh.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
Then there's now he's a loser. He's a loser guy.
He's out of work. Right, that's it. That's the guy,
Aavier Bakaria. That's what he'll be known as throughout the campaign.
All Right, so we have missus potato head, Javier Bakaria.
We got Tony Villar.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
Then there is uh uh one of the legislative leaders
and I forget and I'm supposed to know these. Oh
she she was either the former not the Speaker of
the Assembly, maybe the former president of the Senate.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
Hang on, Tony Atkins.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
Anybody know who Tony Atkins is?
Speaker 5 (24:19):
This?
Speaker 2 (24:20):
This is one of these you know politicians who you know,
we know because we got to do the news every day,
but nobody knows them. And then let's see, uh, oh,
here's a good one. Tony Thurmond. Tony Thurman, the state
school superintendent. He oversees one of the one of the worst,
if not the worst school system in the country. I mean,
(24:43):
California public schools are near the bottom. They fight it
out with Mississippi and Louisiana for worst school results. Then
there's this is a good one. Betty Yee, Betty ye.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Anybody?
Speaker 4 (25:01):
Yeah, she was in finance?
Speaker 2 (25:03):
What she You're getting close? You actually remember what you read,
don't you? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (25:08):
I do? Former state controller.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
Okay, So we.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
Got Benny Ye, Tony Thurman, Tony Atkins. These are all
the Democratic candidates, Javy or Bakaria, missus Potato head, Elaine Cunolakis.
And then we have Stephen Klueback, who's been on our
show a couple of times. He's the wild card businessman
who's trying to put a campaign together.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
He's a billionaire.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
Then there's two announced Republicans in the race. Chad Bionco,
the Riverside County sheriff.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
We've had him on.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
And then Steve Hilton, a former Fox News host. I
don't know where else he's been. He's the British guy.
He's got a British accent, but all in all. I mean,
Bianco is really interesting because he's not known outside of
Riverside County and maybe the listeners of our show, but
(25:59):
he's definitely a strong personality. Vlaar is really well known,
but he's an idiot. I mean, we're in the worst
shape the California has ever been in its history, and
we're in worse shape than most of the other states.
And you need somebody really strong and really smart, and
(26:23):
somebody is going to be able to shove back at
the legislature because they're insane.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
And so who's going to be able.
Speaker 5 (26:30):
To do this?
Speaker 1 (26:31):
What about Cruso, Well, he's got to run, that's fair.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
And I don't know if he's gonna I don't know
if he's going to run for mayor or governor or
at all. That's another thing, is like this job is
going to be so difficult, who would want it?
Speaker 4 (26:46):
And you got to live in Sacramento And.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
You've got to live in Sacramento. Now, for a lot
of these candidates, they've been in Sacramento most of their
adult lives, or Sacramento will be an.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Upgrade for me.
Speaker 4 (26:56):
But I'm saying Caruso, yes.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
I don't I don't know. I honestly don't know. If
I did know, i'd say, well, I know, but I
can't tell you.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
But I don't know.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
And you know, there's a lot of people who want
him to be mayor. And is it a shame we
don't have two people of his quality. One could be
governor and one could be mayor. Yeah, but these are
these are cartoon characters. Now, yeah, here's the thing. Vire
Gosa and but Sarah both want to be the first
Latino governor. Tony Atkins wants to be the first openly
(27:32):
gay governor.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
Enough of this nonsense.
Speaker 4 (27:37):
I think you should run.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
I do I was asked a couple of times.
Speaker 4 (27:42):
I think you should do it. No, I would miss you.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
Well, i'd give you a cabinet position.
Speaker 4 (27:51):
Can I make more money when I make more money?
Speaker 1 (27:54):
You might, I wouldn't. I'll make you like Caroline Levitt.
Speaker 4 (28:02):
Okay, spokesperson, you can.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
Be the spokesperson.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
Okay, there, you can tell off all the idiot reporters.
Speaker 4 (28:11):
Would be so much fun.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
All right, well we come back.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
I want to play a clip of Gavin Newsom on
a podcast saying that he pre deployed the National Guard.
I want to tell you what Roger Bailey said he
also did that he pre deployed one hundred and ten
fire engines. And as long as we're talking about the fire,
I sometimes read the comments in the La Times section,
(28:36):
which is mostly the same twelve people, and it's mostly nonsense.
But there's one person who knows somebody at the DWP
who has an explanation. As it is totally unverified. This
could be fictional, this could be inaccurate, but I'm just
going to read it out loud, and you've been warned, okay,
all the disclaimers, And actually it was a plausible story
(28:57):
on how the reservoir came to be empty for so long,
and it's about bureaucratic ineptitude.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
So I'll read that coming up.
Speaker 3 (29:06):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
Six forty after three o'clock.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
Roger Bailey, he is an attorney representing many Pacific Palisades homeowners.
We've had him on quite a few times and he's
got proof that Gavin Newsom is has been peddling a
big lie. The Newsom claimed that he sent one hundred
and ten engines and twenty five hundred National guardsmen to
southern California, that they were pre positioned before the January
(29:38):
seventh fire in the Palisades. In fact, he was on
the Sean Ryan Show podcast making these pre deployment claims
about the National Guard. Play cut number one.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
I use the National Guard.
Speaker 5 (29:49):
I deploy them not just on the border and doing
counternin narcotics, anti federol in addiction, but we use them
to deal with forrest and vegetation management with our conservation
Corps and others. Love these guys. Love these guys. Told
you twenty five hundred of them I deployed during the fires.
They were there before the fires occurred in LA I
pre deployed one hundred and ten engines, pre deployed. The
(30:11):
National Guard was part of the pre deployment. All our
airs assets bought them from northern California, southern California. They
were part of that team. Integrated and proud of these guys. Man.
And to see these guys abuse hundreds of millions of
dollars wasted at tax boat. They're sitting in there armories
and then a few of them get to be paraded around.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
All right, this is when he was ranting, They're like,
what the house are we being pread.
Speaker 5 (30:31):
What are we doing to run into a park when
there wasn't one?
Speaker 1 (30:34):
Damn arrest and MacArthur parky, you can stop it there.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
So he clearly said he sent one hundred and ten
engines and twenty five hundred National Guardsmen. Well, according to
Roger Bailey, they have gotten access with a public records request,
and he said that's all wise, and we will talk
to Roger Bailey. Now on the Palisades fire, you know
about the reservoir being empty and the DWP not filling it.
(31:01):
So take this with every possible warning. I have no
idea if this is true. I'm not vouching for it.
I just found it fascinating. There's a woman named Jennifer
five point fifty five who wrote in the La Times
in the comments section under a Palisades fire story. Here's
(31:21):
what she wrote. Not that I believe anything that any
employee of the LADWP has to say, but the reservoir
was built to be an open air reservoir providing both
drinking water and water for other purposes, and the Federal
Clean Water Act requires the reservoirs to be covered if
part of the water will be used for drinking water.
(31:44):
So a soft plasticized fabric type cover was installed over
the reservoir. The cover got torn, had to be patched,
The patch job had to go out for a bid.
The bidding process takes a long time. Now listen to this,
she wrote. The DWP drained the reservoir because while the
cover was torn, serving the drinking water would defy the
(32:08):
Federal Clean Water.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
Act, even though they needed it for the fire.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
The bids came to DWP from one third party contractor.
The charge was reasonable, but the old head person that
the DWP was leaving and the second tier of staff
members decided to wait to let the new boss, presumably
Janie Konz approved the contract. The new top boss at
(32:37):
the DWP again, I'm assuming Kenonias started the work, but
nobody in the second tier of the staff asked her
to well. The new top boss started her job, but
nobody in the second tier of staff asked her to
approve the contract. The head of the DWP's water division
(32:58):
never asked his new boss, Quinnoni, has to approve the
repair contract. More than a year went by after the
reservoir was drained, and eight months after the new boss
that the DWP went to work, so the top two
tiers of the DWP inexplicably failed to get the cover repaired,
(33:20):
and they left the reservoir empty. That's the story that
this comment writer in the La Times relayed. And at
this point in time, the DWP staff at all levels
have been instructed by the city's lawyers not to pedal
bologna to the public why all the foregoing happened, because
(33:42):
they're going to end up as witnesses in the lawsuits.
The city is going to have to pay a tremendous
amount of money, which it doesn't have. And the city,
of course is the taxpayers. I mean, all the people
in the Palisades adding out to Dina and in Malibu,
they deserve to be heavily compensated for everything that they've
(34:04):
suffered through. But so everybody has shut up publicly about
what went on. But that sounds like a reasonable story
to me, that that's that's fought. I don't know if
it's true, not giving any credibility to it beyond that
I just found it. You know, sometimes you read things
and it's like, yeah, I could see that that's plausible,
(34:27):
and I haven't seen anything else. It'll come out eventually
when we come back Roger Bailey, and he had a
Public Records Act request to find out if Gavin Newsom
was telling the truth that he sent one hundred and
ten engines and twenty five hundred National Guardsmen to southern
California preposition them before January seventh? Was Gavin Newsom lying
(34:52):
what do you think? Deborah Mark Live MCKAFI twenty four
Hour Newsroom. Hey, you've been listening to The John Cobalt
Show podcast. You can please 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 every day 'ron from one until four o'clock, and
that includes today, Aren't you lucky? Otherwise you just hear
the transmitter humming and after four o'clock every day John
Cobelt Show on demand. That's the podcast version, same as
the radio show. You miss anything, you can play it
all weekend. In fact, you can play any of the
(00:23):
shows all weekend or any time now right before it,
right before two o'clock. Oh oh, let me tell you
what's happened coming up next hour, next hour, we're gonna
have Roger Bailey on Gavin Newsom publicly insisted that he
pre deployed fire assets in pacifica Palisades National Guardsmen before
(00:48):
the start of the Palisades fire. Roger Bailey is the
attorney for many many Pallisaates homeowners who've been burned out.
He says he has proof that Newsom light out is lying,
and I know that's shocking. It's fascinating that he's such
a colossal, pathological liar, and yet people still will vote
(01:11):
for him. In fact, many will vote for him to
be president. That's just it's fascinating about human nature. We'll
talk to Roger Bailey coming up after three o'clock now,
right this minute, in the National Review, I was reading
(01:32):
a story today by Stephen Camarado we've had on the
show because he's the director of research at the Center
for Immigration Studies and the Center for Immigration Studies. We've
had people on from that group more often than any
other immigration group because their name tells you what they
do all day every day. They study immigration, and they
(01:54):
tell you what's what. And Stephen Camarada had a piece
in the National Review to try to this, this should
tamp down some of the hysteria. He said, for years
we've heard that immigration is like the weather. It can't
be controlled, so get used to it. And he's quoting
(02:17):
somebody who wrote a piece in the New York Times
and the title of it was Biden can't stop immigration.
Time to embrace it. He's written by David Beer, an
open borders advocate. You got that Biden can't stop immigration,
Time to embrace it. Twenty twenty four, NPR, which has
(02:40):
since been defunded, told us that despite a fortified border,
migrants will keep coming.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
I've heard this a thousand times every time.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
They're gonna keep coming. You can't put up a wall.
They're gonna find their way. No they won't. It be
to find a way.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
You put up a wall, people can't get in or
can't get out.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
You can't build a prison because you know the prisoners
don't get out.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
No, they won't.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Only a few months into the Trump administration, border encounters
are down ninety three percent.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Those are encounters.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Those are illegal aliens meeting border patrol agents. Do you
know how many people border patrol agents have encountered and
then let's stay in the country Since January?
Speaker 1 (03:32):
You know how many? Zero?
Speaker 2 (03:35):
There's not a single person that the border patrol encountered
at our US Mexican border that they then said, okay,
you can stay. All of them were immediately returned or,
if necessary, detained. Now, how about the ones that were
(03:58):
already here. I for the people who say, you know,
we we have to allow the illegal aliens a chance
to come here to live their dream, they're only coming
here to work. My question always was, okay, how many?
Is there a limit? And that's when these advocates would
(04:21):
then grow silent. It's funny when you ask them a question.
While they're shouting slogans at you say, okay, all right,
yeah sure, let illegal aliens in live the dream come
here to work.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
How many do you know?
Speaker 2 (04:41):
During the Biden administration the four years, the total foreign
born population grew by over eight million people. There's eight
million extra people living in the United States, many of
them here in Los Angeles, and the Center for Immigration
Studies estimate the tooth thirds of the increase was from
illegal immigration.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
So that's what five and a half million.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
You know, how many foreign born residents there are in
the country as of January fifty three million?
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Is that enough? That's legal and illegal? Fifty three billion.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
That's about sixteen percent of the total population. Sixteen percent
of the population is now foreign born. The old record
was reached more than one hundred years ago. Same thing
with the total fifty three billion. So there's eight million
(05:48):
extra people living here, and that's the net increase because
some people are deported, some go home on their own,
some die. So he did the calculation and he said, well,
for the total number of foreign born to increase by
eight million, a minimum of twelve million legal and illegal
(06:11):
immigrants had to arrive during the Biden years.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Twelve million.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Now that doesn't count the children that they get birth
to after they come here.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
So here's the question, is that enough?
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Because when Trump finally shut down the border and in
a matter of minutes the flow dried up, all the
screaming and the whaling and the howling, It's like, well, well,
wait a second, the foreign born population increased by twelve million.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
And an eight million of that was were illegal aliens, Like,
is there no limit?
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Well, of course there's no limit, because the whole purpose
is to undermine our civilization. They don't believe, the advocates
don't believe that. The many in the Biden administration didn't
believe that the US is a legitimate country. We stole
the land, built it on the backs of slaves. We're capitalists,
which exploits workers, and you know, the whole leftist communist routine.
(07:19):
It's the stuff that you know, Karen Bass believes in,
just hides it behind that cute grandmotherly smile. So I
would urge you to read this if you have an
interest in it. I can't read it all on the
air because it gets too complicated. It's a lot of
statistics and you'll see the methods they use to estimate
(07:43):
how many came here, but I'm sure he's in the neighborhood,
very close to the absolute truth. And then you have
to say, well, all, how many and why do we
have to pay for all these people? And we do pay.
(08:03):
Don't listen to though, Well, you know, the illegals pay
taxes too. It's tiny amount. We blow thirty five billion
dollars of state tax money on illegal aliens. Thirty five billion.
I'm sure you've got a list of things that you
see in your life that you think ought to be
addressed by the state government. Well, there's thirty five billion
dollars less because of all the money we pour into
(08:25):
illegal aliens, including twelve million for free healthcare for everybody.
Twelve billion, really, I mean not everybody in America as
free healthcare, but the illegal aliens do. And the hell
(08:48):
with this idea that they come here to work. They
come here to work, and then these these companies pay
them slave wages. And we have seven million men of
adult working age sitting on the side lines getting their
own free medicare. All this all this is absurd, it's all.
It's one layer of absurdity on another, on another, on another,
(09:10):
so yeah, the whole system has to be busted up
and flushed, which now is being done. Got more coming up.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Coming up after three o'clock.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Roger Bailey, the attorney who represents so many Pacific Palisades residents.
He's got proof that Gavin Newson lied when he claimed
he pre deployed one hundred and ten fire engines to
the Palisades before the fire started. We also have a
clip of saying he pre deployed National Guard troops to
la and Roger Bailey says, straw, it's all a big lie.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
So we'll get to that.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
You want to be listening after three o'clock and two
rounds of the moist Line. You probably remember the me
too era, right, Yes? Yeah, yesterday was spend a lot
of time with Harvey Weinstein. He did clips from the
interview he did, and it seems like after they bagged him,
like almost literally the big whale. I think a lot
(10:13):
of the air went out of the whole movement. It's like,
you know, they they had they had a scalp, they
had a guy, they threw him.
Speaker 4 (10:18):
In prison dead Matt lowered, Matty Charlie Rose.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
The anchors are particularly over sex.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
Oh and what about that talk show host that was
a politician? Shoot, I can't remember his name.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Talk show host that was a politician? Yes, what kind
of done? What kind of what kind of talk show
did he do?
Speaker 4 (10:40):
He was on a talk radio show in l a
talk radio station. God, I can't believe he.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Was on a talk radio Well, I don't know. That's nothing.
Nothing's coming to mind.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Okay, I'm looking at there must be a website that lists.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
All the Al Franken.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Oh, al Franken.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Yeah, he used to be uh on eleven fifty back
when that was Air America many years ago. Yeah, oh
he's dead, the US senator. Yes, sure, he got bounced.
It was a lot of hysteria. It got to the point.
I remember there was one comedian I forget his name,
but he actually got like publicly shamed because somebody went
online and basically they had a bad date, miscommunication, misunderstood
(11:23):
each other. There was no real meat, There was no
sexual assault of any kind. There was no uncomfortable you know,
advances being made. After you read it, he realizeses, come on,
that stuff happens but it was. It was, but you'd
be internationally shamed all over the internet. It really was hysteria.
One day, I want to go through all the hysterias
we've suffered through over the last ten years.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
Yeah, you're gonna write a book.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
And then I'm sure somebody already yes. But then they
faded away and nobody's upset anymore about the whole issue.
Nobody even talks about it.
Speaker 4 (11:53):
Well, maybe it's not happening as much as it used to.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Well, all right, that's why I wanted to bring this up.
There is a uh, well, it's a Polish online resume
company named Zetti, and they surveyed one thousand US workers.
They call it the Modern Workplace Romance Report, and they
found that seventy nine percent of the respond and said
they had had long term workplace romances, obviously many of
(12:22):
them with each other.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
You have nearly eighty percent of.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
The of the workforce, so eight and ten people, and
thirty two percent said they dated their boss or superior
of some kind. So if this is true, then all
that stuff that everybody's screaming about, it's all back.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
It's out the window. But I remember when that happened.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
I thought well, and I realized a lot of people
started meeting online. But you know, back when we were
in our twenties, either med people it's at college, right,
or you met people at work.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Where else were you going to go?
Speaker 4 (13:03):
That's it?
Speaker 2 (13:04):
That was it the bar. I mean, I met my
wife on the radio. That was our first conversation.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
A caveman.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
I played the role of a caveman. Yes, and she
apparently was delighted by that. That's what I'm saying. Some
women like caveman. I got lucky.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
My wife was into it.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Eighty six percent of the people think that remote working
made it made it easier to have a work based
romance because there's less risk of being seen by co
workers if you're not in the office, so you could
date co workers because there's no witnesses now night.
Speaker 4 (13:52):
But John, there's a difference, don't you think between dating
somebody coworker and being physically abuse used or sexually harassed? Right,
I mean, if you're dating, that's consensual. If you know
you're going into Matt Lawer's office to bring him coffee
and then he shuts the door automatically.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Blocks the door, Yeah, yes, but going after the the
the bad actors, right, the Matt Lowers and their bad behavior.
There was such a hysteria that people were terrified to
have any kind of an office romance. Guys, I know,
we're terrified of even being a little bit flirtatious with
(14:34):
women in their office that they were attracted to and
who may have been attracted back.
Speaker 4 (14:38):
Right.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
It kind of froze everything.
Speaker 4 (14:39):
But I get that.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
So you didn't want to engage in normal human behavior.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Most guys do not sexually abuse the people they date.
Most guys don't. A few do, and they use the workplace,
you know, use it as a weapon over women who
work for them.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Right, of course that.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
Goes on, But there was such a hystereo. It's like, well,
nobody can date anymore. They created all kinds of human
resource rules about dating in the office and dating and
superior It's like and I thought, no, if two people
want to be with each other, that that's their business.
That's not your business. There shouldn't be a committee voting
on this all the time. This is I mean, you
(15:14):
end up with a lot in common with the people
you work with. I can't think of anything more natural.
And I guess that's all faded away now. I mean,
if any of this stuff is true, ninety one percent
of US workers say they used they have used flirting
or charm to boost their position at work.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
Ninety one percent. That's I mean, that's almost.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
Everybody hasn't worked for me.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Well, you have to be charming.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
Apparently, I'm not.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
You use your Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (15:55):
I do. Well, Yeah, it hasn't gotten me.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Anything, Bobby, you try it, that's right. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
Despite employers, according to this story, commonly banning or restricting
workplace relationships, people keep having them. According to Newsweek, another
survey found seventy two percent of people who've had workplace
romances don't tell management or human resources about them.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Oh, that's ridiculous. You're supposed to inform, yes.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
Really yeah, yep. And if you don't, you get in
big trouble.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
Oh that is that is communism, That is oppression. Good lord.
Speaker 4 (16:33):
I mean, the bad thing about dating somebody in the
workplace is if you break up, you got to see
that person every single day.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
I know.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
But if it's a bad breakup, Wow.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
That's the risk you take them very true, that's the thing,
and that that that shouldn't matter to anybody else anyway.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
That's your business.
Speaker 4 (16:50):
Exactly.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
You want to go in the corner and sulk because
you're looking at the creep again. It's then, you know,
don't don't date anybody. It's very difficult, but I you know,
you compare to those risks. And this is just my opinion.
Apparently much of the world sees it differently to you know,
meeting meeting whack jobs online on those dating apps.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
I mean, I gotta believe that that that is just hidious.
Speaker 4 (17:17):
I mean, the only thing I understand is if a boss, right,
who has who can make or break your career, who's
in charge of you getting a raise or not, you're
sleeping with that person, then people are going to assume
when you get the right, you get the rais you
get the better position. It's because of that. And and
(17:37):
then when that boss breaks up with you, then you
go to HR and then you make accusations and then
it's a whole big mess.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
See that's the risk you take.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
You could end up as a boss h picking the
wrong person to sleep with, right, and uh, you know,
and then and then back then whatever the woman said
was regarded as truth correct believe all women and so
that that's that's what's that's what's scary. That's what was
scary about that era. Oh I get that, and I
(18:07):
bet he could say anything and what are you going
to do? And I think guys got got really frightened
and tired and disgusted of it, because you know, why
bother if you're if you're gonna end up framed and prosecuted.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
All right, got to do the news.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
We're on every day from one until four and then
after four o'clock John Cobelt Show on demand on the
iHeart app after three o'clock.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
You want to be listening.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
Roger Bailey, he's the attorney representing thousands of Palisades Palisades
homeowners who were burned out, and he's got proof that
Gavin Newsom was lying. Newsom claimed publicly that he said
one hundred and ten firefighters or one hundred and ten
(18:57):
fire engines to the Palisades pre deploy before the fire started.
We also have him on record saying he predeployed National
Guard troops for the fire broke out. Well, Roger Bailey
has a proof that that's all a lie, and we'll
talk about that coming up. All right, So Kamala Harris
(19:19):
is out and we'll play more Kamal Eclipse later on.
We played a few earlier. I mean, she's as empty
headed and incoherent as ever, you know. But I'm lying
on my deathbed and I'm pondering all the great unanswered questions.
I'm going to look back and I'm going to say,
how did she end up this close to being president?
Speaker 1 (19:41):
How did this happen?
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Because I've never seen anybody had just more intellectually empty.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
She really cannot.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
She can't coherently express a thought and get to the
end of it, Like she can't start a paragraph and
go to the period in the paragraph and have the
whole thing make any sense at all. Well, now part
two of this with Conal HARRYS. Khan is that, well,
who's running for governor? Who's left? And I'm telling you
(20:15):
it's a bunch of wannabes, no names, washed up former
this or that, a lot of people running to be
the first in their demographic to become California governor. But
it's a lot of like second and third rate losers. Really, truly,
if I go through this list of names, I bet
you more than half of these names you never heard of.
(20:37):
You don't know them yet. All of them have an
inflated sense of ego, and they think.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
You got to be running for governor.
Speaker 5 (20:45):
I believe in me.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Well, we'll start with that guy. He's probably the most
well known.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
He was the mayor of Los Angeles for eight years,
and I realize he looks like somebody'd be on Mount
Rushmore compared to Garcettian Bass, but he's still stunk. As
a mayor of Los Angeles, he bankrupted the city, so
he went bankrupt. He gave crazy raises to all the workers,
and la went broke. Of course, Karen Bass repeated that
(21:14):
same trick because La is broke. Now same thing. Gave
huge raises to all the unions. Then you have massive
budget cuts and you can't get ordinary services out of
the city. He also he ran for governor a few
years ago and did badly. Katie Porter. We know who
(21:35):
Katie Porter is. I know she likes mashed potatoes. We
know her as missus potato Head here on the show.
In fact, if she's running, she is going to be
Missus potato Head during the entire campaign, and if she wins,
she's going to be Governor potato Head. And it's because
like she's kind of nuts from everything I've read, and
(21:55):
she had a nutty husband and they had a big
blowout one day and the husband is sitting at the
at the dinner table with the kids and she takes
a plate of hot mashed potatoes. I think, I think
a pot of hot mashed potatoes inducted it on her head.
Speaker 4 (22:11):
Did he deserve it?
Speaker 2 (22:13):
Possibly he did, But that's that's that's not the way
I mean.
Speaker 4 (22:21):
I wouldn't handle the situation that way. But you did
worst well, depends on what the guy did.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
It was too mild.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
So missus potato Head is claiming that in her palling
she's already the front runner, and in fact, she said,
we're the clear front runner in the race, and she's
putting out fundraising emails already. So we got we got
Tony Vallar, we got missus potato Head. And then let's
(22:51):
see if anyone recognizes this name. Do you know who
the lieutenant governor is? Lanylacus Laney CuNi Locus is correct.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
Congrats.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
You know, if if if if I had the time,
I'd love to go out onto a shopping mall and
list these names to people and see how many of
the names people recognize. I bet you'd only get Vierra
Gosa and uh maybe nobody else. Then there's and this
is your que eric the former Health and Human Services
(23:24):
secretary to Joe Biden, who Joe Biden couldn't identify properly,
known as Xavier Besera.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
Do you have the clip? But that's okay? Uh.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
Then there's now he's a loser. He's a loser guy.
He's out of work. Right, that's it. That's the guy,
Aavier Bakaria. That's what he'll be known as throughout the campaign.
All Right, so we have missus potato head, Javier Bakaria.
We got Tony Villar.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
Then there is uh uh one of the legislative leaders
and I forget and I'm supposed to know these. Oh
she she was either the former not the Speaker of
the Assembly, maybe the former president of the Senate.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
Hang on, Tony Atkins.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
Anybody know who Tony Atkins is?
Speaker 5 (24:19):
This?
Speaker 2 (24:20):
This is one of these you know politicians who you know,
we know because we got to do the news every day,
but nobody knows them. And then let's see, uh, oh,
here's a good one. Tony Thurmond. Tony Thurman, the state
school superintendent. He oversees one of the one of the worst,
if not the worst school system in the country. I mean,
(24:43):
California public schools are near the bottom. They fight it
out with Mississippi and Louisiana for worst school results. Then
there's this is a good one. Betty Yee, Betty ye.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Anybody?
Speaker 4 (25:01):
Yeah, she was in finance?
Speaker 2 (25:03):
What she You're getting close? You actually remember what you read,
don't you? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (25:08):
I do? Former state controller.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
Okay, So we.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
Got Benny Ye, Tony Thurman, Tony Atkins. These are all
the Democratic candidates, Javy or Bakaria, missus Potato head, Elaine Cunolakis.
And then we have Stephen Klueback, who's been on our
show a couple of times. He's the wild card businessman
who's trying to put a campaign together.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
He's a billionaire.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
Then there's two announced Republicans in the race. Chad Bionco,
the Riverside County sheriff.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
We've had him on.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
And then Steve Hilton, a former Fox News host. I
don't know where else he's been. He's the British guy.
He's got a British accent, but all in all. I mean,
Bianco is really interesting because he's not known outside of
Riverside County and maybe the listeners of our show, but
(25:59):
he's definitely a strong personality. Vlaar is really well known,
but he's an idiot. I mean, we're in the worst
shape the California has ever been in its history, and
we're in worse shape than most of the other states.
And you need somebody really strong and really smart, and
(26:23):
somebody is going to be able to shove back at
the legislature because they're insane.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
And so who's going to be able.
Speaker 5 (26:30):
To do this?
Speaker 1 (26:31):
What about Cruso, Well, he's got to run, that's fair.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
And I don't know if he's gonna I don't know
if he's going to run for mayor or governor or
at all. That's another thing, is like this job is
going to be so difficult, who would want it?
Speaker 4 (26:46):
And you got to live in Sacramento And.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
You've got to live in Sacramento. Now, for a lot
of these candidates, they've been in Sacramento most of their
adult lives, or Sacramento will be an.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Upgrade for me.
Speaker 4 (26:56):
But I'm saying Caruso, yes.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
I don't I don't know. I honestly don't know. If
I did know, i'd say, well, I know, but I
can't tell you.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
But I don't know.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
And you know, there's a lot of people who want
him to be mayor. And is it a shame we
don't have two people of his quality. One could be
governor and one could be mayor. Yeah, but these are
these are cartoon characters. Now, yeah, here's the thing. Vire
Gosa and but Sarah both want to be the first
Latino governor. Tony Atkins wants to be the first openly
(27:32):
gay governor.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
Enough of this nonsense.
Speaker 4 (27:37):
I think you should run.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
I do I was asked a couple of times.
Speaker 4 (27:42):
I think you should do it. No, I would miss you.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
Well, i'd give you a cabinet position.
Speaker 4 (27:51):
Can I make more money when I make more money?
Speaker 1 (27:54):
You might, I wouldn't. I'll make you like Caroline Levitt.
Speaker 4 (28:02):
Okay, spokesperson, you can.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
Be the spokesperson.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
Okay, there, you can tell off all the idiot reporters.
Speaker 4 (28:11):
Would be so much fun.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
All right, well we come back.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
I want to play a clip of Gavin Newsom on
a podcast saying that he pre deployed the National Guard.
I want to tell you what Roger Bailey said he
also did that he pre deployed one hundred and ten
fire engines. And as long as we're talking about the fire,
I sometimes read the comments in the La Times section,
(28:36):
which is mostly the same twelve people, and it's mostly nonsense.
But there's one person who knows somebody at the DWP
who has an explanation. As it is totally unverified. This
could be fictional, this could be inaccurate, but I'm just
going to read it out loud, and you've been warned, okay,
all the disclaimers, And actually it was a plausible story
(28:57):
on how the reservoir came to be empty for so long,
and it's about bureaucratic ineptitude.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
So I'll read that coming up.
Speaker 3 (29:06):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
Six forty after three o'clock.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
Roger Bailey, he is an attorney representing many Pacific Palisades homeowners.
We've had him on quite a few times and he's
got proof that Gavin Newsom is has been peddling a
big lie. The Newsom claimed that he sent one hundred
and ten engines and twenty five hundred National guardsmen to
southern California, that they were pre positioned before the January
(29:38):
seventh fire in the Palisades. In fact, he was on
the Sean Ryan Show podcast making these pre deployment claims
about the National Guard. Play cut number one.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
I use the National Guard.
Speaker 5 (29:49):
I deploy them not just on the border and doing
counternin narcotics, anti federol in addiction, but we use them
to deal with forrest and vegetation management with our conservation
Corps and others. Love these guys. Love these guys. Told
you twenty five hundred of them I deployed during the fires.
They were there before the fires occurred in LA I
pre deployed one hundred and ten engines, pre deployed. The
(30:11):
National Guard was part of the pre deployment. All our
airs assets bought them from northern California, southern California. They
were part of that team. Integrated and proud of these guys. Man.
And to see these guys abuse hundreds of millions of
dollars wasted at tax boat. They're sitting in there armories
and then a few of them get to be paraded around.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
All right, this is when he was ranting, They're like,
what the house are we being pread.
Speaker 5 (30:31):
What are we doing to run into a park when
there wasn't one?
Speaker 1 (30:34):
Damn arrest and MacArthur parky, you can stop it there.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
So he clearly said he sent one hundred and ten
engines and twenty five hundred National Guardsmen. Well, according to
Roger Bailey, they have gotten access with a public records request,
and he said that's all wise, and we will talk
to Roger Bailey. Now on the Palisades fire, you know
about the reservoir being empty and the DWP not filling it.
(31:01):
So take this with every possible warning. I have no
idea if this is true. I'm not vouching for it.
I just found it fascinating. There's a woman named Jennifer
five point fifty five who wrote in the La Times
in the comments section under a Palisades fire story. Here's
(31:21):
what she wrote. Not that I believe anything that any
employee of the LADWP has to say, but the reservoir
was built to be an open air reservoir providing both
drinking water and water for other purposes, and the Federal
Clean Water Act requires the reservoirs to be covered if
part of the water will be used for drinking water.
(31:44):
So a soft plasticized fabric type cover was installed over
the reservoir. The cover got torn, had to be patched,
The patch job had to go out for a bid.
The bidding process takes a long time. Now listen to this,
she wrote. The DWP drained the reservoir because while the
cover was torn, serving the drinking water would defy the
(32:08):
Federal Clean Water.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
Act, even though they needed it for the fire.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
The bids came to DWP from one third party contractor.
The charge was reasonable, but the old head person that
the DWP was leaving and the second tier of staff
members decided to wait to let the new boss, presumably
Janie Konz approved the contract. The new top boss at
(32:37):
the DWP again, I'm assuming Kenonias started the work, but
nobody in the second tier of the staff asked her
to well. The new top boss started her job, but
nobody in the second tier of staff asked her to
approve the contract. The head of the DWP's water division
(32:58):
never asked his new boss, Quinnoni, has to approve the
repair contract. More than a year went by after the
reservoir was drained, and eight months after the new boss
that the DWP went to work, so the top two
tiers of the DWP inexplicably failed to get the cover repaired,
(33:20):
and they left the reservoir empty. That's the story that
this comment writer in the La Times relayed. And at
this point in time, the DWP staff at all levels
have been instructed by the city's lawyers not to pedal
bologna to the public why all the foregoing happened, because
(33:42):
they're going to end up as witnesses in the lawsuits.
The city is going to have to pay a tremendous
amount of money, which it doesn't have. And the city,
of course is the taxpayers. I mean, all the people
in the Palisades adding out to Dina and in Malibu,
they deserve to be heavily compensated for everything that they've
(34:04):
suffered through. But so everybody has shut up publicly about
what went on. But that sounds like a reasonable story
to me, that that's that's fought. I don't know if
it's true, not giving any credibility to it beyond that
I just found it. You know, sometimes you read things
and it's like, yeah, I could see that that's plausible,
(34:27):
and I haven't seen anything else. It'll come out eventually
when we come back Roger Bailey, and he had a
Public Records Act request to find out if Gavin Newsom
was telling the truth that he sent one hundred and
ten engines and twenty five hundred National Guardsmen to southern
California preposition them before January seventh? Was Gavin Newsom lying
(34:52):
