Speaker 1 (00:00):
Can't.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
I am six forty. You're listening to the John Cobelt
podcast on the iHeartRadio app. It's John Cobelt Show. Welcome Again.
We're on every day from one until four o'clock, and
then every day after four o'clock it becomes a podcast,
John Cobelt's Show on demand, same as the radio show.
You catch up on whatever you missed. And we're opening
here with former Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. He is back in
(00:24):
the political mix because Schwarzeneger way back in twenty ten,
was one of the forces behind a proposition that created
an independent redistricting commission in California. Census comes out every
ten years. They redraw the congressional district lines based on
(00:45):
the new population mix, and Schwarzenegger's plan was it should
be independent, no political influence from people in Sacramento or
anywhere else. And we've worked with that now for fifteen
years and Gavin Newsome on Stone do it. That's what
Prop fifty is about. He wants to take away the
independent commission and return the power basically to his political buddies.
(01:09):
And we've talked much about this. Schwartzeger is backstarring in
commercials for no on Prop fifty and let's get the
governor on right now. You gon to Schwartzager, welcome today.
I'm fine, How are you terrific?
Speaker 1 (01:24):
I just got back from Europe. I was over there,
you know, a wonderful trip, getting an award in Spain
and Malaga from my work in the movies. And then
I went from there to the Munich at the Oktoberfest
with my son, who celebrated his birth with his buddies
(01:44):
over there in Munich. And then I went to Rome
for an environmental conference with the Pope, and so it
was a really interesting trip, the whole thing. Now I'm
back again here, and of course, as you said, I
never thought that I have to talk about, you know,
politics and all of this stuff again because I don't
really get involved in in all this policy stuff here
(02:07):
in California, even though there's a lot of things I
don't like, but I don't get really involved. But in
this one I have to get involved because it's just
so crazy of what they're trying to do. Just because
Texas is now we didn't readdistrict thing. Now they say
we have to do the same thing. We have to
fight fire with fire. And all of this stuff. And
(02:31):
you know, I said to myself, well, this is insane.
Two wrongs don't make it right. And you know, and
to do undo this independent commission and to take away
the power from the people again and to give it
back to the politicians. I think it's just such a
wrong thing to do, and it's really bad, I think
(02:51):
for California. And so I just wanted to basically get
involved in to tell the people as that, you know,
to let them know that I'm against the idea of
you know, kind of like putting this in hiatus, this
independent you know, redistrict incommission, because there's all lies. Basically,
(03:11):
the politicians are going out there and saying this is
just temporary. Have you ever seen a government program that's temporary.
I mean, the longest lasting programs are the ones that
are temporary government programs. I mean, whenever they say that
it's temporary with taxes, oh man, they're going to continue,
you know, hitting you with the taxes, and they will
(03:33):
extend and extend and extend. And the same thing they're
going to do with the redistrict in Commission because they
say this is only going to be for six years.
So I don't even know why they want to do
it for six years. But the bottom line is, after
six years, they're going to say, oh, in Texas, there's
still cherry mandering, so we have to do the same thing.
So it's all a bunch of nonsense. It's lies, and
(03:54):
it's to deceive the people and all of this eff
So I just want to let the people know nothing
pulting at stake here. I just want to make sure
that we're protecting our democracy and that we are not
going to have those politicians rewrite the Constitution of California
in order to give them more power. That's the bottom line.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Back in twenty ten, this thing passed sixty one to
thirty nine. It was had overwhelming support and.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Had overwhelming support, and the reason why the people who
supported it was because they wanted to take that power
away from the people, the power of drawing the district lines,
the power of cherrymandering and fixing the elections. So they
that we finally got rid of that after all of
this years and decades, and we've created you maybe one
(04:43):
of the first states to create this independent commission, and
it worked really fantastic. But now you know, NUSOM is
trying to run for president. I guess that's why he's
trying to kind of say, oh, we have to go
and attack Trump, and we have to go into fight
Trump and all of this stuff. So I understand he's
(05:03):
agenda and what he wants to accomplish here. But this
is all good for him, and this is all good
for the power additions, but it's not good for the people.
It's terrible for the people because the way what happens
is is when you give them more power, what if
they're done with the power so far? I mean, think
(05:24):
about that. I mean, we have the highest costs of
living here in California. We have the highest rents in California.
We have the highest prices of homes in California. They
went they crippled in two thousand and ten. I just
read the headline that in San Francisco the rent is
(05:45):
going up but twelve percent in the last year alone.
We have the highest gassoleline prices in the nation. We
have the highest elegricity prices in the nation. So all
of this stuff doesn't bother me personally because I am
wealthy enough to pay for all of those things. But
I'm just thinking about wait a minute. I'm the supposed
(06:07):
to predict that the low income and the middle income
people and protect them from all of this, but they don't,
So now they want more power to create more chaos
and more negativity in Curty forty. So I just said, no,
let's stop it right here, and let's have people vote,
know on Proposition fifty.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Yeah, And the practical consequence of this is about forty
percent of Californian's vote for Republican congressional candidates, and they're
going to end up with only four Republicans out of
fifty two seats, about seven percent of the delegation. And
that on its face just seems terribly unfair, and that
it's unfair.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Number one, it's not true representation in Curdy forty. The
people are not getting represented to the right way, and
those politicians forget that. When you read the Constitution or
anything else, it says the first three worda we the people.
It doesn't say we the politicians. So, you know, I
(07:08):
always feel like they just want to keep taking away
power from the people. This is very, very dangerous. Even
Maintain said, you know, off the people, by the people,
for the people. He did not say off the politicians,
by the politicians, and for the politicians. No, it says
in the matter where you look at, it's all about people,
(07:29):
and so the people have power to go out and
to vote, and to go and vote no, and to
just let them and basically send the message to them
and just say, look, we're not happy what's going on
in California. I mean, okay, so I understand that he
wants to fight Trump, and I myself, I'm not a
big fan of Trump. Right. I voted for, you know,
(07:51):
another candidate, for Kamala Harris, and not for Trump. So
I don't like what Trump is doing. There's a lot
of things I don't like what Trump is doing. But
the bottom line is the homelessness in California, one hundred
and eighty seven thousand homeless that keep increasing and increasing
has nothing to do with Trump. That we have the
(08:13):
highest rent payment in any way in the nation has
nothing to do with Trump. I mean, there's a lot
of those kind of things that is going on. The
housing prices, the electricity becausident, the gas president has nothing
to do with anything the federal government is doing. This
is something to do with you mismanagement of the state.
And now those very very same guys that are mismanaging
(08:36):
the state want more power to mismanage more. So it's like, hello,
let's stop it and both know. On proposition fifty, we're going.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
To continue with Governor Schwarzenegger.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
In just a moment, you're listening to John Cobelt on
demand from KFI Am six forty.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Let's continue with our interview with former Governor Arnold Schwarzeninger
with the record Newsome has left behind, and you articulated
it very well. He wants to run for president. He's
got to distract everybody from his record. So he's whipping
up fury against Trump, who's not even going to be
running on the ballot when Newsome finally goes for president.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
No, no, absolutely, But I mean the important thing is,
let's forget the problems that we have in this state.
With the prices and with the costs. People cannot live
here anymore. People cannot afford to live in Los Angeles.
And so I'm just being environmentally kind of, you know,
(09:35):
always aware. I say to them my asself, if you
work in Santa Monica, you cannot live in Santa Monica.
If you live somewhere far away, an our way so
now you have to drive with the car an hour
every day to work and from work home. What do
you think how much pollution that creates. So we are
trying to reduce pollution in California, we're trying to reduce
(09:58):
pollution worldwide, because pollution kills in a seven million people
a year. So let's all work together on there. But
this is like bed planning and the permitting process, John,
it is so pitiful. That is the lowest permitting process
in the last ten years is this year. So we
(10:19):
need to get more permits out there so that people
can build more homes and can build more apartment buildings
so that we can get rid of this homeless issue
that we have. But no, they're not giving out the permits,
so they're slowing it down even more. So the whole
thing is mismanaged. This has nothing to do with the
federal government. This has to do with just mismanagement on
(10:42):
a local and on a statewide level.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
And this is the People's Commission, this redistricting commission, this
is ours. And it's painful to watch people willing to
give away important power that we have right now and
give it away because Newsom's whipping up all fury about Trump, who,
as you rightly point out, doesn't have much to do
with most of the problems we have in the state.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Absolutely, and remember they will find excuses. The Democrats and
the Republicans, actually both parties were always against redistricting reform
and always against an independent commission. I had it many
times at the ballot, and you know, and they've spent
millions and millions of dollars against it. I remember that
(11:29):
names of Polosis spent millions of dollars against this initiative.
Then it came back in twenty ten. In two thousand
and eight, people voted for it. In twenty ten, the
politicians came back and wanted to get rid of it
again and went back to the people, and the people again,
I mean overwhelmingly voted against them and for the independent Commission.
(11:52):
And so I hope that the people are smart enough
this time again and protect the independent Commission and vote
no position fifty.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Are you baffled by the voting patterns of the last
few years? Considering the state the state the California is in,
and the same politicians keep getting rewarded, and Newsom has
super majorities in the Assembly and in the state Senate,
and there just doesn't seem to be much opposition in
any way, and the public just keeps voting the way
(12:22):
it always voted. Records happened in La what's happened in
Santa Monica. I mean, it's it's insanity, But that doesn't
seem to be another choice.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Well, John, you hit the nail on the head, because
the bottom line is that is why they want more power.
The more power they have and the more they can
be involved in the jerrymandering, the more they can draw
the districts in such a way that they always win.
And when they always win and there's no competition between
(12:52):
the Democrats and the Republicans, then there's a lack of
performance because the only thing that brings performance is come addition,
they don't like competition because they don't really want to
solve those very important problems. I mean, look at this
with homeless issue. I mean, we're for the last two
decades we've been talking about these homeless issues. There's the
(13:15):
poor people are living on the street. I mean, imagine
that the veterans that they've been living out there in
front of the variant administration in brentword, I mean and
in Westwood. I mean out in front of the administration,
they're on a street. I mean, those are the kind
of things that they need to take care of, but
they don't. They always just promise, and then they spend
(13:35):
billions of our tax payers dollars. And then the auditor
comes in and says, wait a minute, there's twenty four
billion dollars missing.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Yeah, isn't that crazy.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
You can explain that there's twenty four billion.
Speaker 4 (13:48):
Dollars is as the kind of stuff that goes on
and the people can do nothing about it, and the
homeless can do nothing about it, and the people there,
the low income people and media.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Income people can do nothing about it. This is what
they want. They want to have the ultimate power. So
I'm just concerned that you're going down the wrong slope.
And always, I mean, you look a little bit at
you know, Roman history, you realize when you get into
that how Rome lost the Republic of Rome and became
(14:21):
a dictatorship was by parties kind of paying each other back.
Or he did it first, so we have to do
the same. Then they kill the candidate, then the other
one creates the private army. Then the other one uses
an army and goes and storms to Rome, and this
is how it went. And then all of a sudden
he was gone. It was a dictatorship. And so I'm
just concerned that you're giving away too much of our
(14:43):
democratic power and our democratic principles by you know, this
proposition fifty and all this stuff that I'm worth. This
is a slippery slope. So this is why it's very
important that we stay strong and that the people would
know I'm proposition fifty.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Obviously, you have a lot to say on this, and
it's really important. I'm going on a trip. I'll be gone.
You want to host the show while I'm gone for
an hour? Maybe?
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Absolutely. I've never done this before, and I always like
to do things that I've never done before. So I
can be your guest host and you a printice and
you know, I gave you the coffee and everything, and
then you can go then after it on your little
trip with your family, and that would take care of
(15:30):
everything else.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
All right, we'd love to have you guest host, and
we will set that up very soon. Arnold, be great,
good to talk with you again. Thank you for coming on,
and have.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
A good day. Okay, all right, we'll do okay, and
remember to keep talking about it. No one proposition fifty No.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
One proposition fifty All right, Arnold Schwarzeger, the former governor
back in the political game at least to fight this
proposition prop fifty no, and we'll continue coming up.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
You're listening to Kobel's on demand from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
After four o'clock John Cobelt Show on demand on the
iHeart app so much to cover. We just had Arnold
Schwarzegger on for the last half hour and I want
to talk about him and many other things as well,
but seemed to be on a tight time schedule today
with everybody including we have Jordana Miller, ABC News correspondent
reporting out of Jerusalem, because this was a landmark day
(16:26):
and earth shaking day. It looks as if Donald Trump
has reached the Holy grail. He actually helped broker a
peace deal between Israel and Hamas. And the latest headline
I'm looking at is the head of Hamas says, yes,
we do have a deal. This is just phase one.
There's a lot to go. Always things can unravel. Jordana
(16:47):
Miller in Jerusalem, tell us what's going on.
Speaker 5 (16:52):
It has been a really extraordinary day. You know, the
war in Gaza has come to an end for now
and God willing forever. And that is largely due to
President Trump, his ability to bring Hamas and Natanielle and
(17:13):
the Egypt and Cutter and Turkey back to the table
and in such a stunning speed, really overnight besides signing
that deal, and there's been celebrations breaking, you know, all
since two in the morning until now, right almost twenty
(17:35):
four hours later here in Israel, there are still people
dancing in the hostage square, right, because now we know
that the twenty Israeli hostages that were presumed to be
alive are in fact alive, and Hamas is going to
turn them over Sunday or Monday. Israel is going to
(17:56):
make good and you know, release almost two thousand Palestinian prisoners,
over two hundred who have serious blood on their hands, right,
carried out deadly attacks against Israelis, and the Israeli army
is going to make its first withdrawl. Right, It's going
to withdraw from Gaza City, from parts of hon Units
(18:19):
in the south, parts of northern Gaza, and move east.
It's not going to fully withdraw yet from Gaza, but
it's going to make its first big move, going from
somewhere around controlling about eighty percent of Gaza to controlling
just about fifty, which again is still a decent sizeable
(18:41):
presence in Gaza. And right now we're waiting for the
Israeli government Nataniel's ruling coalition to officially ratify the deal.
We expect that to happen in the next hour or so,
and that will begin this whole process. It will begin
(19:02):
the ceasefire. The Israeli Army will have twenty four hours
to move to its new positions, and we'll see the
exchange in the next few days of living hostages and
Palestinian prisoners. What will take a little bit longer by
the return of the remains, unfortunately, of the twenty eight
hostages who were killed in captivity or are killed on
(19:24):
October seventh, and they that will take longer because Hama
simply hasn't found hasn't found all of the bodies.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
They're celebrating on the streets in Israel, and I see
reports that they're also celebrating in Gaza. The people there
are relieved and very happy that this is ending.
Speaker 5 (19:46):
Of course they are, I mean, Gaza has been an
utter hell to live in. Over the last two years,
there's been constant Israeli airstrikes. There's vast destruction. Most of
Gauzen's two million people have been displaced, and not once
or twice, but from six and seven and eight and
(20:08):
nine times, right, because the Israeli ordered the Israeli Army
has ordered evacuations over and over again for different and
the same areas in Gaza. So you move back and
then you're told to leave again. Right, That's what we
saw play out over the last several weeks. You know,
almost a million people from Gaza City moved south in
(20:29):
the last several weeks, and there's you know, over nearly
seventy thousand people were killed. A chunk of those are combatants,
but at least half of them are women and children,
and so there's been a lot of death and we
know that, you know, the humanitarian aid. There's been a
(20:50):
food crisis and starvation and hunger persistently across the Gaza
Strip in the last several months, and pockets of famine
as the un set in Gaza City. So you know,
there's celebrations here in Israel, and there certainly are celebrations
in the streets of Gaza as well.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
And you said Israel is going to pull back and
will be controlling just fifty percent of Gaza. I know
there's a lot of details still to be negotiated. What
is the long term goal a complete pull out or
will they retain some kind of presence in Gaza? Right?
Speaker 5 (21:29):
So, I think the Israelis will ultimately stay for some
time in a buffer zone, a security buffer zone that
they carved out all along the perimeter of the Gaza strip.
I think they will be there for some years to
come while Gaza, you know, while there's rebuilding, while a
(21:51):
government there takes route, and you know, as Hamas disarms
and an international security force comes in, and the long
term plan for Gaza will will God willing offer a
better future for Gaza's one that you know is not
at all controlled by Hamas. Right, they won't have any
(22:14):
role in government, they won't have any role on the
street right as a as a as an armed militia.
But that will take time and and until that, you know,
more stable and peaceful reality takes shape, I think the
Israelis will be for some time along this security buffer. Now,
(22:35):
how how how deep is that buffer? I think that
will be debated, right, it could be you know, it
could be something like a half a mile, a third
of a mile, but that'll be worked out.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
Well.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
If you're Dana, You've done a terrific job providing reports
to us for the last two years, and I know
you'll continue to do so as we go down this process,
because it's still not going to be easy. So thank
you very much for spending time in coming on with us,
because I know you're very busy and you're pretty tight
on time now, so we'll talk to you again soon.
Jordana Miller, thanks, ABC News correspondent based in Jerusalem. And
(23:17):
Trump actually pulled it off. He ended the war between
Israel and Hamas, and Israel is starting to pull out
of Gaza. Everybody's dancing in the streets in both countries,
and you know, with the backdrop of here in California,
Newsome taking away the People's Redistricting Commission because he's angry
(23:44):
with Trump and he needs some issues to make himself
more popular with the Democratic Party and make him a
more viable candidate. But can you imagine Gavin Newsoen pulling
this off? Can you imagine Gavin Newsom ending the Israeli
hamas War. No, it's impossible. And that's that's the difference
(24:10):
here between having a strong, decisive leader and a guy
who is just a is just like a school kid.
He's an ankle biter. And what what he has done
to this state and even more so recently now to
(24:31):
try to build his progressive profile is chess criminal. I
want to talk more about that coming up and harken
back to the to the Schwarzenegger segments that we had,
because here we go. Is Newsome going to come out
with a snarky comment on X after Trump settled this war?
(24:52):
Has he got anything? What did he do with his
day today? Huh? All I know is I still paid
five dollars for a gallon of gas? What did he do?
And all I know is there's too many people in
the state who are willing to give up their right
to have the congressional districts drawn independently and they're going
to give it away to Gavin Newsom and his buddies.
And that is so stupid and so wrong. And you'll
(25:15):
see coming up, all right, but uh, you know, if
you if you see anybody not giving Trump credit for
what happened, then they're just not a serious person, then
they're just they're just some partisan whack job hack. We'll
talk more about the Schwarzenegger conversation coming up. Is he
(25:36):
going to take my job? John? Oh? Well, yes, that
was that was hidden in the first half. Found all right,
we should we should talk more about this. But uh,
I'm going on vacation soon. Well, I'm taking the listeners
to Iceland. Uh, from that trip that we sponsored earlier
this year. We're finally going what's that collect? Yeah, uh,
(25:56):
collect as uh, the agency that that's handled this. We're
all going to Iceland. And while I'm there, well not
all well, well, somebody has to stay and keep Arnold company.
Arnold's going to guest host for an hour, probably to
talk about Prop fifty, so you'll have that to look
forward to. I don't know what day he's doing, but
we get big time guest hosts. Oh yeah, all right,
(26:17):
we do.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI Am sixty.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
We're on every day from one until four o'clock. After
four o'clock, John Cobelt's show on demand on the iHeart app,
and you can hear what you missed. It's the same
as the radio show, and what you've missed if you're
just joining us, is first half hour. We had former
governor or Arnold Schwarzeninger on the show, and I want
to tell you what we talked about an overview and
(26:44):
then you can listen to it later on the podcast
in case you missed it. But Kevin Newsom has been
running California now for seven years, which is the same
amount of time that Schwartzeninger ray California. And if I
remember correctly, around the end of Schwarzenegger's last year, the
(27:05):
budget was about one hundred billion dollars, give or take.
Now it's over three hundred billion dollars. Jerry Brown and
Gavin Newsom, and especially Newsom has tripled the budget and
he's done so much damage to the state. Now he
(27:25):
wants to run for president and in order to polish
up his resume for the far left wing progressive voters
who lust for this sort of thing, he is taking
away or he's financing a campaign to take away our
independent redistricting commission, which on the face of it makes
(27:48):
no sense. Why would you give up an independent redistricting
commission and turn the power to draw congressional districts in
this state over to Gavin Newsom's buddies, all his progressive buddies,
would now be in charge of drawing the lines, and
(28:10):
the lines that they have proposed for this proposition leaves
only four Republican seats out of fifty two, seven percent
of the seats, seven percent now Republicans. Forty percent of
the state votes for Republicans in Congress, and so that
(28:35):
forty percent is going to get seven percent representation. Now,
on its face, that is wildly unfair and wrong. I
don't care what your political belief system is. We're all
supposed to get a say in this, So spare me
the sanctimonious garbage about protecting democracy. And I wis Schwartzeker.
(28:56):
I don't believe it's temporary. It's like the temporary homeless
tax here in LA that suddenly got extended and doubled.
And if you hear the interview, he goes through a
list of what's going on right this minute. We don't
have to go through a retrospective of seven years. Let's
go right this minute. We have the highest housing costs,
(29:20):
the highest rentals, the highest number of homeless. We've got
twenty four billion dollars in homeless money missing, which he
couldn't believe because he was governor. I'm sure he's thinking,
how news do that? How new some lose twenty four
billion and nobody can find it.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
How do you do that.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
Unless it's a massive criminal operation, that's impossible. It's like
the seventeen billion stolen from high speed rout how do
you do that? Or the thirty plus billion stolen from
the unb find how do you do that? Then we
got two billion the best stole here for homeless money?
(30:06):
Where is it? Nobody's even looking. He also talked about
how we have the highest gas prices in the state,
the highest electricity prices in the state, and who's this
fall on. This falls on to all the poor and
middle class people, all the working classes.
Speaker 6 (30:22):
That's the last thing I asked him, is said, why
why are people voting like this? This is crazy, This
is suicidal to their own lives. Some of it recently
is this insane fury about Trump.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
And it's gotten to the point now where you've got
a little over half the state willing to give away
the independent Redistricting Commission, give away the people's right to
have independent analysts draw the lines so that Newsom's buddies
can draw the lines because you're bad at Trump. That's nuts.
(30:56):
Trump's gone in three years and you're gonna be stuck
with these progressive whack jobs drawing the lines. It's not
gonna be temporary. Don't be a fool and believe that
this fury they've jim ginned up is stupid. Trump is
(31:17):
not responsible for the housing costs, the rental costs. He's
not responsible for the homelessness. He's not responsible for the
tens of billions of dollars in missing money. He's not
responsible for the highest taxes. He's not responsible for the
highest gas prices, or the highest electricity prices, or any
one of an or or a crime in Los Angeles.
(31:39):
Why new Some and the Democratic legislature are responsible for this,
and now you're giving them more power to draw the
congressional lines. Are you freaking crazy? He's whipping up this
fury about Trump. He'll never have to run against Trump.
Trump's done turned out eighty two years old by then,
(32:05):
he's doing this. So Ewan's primaries on the other side
of the country. What's wrong with you? What is wrong
with everybody? This is stupid stupid to give new some
mispower and he's only using it for himself. You actually
thinks he cares about you? Who is the person who
(32:27):
thinks Gavin Newsom cares what happens in your life. He
gave you the high gas prices, he gave you the
highest electricity bills, he gave you the highest taxes, the
highest cost of housing, the billions of dollars missing. What
makes you think he cares about you? Exactly? Show me
(32:49):
the day, show me the issue, Show me the moment
where he cared about you. I am just astonished. What's
going on with people? Absolutely astonish. Anyway, listen to the
interview with Arnold Schwarzeninger from the beginning of this hour
when the podcast is released after four o'clock, when we
(33:11):
come back, we're going to talk to Jamie Page from
the West Side Current because the same people left in
Santa Monica are really pissed because they are going to
be opening up a pretty good sized mental patient clinic
on Ocean Avenue, which overlooks the ocean across the street
(33:32):
from a beautiful park, and now people with serious mental
illness they are going to be wandering around the neighborhood
we'll talk to Jamie Page to describe what this is,
why this happened. Deborah Mark is live in the KFI
twenty four hour newsroom. Hey, you've been listening to The
John Cobalt Show podcast. You can always hear the show
(33:52):
live on KFI AM six forty from one to four
pm every Monday through Friday, and of course, anytime on
demand on the iHeartRadio awhile
Can't.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
I am six forty. You're listening to the John Cobelt
podcast on the iHeartRadio app. It's John Cobelt Show. Welcome Again.
We're on every day from one until four o'clock, and
then every day after four o'clock it becomes a podcast,
John Cobelt's Show on demand, same as the radio show.
You catch up on whatever you missed. And we're opening
here with former Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. He is back in
(00:24):
the political mix because Schwarzeneger way back in twenty ten,
was one of the forces behind a proposition that created
an independent redistricting commission in California. Census comes out every
ten years. They redraw the congressional district lines based on
(00:45):
the new population mix, and Schwarzenegger's plan was it should
be independent, no political influence from people in Sacramento or
anywhere else. And we've worked with that now for fifteen
years and Gavin Newsome on Stone do it. That's what
Prop fifty is about. He wants to take away the
independent commission and return the power basically to his political buddies.
(01:09):
And we've talked much about this. Schwartzeger is backstarring in
commercials for no on Prop fifty and let's get the
governor on right now. You gon to Schwartzager, welcome today.
I'm fine, How are you terrific?
Speaker 1 (01:24):
I just got back from Europe. I was over there,
you know, a wonderful trip, getting an award in Spain
and Malaga from my work in the movies. And then
I went from there to the Munich at the Oktoberfest
with my son, who celebrated his birth with his buddies
(01:44):
over there in Munich. And then I went to Rome
for an environmental conference with the Pope, and so it
was a really interesting trip, the whole thing. Now I'm
back again here, and of course, as you said, I
never thought that I have to talk about, you know,
politics and all of this stuff again because I don't
really get involved in in all this policy stuff here
(02:07):
in California, even though there's a lot of things I
don't like, but I don't get really involved. But in
this one I have to get involved because it's just
so crazy of what they're trying to do. Just because
Texas is now we didn't readdistrict thing. Now they say
we have to do the same thing. We have to
fight fire with fire. And all of this stuff. And
(02:31):
you know, I said to myself, well, this is insane.
Two wrongs don't make it right. And you know, and
to do undo this independent commission and to take away
the power from the people again and to give it
back to the politicians. I think it's just such a
wrong thing to do, and it's really bad, I think
(02:51):
for California. And so I just wanted to basically get
involved in to tell the people as that, you know,
to let them know that I'm against the idea of
you know, kind of like putting this in hiatus, this
independent you know, redistrict incommission, because there's all lies. Basically,
(03:11):
the politicians are going out there and saying this is
just temporary. Have you ever seen a government program that's temporary.
I mean, the longest lasting programs are the ones that
are temporary government programs. I mean, whenever they say that
it's temporary with taxes, oh man, they're going to continue,
you know, hitting you with the taxes, and they will
(03:33):
extend and extend and extend. And the same thing they're
going to do with the redistrict in Commission because they
say this is only going to be for six years.
So I don't even know why they want to do
it for six years. But the bottom line is, after
six years, they're going to say, oh, in Texas, there's
still cherry mandering, so we have to do the same thing.
So it's all a bunch of nonsense. It's lies, and
(03:54):
it's to deceive the people and all of this eff
So I just want to let the people know nothing
pulting at stake here. I just want to make sure
that we're protecting our democracy and that we are not
going to have those politicians rewrite the Constitution of California
in order to give them more power. That's the bottom line.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Back in twenty ten, this thing passed sixty one to
thirty nine. It was had overwhelming support and.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Had overwhelming support, and the reason why the people who
supported it was because they wanted to take that power
away from the people, the power of drawing the district lines,
the power of cherrymandering and fixing the elections. So they
that we finally got rid of that after all of
this years and decades, and we've created you maybe one
(04:43):
of the first states to create this independent commission, and
it worked really fantastic. But now you know, NUSOM is
trying to run for president. I guess that's why he's
trying to kind of say, oh, we have to go
and attack Trump, and we have to go into fight
Trump and all of this stuff. So I understand he's
(05:03):
agenda and what he wants to accomplish here. But this
is all good for him, and this is all good
for the power additions, but it's not good for the people.
It's terrible for the people because the way what happens
is is when you give them more power, what if
they're done with the power so far? I mean, think
(05:24):
about that. I mean, we have the highest costs of
living here in California. We have the highest rents in California.
We have the highest prices of homes in California. They
went they crippled in two thousand and ten. I just
read the headline that in San Francisco the rent is
(05:45):
going up but twelve percent in the last year alone.
We have the highest gassoleline prices in the nation. We
have the highest elegricity prices in the nation. So all
of this stuff doesn't bother me personally because I am
wealthy enough to pay for all of those things. But
I'm just thinking about wait a minute. I'm the supposed
(06:07):
to predict that the low income and the middle income
people and protect them from all of this, but they don't,
So now they want more power to create more chaos
and more negativity in Curty forty. So I just said, no,
let's stop it right here, and let's have people vote,
know on Proposition fifty.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Yeah, And the practical consequence of this is about forty
percent of Californian's vote for Republican congressional candidates, and they're
going to end up with only four Republicans out of
fifty two seats, about seven percent of the delegation. And
that on its face just seems terribly unfair, and that
it's unfair.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Number one, it's not true representation in Curdy forty. The
people are not getting represented to the right way, and
those politicians forget that. When you read the Constitution or
anything else, it says the first three worda we the people.
It doesn't say we the politicians. So, you know, I
(07:08):
always feel like they just want to keep taking away
power from the people. This is very, very dangerous. Even
Maintain said, you know, off the people, by the people,
for the people. He did not say off the politicians,
by the politicians, and for the politicians. No, it says
in the matter where you look at, it's all about people,
(07:29):
and so the people have power to go out and
to vote, and to go and vote no, and to
just let them and basically send the message to them
and just say, look, we're not happy what's going on
in California. I mean, okay, so I understand that he
wants to fight Trump, and I myself, I'm not a
big fan of Trump. Right. I voted for, you know,
(07:51):
another candidate, for Kamala Harris, and not for Trump. So
I don't like what Trump is doing. There's a lot
of things I don't like what Trump is doing. But
the bottom line is the homelessness in California, one hundred
and eighty seven thousand homeless that keep increasing and increasing
has nothing to do with Trump. That we have the
(08:13):
highest rent payment in any way in the nation has
nothing to do with Trump. I mean, there's a lot
of those kind of things that is going on. The
housing prices, the electricity becausident, the gas president has nothing
to do with anything the federal government is doing. This
is something to do with you mismanagement of the state.
And now those very very same guys that are mismanaging
(08:36):
the state want more power to mismanage more. So it's like, hello,
let's stop it and both know. On proposition fifty, we're going.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
To continue with Governor Schwarzenegger.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
In just a moment, you're listening to John Cobelt on
demand from KFI Am six forty.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Let's continue with our interview with former Governor Arnold Schwarzeninger
with the record Newsome has left behind, and you articulated
it very well. He wants to run for president. He's
got to distract everybody from his record. So he's whipping
up fury against Trump, who's not even going to be
running on the ballot when Newsome finally goes for president.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
No, no, absolutely, But I mean the important thing is,
let's forget the problems that we have in this state.
With the prices and with the costs. People cannot live
here anymore. People cannot afford to live in Los Angeles.
And so I'm just being environmentally kind of, you know,
(09:35):
always aware. I say to them my asself, if you
work in Santa Monica, you cannot live in Santa Monica.
If you live somewhere far away, an our way so
now you have to drive with the car an hour
every day to work and from work home. What do
you think how much pollution that creates. So we are
trying to reduce pollution in California, we're trying to reduce
(09:58):
pollution worldwide, because pollution kills in a seven million people
a year. So let's all work together on there. But
this is like bed planning and the permitting process, John,
it is so pitiful. That is the lowest permitting process
in the last ten years is this year. So we
(10:19):
need to get more permits out there so that people
can build more homes and can build more apartment buildings
so that we can get rid of this homeless issue
that we have. But no, they're not giving out the permits,
so they're slowing it down even more. So the whole
thing is mismanaged. This has nothing to do with the
federal government. This has to do with just mismanagement on
(10:42):
a local and on a statewide level.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
And this is the People's Commission, this redistricting commission, this
is ours. And it's painful to watch people willing to
give away important power that we have right now and
give it away because Newsom's whipping up all fury about Trump, who,
as you rightly point out, doesn't have much to do
with most of the problems we have in the state.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Absolutely, and remember they will find excuses. The Democrats and
the Republicans, actually both parties were always against redistricting reform
and always against an independent commission. I had it many
times at the ballot, and you know, and they've spent
millions and millions of dollars against it. I remember that
(11:29):
names of Polosis spent millions of dollars against this initiative.
Then it came back in twenty ten. In two thousand
and eight, people voted for it. In twenty ten, the
politicians came back and wanted to get rid of it
again and went back to the people, and the people again,
I mean overwhelmingly voted against them and for the independent Commission.
(11:52):
And so I hope that the people are smart enough
this time again and protect the independent Commission and vote
no position fifty.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Are you baffled by the voting patterns of the last
few years? Considering the state the state the California is in,
and the same politicians keep getting rewarded, and Newsom has
super majorities in the Assembly and in the state Senate,
and there just doesn't seem to be much opposition in
any way, and the public just keeps voting the way
(12:22):
it always voted. Records happened in La what's happened in
Santa Monica. I mean, it's it's insanity, But that doesn't
seem to be another choice.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Well, John, you hit the nail on the head, because
the bottom line is that is why they want more power.
The more power they have and the more they can
be involved in the jerrymandering, the more they can draw
the districts in such a way that they always win.
And when they always win and there's no competition between
(12:52):
the Democrats and the Republicans, then there's a lack of
performance because the only thing that brings performance is come addition,
they don't like competition because they don't really want to
solve those very important problems. I mean, look at this
with homeless issue. I mean, we're for the last two
decades we've been talking about these homeless issues. There's the
(13:15):
poor people are living on the street. I mean, imagine
that the veterans that they've been living out there in
front of the variant administration in brentword, I mean and
in Westwood. I mean out in front of the administration,
they're on a street. I mean, those are the kind
of things that they need to take care of, but
they don't. They always just promise, and then they spend
(13:35):
billions of our tax payers dollars. And then the auditor
comes in and says, wait a minute, there's twenty four
billion dollars missing.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Yeah, isn't that crazy.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
You can explain that there's twenty four billion.
Speaker 4 (13:48):
Dollars is as the kind of stuff that goes on
and the people can do nothing about it, and the
homeless can do nothing about it, and the people there,
the low income people and media.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Income people can do nothing about it. This is what
they want. They want to have the ultimate power. So
I'm just concerned that you're going down the wrong slope.
And always, I mean, you look a little bit at
you know, Roman history, you realize when you get into
that how Rome lost the Republic of Rome and became
(14:21):
a dictatorship was by parties kind of paying each other back.
Or he did it first, so we have to do
the same. Then they kill the candidate, then the other
one creates the private army. Then the other one uses
an army and goes and storms to Rome, and this
is how it went. And then all of a sudden
he was gone. It was a dictatorship. And so I'm
just concerned that you're giving away too much of our
(14:43):
democratic power and our democratic principles by you know, this
proposition fifty and all this stuff that I'm worth. This
is a slippery slope. So this is why it's very
important that we stay strong and that the people would
know I'm proposition fifty.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Obviously, you have a lot to say on this, and
it's really important. I'm going on a trip. I'll be gone.
You want to host the show while I'm gone for
an hour? Maybe?
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Absolutely. I've never done this before, and I always like
to do things that I've never done before. So I
can be your guest host and you a printice and
you know, I gave you the coffee and everything, and
then you can go then after it on your little
trip with your family, and that would take care of
(15:30):
everything else.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
All right, we'd love to have you guest host, and
we will set that up very soon. Arnold, be great,
good to talk with you again. Thank you for coming on,
and have.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
A good day. Okay, all right, we'll do okay, and
remember to keep talking about it. No one proposition fifty No.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
One proposition fifty All right, Arnold Schwarzeger, the former governor
back in the political game at least to fight this
proposition prop fifty no, and we'll continue coming up.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
You're listening to Kobel's on demand from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
After four o'clock John Cobelt Show on demand on the
iHeart app so much to cover. We just had Arnold
Schwarzegger on for the last half hour and I want
to talk about him and many other things as well,
but seemed to be on a tight time schedule today
with everybody including we have Jordana Miller, ABC News correspondent
reporting out of Jerusalem, because this was a landmark day
(16:26):
and earth shaking day. It looks as if Donald Trump
has reached the Holy grail. He actually helped broker a
peace deal between Israel and Hamas. And the latest headline
I'm looking at is the head of Hamas says, yes,
we do have a deal. This is just phase one.
There's a lot to go. Always things can unravel. Jordana
(16:47):
Miller in Jerusalem, tell us what's going on.
Speaker 5 (16:52):
It has been a really extraordinary day. You know, the
war in Gaza has come to an end for now
and God willing forever. And that is largely due to
President Trump, his ability to bring Hamas and Natanielle and
(17:13):
the Egypt and Cutter and Turkey back to the table
and in such a stunning speed, really overnight besides signing
that deal, and there's been celebrations breaking, you know, all
since two in the morning until now, right almost twenty
(17:35):
four hours later here in Israel, there are still people
dancing in the hostage square, right, because now we know
that the twenty Israeli hostages that were presumed to be
alive are in fact alive, and Hamas is going to
turn them over Sunday or Monday. Israel is going to
(17:56):
make good and you know, release almost two thousand Palestinian prisoners,
over two hundred who have serious blood on their hands, right,
carried out deadly attacks against Israelis, and the Israeli army
is going to make its first withdrawl. Right, It's going
to withdraw from Gaza City, from parts of hon Units
(18:19):
in the south, parts of northern Gaza, and move east.
It's not going to fully withdraw yet from Gaza, but
it's going to make its first big move, going from
somewhere around controlling about eighty percent of Gaza to controlling
just about fifty, which again is still a decent sizeable
(18:41):
presence in Gaza. And right now we're waiting for the
Israeli government Nataniel's ruling coalition to officially ratify the deal.
We expect that to happen in the next hour or so,
and that will begin this whole process. It will begin
(19:02):
the ceasefire. The Israeli Army will have twenty four hours
to move to its new positions, and we'll see the
exchange in the next few days of living hostages and
Palestinian prisoners. What will take a little bit longer by
the return of the remains, unfortunately, of the twenty eight
hostages who were killed in captivity or are killed on
(19:24):
October seventh, and they that will take longer because Hama
simply hasn't found hasn't found all of the bodies.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
They're celebrating on the streets in Israel, and I see
reports that they're also celebrating in Gaza. The people there
are relieved and very happy that this is ending.
Speaker 5 (19:46):
Of course they are, I mean, Gaza has been an
utter hell to live in. Over the last two years,
there's been constant Israeli airstrikes. There's vast destruction. Most of
Gauzen's two million people have been displaced, and not once
or twice, but from six and seven and eight and
(20:08):
nine times, right, because the Israeli ordered the Israeli Army
has ordered evacuations over and over again for different and
the same areas in Gaza. So you move back and
then you're told to leave again. Right, That's what we
saw play out over the last several weeks. You know,
almost a million people from Gaza City moved south in
(20:29):
the last several weeks, and there's you know, over nearly
seventy thousand people were killed. A chunk of those are combatants,
but at least half of them are women and children,
and so there's been a lot of death and we
know that, you know, the humanitarian aid. There's been a
(20:50):
food crisis and starvation and hunger persistently across the Gaza
Strip in the last several months, and pockets of famine
as the un set in Gaza City. So you know,
there's celebrations here in Israel, and there certainly are celebrations
in the streets of Gaza as well.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
And you said Israel is going to pull back and
will be controlling just fifty percent of Gaza. I know
there's a lot of details still to be negotiated. What
is the long term goal a complete pull out or
will they retain some kind of presence in Gaza? Right?
Speaker 5 (21:29):
So, I think the Israelis will ultimately stay for some
time in a buffer zone, a security buffer zone that
they carved out all along the perimeter of the Gaza strip.
I think they will be there for some years to
come while Gaza, you know, while there's rebuilding, while a
(21:51):
government there takes route, and you know, as Hamas disarms
and an international security force comes in, and the long
term plan for Gaza will will God willing offer a
better future for Gaza's one that you know is not
at all controlled by Hamas. Right, they won't have any
(22:14):
role in government, they won't have any role on the
street right as a as a as an armed militia.
But that will take time and and until that, you know,
more stable and peaceful reality takes shape, I think the
Israelis will be for some time along this security buffer. Now,
(22:35):
how how how deep is that buffer? I think that
will be debated, right, it could be you know, it
could be something like a half a mile, a third
of a mile, but that'll be worked out.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
Well.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
If you're Dana, You've done a terrific job providing reports
to us for the last two years, and I know
you'll continue to do so as we go down this process,
because it's still not going to be easy. So thank
you very much for spending time in coming on with us,
because I know you're very busy and you're pretty tight
on time now, so we'll talk to you again soon.
Jordana Miller, thanks, ABC News correspondent based in Jerusalem. And
(23:17):
Trump actually pulled it off. He ended the war between
Israel and Hamas, and Israel is starting to pull out
of Gaza. Everybody's dancing in the streets in both countries,
and you know, with the backdrop of here in California,
Newsome taking away the People's Redistricting Commission because he's angry
(23:44):
with Trump and he needs some issues to make himself
more popular with the Democratic Party and make him a
more viable candidate. But can you imagine Gavin Newsoen pulling
this off? Can you imagine Gavin Newsom ending the Israeli
hamas War. No, it's impossible. And that's that's the difference
(24:10):
here between having a strong, decisive leader and a guy
who is just a is just like a school kid.
He's an ankle biter. And what what he has done
to this state and even more so recently now to
(24:31):
try to build his progressive profile is chess criminal. I
want to talk more about that coming up and harken
back to the to the Schwarzenegger segments that we had,
because here we go. Is Newsome going to come out
with a snarky comment on X after Trump settled this war?
(24:52):
Has he got anything? What did he do with his
day today? Huh? All I know is I still paid
five dollars for a gallon of gas? What did he do?
And all I know is there's too many people in
the state who are willing to give up their right
to have the congressional districts drawn independently and they're going
to give it away to Gavin Newsom and his buddies.
And that is so stupid and so wrong. And you'll
(25:15):
see coming up, all right, but uh, you know, if
you if you see anybody not giving Trump credit for
what happened, then they're just not a serious person, then
they're just they're just some partisan whack job hack. We'll
talk more about the Schwarzenegger conversation coming up. Is he
(25:36):
going to take my job? John? Oh? Well, yes, that
was that was hidden in the first half. Found all right,
we should we should talk more about this. But uh,
I'm going on vacation soon. Well, I'm taking the listeners
to Iceland. Uh, from that trip that we sponsored earlier
this year. We're finally going what's that collect? Yeah, uh,
(25:56):
collect as uh, the agency that that's handled this. We're
all going to Iceland. And while I'm there, well not
all well, well, somebody has to stay and keep Arnold company.
Arnold's going to guest host for an hour, probably to
talk about Prop fifty, so you'll have that to look
forward to. I don't know what day he's doing, but
we get big time guest hosts. Oh yeah, all right,
(26:17):
we do.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI Am sixty.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
We're on every day from one until four o'clock. After
four o'clock, John Cobelt's show on demand on the iHeart app,
and you can hear what you missed. It's the same
as the radio show, and what you've missed if you're
just joining us, is first half hour. We had former
governor or Arnold Schwarzeninger on the show, and I want
to tell you what we talked about an overview and
(26:44):
then you can listen to it later on the podcast
in case you missed it. But Kevin Newsom has been
running California now for seven years, which is the same
amount of time that Schwartzeninger ray California. And if I
remember correctly, around the end of Schwarzenegger's last year, the
(27:05):
budget was about one hundred billion dollars, give or take.
Now it's over three hundred billion dollars. Jerry Brown and
Gavin Newsom, and especially Newsom has tripled the budget and
he's done so much damage to the state. Now he
(27:25):
wants to run for president and in order to polish
up his resume for the far left wing progressive voters
who lust for this sort of thing, he is taking
away or he's financing a campaign to take away our
independent redistricting commission, which on the face of it makes
(27:48):
no sense. Why would you give up an independent redistricting
commission and turn the power to draw congressional districts in
this state over to Gavin Newsom's buddies, all his progressive buddies,
would now be in charge of drawing the lines, and
(28:10):
the lines that they have proposed for this proposition leaves
only four Republican seats out of fifty two, seven percent
of the seats, seven percent now Republicans. Forty percent of
the state votes for Republicans in Congress, and so that
(28:35):
forty percent is going to get seven percent representation. Now,
on its face, that is wildly unfair and wrong. I
don't care what your political belief system is. We're all
supposed to get a say in this, So spare me
the sanctimonious garbage about protecting democracy. And I wis Schwartzeker.
(28:56):
I don't believe it's temporary. It's like the temporary homeless
tax here in LA that suddenly got extended and doubled.
And if you hear the interview, he goes through a
list of what's going on right this minute. We don't
have to go through a retrospective of seven years. Let's
go right this minute. We have the highest housing costs,
(29:20):
the highest rentals, the highest number of homeless. We've got
twenty four billion dollars in homeless money missing, which he
couldn't believe because he was governor. I'm sure he's thinking,
how news do that? How new some lose twenty four
billion and nobody can find it.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
How do you do that.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
Unless it's a massive criminal operation, that's impossible. It's like
the seventeen billion stolen from high speed rout how do
you do that? Or the thirty plus billion stolen from
the unb find how do you do that? Then we
got two billion the best stole here for homeless money?
(30:06):
Where is it? Nobody's even looking. He also talked about
how we have the highest gas prices in the state,
the highest electricity prices in the state, and who's this
fall on. This falls on to all the poor and
middle class people, all the working classes.
Speaker 6 (30:22):
That's the last thing I asked him, is said, why
why are people voting like this? This is crazy, This
is suicidal to their own lives. Some of it recently
is this insane fury about Trump.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
And it's gotten to the point now where you've got
a little over half the state willing to give away
the independent Redistricting Commission, give away the people's right to
have independent analysts draw the lines so that Newsom's buddies
can draw the lines because you're bad at Trump. That's nuts.
(30:56):
Trump's gone in three years and you're gonna be stuck
with these progressive whack jobs drawing the lines. It's not
gonna be temporary. Don't be a fool and believe that
this fury they've jim ginned up is stupid. Trump is
(31:17):
not responsible for the housing costs, the rental costs. He's
not responsible for the homelessness. He's not responsible for the
tens of billions of dollars in missing money. He's not
responsible for the highest taxes. He's not responsible for the
highest gas prices, or the highest electricity prices, or any
one of an or or a crime in Los Angeles.
(31:39):
Why new Some and the Democratic legislature are responsible for this,
and now you're giving them more power to draw the
congressional lines. Are you freaking crazy? He's whipping up this
fury about Trump. He'll never have to run against Trump.
Trump's done turned out eighty two years old by then,
(32:05):
he's doing this. So Ewan's primaries on the other side
of the country. What's wrong with you? What is wrong
with everybody? This is stupid stupid to give new some
mispower and he's only using it for himself. You actually
thinks he cares about you? Who is the person who
(32:27):
thinks Gavin Newsom cares what happens in your life. He
gave you the high gas prices, he gave you the
highest electricity bills, he gave you the highest taxes, the
highest cost of housing, the billions of dollars missing. What
makes you think he cares about you? Exactly? Show me
(32:49):
the day, show me the issue, Show me the moment
where he cared about you. I am just astonished. What's
going on with people? Absolutely astonish. Anyway, listen to the
interview with Arnold Schwarzeninger from the beginning of this hour
when the podcast is released after four o'clock, when we
(33:11):

the West Side Current because the same people left in
Santa Monica are really pissed because they are going to
be opening up a pretty good sized mental patient clinic
on Ocean Avenue, which overlooks the ocean across the street
(33:32):
from a beautiful park, and now people with serious mental
illness they are going to be wandering around the neighborhood
