Speaker 1 (00:00):
Can't.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
I am six forty. You're listening to the John Cobelt
podcast on the iHeartRadio app. How's everybody doing? Welcome to
the show. We're on from one till four, then after
four o'clock we've become a podcast, John Cobelt Show on
demand also on the iHeart app. We have so much
to do today, it would take me too long even
to go through it. However, the first thing I want
(00:23):
to get to is the Iowa caucuses. It was the
first first voting done for the twenty twenty four election,
which is going to end up being Trump and Biden
again unless one or both of them drop dead. We're
going to talk again with Sherry Preston from Des Moines
ABC News for KFI. Here's Sherry.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
How are you well. I'm still in the moin and
everybody else packed up on Lemper, New Hampshire. But because
of travel was the blizzard days. I had to stay
in extra day, so that means I get to talk
to you.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Yeah, I was in Iowa once. Not a whole lot
to do there.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
I got to tell you, you know, it's really interesting.
I was talking to one of our our ABC em beds, Okay,
and these are. These are young reporters who go out
with the candidates and then they're with them, you know,
a lot of the time. And we were talking today
because I was interviewing them for this piece, and they said,
(01:23):
you know, I got a different view of Iowa than
I ever thought I would. Young person said, I am
I am black. I'm clear. I didn't think that I
would sit in here, and I've been here for seven
months and has has grown to really appreciate how they
do it in here in this state. You know what
I mean, like a really Oh no, they're very friendly
(01:45):
people for interview.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Yeah, now, there's very friendly people now as I think
of it. I was there twice, so I must have
liked it the first time. Yeah, yeah, no, I'm just
kind of teasing. But uh, it was a much smaller
turnout than they expected. And I thought that was going
to be obvious because it was minus thirty with the
windshill and there's been a lot of snow, and when
(02:06):
they were hyping up this possible record turnout, I thought
that that isn't quite right because there really wasn't a
lot of drama on who is going to win this,
So I just didn't see that the that the right
it was the right set of circumstances to create a
record turnout.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
No exactly, And then you could tell when they started,
you know, putting up the weather forecast, that it was
not going to be the number of people. But you know,
and that's another thing that people have an issue with
the Caucuses, and this being first that you know, you
have three million people in this state alone and a
total of about one hundred and ten thousand of them
(02:43):
determine this whole thing. And I was talking to a
Drake University professor about this just just before I got
on the phone with you, and she teaches this Drake
University here in Ti Moine. And you know, she said
that as people turn out for or something like this,
what they're what they're they're they're very proud of how
(03:05):
how it works, you know what I mean. And they
didn't they didn't they didn't ask for it, you know
what I mean. But they really really this process. It's
fascinating to watch this. I was in a I was
at a Baptist church north of Des Moines in a
in a suburb called Ancony. It's actually one of the
fastest growing suburbs the fastest growing metropolitan areas in all
of Iowa. And I just kind of got there and
(03:28):
and was like, okay, I've never really seen this before.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
You know.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
They they had me set up on a little chair
over on the side of the room, and I said, well,
I kind of need a place to put my laptop
and my microphone, and there was no table, and so
I looked, you know, and I said, could I have
that one? And it's got a Holy Bible sitting on
it and they said, yeah, I don't see why not
go ahead, it's Bible. Off moved the table over for me.
(03:56):
So I had fought roast tea to actually watch how
this was done in a very very really They get up,
they talk.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Yeah, very friendly.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
And then they write down the name, and then they
passed around a little tupperware bowl and everybody put the
names in there, and then they took them up to
the front and they all counted them right there with
you there. It was really fascinating.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Yeah, they're very friendly, accommodating people. I know, Los Angeles
could use more islands living here to kind of change
the nature of this place. But you know, having said
all that, like you know, it's one hundred and ten
thousand people at a three million, So you're dealing with
the inner core of political obsessives. And it's kind of funny, how,
you know, Because the media has to fill their space
(04:37):
and fill their time with something, it blows up into
something of monumental proportion. But the Republican Party is its
own entity. It doesn't represent the general public at large.
It doesn't represent independence, Democrats and everybody else. It doesn't
represent a lot of Republicans who didn't bother to show so,
but this is what the hardcore activist types the really devoting.
(05:01):
This is who they want Trump.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
Well, it's exactly And if you look and the people
that showed up yesterday, they yeah, so it was a
loud and clear what exactly they wanted. I mean, it
was a it was a blowout. It was across the board.
I mean Trump won women, he won men, he won
college educated, he won those without a four year degree,
rural city, all of that. And and now going into
(05:27):
New Hampshire with this giant lead that he really wanted
to hit fifty percent, which he did, and the numbers
two and three, I mean, really, you know they're they
they're you know, struggling for for forty percent between them,
So the two of them combined are still ten points
below Donald Trump. So this is you know, they say
that Iowa doesn't really pick the winner, but it narrows
(05:49):
down the field. That's true. But when you have somebody
who's so dominant, you know, that's I think they just
wanted to see how far ahead he would be. And
I think even a lot of people were really PRIs
by just how absolutely well that he did. And it'll
make a big difference because now you've got going forward. Okay,
how long is Ron Defantis going to stay in it?
He's not pulling well at all, and people today he
(06:12):
was down yeah, in in South and South Carolina today.
But you know, and Nikki Haley same thing. Yeah, like
even if she does well, she doesn't win first. If
she doesn't come in first in New Hampshire, it's very
hard for her to make a case, you know. So
the for going forward, I mean, I'm curious just how
long they'll stay in Well.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Been campaigning in these states for months and months. You know,
some of these primary states you might campaign for five days.
Right as you get deeper into the schedule, you just
don't have the time. In between you know, primary day
each Tuesday. But this has been open season probably for
almost a year for some of these candidates. And if
you haven't made an impression in a year, you're not
(06:55):
going to make an impression there or anywhere else, most likely.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Exactly. And that's another thing that makes Iowa unique is
that this is a state that they can come in
that doesn't have a lot of big media cities, you
know what I mean. It's not a Chicago, it's not
La or New York, you know, you know, or even
like Kansas City or something. It's very small and you
go to these events and these candidates would be there
and you know, people would show up nine o'clock on
(07:21):
a Sunday morning at a pizzas Morgage board to hear
the zk Ramaswami and the place is packed, you know,
because they have been to every single county. They go
out in the middle of nowhere, they go out and
you know, at at bars in Waterloo, and you know,
like I said, a pizza joint in the Oswego or Ames.
(07:42):
It's all across the state and it's one place where
for these candidates that face to FaceTime. Really it's almost
like a training ground.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
It's almost like they're they're going to college or something
because they're learning how to do what it is they
need to learn how to do. It's one thing to
campaign in your state if you're Nicki Haley or Florida
or b Londe Santas, but to meet these people face
to face. And that's another thing that's interesting about Iowa.
That's always been so important here in Iowa, that FaceTime.
But Donald Trump had very little face time here. He
(08:13):
didn't do those pizza joint meetings. He didn't do the
let's go to the church and just shake hands and stuff. No,
he flew in. He had, you know, thirty appearances the
whole time, and they were all big events because she
just didn't need to.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
I remember from one of the last times he ran.
He never eats the awful local food, whatever the special
delicacy is at the fairgrounds. He doesn't touch that stuff.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
There's no fried oreos exactly.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
All right, Well, Sherry, thanks for coming on with us.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
Okay, have a great afternoon and good luck. We'll see
what happens in New Hampshire.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Yeah. Cherry Preston kf I, ABC News on yesterday's blowout
wind for Trump. We've got a few more amusing things
about the caucuses yesterday in Iowa coming up. Oh, and
I should mention. At two o'clock we're going to have
Nathan Hockman on. Nathan Hackman is running for La County
(09:08):
District Attorney. He's a former federal prosecutor and assistant US
Attorney General, and he's one of the leading he's considered
one of the leading candidates, and he was holding a
press conference today at the DA's office, Gascon's office to
protest the promotion that Tiffany Blacknell got as his chief
(09:31):
of staff. Black Nell is a radical anti police, anti
prison activist and now chief of staff for Gascon and
Hawkman thinks that's that's the atrocity, and we're going to
talk to Nathan about that right at the top of
the hour at two o'clock. Right, it's the Johnny co
(09:51):
Belt Show.
Speaker 5 (09:53):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Trump wins big, big, fifty one percent of the vote
in Iowa and the Desantan's got twenty one, Hayley nineteen.
They move on to New Hampshire, but it's it's pretty
clear how this is going to end. I've had trouble
following this the last few weeks and months because it's
obvious what's going to happen, and to the extent that
(10:23):
I'm paying attention, it's I'm amused how relentlessly reporters and
anchors on television try to hype this, and how writers
in newspapers try to analyze it to death. There's nothing
to hype and there's nothing to analyze. That part of
the world wants Trump to win, and he's got the
majority of him in agreement, and the ones in the
(10:46):
Republican Party who don't want Trump to win, Odds are
most of them will vote for Trump in the end anyway.
So it's you know, unless he dies or Biden dies,
those are the two guys that are obviously going to
be the candidates. And boys, there are a lot of noise.
Is there a lot of blown gas?
Speaker 3 (11:03):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Just well, I mean they have jobs, right. You gotta
tract audience. You gotta sell the audience to advertisers. You
got to put something on screen, You got to fill
your the pages of your website or newspaper with some
kind of print. But there were there really was no
contest here. What also amuses me is what candidates say
(11:26):
the day before the vote and then the day after
in the morning the thek Ramaswami was bragging, we will
shock the world tonight. I'm going to guarantee to stay
in this race through November of this year, when we
(11:47):
win the election, through January of next year, when I'm
inaugurated as your next president, and through January of twenty
thirty three, when we leave that White House after two
full terms. He said that yesterday morning. Last night. I mean,
we're talking maybe twelve hours later. There's no path for
(12:09):
me to be the next president. These people are really insane,
aren't they. Sometimes I watch these debates and and you know,
everyone is so earnest, I mean, political geeks are so
(12:32):
naive and earnest, and they're such true believers, and I'm
looking at it, it's like these people are are insane.
Most of these candidates they're they're they're narcissists, they're they're
totally delusional. In some cases. For example, I wouldn't even
mention this guy. I mean, he is such a pimple
(12:54):
on an elephant's rear end. But I had a personal
interaction with him on the show, oh many years ago,
and he's always stuck in my craw for being just
a complete buffoon. And it's Republican Asa Hutchinson, and we
affectionately used to refer to him as Assa Hutchinson. He
(13:16):
was the governor of Arkansas, and boy Arkansas votes for
real winners, and Old Assa eventually got a job in
George W. Bush's administration and he had something to do
with immigration, and I believe it was when they were
shipping illegal aliens here to California and a lot of
(13:39):
the locals were upset and we're protesting, and Old Assa
came on our show and we had a rip roaring
time for about a half an hour because he was
completely full of crap. He was just lying through his teeth.
And the thing is he never goes away. He keeps
running for things. And so he ran for president this
(14:01):
year and he can't paign a lot in Iowa. And
I can tell you this. I don't know where you
are right now, but you came in only one hundred
and ninety one votes behind Assa Hutchinson in Iowa. I
say that because that's all the votes he got he
only got one hundred and ninety one and zero delegates.
(14:24):
His polling average was point zero seven percent, and it
looks like he underperformed. In fact, he came in behind
Ryan Binkley. Now this guy, this guy Hutchinson, he was governor.
(14:47):
I mean he's governor, just like Bill Clinton was in Arkansas,
and he had a major position in the Bush administration.
And Ryan Binkley was as a businessman and a pastor.
And this was his statement. My message of being a
principled Republican with experience and telling the truth about the
(15:08):
current front runner did not sell in Iowa. I stand
by the campaign I ran. I answered every question. I
sounded the warning to the GOP about the risks in
twenty twenty four and presented hope for our country's future.
So after sounding all these warnings, he uh, he then
congratulated Trump on his victory. It is it is. It
(15:35):
is mental illness. It is a delusional narcissism. I don't
know what the exact medical term for insanity. That's what
it is, as a complete, complete crazy person. So they're
gonna they're gonna go onto New Hampshire and it's gonna
another and be another week most likely of the same
thing where there's gonna be an artificial hype. Oh you know,
(15:56):
maybe maybe Trump will be defeated, who's gonna come in
second place, and the same thing's gonna happen, and then
the race will be effectively over. If it's not effectively
over now, I guess we got to put up with
this for another week and then it's god the first
of February, and you're gonna have nine months of Biden
(16:19):
and Trump in the news constantly. And I don't know
that's its own form of insanity, but hey, you know,
this is what people want, So this is what we got.
More coming up again, I have to mention they we're
gonna have Nathan hochmannon, who's one of the leading candidates
for La County District Attorney. There's at least ten of them,
(16:42):
and we're going to try to have them all on
between now and the first Tuesday of March. He is
holding a press conference today outside George Gascon's office, demanding
that the public defender who became his chief of staff,
Tiffany black Now, be removed. He Black Now is is
(17:05):
major trouble. She's anti police, she's anti anti prison, she's
anti prosecuting terrible criminals. And this is Gascone's right hand woman.
So we'll talk to Nathan coming up after two o'clock
on the Joke Coba on the John Cobelt Show. I
(17:25):
can't even say my own name anymore. Take two debor
mark as the news.
Speaker 5 (17:31):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI A six.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
One of the things that we returned to frequently is
the electric vehicle scam that's being perpetrated on us by
Gavin Newsom and Joe Biden's governments. This this forced idea
of we have to all buy electric cars. We won't
be allowed to buy a gas powered car in twenty
(17:58):
thirty five, and this entire industry is wildly overhyped, frequently impractical. Tesla,
of course, is supposed to be the gold standard when
it comes to when it comes to electric vehicles, and
it does perform much better, and they do have their
(18:19):
own charging system, but extremely cold weather like they've had
in the Midwest, where temperatures plunge below zero, will seize
up a lot of electric car batteries, no matter who
made them. We've got a report here from NBC Chicago
the reporter is Charlie wood Jahowski. I think, and this
(18:40):
is on what the freezing temperatures have done to the
electric cars there.
Speaker 6 (18:46):
For Rob Ross, the fancy MACKI electric vehicle is trying
out has not been worth the trouble it's cost.
Speaker 4 (18:52):
Got the tow truck to bring me here. This morning,
I was at five people in front of me, sat here.
My vehicle was like almost on empty, no charge. We
got people sitting in the line right now who actually
they charge. The EV is actually disabled because they can't
even make it pull up to the pull up to
the machine.
Speaker 6 (19:10):
And the charging station to this Evergreen Park public charging
port are full, so full that some evs ran out
of juice before they could get to the machines.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
It's terrible.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
It's like I could be about to be driving and
everything in the cold, but instead I gotta wait in
this awaiting game. Is a waiting game, is a waiting game,
and it's terrible.
Speaker 6 (19:29):
Gary and Rober are learning a hard lesson about EV's
in the extreme cold. They just don't go as far
as they usually do.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
Absolutely uh you know. And EV's that I've driven, I
have seen anywhere from a ten percent to a thirty
percent drop, you know, depending on how cold it is
and the colder it gets.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
The worst of that drop is.
Speaker 6 (19:47):
Patrick Olsen tests evs and other cars as the editor
in chief at carfax dot com.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
Even when I test them, you know, week in and
week out, I have to think ahead about how far
am I going to go and how much do I
want to risk it?
Speaker 6 (19:59):
Making matter is worse. Evs take longer to charge the
colder it is outside.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
You have to come up here, wait two hours to
get on the charger. They tell you the charges are fast.
It takes two hours to charge your car.
Speaker 6 (20:13):
So here in this Evergreen Park parking lot, with temperatures
and the single digits, there are dozens of evs sitting
in the cold waiting for a chance to be charged.
Bob Ross is reconsidering the idea of owning one.
Speaker 4 (20:26):
My conclusion is as far as the driving, everything is
real nice, but not Chicago. Not Chicago. I can't do it.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
That's the NBC Chicago Charlie watchhous. I mean, I'm sitting
here giggling the entire time. This thing is a bust.
Much of the country can't use use electric vehicles. I
mean what Marcus said the story. You have to come
up here, wait two hours to get to the charger.
They tell you it's fast, but then it takes two
(20:57):
hours to charge your car, and that's one of the
fast chargers. So if you're going on, if you want
to go out on a drive, and you see that
your your electric charge is low, well, if it's a
gas powered car, you go to a station which is
generally within a mile of your house, and it takes
(21:17):
five six minutes to fill up your tank full. You
could fill up you know, a half tank or a
quarter tank probably in two minutes, but four hours. I
hope you brought a food and water supply. And it's
seventeen degrees outside with a windshow below zero, and you're
(21:39):
gonna spend four hours just because what you wanted to
drive to work, you wanted to go to the shopping mall.
And these poor SAPs who believed all this stupid hype
and was intimidated by the government. Yeah, I guess I'm
just gonna stand here for two hours and then wait
two hours to charge, and then when you're done, it's
(22:02):
still seventeen degrees out, so you're still going to lose
the charge. Very rapidly, and you're going to have to
do it all over again very soon. I mean that
in Norway half the new cars are half of the
new cars purchased or electric, and the Norwegian Automobile Federation
found that evs lose twenty percent of their driving range
(22:25):
in the cold, and that can more than double if
you had your car's heating system on full blast. I
looked up Norway the other day because there was there
was a similar story. And the average temperature in Oslo, Norway,
the average in January is twenty five degrees, which means
(22:47):
even the high temperature is barely out of the low thirties,
so nearly all the day it's a freezing or below,
which means nearly all the day you're going to lose
twenty percent of your driving range, and then another twenty
percent if you have the heat on. And if it's
twenty five degrees, you're gonna have the heat on, so
(23:10):
you've lost forty percent. Then you have to stand in
the line for two hours, and then you have to
take two hours to charge it, even if you're at
the fastation, because the chargers work really slowly in the
cold too. Here's another story, this was also out of
Chicago that Tesla supercharging stations have become what residents are
(23:32):
calling Tesla graveyards. This is Tesla and they were supposedly
the success at this EV owners have spent days crowded
around charging stations hopelessly trying to power up their cars
temperatures as low as minus five, and left with no
(23:53):
option but to hire a flatbed truck to bring their
vehicles home. By the way, this cold step is going
to be going on all week up in the Midwest
and the Northeast, so it drains the batteries twice as fast,
(24:15):
and it kills their ability to generate power if you
have regenitor of breaking, and then it slows the charging process.
If you're at minus five, an electric car will have
less than fifty percent of its full range. Sometimes the
(24:39):
charging is not possible at all. And the number of
evs in Chicago and the difficulty the owners were having
caused these long lines to build up at the supercharging stations,
and then the cars started dying while the owners were
raiding in line, so it created this Tesla graveyard. Here's
(25:05):
one guy named Tyler Beard. He was at a Tesla
charging station at a Chicago suburb, and he started charging
his Tesla on Sunday afternoon. Nothing, no juice, still on
zero percent. And this is like three hours out here
after being out here eight hours yesterday. So the guy
(25:25):
has spent eleven hours in the freezing cold trying to
charge his Tesla. No thank you. If you're headed to
any of these electric vehicle dealerships right now, turn around,
go home. This is crazy. It's a disaster. Seriously, set
another owner, Chalise Mazelle. Very frustrating, said another one. I
(25:50):
want Elon Musk to do something about this. Some Tesla
owners even found they were unable to open their doors
because of the freezing temperature. Door handle mechanisms didn't work.
This is crazy. I mean, this is flat out not
gonna work at a certain latitude in this country. I mean,
(26:13):
there's a lot of states right now getting freezing temperatures
because this storm came in from the Arctic with a
cold front and it's dropped temperatures really low all the
way into the South. Even Texas they were expecting freezing temperatures.
I know, even in Florida the temperature is supposed to
be down in the low forties tonight. So this is
(26:35):
a bust. But don't worry. You're gonna hear Gavin Newsom
still promoting this stuff. There's plenty of cold temperatures up
in northern California. You're still gonna hear northeastern governors promoting
this crap and Biden as well. More coming up. John
Cobelt showed you you're listening to.
Speaker 5 (26:53):
John Cobelt on demand from KFI Am six forty.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
We're on the radio from one until four and then
after four o'clock it's the John Cobelt on Demand podcast
and we've got a lot of good stuff coming up
in the right after the two o'clock news with Debra,
Nathan Hockman's gonna come on. One of the leading candidates
for La County District Attorney. He's a former federal prosecutor
(27:18):
and assistant US Attorney General, and he is having a
press conference. Basically, he's saying, why the hell is public
why is Tiffany blacknew Gascon's chief of staff? Because she's
not only a public defender, Strike one, she's anti police,
Strike two, she's anti cop Strike three, anti prosecuting criminals.
That Strike four, she should be thrown out of the game,
(27:41):
and ejected from the stadium here, all right, you can't
have her as the chief of staff for our idiot,
whack job district attorney. So Nathan Hockman, well, he wouldn't
say that. I'm saying that that's how I feel should mischaracterize.
Nathan speaks far more formally than I do on the matter.
So that's coming up. If you've been tracking these Israeli protests,
(28:09):
well they hit a new low on Monday yesterday, thousands
gathered in Manhattan demanding a ceasefire because you know, only
only terrorists are supposed to be firing weapons at innocent people, right,
only terrorists should have free reign. God forbid anybody fights
back against terrorists. You know this is a pro homosk crowd.
(28:33):
But guess where they went for their protests. They didn't
go to, you know, a federal office building or one
of the local senators or congressmen who support Israel. No,
they went to the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center to
yell at cancer patients on the Upper East Side. I mean,
(28:53):
this is a new looe. Do they think they're getting
any converts when you start screaming at cancer patients like,
who's so who are you winning over? Then they went
after a Starbucks and a McDonald's and accused, accused the
workers there of making meals for genocide. I don't know
(29:15):
how that tracks. See that one of those, one of
those baristas, is making some complicated coffee mix, and you
have these crazed Palestinians, Palestinian supporters screaming about genocide they made.
They're robots, you know what. They probably were screaming at
(29:37):
the robots. But back to the Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.
Somebody in the crowd beating a drum. There's always some
moron with a drum. Why don't they bang their empty skulls?
It would make the same sound. So this guy's beating
a drum and people chanted MSK. It's memorial Sloan Kettering MSK.
(30:02):
Shame on you, you support genocide. Two They also the
name of the protest was flood Manhattan for a Gaza
MLK Day March for healthcare, and people just were shouting shame, shame.
(30:23):
There was a scuffle. One protester thrown to the ground
by cops. Oh good, I hope they dropped them on
their heads, I really do. And the protesters, of course,
are demanding the cops' names, and I'm sure they were
holding out their phones. This is just this is a
a mental disorder, you know. I've got I've got to
find this article. I found it a couple of months ago,
(30:45):
and I always meant to talk about it, just never
had a chance or and forgot about it. But there
is Christopher Ruffo, who's who's an activist. He wrote a
piece on cluster B. Cluster B is like a syndrome
of certain personality traits, and you see them in public protesters.
(31:07):
You know, they're wild eyed, they're crazy, they're self important,
they're narcissistic, they're delusional, they're emotionally unbalanced. And if you
go through the list of the cluster B symptoms, they
match symptom for symptom. What you're seeing with your own
eyes when you see these protesters screaming, and so, what
(31:30):
you're watching is not a protest about an issue, right,
You're not obviously watching a rational discussion. What you're watching
is somebody having some kind of seizure. They've got a
mental disorder and they can no longer control their impulses
or their feelings or whatever powering them to do this,
And so you're seeing like someone who maybe has I
(31:52):
don't know, an epileptic fit. You're seeing somebody who has
is afflicted with a disorder that they can't control, and
we probably just should pity them or get them treatment
or lock them up. And because normal, the only way
to stop whatever there is to stop in Israel is
(32:14):
for somebody to call Hamas up, the Hamas leaders, and say,
why don't you surrender completely? Everybody? Just turn over all
your weapons, give up all the hostages, inform the Israelis
of all the locations where you have all your men stashed.
All the leaders should surrender and turn themselves over, and
(32:37):
then the retaliation will cease. That's how you stop it.
But screaming at cancer patients or Barista, isn't Starbucks or
the burger flipper at McDonald's. Isn't that, by definition obviously
somebody with a mental disorder. I mean, can you imagine
whatever political issue you're angry with in life? You know
(32:58):
we've all got our list, but you decide, you know what,
I'm gonna take action. I'm gonna do something. You know,
I tried by that McDonald's every day, and I know
they're making burgers there and I know they're shaking the
fry basket and they got that milkshake machine going, and
I'm just going to go in there and yell at
them about the genocide. And you know what that cancer hospital,
(33:19):
those can't those little kids suffering from cancer who were
getting the chemotherapy treatments and they've had their brain tumors
removed and they've lost their hair. I'm gonna yell at
them because they could stop the Israelis if they wanted.
And these are truly mental patients and they ought to
be a van there would be guys with white coats
(33:39):
and nets and take them all into padded rooms. That
would be the appropriate response here. All right, We got
more coming up and after two o'clock. As I said,
Nathan Hoffman, who's one of the leading candidates for district attorney,
and he's got a press conference going on today. He's
demanding that George Gascon get rid of Tiffany black Now
as his chief of staff. Blackmail, anti police, anti prison
(34:03):
pro criminal, a real dangerous activist, probably another cluster B
candidate like the anti Israeli protesters screaming at the cancer patients. Probably,
I'm sure the same ilk Debra Mark live in the
KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Hey, you've been listening to
the John Cobalt Show podcast. You can always hear the
(34:24):
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.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
I am six forty. You're listening to the John Cobelt
podcast on the iHeartRadio app. How's everybody doing? Welcome to
the show. We're on from one till four, then after
four o'clock we've become a podcast, John Cobelt Show on
demand also on the iHeart app. We have so much
to do today, it would take me too long even
to go through it. However, the first thing I want
(00:23):
to get to is the Iowa caucuses. It was the
first first voting done for the twenty twenty four election,
which is going to end up being Trump and Biden
again unless one or both of them drop dead. We're
going to talk again with Sherry Preston from Des Moines
ABC News for KFI. Here's Sherry.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
How are you well. I'm still in the moin and
everybody else packed up on Lemper, New Hampshire. But because
of travel was the blizzard days. I had to stay
in extra day, so that means I get to talk
to you.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Yeah, I was in Iowa once. Not a whole lot
to do there.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
I got to tell you, you know, it's really interesting.
I was talking to one of our our ABC em beds, Okay,
and these are. These are young reporters who go out
with the candidates and then they're with them, you know,
a lot of the time. And we were talking today
because I was interviewing them for this piece, and they said,
(01:23):
you know, I got a different view of Iowa than
I ever thought I would. Young person said, I am
I am black. I'm clear. I didn't think that I
would sit in here, and I've been here for seven
months and has has grown to really appreciate how they
do it in here in this state. You know what
I mean, like a really Oh no, they're very friendly
(01:45):
people for interview.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Yeah, now, there's very friendly people now as I think
of it. I was there twice, so I must have
liked it the first time. Yeah, yeah, no, I'm just
kind of teasing. But uh, it was a much smaller
turnout than they expected. And I thought that was going
to be obvious because it was minus thirty with the
windshill and there's been a lot of snow, and when
(02:06):
they were hyping up this possible record turnout, I thought
that that isn't quite right because there really wasn't a
lot of drama on who is going to win this,
So I just didn't see that the that the right
it was the right set of circumstances to create a
record turnout.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
No exactly, And then you could tell when they started,
you know, putting up the weather forecast, that it was
not going to be the number of people. But you know,
and that's another thing that people have an issue with
the Caucuses, and this being first that you know, you
have three million people in this state alone and a
total of about one hundred and ten thousand of them
(02:43):
determine this whole thing. And I was talking to a
Drake University professor about this just just before I got
on the phone with you, and she teaches this Drake
University here in Ti Moine. And you know, she said
that as people turn out for or something like this,
what they're what they're they're they're very proud of how
(03:05):
how it works, you know what I mean. And they
didn't they didn't they didn't ask for it, you know
what I mean. But they really really this process. It's
fascinating to watch this. I was in a I was
at a Baptist church north of Des Moines in a
in a suburb called Ancony. It's actually one of the
fastest growing suburbs the fastest growing metropolitan areas in all
of Iowa. And I just kind of got there and
(03:28):
and was like, okay, I've never really seen this before.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
You know.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
They they had me set up on a little chair
over on the side of the room, and I said, well,
I kind of need a place to put my laptop
and my microphone, and there was no table, and so
I looked, you know, and I said, could I have
that one? And it's got a Holy Bible sitting on
it and they said, yeah, I don't see why not
go ahead, it's Bible. Off moved the table over for me.
(03:56):
So I had fought roast tea to actually watch how
this was done in a very very really They get up,
they talk.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Yeah, very friendly.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
And then they write down the name, and then they
passed around a little tupperware bowl and everybody put the
names in there, and then they took them up to
the front and they all counted them right there with
you there. It was really fascinating.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Yeah, they're very friendly, accommodating people. I know, Los Angeles
could use more islands living here to kind of change
the nature of this place. But you know, having said
all that, like you know, it's one hundred and ten
thousand people at a three million, So you're dealing with
the inner core of political obsessives. And it's kind of funny, how,
you know, Because the media has to fill their space
(04:37):
and fill their time with something, it blows up into
something of monumental proportion. But the Republican Party is its
own entity. It doesn't represent the general public at large.
It doesn't represent independence, Democrats and everybody else. It doesn't
represent a lot of Republicans who didn't bother to show so,
but this is what the hardcore activist types the really devoting.
(05:01):
This is who they want Trump.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
Well, it's exactly And if you look and the people
that showed up yesterday, they yeah, so it was a
loud and clear what exactly they wanted. I mean, it
was a it was a blowout. It was across the board.
I mean Trump won women, he won men, he won
college educated, he won those without a four year degree,
rural city, all of that. And and now going into
(05:27):
New Hampshire with this giant lead that he really wanted
to hit fifty percent, which he did, and the numbers
two and three, I mean, really, you know they're they
they're you know, struggling for for forty percent between them,
So the two of them combined are still ten points
below Donald Trump. So this is you know, they say
that Iowa doesn't really pick the winner, but it narrows
(05:49):
down the field. That's true. But when you have somebody
who's so dominant, you know, that's I think they just
wanted to see how far ahead he would be. And
I think even a lot of people were really PRIs
by just how absolutely well that he did. And it'll
make a big difference because now you've got going forward. Okay,
how long is Ron Defantis going to stay in it?
He's not pulling well at all, and people today he
(06:12):
was down yeah, in in South and South Carolina today.
But you know, and Nikki Haley same thing. Yeah, like
even if she does well, she doesn't win first. If
she doesn't come in first in New Hampshire, it's very
hard for her to make a case, you know. So
the for going forward, I mean, I'm curious just how
long they'll stay in Well.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Been campaigning in these states for months and months. You know,
some of these primary states you might campaign for five days.
Right as you get deeper into the schedule, you just
don't have the time. In between you know, primary day
each Tuesday. But this has been open season probably for
almost a year for some of these candidates. And if
you haven't made an impression in a year, you're not
(06:55):
going to make an impression there or anywhere else, most likely.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Exactly. And that's another thing that makes Iowa unique is
that this is a state that they can come in
that doesn't have a lot of big media cities, you
know what I mean. It's not a Chicago, it's not
La or New York, you know, you know, or even
like Kansas City or something. It's very small and you
go to these events and these candidates would be there
and you know, people would show up nine o'clock on
(07:21):
a Sunday morning at a pizzas Morgage board to hear
the zk Ramaswami and the place is packed, you know,
because they have been to every single county. They go
out in the middle of nowhere, they go out and
you know, at at bars in Waterloo, and you know,
like I said, a pizza joint in the Oswego or Ames.
(07:42):
It's all across the state and it's one place where
for these candidates that face to FaceTime. Really it's almost
like a training ground.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
It's almost like they're they're going to college or something
because they're learning how to do what it is they
need to learn how to do. It's one thing to
campaign in your state if you're Nicki Haley or Florida
or b Londe Santas, but to meet these people face
to face. And that's another thing that's interesting about Iowa.
That's always been so important here in Iowa, that FaceTime.
But Donald Trump had very little face time here. He
(08:13):
didn't do those pizza joint meetings. He didn't do the
let's go to the church and just shake hands and stuff. No,
he flew in. He had, you know, thirty appearances the
whole time, and they were all big events because she
just didn't need to.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
I remember from one of the last times he ran.
He never eats the awful local food, whatever the special
delicacy is at the fairgrounds. He doesn't touch that stuff.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
There's no fried oreos exactly.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
All right, Well, Sherry, thanks for coming on with us.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
Okay, have a great afternoon and good luck. We'll see
what happens in New Hampshire.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Yeah. Cherry Preston kf I, ABC News on yesterday's blowout
wind for Trump. We've got a few more amusing things
about the caucuses yesterday in Iowa coming up. Oh, and
I should mention. At two o'clock we're going to have
Nathan Hockman on. Nathan Hackman is running for La County
(09:08):
District Attorney. He's a former federal prosecutor and assistant US
Attorney General, and he's one of the leading he's considered
one of the leading candidates, and he was holding a
press conference today at the DA's office, Gascon's office to
protest the promotion that Tiffany Blacknell got as his chief
(09:31):
of staff. Black Nell is a radical anti police, anti
prison activist and now chief of staff for Gascon and
Hawkman thinks that's that's the atrocity, and we're going to
talk to Nathan about that right at the top of
the hour at two o'clock. Right, it's the Johnny co
(09:51):
Belt Show.
Speaker 5 (09:53):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Trump wins big, big, fifty one percent of the vote
in Iowa and the Desantan's got twenty one, Hayley nineteen.
They move on to New Hampshire, but it's it's pretty
clear how this is going to end. I've had trouble
following this the last few weeks and months because it's
obvious what's going to happen, and to the extent that
(10:23):
I'm paying attention, it's I'm amused how relentlessly reporters and
anchors on television try to hype this, and how writers
in newspapers try to analyze it to death. There's nothing
to hype and there's nothing to analyze. That part of
the world wants Trump to win, and he's got the
majority of him in agreement, and the ones in the
(10:46):
Republican Party who don't want Trump to win, Odds are
most of them will vote for Trump in the end anyway.
So it's you know, unless he dies or Biden dies,
those are the two guys that are obviously going to
be the candidates. And boys, there are a lot of noise.
Is there a lot of blown gas?
Speaker 3 (11:03):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Just well, I mean they have jobs, right. You gotta
tract audience. You gotta sell the audience to advertisers. You
got to put something on screen, You got to fill
your the pages of your website or newspaper with some
kind of print. But there were there really was no
contest here. What also amuses me is what candidates say
(11:26):
the day before the vote and then the day after
in the morning the thek Ramaswami was bragging, we will
shock the world tonight. I'm going to guarantee to stay
in this race through November of this year, when we
(11:47):
win the election, through January of next year, when I'm
inaugurated as your next president, and through January of twenty
thirty three, when we leave that White House after two
full terms. He said that yesterday morning. Last night. I mean,
we're talking maybe twelve hours later. There's no path for
(12:09):
me to be the next president. These people are really insane,
aren't they. Sometimes I watch these debates and and you know,
everyone is so earnest, I mean, political geeks are so
(12:32):
naive and earnest, and they're such true believers, and I'm
looking at it, it's like these people are are insane.
Most of these candidates they're they're they're narcissists, they're they're
totally delusional. In some cases. For example, I wouldn't even
mention this guy. I mean, he is such a pimple
(12:54):
on an elephant's rear end. But I had a personal
interaction with him on the show, oh many years ago,
and he's always stuck in my craw for being just
a complete buffoon. And it's Republican Asa Hutchinson, and we
affectionately used to refer to him as Assa Hutchinson. He
(13:16):
was the governor of Arkansas, and boy Arkansas votes for
real winners, and Old Assa eventually got a job in
George W. Bush's administration and he had something to do
with immigration, and I believe it was when they were
shipping illegal aliens here to California and a lot of
(13:39):
the locals were upset and we're protesting, and Old Assa
came on our show and we had a rip roaring
time for about a half an hour because he was
completely full of crap. He was just lying through his teeth.
And the thing is he never goes away. He keeps
running for things. And so he ran for president this
(14:01):
year and he can't paign a lot in Iowa. And
I can tell you this. I don't know where you
are right now, but you came in only one hundred
and ninety one votes behind Assa Hutchinson in Iowa. I
say that because that's all the votes he got he
only got one hundred and ninety one and zero delegates.
(14:24):
His polling average was point zero seven percent, and it
looks like he underperformed. In fact, he came in behind
Ryan Binkley. Now this guy, this guy Hutchinson, he was governor.
(14:47):
I mean he's governor, just like Bill Clinton was in Arkansas,
and he had a major position in the Bush administration.
And Ryan Binkley was as a businessman and a pastor.
And this was his statement. My message of being a
principled Republican with experience and telling the truth about the
(15:08):
current front runner did not sell in Iowa. I stand
by the campaign I ran. I answered every question. I
sounded the warning to the GOP about the risks in
twenty twenty four and presented hope for our country's future.
So after sounding all these warnings, he uh, he then
congratulated Trump on his victory. It is it is. It
(15:35):
is mental illness. It is a delusional narcissism. I don't
know what the exact medical term for insanity. That's what
it is, as a complete, complete crazy person. So they're
gonna they're gonna go onto New Hampshire and it's gonna
another and be another week most likely of the same
thing where there's gonna be an artificial hype. Oh you know,
(15:56):
maybe maybe Trump will be defeated, who's gonna come in
second place, and the same thing's gonna happen, and then
the race will be effectively over. If it's not effectively
over now, I guess we got to put up with
this for another week and then it's god the first
of February, and you're gonna have nine months of Biden
(16:19):
and Trump in the news constantly. And I don't know
that's its own form of insanity, but hey, you know,
this is what people want, So this is what we got.
More coming up again, I have to mention they we're
gonna have Nathan hochmannon, who's one of the leading candidates
for La County District Attorney. There's at least ten of them,
(16:42):
and we're going to try to have them all on
between now and the first Tuesday of March. He is
holding a press conference today outside George Gascon's office, demanding
that the public defender who became his chief of staff,
Tiffany black Now, be removed. He Black Now is is
(17:05):
major trouble. She's anti police, she's anti anti prison, she's
anti prosecuting terrible criminals. And this is Gascone's right hand woman.
So we'll talk to Nathan coming up after two o'clock
on the Joke Coba on the John Cobelt Show. I
(17:25):
can't even say my own name anymore. Take two debor
mark as the news.
Speaker 5 (17:31):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI A six.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
One of the things that we returned to frequently is
the electric vehicle scam that's being perpetrated on us by
Gavin Newsom and Joe Biden's governments. This this forced idea
of we have to all buy electric cars. We won't
be allowed to buy a gas powered car in twenty
(17:58):
thirty five, and this entire industry is wildly overhyped, frequently impractical. Tesla,
of course, is supposed to be the gold standard when
it comes to when it comes to electric vehicles, and
it does perform much better, and they do have their
(18:19):
own charging system, but extremely cold weather like they've had
in the Midwest, where temperatures plunge below zero, will seize
up a lot of electric car batteries, no matter who
made them. We've got a report here from NBC Chicago
the reporter is Charlie wood Jahowski. I think, and this
(18:40):
is on what the freezing temperatures have done to the
electric cars there.
Speaker 6 (18:46):
For Rob Ross, the fancy MACKI electric vehicle is trying
out has not been worth the trouble it's cost.
Speaker 4 (18:52):
Got the tow truck to bring me here. This morning,
I was at five people in front of me, sat here.
My vehicle was like almost on empty, no charge. We
got people sitting in the line right now who actually
they charge. The EV is actually disabled because they can't
even make it pull up to the pull up to
the machine.
Speaker 6 (19:10):
And the charging station to this Evergreen Park public charging
port are full, so full that some evs ran out
of juice before they could get to the machines.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
It's terrible.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
It's like I could be about to be driving and
everything in the cold, but instead I gotta wait in
this awaiting game. Is a waiting game, is a waiting game,
and it's terrible.
Speaker 6 (19:29):
Gary and Rober are learning a hard lesson about EV's
in the extreme cold. They just don't go as far
as they usually do.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
Absolutely uh you know. And EV's that I've driven, I
have seen anywhere from a ten percent to a thirty
percent drop, you know, depending on how cold it is
and the colder it gets.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
The worst of that drop is.
Speaker 6 (19:47):
Patrick Olsen tests evs and other cars as the editor
in chief at carfax dot com.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
Even when I test them, you know, week in and
week out, I have to think ahead about how far
am I going to go and how much do I
want to risk it?
Speaker 6 (19:59):
Making matter is worse. Evs take longer to charge the
colder it is outside.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
You have to come up here, wait two hours to
get on the charger. They tell you the charges are fast.
It takes two hours to charge your car.
Speaker 6 (20:13):
So here in this Evergreen Park parking lot, with temperatures
and the single digits, there are dozens of evs sitting
in the cold waiting for a chance to be charged.
Bob Ross is reconsidering the idea of owning one.
Speaker 4 (20:26):
My conclusion is as far as the driving, everything is
real nice, but not Chicago. Not Chicago. I can't do it.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
That's the NBC Chicago Charlie watchhous. I mean, I'm sitting
here giggling the entire time. This thing is a bust.
Much of the country can't use use electric vehicles. I
mean what Marcus said the story. You have to come
up here, wait two hours to get to the charger.
They tell you it's fast, but then it takes two
(20:57):
hours to charge your car, and that's one of the
fast chargers. So if you're going on, if you want
to go out on a drive, and you see that
your your electric charge is low, well, if it's a
gas powered car, you go to a station which is
generally within a mile of your house, and it takes
(21:17):
five six minutes to fill up your tank full. You
could fill up you know, a half tank or a
quarter tank probably in two minutes, but four hours. I
hope you brought a food and water supply. And it's
seventeen degrees outside with a windshow below zero, and you're
(21:39):
gonna spend four hours just because what you wanted to
drive to work, you wanted to go to the shopping mall.
And these poor SAPs who believed all this stupid hype
and was intimidated by the government. Yeah, I guess I'm
just gonna stand here for two hours and then wait
two hours to charge, and then when you're done, it's
(22:02):
still seventeen degrees out, so you're still going to lose
the charge. Very rapidly, and you're going to have to
do it all over again very soon. I mean that
in Norway half the new cars are half of the
new cars purchased or electric, and the Norwegian Automobile Federation
found that evs lose twenty percent of their driving range
(22:25):
in the cold, and that can more than double if
you had your car's heating system on full blast. I
looked up Norway the other day because there was there
was a similar story. And the average temperature in Oslo, Norway,
the average in January is twenty five degrees, which means
(22:47):
even the high temperature is barely out of the low thirties,
so nearly all the day it's a freezing or below,
which means nearly all the day you're going to lose
twenty percent of your driving range, and then another twenty
percent if you have the heat on. And if it's
twenty five degrees, you're gonna have the heat on, so
(23:10):
you've lost forty percent. Then you have to stand in
the line for two hours, and then you have to
take two hours to charge it, even if you're at
the fastation, because the chargers work really slowly in the
cold too. Here's another story, this was also out of
Chicago that Tesla supercharging stations have become what residents are
(23:32):
calling Tesla graveyards. This is Tesla and they were supposedly
the success at this EV owners have spent days crowded
around charging stations hopelessly trying to power up their cars
temperatures as low as minus five, and left with no
(23:53):
option but to hire a flatbed truck to bring their
vehicles home. By the way, this cold step is going
to be going on all week up in the Midwest
and the Northeast, so it drains the batteries twice as fast,
(24:15):
and it kills their ability to generate power if you
have regenitor of breaking, and then it slows the charging process.
If you're at minus five, an electric car will have
less than fifty percent of its full range. Sometimes the
(24:39):
charging is not possible at all. And the number of
evs in Chicago and the difficulty the owners were having
caused these long lines to build up at the supercharging stations,
and then the cars started dying while the owners were
raiding in line, so it created this Tesla graveyard. Here's
(25:05):
one guy named Tyler Beard. He was at a Tesla
charging station at a Chicago suburb, and he started charging
his Tesla on Sunday afternoon. Nothing, no juice, still on
zero percent. And this is like three hours out here
after being out here eight hours yesterday. So the guy
(25:25):
has spent eleven hours in the freezing cold trying to
charge his Tesla. No thank you. If you're headed to
any of these electric vehicle dealerships right now, turn around,
go home. This is crazy. It's a disaster. Seriously, set
another owner, Chalise Mazelle. Very frustrating, said another one. I
(25:50):
want Elon Musk to do something about this. Some Tesla
owners even found they were unable to open their doors
because of the freezing temperature. Door handle mechanisms didn't work.
This is crazy. I mean, this is flat out not
gonna work at a certain latitude in this country. I mean,
(26:13):
there's a lot of states right now getting freezing temperatures
because this storm came in from the Arctic with a
cold front and it's dropped temperatures really low all the
way into the South. Even Texas they were expecting freezing temperatures.
I know, even in Florida the temperature is supposed to
be down in the low forties tonight. So this is
(26:35):
a bust. But don't worry. You're gonna hear Gavin Newsom
still promoting this stuff. There's plenty of cold temperatures up
in northern California. You're still gonna hear northeastern governors promoting
this crap and Biden as well. More coming up. John
Cobelt showed you you're listening to.
Speaker 5 (26:53):
John Cobelt on demand from KFI Am six forty.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
We're on the radio from one until four and then
after four o'clock it's the John Cobelt on Demand podcast
and we've got a lot of good stuff coming up
in the right after the two o'clock news with Debra,
Nathan Hockman's gonna come on. One of the leading candidates
for La County District Attorney. He's a former federal prosecutor
(27:18):
and assistant US Attorney General, and he is having a
press conference. Basically, he's saying, why the hell is public
why is Tiffany blacknew Gascon's chief of staff? Because she's
not only a public defender, Strike one, she's anti police,
Strike two, she's anti cop Strike three, anti prosecuting criminals.
That Strike four, she should be thrown out of the game,
(27:41):
and ejected from the stadium here, all right, you can't
have her as the chief of staff for our idiot,
whack job district attorney. So Nathan Hockman, well, he wouldn't
say that. I'm saying that that's how I feel should mischaracterize.
Nathan speaks far more formally than I do on the matter.
So that's coming up. If you've been tracking these Israeli protests,
(28:09):
well they hit a new low on Monday yesterday, thousands
gathered in Manhattan demanding a ceasefire because you know, only
only terrorists are supposed to be firing weapons at innocent people, right,
only terrorists should have free reign. God forbid anybody fights
back against terrorists. You know this is a pro homosk crowd.
(28:33):
But guess where they went for their protests. They didn't
go to, you know, a federal office building or one
of the local senators or congressmen who support Israel. No,
they went to the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center to
yell at cancer patients on the Upper East Side. I mean,
(28:53):
this is a new looe. Do they think they're getting
any converts when you start screaming at cancer patients like,
who's so who are you winning over? Then they went
after a Starbucks and a McDonald's and accused, accused the
workers there of making meals for genocide. I don't know
(29:15):
how that tracks. See that one of those, one of
those baristas, is making some complicated coffee mix, and you
have these crazed Palestinians, Palestinian supporters screaming about genocide they made.
They're robots, you know what. They probably were screaming at
(29:37):
the robots. But back to the Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.
Somebody in the crowd beating a drum. There's always some
moron with a drum. Why don't they bang their empty skulls?
It would make the same sound. So this guy's beating
a drum and people chanted MSK. It's memorial Sloan Kettering MSK.
(30:02):
Shame on you, you support genocide. Two They also the
name of the protest was flood Manhattan for a Gaza
MLK Day March for healthcare, and people just were shouting shame, shame.
(30:23):
There was a scuffle. One protester thrown to the ground
by cops. Oh good, I hope they dropped them on
their heads, I really do. And the protesters, of course,
are demanding the cops' names, and I'm sure they were
holding out their phones. This is just this is a
a mental disorder, you know. I've got I've got to
find this article. I found it a couple of months ago,
(30:45):
and I always meant to talk about it, just never
had a chance or and forgot about it. But there
is Christopher Ruffo, who's who's an activist. He wrote a
piece on cluster B. Cluster B is like a syndrome
of certain personality traits, and you see them in public protesters.
(31:07):
You know, they're wild eyed, they're crazy, they're self important,
they're narcissistic, they're delusional, they're emotionally unbalanced. And if you
go through the list of the cluster B symptoms, they
match symptom for symptom. What you're seeing with your own
eyes when you see these protesters screaming, and so, what
(31:30):
you're watching is not a protest about an issue, right,
You're not obviously watching a rational discussion. What you're watching
is somebody having some kind of seizure. They've got a
mental disorder and they can no longer control their impulses
or their feelings or whatever powering them to do this,
And so you're seeing like someone who maybe has I
(31:52):
don't know, an epileptic fit. You're seeing somebody who has
is afflicted with a disorder that they can't control, and
we probably just should pity them or get them treatment
or lock them up. And because normal, the only way
to stop whatever there is to stop in Israel is
(32:14):
for somebody to call Hamas up, the Hamas leaders, and say,
why don't you surrender completely? Everybody? Just turn over all
your weapons, give up all the hostages, inform the Israelis
of all the locations where you have all your men stashed.
All the leaders should surrender and turn themselves over, and
(32:37):
then the retaliation will cease. That's how you stop it.
But screaming at cancer patients or Barista, isn't Starbucks or
the burger flipper at McDonald's. Isn't that, by definition obviously
somebody with a mental disorder. I mean, can you imagine
whatever political issue you're angry with in life? You know
(32:58):
we've all got our list, but you decide, you know what,
I'm gonna take action. I'm gonna do something. You know,
I tried by that McDonald's every day, and I know
they're making burgers there and I know they're shaking the
fry basket and they got that milkshake machine going, and
I'm just going to go in there and yell at
them about the genocide. And you know what that cancer hospital,
(33:19):
those can't those little kids suffering from cancer who were
getting the chemotherapy treatments and they've had their brain tumors
removed and they've lost their hair. I'm gonna yell at
them because they could stop the Israelis if they wanted.
And these are truly mental patients and they ought to
be a van there would be guys with white coats
(33:39):
and nets and take them all into padded rooms. That
would be the appropriate response here. All right, We got
more coming up and after two o'clock. As I said,
Nathan Hoffman, who's one of the leading candidates for district attorney,
and he's got a press conference going on today. He's
demanding that George Gascon get rid of Tiffany black Now
as his chief of staff. Blackmail, anti police, anti prison
(34:03):
pro criminal, a real dangerous activist, probably another cluster B
candidate like the anti Israeli protesters screaming at the cancer patients. Probably,
I'm sure the same ilk Debra Mark live in the
KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Hey, you've been listening to
the John Cobalt Show podcast. You can always hear the
