It's the podcast version and you can hear what you missed.
Moistline is going to be next hour, two rounds of it,
and we want to follow us on social media at
John Cobelt Radio. At John Cobelt Radio is the way
(02:06):
to go there. We're gonna have Vince Fong on the
California Republican Assembly meant to offer his analysis of Gavin
Newsom's new budget.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
We've got a lot of red ink.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
They have blown so much money on nonsense the last
few years. Now, the economy has hit a downturn here
in California. Nobody talks about it, but it has, and
there's not enough revenue. There's there're tens of billions of
dollars short a newsom makes up a new number every time,
because lying is the way to go in America, because
(02:37):
no longer does the media challenge you on lies. As
you're going to see here. It's the reason we're in Bidenville.
The New York Post had the first story I saw,
with a headline that said, Biden tells a lie a
minute during a CNN interview. Almost a lie a minute,
slight exaggeration. In seventeen minutes, Biden told fifteen lies. According
(03:03):
to the Post. He sat down with CNN's Aaron Burnett.
Who I guess the instructions were, you know, ask a
question that sounds a little pointed, a little challenging. But
when the President gives you a big, fat, whopping, stinking lie,
(03:23):
let it stand. Don't challenge, don't correct, don't follow up.
Just let him tell his lie. Because you work for
the White House. Remember you're at CNN, and your our
public relations are your our propaganda megaphone. You're supposed to
(03:44):
amplify whatever lies we're trying to sell to the American people.
The thing is when you when you lie about something
like the inflation rate and the date of the inflation, rate.
That's easily That is easily checkable, you know, by the
fact checkers, even progressive fact checkers have to admit that
(04:05):
Biden lined. And it's also something that's simple. Most people
are aware of the high inflation, right, Most people are
unhappy with it unless you're very rich and you don't care.
So here when when Aaron Burnett hit them with a
question about inflation, listen to this answer.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
No president's had the run we've had in terms of
creating jobs and bring you down. A Fleshon was nine
percent while I came to office nine percent. But look,
people have a right to be concerned. Ordinary people. The
idea that's your your box at check and you get
a thirty dollars fee for boxing the check my change
had it. You can't charge one of the eight books
(04:49):
for that or your credit card, you know, your late
payment thirty five dollars. I mean, there's corporate greed going
on out there that's got to be dealt with.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
For some reason, maybe she was ordered by her bosses.
Maybe she wants to get Biden reelected, so she's not
going to embarrass him. Maybe she doesn't know. I mean,
she's only a CNN anchor. What would she know. But
Aaron Burnett let it slide when he said that inflation
was at nine percent when he took office. Now here's
(05:19):
the truth. In January twenty twenty one, when Joe Biden
replaced Donald Trump, the year to year inflation rate was
one point four percent. That is an absolute fact that
the government of the United States of America recorded one
(05:41):
point four percent.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
It was.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
On all the newscasts, all the news sites, all the papers, everywhere.
Everyone could agree. One point four percent inflation January twenty
twenty one by May of twenty twenty one, five months
into Bidenville five percent inflation rate by June of twenty
(06:07):
twenty two, nine point one percent, he claimed. And he's
done this repeatedly. This is not a mistake. Now this
is either the company line that the White House manipulators
have convinced Biden it really was nine percent when he
(06:29):
took over. Maybe it's Biden's faulty, fading memory from his old, tired,
rotting brain. I don't know. It's it's hard to tell
if it's a sincere belief, it's just Biden bs or
he's gotten reprogrammed. Buy his handlers. When you've got fat
a fragile, malfunctioning, elderly brain. And that's not just my opinion,
(06:54):
that's the opinion of that special counsel that gave him
a pass on his document crimes because he said Biden's
got a faulty memory, so maybe he doesn't remember that
he had a one point four percent inflation rate the
day took over.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
But it was an outright lie.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
And you know, let the record show Aaron Burnett did
not challenge him on that. Now here's cut number two.
This really is confusing. He acknowledges grocery prices but insists
that we have the money to spend. I don't understand it.
(07:34):
I've read the copy. Let's see what it sounds like.
Speaker 6 (07:37):
People are spending more on food and groceries than they
have at anytime really in the past thirty years. I mean,
that's a real day to day pain that people.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
No, it really is, and it's real. But the fact
is that if you take a look at what them
people have, they have the money to spend. As it
angers them and angers me that you have to spend more.
For example, the whole idea of this ocean that Senator
in case you talk about shrink inflation I think you
(08:04):
know it's on.
Speaker 6 (08:05):
Your phone price for a smaller bottle of it.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
Yeah, for example, stickers more, they did a thing and
it's like twenty percent less for the same price. That's
corporate greed.
Speaker 7 (08:15):
That's a corporate greed. Greed.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
You gotta deal with it. And that's what I'm working on.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Got a weirdo is he who does that corporate greed debt?
Speaker 4 (08:23):
This corporate greed breed greed to breed greed that breed.
Speaker 7 (08:33):
Breed.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
So he's he says that that he's just people have
the money. It makes him angry that people have to
pay more money because of corporate greed debt, but they
don't have the money when you jack up grocery prices
by twenty percent, not to mention everything else in the
world that's gone Some of stuff has gone up way
(08:56):
more than twenty percent, and the wages haven't kept up.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
That's a statistical fact.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
He just lies and he gets fixated on how much
snickers are in a stickers bar starts babbling about you
notice both questions he pivoted towards corporate greed. How many
times did they rehearse that with him? No matter what
she asks, remember she's under instructions not to confront you.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
With a lie.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
She's supposed to go along with the program. So you
acknowledge people's plane, but then you claim, oh, no, they
have the money. My economy is not a disaster. They
have the money.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
They're just angry about paying more. But they have the money.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
No, they don't have the money, which is why he's
so unpopular. If he hadn't started this inflation game, he
would be in much better shape. But there is a
day that goes by where I don't hear people bitching
about how much money they have to spend on everything,
(09:58):
and everybody sees it. Now, speaking of how unpopular he is.
When we come back, Aaron Burnett starts telling Biden that
his polling data basically sucks and he seems to have
contradictory views. I'm polling within the same paragraph, practically the
(10:20):
same sentence. We'll talk about that when we return John
Cobelt Show, KFI.
Speaker 8 (10:25):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
We are slogging through Joe Biden on with the designated
mouthpiece at CNN.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Aaron Burnett, she probably thought it. Well, Actually I heard.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Her promoting this, and she's very excited that she was
going to have the exclusive one on one sit down
interview with Joe Biden. And I'm thinking, first thing I
thought of is like, yeah, right, you're going to challenge him.
Cut number three. The New York Post counted fifteen lives
in seventeen minutes. We played two of them where Biden
(11:06):
insisted the inflation rate was nine percent when he took
over from Trump. That is false. The rate was one
point four percent. A year and a half later, it
was nine percent. And then he claimed that even though
grocery prices are at all time high, people still have
money to spend. You do have money to spend. In
(11:26):
other words, you can afford you can afford the inflation rate.
Here's a longer clip, and let's see this apparently addresses
lies number five and six. Hold on, I've got to
go to my live program. Here he's claiming something about
turning the economy around and the polling data is all wrong.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
All right, good, let's play this. This is a little longer.
Speaker 6 (11:50):
It's also true right now, mister president, that voters by
a wide margin trust Trump more on the economy. They
say that in polls and part of the reason for
that may be the number, and you're aware of many
of these. Of course, the cost of buying a home
in the United States is double what it was when
you look at your monthly costs from before the pandemic.
Real income when you account for inflation, is actually down
(12:13):
since you took office, economic growth last week far short
of expectations. Consumer confidence, maybe no surprise, is near a
two year low with less than six months to go
to election day?
Speaker 9 (12:26):
Are you worried that.
Speaker 6 (12:27):
You're running out of time to turn that around?
Speaker 4 (12:29):
Would already turn around? Look you look at the Michigan
survey for sixty five percent of American people think they're
in good shape economic right. I think the nation's not
in good shape, but they're personally good shape. The polling
data has been wrong all along.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
How many stop there?
Speaker 2 (12:45):
That's that's esselate. He said something about the Michigan survey.
I don't know what he's referring to, but he claims
it's sixty five percent say that they're doing all right economically.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
Next line out of his mouth is the polling is
all wrong.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
The polling is all wrong. But in this poll, sixty
five percent say they're doing all right, which still leaves
thirty five percent of the public not have I don't
know what he's referring to, where even if that poll exists,
or if it was just about Michigan or it's I
don't know what that was. But the key to highlighting
that is sixty five percent in the poll say they're
(13:23):
doing all right, but the polling is all wrong again,
brain shot to hell. In no other industry would this
man be allowed to run anything?
Speaker 5 (13:33):
Right?
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Is there a guy like him running any major fortune
five hundred company? Let's say he walks into the office
to apply to be CEO?
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Would anybody hire him to run anything? Play some more?
Speaker 4 (13:50):
The polling data has been wrong all along. How many
you guys do a poll of CNN? How many folks
you have to call to get one response? The idea
that we're in a situation where things are so bad, folks,
that I mean, we've created more jobs. We've made in
a situation where people have access to good paying jobs.
(14:11):
And the last I saw the combination of the inflation,
the cost of inflation, all those things that's really worsome
to people with good reason. That's why I'm working very
hard to bring the cost of Reynolds down to their
homes that are available. Let me say it this way.
When I started this administration, people were saying they're going
(14:35):
to be a collapse in the economy. We have the
strongest economy and the world.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
We're set again in the world world greed da What
is in the world? World?
Speaker 7 (14:48):
World?
Speaker 1 (14:49):
World, world death? What is it with words?
Speaker 7 (14:56):
World?
Speaker 5 (14:57):
Let me say it.
Speaker 7 (14:58):
Again, in the world, free world, preed world, pre world.
Speaker 10 (15:09):
Job shut up.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Here are two other lies he told. He's told this
one over and over. He claims that he created over
fifteen million jobs since I've been president. He didn't create
fifteen million jobs. He took over in the middle of
the pandemic, when politicians had closed down the economy. I mean,
(15:33):
how many jobs did Gavin Newsom shut down in California alone?
How many millions of jobs did Gavin Newsom shut down?
Because his other lie is other than Herbert Hoover, Trump
is the only president who lost more jobs than he created. Oh,
COVID shut down all those jobs. Biden took over after
(15:58):
the pandemic. Well, Biden took over it, then the pandemic
ended and the jobs came back. It was the same
jobs they were the same jobs. They were the same
people who they were working. Government shuts the economy down,
they're not working. Government opens up the economy. They're working.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Again.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Trump didn't lose them, Biden didn't gain them. If it
was reversed, then it would be the same. Biden didn't
lose them and Trump didn't gain them. I'm just complete
and again, again, what is Aaron Burnett doing? She's grown
roots in the chair. I mean, if I'm sitting there,
if you're sitting there, what would you say? It's like, no, no,
(16:40):
wait a second. The pandemic cost all those jobs and
then they all came back.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
Would it have hurt for her to say that?
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Oh, I see, probably got a mandate from the bosses.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
No, no, no, no, we want Biden elected. You can't
do that.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
That's what they did at the ESPN and Disney breed that.
Oh here's another one. Because you know, we have a
thousand billionaires in America. You know what their average federal
tax is eight point three percent.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
That is false.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
The top one tenth of one percent of earners pay
an average of twenty five percent in federal income in
payroll taxes. There are very wealthy people who have a
high net worth, but they just because they're billionaires. If
(17:43):
it's tied up in stock, you don't pay you don't
pay taxes. You don't pay taxes on stock that you
haven't sold. You pay the taxes after you sell the stock.
So let's say you have mister billionaire. He's got a
billion dollars, it's all tied up and stock. Of course,
he doesn't pay taxes on it. He hasn't sold, and
(18:05):
when he sells, he only pays capital gains tax on
the increase. Also, what very wealthy people do. And if
this bothers you, then you go get wealthy. You invent Amazon,
you invent Tesla? What are you doing with your day?
I can't stand people. It really makes me crazy when
people bitch and complain about Jeff Bezos or Elon Musk
(18:25):
or whoever. It's like, well, what did you do today?
Elon Musk invented Tesla and SpaceX. What you do Amazon?
Jeff Bezos started that company. He had a card table
and a vinyl banner and a rented garage. Go look
it up, go look the earliest photos. And Jeff Bezos
is a businessman in a rented garage with a vinyl
(18:48):
banner that says Amazon. He's at a card table doing
his business. You didn't do that, he did anyway. What
billionaires do is they borrow against their stock wealth and
they live off the borrowed money. You don't have to
pay taxes on borrowed money. That's how that works. Of
course Aaron Brunett should know that, but she's not there
(19:13):
to be a journalist. Day we have Ashley Johnson Live,
the Vince Fong coming up to talk about Newsom's gushing
red ink. He's the Republican Assemblyman.
Speaker 8 (19:24):
You're listening to John Cobel's on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Quite a day. We got much to come.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
Vince Fong, the Republican Assemblyment is going to be on
in just seconds. I want to remind you that we've
got two runs of the Moistline coming up after three o'clock.
If you want to get in on next week's Moistline,
maybe something happened today that you want to invent on
eight seven seven Moist eighty six, Get in early, get
it off in eight seven seven, Moist davy six and
three twenty and three point fifty. We're gonna have this
(19:54):
week's Moistline. Also want to follow us on social media
at John Cobelt Radio is the way to do that. Now,
today we've got Gavin Newsom claiming a twenty seven and
a half million dollar budget deficit.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
A budget deficit.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
The state already cut seventeen billion, now it's got another
twenty seven and a half billion to go. The spending
got so bloated under his leadership that now they're scrambling
around to cut all kinds of nonsense. And they're also
they're also going.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
To be raiding their reserves.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
And finnz Fong is coming on the Republican assemblyman to
talk about all this.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
He's from the Central Valley. Evince, how are you?
Speaker 10 (20:40):
I'm Meggan in there, how are you?
Speaker 2 (20:42):
I'm all right, your Vice Terry of the Assembly Budget Committee,
So you should know what you're talking about here. The
Legislative Analyst Office, is that the correct name for that office?
They said it was seventy three billion, and then news
claimed it was much lower. But now he's had two
(21:04):
separate budget cut announcements, and you know, he cut seventeen billion,
now he's got to cut another twenty seven billion. He's
playing some kind of game here, right. He keeps coming
up with different numbers to confuse people about the size
of the total budget.
Speaker 5 (21:21):
Yeah, it's all smoking mirrors. I mean, the LAO has
not come out with an analysis, which we're expecting soon.
But you know, the governor's budget is a mess. You
and I have been right the whole time. This whole
budget situation has been unsustainable. If you get rid of
all the gimmicks and the deferrals and the accounting games,
(21:43):
you're looking at probably a budget deficit in the reality
north of forty billion dollars. So you know, you got
to look past the rhetoric, look at the details. The
details clearly show and I wish the governor had showed that.
The governor has overseen a budget that's clearly founded on
fiscal mismanagement. We went from a ninety eight billion dollar
(22:05):
budget so plus to a fiscal emergency in less than
three years. That's the definition of fiscal mismanagement.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
And he's doing all kinds of stupid tricks, like they're
going to be paying people a day late on July first,
so it counts towards the twenty twenty five budget and
not this year's budget.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
Right.
Speaker 5 (22:23):
Oh yeah, that's that is the most egregious budget gimmick,
and I mean no, no business in California can do
that on their taxes, but the governor is going to
do that on the budget to try to shift the
costs into a new into a new year, into a
new budget year, even though those costs still remain.
Speaker 10 (22:41):
And then you look at the.
Speaker 5 (22:42):
He's cutting water storage, he's increasing their taxes on farmers,
he's uh, you know, he's putting more regulations on on businesses.
And that's in reality, that's how you're going to solve
the budget. You've try to get the economy better so
that businesses in Californians stay in California.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
I remember, in the tail end of the Schwarzenegger days,
which was only fourteen years ago, the budget was about
one hundred million dollars. Last year is three hundred and
ten million. How the hell did they triple the size
of state government in fourteen years?
Speaker 1 (23:17):
How did that happen?
Speaker 5 (23:19):
I mean, it's it's the governor's quest to solve every
single problem with a state government program. When I was
first elected in eight years ago, the state budget of
California was one hundred and sixty seven billion dollars. And
now you look at it now, you're right, it's three
hundred and eleven billion. And we've been warning the governor
this whole path, this whole growth of government is completely unsustainable.
Speaker 10 (23:44):
The economy is slowing down, the business climate.
Speaker 5 (23:46):
Has gotten worse, and now he's got to look look
at himself in the mirror. He's responsible for this problem.
And now Californians are going to bear all the costs,
all the burdens for his mismanagement.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
They wouldn't try a tax increase this year, would.
Speaker 5 (24:03):
They, Well, if you look at the if you look
at the budget, there are tax increases. He's getting rid
of the net operating loss tax reduction, he is increasing
the mill tax, which is a tax on products used
by farmers to produce food.
Speaker 10 (24:20):
You know, the gas tax has gone up. He hasn't
stopped it. That's that's a serious that's right.
Speaker 5 (24:25):
Jall I.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
First, jill I.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
First, gas tax goes up again, right, goes up every
year in the first of July exactly.
Speaker 5 (24:31):
The MCO tax was increased, uh in in January. So
you know, if the governor is going to look at
Californias and with a straight face say that there are
no tax increases, it's completely false. He's lying there are
tax increases in this budget, and this.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
Is just really a disaster. I mean, I mean, I
mean they really he really went nuts and the legislature
went nuts on this spending. I guess they don't particularly care, though,
do they. They'll just I mean, they don't think it's
incompetence what.
Speaker 10 (25:02):
They're in a bubble.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
They're in a bubble.
Speaker 10 (25:04):
And you look at the minimum wage increases that have
been posted. He's going to delay that.
Speaker 5 (25:09):
You look at the fast food increase. I mean, you've
got businesses closing, You've got corporations that are leaving the
city California. You've got people on the all cross the
income spectrum leaving the state.
Speaker 10 (25:22):
How are we going up?
Speaker 5 (25:23):
How are we going to function and get a budget
healthy when there's no one left in California?
Speaker 1 (25:30):
That's nuts?
Speaker 2 (25:31):
All right, Vince, thank you for coming on and helping
to explain all this.
Speaker 10 (25:35):
I appreciate you've been right the whole time.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
John, I know.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
It's so of you. So we'll just keep getting together
every once in a while and being right.
Speaker 10 (25:45):
Wow, the California's are waking up. Okay, I appreciate your tens.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
Of this, all right, thanks a lot, Vince Fong, And
he's the advice chair of the Assembly Budget Committee. And
by the way, it's no special magic to being right
on this, it's just math.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
It's basic math.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
If you have one hundred billion dollar budget and twenty
ten and you got a three hundred and ten dollars
three hundred and ten billion dollar budget fourteen years later,
you're blowing money on nonsense.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Now he's gonna cut money on some of the nonsense.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
They're gonna be cutting over three hundred million from the
welfare program. Well, it shouldn't have blowed it up to that,
you know. It's almost like we have to rely on
economic downturns in order to slightly straighten out the spending.
They're going to cut a half billion dollars from school
facility construction. We have an enormous number of empty school
(26:36):
buildings now because the population has been going down. The
birth rate has gone down. I know in Los Angeles
they were building. Los Angeles used to have seven or
eight hundred thousand kids that they that they taught at LAUSD.
It's now about half that, and it dropped by fifty
(27:01):
percent after they built all these new classrooms. There are
a lot of empty classrooms, which is why the LA
Teachers Union has proposed having illegal aliens live in empty
school buildings. There's so much empty space inside they think
the illegal aliens ought to have a home in there.
(27:24):
They're stealing billions of dollars from clean energy projects.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
Oh, I guess they're not that important. Huh.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
They're going to cut a billion dollars in spending on
public transit and rail lines.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
Oh wow, what are you gonna do?
Speaker 2 (27:39):
How are the vagrants and the drug addicts and the
mental basis going to get around? They're gonna cut a
half billion dollars from preschool in kindergarten facilities.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
Oh, listen to this?
Speaker 2 (27:52):
Was any bragging the other day about the spending increases
for homeless.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
They're cutting two hundred and thirty.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
Million in bridge housing funds for drug addicts and mental
illness patience. I thought they were expanding those programs.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
Oh, I guess not. All right?
Speaker 8 (28:06):
More coming up, you're listening to John Cobels on demand
from KFI Am six forty.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
We've got two Randelum waistline coming up after three o'clock.

million jobs here, it says bird. Jeez, oh look, oh wow,
that's a nice cake. Wow, I love Oreos. This is
(28:40):
quite the crowd.
Speaker 9 (28:44):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
Wow, it's uh, it's Friday.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
None of you are supposed to be here.
Speaker 11 (28:51):
I was going to say, I don't know there was
this many people in the building.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
I did it either. None of you have been laid
off yet.
Speaker 11 (28:57):
But what's funny is everybody that's in this room right
now is usually people that are here on Friday, right.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
I know that's it. The rest of the building's emptakes.
Speaker 9 (29:03):
They just want cake, free food at the radio station,
and it only gets everybody to call it looks like
an Oreo cookies and cream cake, which is actually one
of my favorites because Oreos are my favorite cookie.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
Well, look at that.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
Somebody must have known that that's a good looking I'm
guessing Baallyo.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
So thank you Ballyo, Cheez and charge of Cakes. Thank
you everybody for singing. I appreciate it. I hate making
a big meal about My question to Eric was the
only question I have for you today.
Speaker 9 (29:26):
He started going over the over the rundown of the show,
I said, how high are you going to get this weekend?
Speaker 5 (29:32):
I want to know.
Speaker 11 (29:35):
That'll be enough. That'll be enough. There's gonna be plenty
of booze though to night at my party. I'll tell
you that we only need him sober for one more hour.
He can go do it, Go do what you want.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
Yeah, go run him up the rest of the week.
I don't care.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
All right, thank you, everybody, thank you, all right, congratulations,
thank you, thank you.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
John.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
All right, Eric Sklire there a happy birthday to him.
We were we were just talking with Vince Fong, who's
the Assembly Republican vice chair of the Budget Committee, about
Newsom's speech today and cal Matters, which is normally a
very sober website. It's the California News. They got a
(30:13):
writer named John Osborne Dagostino, and he is put together
a Newsom lingo bingo chart. You can play this if
you go to Calmatters dot org.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
You could. You could probably on YouTube, I.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
Guess, I guess. Do some gave a speech today on this.
I'm not sure, but you could. You could play this
endlessly at home. In fact, you want to celebrate Eric's birthday,
get drunk this afternoon and uh put out a Gavin
Newsom's speech and then play along with Newsom lingo bingo,
and it's set up like a Bingo card, but instead
(30:45):
of numbers, it's all that phony jargon, techno jargon that
he speaks in.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
And here's some of the examples.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
You you put a bingo chip down or put an
X down every time he uses a phrase life process
of engagement, Profligate writes regression. These are apparently common phrases
that he uses constantly. Deeply situational. Now do you know
anybody who uses a phrase like deeply situational? And that
(31:16):
that's what's funny about this. These phrases mostly are things
that no one else utters out loud. Nobody else even
writes these phrases reasonably cogent. Equity multiplier, equity multiplier, a construct.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
Of concern, foundational.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
Uh intentionality, the care economy, fundamental construct. Have you ever
heard anybody say fundamental construct out loud in a in
a casual conversation or even in a formal speech. Overly
prescriptive response, metric stretch, goal, revenue volatility. Anyway, let me see,
(32:04):
there's one, two, three, four, five, There's twenty five of these,
and then you have the freebe square in the middle,
and you can play this online. You listen to a
speech and then you click and you can reset and
listen to a second speech, and you can drink the
whole way. So this is this would be great at
your birthday party later. Have everybody play Newsom, Lingo, bingo,
and you could put a Newsome speech on the big screen.
Speaker 11 (32:28):
And I don't know how much fun that'll be At
a party.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
You can drunk enoup. Anything's fun. That's fair, all right,
we come back. Oh, what the hell, we've got more stuff.
We're not organized today. We're gonna start drinking early. Two
rounds of the moistline, that's for sure. Next hour, Debor

Moistline is going to be next hour, two rounds of it,
and we want to follow us on social media at
John Cobelt Radio. At John Cobelt Radio is the way
(02:06):
to go there. We're gonna have Vince Fong on the
California Republican Assembly meant to offer his analysis of Gavin
Newsom's new budget.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
We've got a lot of red ink.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
They have blown so much money on nonsense the last
few years. Now, the economy has hit a downturn here
in California. Nobody talks about it, but it has, and
there's not enough revenue. There's there're tens of billions of
dollars short a newsom makes up a new number every time,
because lying is the way to go in America, because
(02:37):
no longer does the media challenge you on lies. As
you're going to see here. It's the reason we're in Bidenville.
The New York Post had the first story I saw,
with a headline that said, Biden tells a lie a
minute during a CNN interview. Almost a lie a minute,
slight exaggeration. In seventeen minutes, Biden told fifteen lies. According
(03:03):
to the Post. He sat down with CNN's Aaron Burnett.
Who I guess the instructions were, you know, ask a
question that sounds a little pointed, a little challenging. But
when the President gives you a big, fat, whopping, stinking lie,
(03:23):
let it stand. Don't challenge, don't correct, don't follow up.
Just let him tell his lie. Because you work for
the White House. Remember you're at CNN, and your our
public relations are your our propaganda megaphone. You're supposed to
(03:44):
amplify whatever lies we're trying to sell to the American people.
The thing is when you when you lie about something
like the inflation rate and the date of the inflation, rate.
That's easily That is easily checkable, you know, by the
fact checkers, even progressive fact checkers have to admit that
(04:05):
Biden lined. And it's also something that's simple. Most people
are aware of the high inflation, right, Most people are
unhappy with it unless you're very rich and you don't care.
So here when when Aaron Burnett hit them with a
question about inflation, listen to this answer.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
No president's had the run we've had in terms of
creating jobs and bring you down. A Fleshon was nine
percent while I came to office nine percent. But look,
people have a right to be concerned. Ordinary people. The
idea that's your your box at check and you get
a thirty dollars fee for boxing the check my change
had it. You can't charge one of the eight books
(04:49):
for that or your credit card, you know, your late
payment thirty five dollars. I mean, there's corporate greed going
on out there that's got to be dealt with.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
For some reason, maybe she was ordered by her bosses.
Maybe she wants to get Biden reelected, so she's not
going to embarrass him. Maybe she doesn't know. I mean,
she's only a CNN anchor. What would she know. But
Aaron Burnett let it slide when he said that inflation
was at nine percent when he took office. Now here's
(05:19):
the truth. In January twenty twenty one, when Joe Biden
replaced Donald Trump, the year to year inflation rate was
one point four percent. That is an absolute fact that
the government of the United States of America recorded one
(05:41):
point four percent.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
It was.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
On all the newscasts, all the news sites, all the papers, everywhere.
Everyone could agree. One point four percent inflation January twenty
twenty one by May of twenty twenty one, five months
into Bidenville five percent inflation rate by June of twenty
(06:07):
twenty two, nine point one percent, he claimed. And he's
done this repeatedly. This is not a mistake. Now this
is either the company line that the White House manipulators
have convinced Biden it really was nine percent when he
(06:29):
took over. Maybe it's Biden's faulty, fading memory from his old, tired,
rotting brain. I don't know. It's it's hard to tell
if it's a sincere belief, it's just Biden bs or
he's gotten reprogrammed. Buy his handlers. When you've got fat
a fragile, malfunctioning, elderly brain. And that's not just my opinion,
(06:54):
that's the opinion of that special counsel that gave him
a pass on his document crimes because he said Biden's
got a faulty memory, so maybe he doesn't remember that
he had a one point four percent inflation rate the
day took over.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
But it was an outright lie.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
And you know, let the record show Aaron Burnett did
not challenge him on that. Now here's cut number two.
This really is confusing. He acknowledges grocery prices but insists
that we have the money to spend. I don't understand it.
(07:34):
I've read the copy. Let's see what it sounds like.
Speaker 6 (07:37):
People are spending more on food and groceries than they
have at anytime really in the past thirty years. I mean,
that's a real day to day pain that people.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
No, it really is, and it's real. But the fact
is that if you take a look at what them
people have, they have the money to spend. As it
angers them and angers me that you have to spend more.
For example, the whole idea of this ocean that Senator
in case you talk about shrink inflation I think you
(08:04):
know it's on.
Speaker 6 (08:05):
Your phone price for a smaller bottle of it.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
Yeah, for example, stickers more, they did a thing and
it's like twenty percent less for the same price. That's
corporate greed.
Speaker 7 (08:15):
That's a corporate greed. Greed.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
You gotta deal with it. And that's what I'm working on.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Got a weirdo is he who does that corporate greed debt?
Speaker 4 (08:23):
This corporate greed breed greed to breed greed that breed.
Speaker 7 (08:33):
Breed.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
So he's he says that that he's just people have
the money. It makes him angry that people have to
pay more money because of corporate greed debt, but they
don't have the money when you jack up grocery prices
by twenty percent, not to mention everything else in the
world that's gone Some of stuff has gone up way
(08:56):
more than twenty percent, and the wages haven't kept up.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
That's a statistical fact.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
He just lies and he gets fixated on how much
snickers are in a stickers bar starts babbling about you
notice both questions he pivoted towards corporate greed. How many
times did they rehearse that with him? No matter what
she asks, remember she's under instructions not to confront you.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
With a lie.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
She's supposed to go along with the program. So you
acknowledge people's plane, but then you claim, oh, no, they
have the money. My economy is not a disaster. They
have the money.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
They're just angry about paying more. But they have the money.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
No, they don't have the money, which is why he's
so unpopular. If he hadn't started this inflation game, he
would be in much better shape. But there is a
day that goes by where I don't hear people bitching
about how much money they have to spend on everything,
(09:58):
and everybody sees it. Now, speaking of how unpopular he is.
When we come back, Aaron Burnett starts telling Biden that
his polling data basically sucks and he seems to have
contradictory views. I'm polling within the same paragraph, practically the
(10:20):
same sentence. We'll talk about that when we return John
Cobelt Show, KFI.
Speaker 8 (10:25):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
We are slogging through Joe Biden on with the designated
mouthpiece at CNN.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Aaron Burnett, she probably thought it. Well, Actually I heard.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Her promoting this, and she's very excited that she was
going to have the exclusive one on one sit down
interview with Joe Biden. And I'm thinking, first thing I
thought of is like, yeah, right, you're going to challenge him.
Cut number three. The New York Post counted fifteen lives
in seventeen minutes. We played two of them where Biden
(11:06):
insisted the inflation rate was nine percent when he took
over from Trump. That is false. The rate was one
point four percent. A year and a half later, it
was nine percent. And then he claimed that even though
grocery prices are at all time high, people still have
money to spend. You do have money to spend. In
(11:26):
other words, you can afford you can afford the inflation rate.
Here's a longer clip, and let's see this apparently addresses
lies number five and six. Hold on, I've got to
go to my live program. Here he's claiming something about
turning the economy around and the polling data is all wrong.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
All right, good, let's play this. This is a little longer.
Speaker 6 (11:50):
It's also true right now, mister president, that voters by
a wide margin trust Trump more on the economy. They
say that in polls and part of the reason for
that may be the number, and you're aware of many
of these. Of course, the cost of buying a home
in the United States is double what it was when
you look at your monthly costs from before the pandemic.
Real income when you account for inflation, is actually down
(12:13):
since you took office, economic growth last week far short
of expectations. Consumer confidence, maybe no surprise, is near a
two year low with less than six months to go
to election day?
Speaker 9 (12:26):
Are you worried that.
Speaker 6 (12:27):
You're running out of time to turn that around?
Speaker 4 (12:29):
Would already turn around? Look you look at the Michigan
survey for sixty five percent of American people think they're
in good shape economic right. I think the nation's not
in good shape, but they're personally good shape. The polling
data has been wrong all along.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
How many stop there?
Speaker 2 (12:45):
That's that's esselate. He said something about the Michigan survey.
I don't know what he's referring to, but he claims
it's sixty five percent say that they're doing all right economically.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
Next line out of his mouth is the polling is
all wrong.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
The polling is all wrong. But in this poll, sixty
five percent say they're doing all right, which still leaves
thirty five percent of the public not have I don't
know what he's referring to, where even if that poll exists,
or if it was just about Michigan or it's I
don't know what that was. But the key to highlighting
that is sixty five percent in the poll say they're
(13:23):
doing all right, but the polling is all wrong again,
brain shot to hell. In no other industry would this
man be allowed to run anything?
Speaker 5 (13:33):
Right?
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Is there a guy like him running any major fortune
five hundred company? Let's say he walks into the office
to apply to be CEO?
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Would anybody hire him to run anything? Play some more?
Speaker 4 (13:50):
The polling data has been wrong all along. How many
you guys do a poll of CNN? How many folks
you have to call to get one response? The idea
that we're in a situation where things are so bad, folks,
that I mean, we've created more jobs. We've made in
a situation where people have access to good paying jobs.
(14:11):
And the last I saw the combination of the inflation,
the cost of inflation, all those things that's really worsome
to people with good reason. That's why I'm working very
hard to bring the cost of Reynolds down to their
homes that are available. Let me say it this way.
When I started this administration, people were saying they're going
(14:35):
to be a collapse in the economy. We have the
strongest economy and the world.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
We're set again in the world world greed da What
is in the world? World?
Speaker 7 (14:48):
World?
Speaker 1 (14:49):
World, world death? What is it with words?
Speaker 7 (14:56):
World?
Speaker 5 (14:57):
Let me say it.
Speaker 7 (14:58):
Again, in the world, free world, preed world, pre world.
Speaker 10 (15:09):
Job shut up.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Here are two other lies he told. He's told this
one over and over. He claims that he created over
fifteen million jobs since I've been president. He didn't create
fifteen million jobs. He took over in the middle of
the pandemic, when politicians had closed down the economy. I mean,
(15:33):
how many jobs did Gavin Newsom shut down in California alone?
How many millions of jobs did Gavin Newsom shut down?
Because his other lie is other than Herbert Hoover, Trump
is the only president who lost more jobs than he created. Oh,
COVID shut down all those jobs. Biden took over after
(15:58):
the pandemic. Well, Biden took over it, then the pandemic
ended and the jobs came back. It was the same
jobs they were the same jobs. They were the same
people who they were working. Government shuts the economy down,
they're not working. Government opens up the economy. They're working.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Again.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Trump didn't lose them, Biden didn't gain them. If it
was reversed, then it would be the same. Biden didn't
lose them and Trump didn't gain them. I'm just complete
and again, again, what is Aaron Burnett doing? She's grown
roots in the chair. I mean, if I'm sitting there,
if you're sitting there, what would you say? It's like, no, no,
(16:40):
wait a second. The pandemic cost all those jobs and
then they all came back.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
Would it have hurt for her to say that?
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Oh, I see, probably got a mandate from the bosses.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
No, no, no, no, we want Biden elected. You can't
do that.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
That's what they did at the ESPN and Disney breed that.
Oh here's another one. Because you know, we have a
thousand billionaires in America. You know what their average federal
tax is eight point three percent.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
That is false.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
The top one tenth of one percent of earners pay
an average of twenty five percent in federal income in
payroll taxes. There are very wealthy people who have a
high net worth, but they just because they're billionaires. If
(17:43):
it's tied up in stock, you don't pay you don't
pay taxes. You don't pay taxes on stock that you
haven't sold. You pay the taxes after you sell the stock.
So let's say you have mister billionaire. He's got a
billion dollars, it's all tied up and stock. Of course,
he doesn't pay taxes on it. He hasn't sold, and
(18:05):
when he sells, he only pays capital gains tax on
the increase. Also, what very wealthy people do. And if
this bothers you, then you go get wealthy. You invent Amazon,
you invent Tesla? What are you doing with your day?
I can't stand people. It really makes me crazy when
people bitch and complain about Jeff Bezos or Elon Musk
(18:25):
or whoever. It's like, well, what did you do today?
Elon Musk invented Tesla and SpaceX. What you do Amazon?
Jeff Bezos started that company. He had a card table
and a vinyl banner and a rented garage. Go look
it up, go look the earliest photos. And Jeff Bezos
is a businessman in a rented garage with a vinyl
(18:48):
banner that says Amazon. He's at a card table doing
his business. You didn't do that, he did anyway. What
billionaires do is they borrow against their stock wealth and
they live off the borrowed money. You don't have to
pay taxes on borrowed money. That's how that works. Of
course Aaron Brunett should know that, but she's not there
(19:13):
to be a journalist. Day we have Ashley Johnson Live,
the Vince Fong coming up to talk about Newsom's gushing
red ink. He's the Republican Assemblyman.
Speaker 8 (19:24):
You're listening to John Cobel's on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Quite a day. We got much to come.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
Vince Fong, the Republican Assemblyment is going to be on
in just seconds. I want to remind you that we've
got two runs of the Moistline coming up after three o'clock.
If you want to get in on next week's Moistline,
maybe something happened today that you want to invent on
eight seven seven Moist eighty six, Get in early, get
it off in eight seven seven, Moist davy six and
three twenty and three point fifty. We're gonna have this
(19:54):
week's Moistline. Also want to follow us on social media
at John Cobelt Radio is the way to do that. Now,
today we've got Gavin Newsom claiming a twenty seven and
a half million dollar budget deficit.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
A budget deficit.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
The state already cut seventeen billion, now it's got another
twenty seven and a half billion to go. The spending
got so bloated under his leadership that now they're scrambling
around to cut all kinds of nonsense. And they're also
they're also going.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
To be raiding their reserves.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
And finnz Fong is coming on the Republican assemblyman to
talk about all this.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
He's from the Central Valley. Evince, how are you?
Speaker 10 (20:40):
I'm Meggan in there, how are you?
Speaker 2 (20:42):
I'm all right, your Vice Terry of the Assembly Budget Committee,
So you should know what you're talking about here. The
Legislative Analyst Office, is that the correct name for that office?
They said it was seventy three billion, and then news
claimed it was much lower. But now he's had two
(21:04):
separate budget cut announcements, and you know, he cut seventeen billion,
now he's got to cut another twenty seven billion. He's
playing some kind of game here, right. He keeps coming
up with different numbers to confuse people about the size
of the total budget.
Speaker 5 (21:21):
Yeah, it's all smoking mirrors. I mean, the LAO has
not come out with an analysis, which we're expecting soon.
But you know, the governor's budget is a mess. You
and I have been right the whole time. This whole
budget situation has been unsustainable. If you get rid of
all the gimmicks and the deferrals and the accounting games,
(21:43):
you're looking at probably a budget deficit in the reality
north of forty billion dollars. So you know, you got
to look past the rhetoric, look at the details. The
details clearly show and I wish the governor had showed that.
The governor has overseen a budget that's clearly founded on
fiscal mismanagement. We went from a ninety eight billion dollar
(22:05):
budget so plus to a fiscal emergency in less than
three years. That's the definition of fiscal mismanagement.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
And he's doing all kinds of stupid tricks, like they're
going to be paying people a day late on July first,
so it counts towards the twenty twenty five budget and
not this year's budget.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
Right.
Speaker 5 (22:23):
Oh yeah, that's that is the most egregious budget gimmick,
and I mean no, no business in California can do
that on their taxes, but the governor is going to
do that on the budget to try to shift the
costs into a new into a new year, into a
new budget year, even though those costs still remain.
Speaker 10 (22:41):
And then you look at the.
Speaker 5 (22:42):
He's cutting water storage, he's increasing their taxes on farmers,
he's uh, you know, he's putting more regulations on on businesses.
And that's in reality, that's how you're going to solve
the budget. You've try to get the economy better so
that businesses in Californians stay in California.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
I remember, in the tail end of the Schwarzenegger days,
which was only fourteen years ago, the budget was about
one hundred million dollars. Last year is three hundred and
ten million. How the hell did they triple the size
of state government in fourteen years?
Speaker 1 (23:17):
How did that happen?
Speaker 5 (23:19):
I mean, it's it's the governor's quest to solve every
single problem with a state government program. When I was
first elected in eight years ago, the state budget of
California was one hundred and sixty seven billion dollars. And
now you look at it now, you're right, it's three
hundred and eleven billion. And we've been warning the governor
this whole path, this whole growth of government is completely unsustainable.
Speaker 10 (23:44):
The economy is slowing down, the business climate.
Speaker 5 (23:46):
Has gotten worse, and now he's got to look look
at himself in the mirror. He's responsible for this problem.
And now Californians are going to bear all the costs,
all the burdens for his mismanagement.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
They wouldn't try a tax increase this year, would.
Speaker 5 (24:03):
They, Well, if you look at the if you look
at the budget, there are tax increases. He's getting rid
of the net operating loss tax reduction, he is increasing
the mill tax, which is a tax on products used
by farmers to produce food.
Speaker 10 (24:20):
You know, the gas tax has gone up. He hasn't
stopped it. That's that's a serious that's right.
Speaker 5 (24:25):
Jall I.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
First, jill I.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
First, gas tax goes up again, right, goes up every
year in the first of July exactly.
Speaker 5 (24:31):
The MCO tax was increased, uh in in January. So
you know, if the governor is going to look at
Californias and with a straight face say that there are
no tax increases, it's completely false. He's lying there are
tax increases in this budget, and this.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
Is just really a disaster. I mean, I mean, I
mean they really he really went nuts and the legislature
went nuts on this spending. I guess they don't particularly care, though,
do they. They'll just I mean, they don't think it's
incompetence what.
Speaker 10 (25:02):
They're in a bubble.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
They're in a bubble.
Speaker 10 (25:04):
And you look at the minimum wage increases that have
been posted. He's going to delay that.
Speaker 5 (25:09):
You look at the fast food increase. I mean, you've
got businesses closing, You've got corporations that are leaving the
city California. You've got people on the all cross the
income spectrum leaving the state.
Speaker 10 (25:22):
How are we going up?
Speaker 5 (25:23):
How are we going to function and get a budget
healthy when there's no one left in California?
Speaker 1 (25:30):
That's nuts?
Speaker 2 (25:31):
All right, Vince, thank you for coming on and helping
to explain all this.
Speaker 10 (25:35):
I appreciate you've been right the whole time.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
John, I know.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
It's so of you. So we'll just keep getting together
every once in a while and being right.
Speaker 10 (25:45):
Wow, the California's are waking up. Okay, I appreciate your tens.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
Of this, all right, thanks a lot, Vince Fong, And
he's the advice chair of the Assembly Budget Committee. And
by the way, it's no special magic to being right
on this, it's just math.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
It's basic math.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
If you have one hundred billion dollar budget and twenty
ten and you got a three hundred and ten dollars
three hundred and ten billion dollar budget fourteen years later,
you're blowing money on nonsense.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Now he's gonna cut money on some of the nonsense.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
They're gonna be cutting over three hundred million from the
welfare program. Well, it shouldn't have blowed it up to that,
you know. It's almost like we have to rely on
economic downturns in order to slightly straighten out the spending.
They're going to cut a half billion dollars from school
facility construction. We have an enormous number of empty school
(26:36):
buildings now because the population has been going down. The
birth rate has gone down. I know in Los Angeles
they were building. Los Angeles used to have seven or
eight hundred thousand kids that they that they taught at LAUSD.
It's now about half that, and it dropped by fifty
(27:01):
percent after they built all these new classrooms. There are
a lot of empty classrooms, which is why the LA
Teachers Union has proposed having illegal aliens live in empty
school buildings. There's so much empty space inside they think
the illegal aliens ought to have a home in there.
(27:24):
They're stealing billions of dollars from clean energy projects.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
Oh, I guess they're not that important. Huh.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
They're going to cut a billion dollars in spending on
public transit and rail lines.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
Oh wow, what are you gonna do?
Speaker 2 (27:39):
How are the vagrants and the drug addicts and the
mental basis going to get around? They're gonna cut a
half billion dollars from preschool in kindergarten facilities.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
Oh, listen to this?
Speaker 2 (27:52):
Was any bragging the other day about the spending increases
for homeless.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
They're cutting two hundred and thirty.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
Million in bridge housing funds for drug addicts and mental
illness patience. I thought they were expanding those programs.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
Oh, I guess not. All right?
Speaker 8 (28:06):
More coming up, you're listening to John Cobels on demand
from KFI Am six forty.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
We've got two Randelum waistline coming up after three o'clock.

(28:40):
quite the crowd.
Speaker 9 (28:44):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
Wow, it's uh, it's Friday.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
None of you are supposed to be here.
Speaker 11 (28:51):
I was going to say, I don't know there was
this many people in the building.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
I did it either. None of you have been laid
off yet.
Speaker 11 (28:57):
But what's funny is everybody that's in this room right
now is usually people that are here on Friday, right.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
I know that's it. The rest of the building's emptakes.
Speaker 9 (29:03):
They just want cake, free food at the radio station,
and it only gets everybody to call it looks like
an Oreo cookies and cream cake, which is actually one
of my favorites because Oreos are my favorite cookie.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
Well, look at that.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
Somebody must have known that that's a good looking I'm
guessing Baallyo.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
So thank you Ballyo, Cheez and charge of Cakes. Thank
you everybody for singing. I appreciate it. I hate making
a big meal about My question to Eric was the
only question I have for you today.
Speaker 9 (29:26):
He started going over the over the rundown of the show,
I said, how high are you going to get this weekend?
Speaker 5 (29:32):
I want to know.
Speaker 11 (29:35):
That'll be enough. That'll be enough. There's gonna be plenty
of booze though to night at my party. I'll tell
you that we only need him sober for one more hour.
He can go do it, Go do what you want.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
Yeah, go run him up the rest of the week.
I don't care.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
All right, thank you, everybody, thank you, all right, congratulations,
thank you, thank you.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
John.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
All right, Eric Sklire there a happy birthday to him.
We were we were just talking with Vince Fong, who's
the Assembly Republican vice chair of the Budget Committee, about
Newsom's speech today and cal Matters, which is normally a
very sober website. It's the California News. They got a
(30:13):
writer named John Osborne Dagostino, and he is put together
a Newsom lingo bingo chart. You can play this if
you go to Calmatters dot org.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
You could. You could probably on YouTube, I.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
Guess, I guess. Do some gave a speech today on this.
I'm not sure, but you could. You could play this
endlessly at home. In fact, you want to celebrate Eric's birthday,
get drunk this afternoon and uh put out a Gavin
Newsom's speech and then play along with Newsom lingo bingo,
and it's set up like a Bingo card, but instead
(30:45):
of numbers, it's all that phony jargon, techno jargon that
he speaks in.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
And here's some of the examples.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
You you put a bingo chip down or put an
X down every time he uses a phrase life process
of engagement, Profligate writes regression. These are apparently common phrases
that he uses constantly. Deeply situational. Now do you know
anybody who uses a phrase like deeply situational? And that
(31:16):
that's what's funny about this. These phrases mostly are things
that no one else utters out loud. Nobody else even
writes these phrases reasonably cogent. Equity multiplier, equity multiplier, a construct.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
Of concern, foundational.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
Uh intentionality, the care economy, fundamental construct. Have you ever
heard anybody say fundamental construct out loud in a in
a casual conversation or even in a formal speech. Overly
prescriptive response, metric stretch, goal, revenue volatility. Anyway, let me see,
(32:04):
there's one, two, three, four, five, There's twenty five of these,
and then you have the freebe square in the middle,
and you can play this online. You listen to a
speech and then you click and you can reset and
listen to a second speech, and you can drink the
whole way. So this is this would be great at
your birthday party later. Have everybody play Newsom, Lingo, bingo,
and you could put a Newsome speech on the big screen.
Speaker 11 (32:28):
And I don't know how much fun that'll be At
a party.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
You can drunk enoup. Anything's fun. That's fair, all right,
we come back. Oh, what the hell, we've got more stuff.
We're not organized today. We're gonna start drinking early. Two
rounds of the moistline, that's for sure. Next hour, Debor
Mark's off Today we've got Ashley Johnson line the KFI
twenty four hour Newsroom. Hey, you've been listening to the
John Cobalt Show podcast. You can always hear the show
