Speaker 1 (00:00):
Can't. I am six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
You're listening to the John Cobel podcast on the iHeartRadio app. Welcome,
how are you? We are going to be on the
air from one to four every day, as you know,
and then after four o'clock you miss stuff, go to
the podcast, John Cobelt's show on demand, same as the
radio show, and that gets posted shortly after four o'clock
every Monday through Friday.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
Carl DeMaio is coming on in just seconds here.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Carl has been in politics then in San Diego for
many years and also an activist in the state of California.
And he's had a reform movement, an organization called Reform
California for quite a while and has been successful in
publicizing issues and getting propositions on the ballot and supporting
(00:51):
various candidates and proposals. And he decided to take the
next step and become an assemblyman, and he won his
election in the San Diego area to be in the
Assembly and he is going to be unveiling on his
first day in office, which is December second, the contract
to Reform California. He's the chairman of the organization Reform
(01:15):
California and this is a ten point agenda that has
a set of proposals to fix the state. You may
remember if you were around then the contract with America
that Nute Gingrich unveiled when he was Speaker of the
House back in nineteen ninety four during the Clinton era.
So let's get Carl Debaya on the air here.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
Thanks for having me on.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
How you doing.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Happy Thanksgiving?
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Well? Happy Thanksgiving to you?
Speaker 2 (01:40):
And you are taking forward action like nobody I have
seen here in California.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
I think the reason why we have a one party
supermajority in California is that we really have not had
a true, organized, principled and aggressive opposition party. And if
we want to fix California, we've got to start by
shaking up the Republican Party at California and demanding that
they do better. And I think the best way for
us to win back our state is to offer alternatives,
(02:11):
offer better solutions to the problems that Californians have been
expressing their concerns about. Take a look at Prop thirty six.
It passed in every single county, it got sixty nine
percent of the vote, and it's a conservative crime reduction
reform plan. I believe that we should take the Prop
thirty six model and go out with ten ten big,
(02:34):
bold ideas that respond to the concerns of Californians and
use that not only to improve their lives, but to
flip seats in the twenty twenty six election. And I
want to start early, and I want to be aggressive.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
You're absolutely right.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
I have not seen anybody in at least fifteen years,
or maybe twenty years, propose any ideas, any anything new.
I think in Schwarzenegger's first term when he ran for
the recall, he had uncreed ideas.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
For example, he was going to roll back the car tax.
I remember that was a big issue then, But since.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Then, I don't remember a single Republican saying anything of
any substance on any issue that a reason to vote
against the Democrats.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
Nope.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
The last time we had something exciting from the Republicans
was our gas tax repeal, and by the way, you
helped us with that, we got it qualified, we got
a terrible ballot title. They lied about what we were doing.
But the last time we really went on the offense
was in the gas tax repeal movement, and we broke
(03:36):
the supermajority that the Democrats had that year through the
recall of Josh Newman. I believe we can do it again.
That's why these ten points. I'm hoping Republicans will get
on board and help us recruit a governor's candidate, help
us recruit candidates for the other five statewide offices, and
then candidates up and down the state for state Senate,
state Assembly. Hey, we can even get the congressional candidates
(04:00):
involved in this in California in twenty twenty six. But
I think big, bold ideas and aggressive you know, posture
is what Californians are waiting for and hungry for, and
we need to fill the void.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Okay, I'm sure everybody at home now wants to hear
what these are about. So I'm going to go in
order the way you presented them. Let's start with number one,
the Cost of Living Reduction Act.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
Explain it, okay, So I say that the reason why
we have higher costs are not because of price gouging
by corporations. It's really politicians price gouging with regulations, taxes,
and mandates. So I want to start first with gas
and your electricity utilities. What we're going to do is
we're going to give every Californian middle class family twenty
(04:44):
five hundred dollars in a gas rebate and a utility
rebate at any time during the year when the cost
of those items are ten percent more than the national average.
We're also going to suspend all state taxes and fees
on gas and on electricity. That will reduce the price
of a gas of gallon a gallon of gas by
(05:06):
about a buck thirty per gallon, and it'll shave off
about twenty five percent of your utility costs. So I
believe that we ought to give immediate cost of living
relief and slash the regulations to drive down prices permanently,
all right.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Number two would be the Taxpayer Protection Act.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
We're going to ban any imposition of an exit tax,
a savings tax, or a mileage tax. We're going to
restore Prop thirteen to two thirds vote requirement. We're going
to require that any tax increase put on the ballot
has to have an honest ballot title that says tax increase,
and we're going to suspend any automatic increases in gas
or car taxes.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Number three is the Balanced Budget Accountability Act.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
We're going to cut five percent of all labor costs
across every single state government agency. And then we're going
to only allow labor costs to increase by the national
costs of labor increase, so that we don't have bloated
pensions and salaries from government. We're also going to require
two thirds vote on the budget, so Republicans will have
(06:09):
a say so on the budget and have a little
bit of leverage, all right.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Number four is Education Choice and Parental Empowerment Act.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Any school that does not pass proficiency standards automatically owes
the parents of the children in that school thirteen thousand
dollars a year in education vouchers so that parent can
take that child and put them in a school that
will work. If you want the voice of parents to
be heard, give them the money. It's the golden rule.
(06:41):
Money is what matters. The vouchers will be important.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Next to a really big here in Los Angeles, Homelessness
Reduction Act is number five.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
Well, we're going to ban any homeless camps near schools
and in public spaces at any time during the year
where we have shelter beds. We're going to end these
million dollars per unit condo projects and shift the money
to shelter beds. And finally, we're going to require mental
health subs abuse treatment and required daily workships for anyone
(07:15):
receiving welfare and free housing. I believe that that's the
most important thing we can do to reduce homelessness.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Number six is end Reckless Release of Criminals Act.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
That's right, and we need to start calling it reckless release.
That we need to brand that term reckless release because
that's what's going on in California. What we'll do is
end the early release of violent criminals under Prop. Fifty seven,
and we're going to prohibit the placement of sexual violent
predators in residential neighborhoods. My bill would require that they
be put in trailers at state prison parking lots instead
(07:50):
of being released into the communities.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Yes, and then you wouldn't have who's the guy being
released in Palmdale, the pillowcase rapist guy. They're all raked,
one hundred women on a dump them in. I think
Juniper Hills is the latest idea. All right, we have
number seven now, the California Secure Borders Act.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
Repeal the Sanctuary state law and taxpayer funded handouts to
ir llegal immigrants that incentivize the human trafficking and this
is I love this one. We're going to require standards
and triggers for the governor to be mandated to deploy
the California National Guard to the border, and we're going
to provide cross deputization by local law enforcement in federal
(08:35):
immigration and border security roles.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Number eight is the Voter ID and Election Integrity Act.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Just as it sounds like we're going to require voter
ID citizenship verification on the voter rolls, we're going to
audit the voter list to make sure that they're properly maintained.
And any county that doesn't count their ballots within seven
days after the election loses the ability to do automatic
mail in battle in the future election.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Can you believe what's going on with the county and
the ballots. I mean, there's a congressional race that borders
LA and Orange County. It's three weeks now and they
still don't have a winner, the Michelle Steele race against
Derek Tran.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
It's this is why, this is why people lose confidence
in the democracy, and we can't have that happening. The
ballots need to be counted on time, no more delays.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Number nine out of the ten Punish Unconstitutional Actions Act.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
What's this? Okay?
Speaker 3 (09:31):
I really like this one, and I like them all,
but this one in particular. You know that Gavin Newsom
and state legislators constantly impose laws and mandates that are
later to be found on constitutional whether it's the COVID
mandates or worse. They go after the Second Amendment rights,
the First Amendment rights. They just threatened Elon Musk with
this if you post social media funny means you can
(09:54):
go to prison. Well, all of those laws were overturned.
And so what I'm saying is any time a law
is overturned for being against our civil rights, our constitutional rights,
the governor will forfeit twenty five percent of his pay,
and any legislator who voted for that law will also
forfeit forfeit twenty five percent of their pay for each
(10:15):
and every act. And so very soon these guys, with
their bad actions, they're going to be working for free.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Yeah. I love that one, all right. Number ten Final
Cut the Politicians Perks Act.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
We're going to ban all gifts. We're going to ban
lobbying for life by politicians. We're going to force the
state politicians to comply with all the laws they impose
on the citizens. No more special exemptions for legislators. And finally,
we're going to eliminate the lavish government pensions that the
politicians in the state of California receive.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
Yeah, this is a great package.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
And every Republican running for office should or in office
right now, should talk about this every day, one aspect
or another that I don't know how anybody normal would
disagree with this, whether the Republican or Democrat, any any
private voter. I don't know why you wouldn't want any
one of these things to be put into law.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
And what we need to do.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
What we need to do is we've got to spread
the word and kind of put the pressure on the system.
And so I know that laying this out, the Democrats
aren't going to go for it. A lot of Republicans
aren't going to go for it because some of them
are little swampy. So what I need to do is
recruit candidates across the state and help them, you know,
adopt this agenda and run them for office in twenty
(11:37):
twenty six. But we're also going to have to collect
signatures and put some of these items on the ballot.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
Some of these were great propositions and they would pass
in the same manner pass at Prop thirty six pass.
Very good, Carl. We'll be talking a lot about this
over the next two years. Thank you for coming on.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
Appreciate it. If people want to help out, they can
go to Reform California dot org, share the agenda and
ship in a contribution.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Okay, I'm going to save this list.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
We'll be talking about it quite a bit, all right,
Carl Demyo from Reform California now an assemblyman in the
state legislature, or he will be. On December second.
Speaker 4 (12:11):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
They have caught an eco terrorist that's been on the
FBI Most Wanted list for the last twenty years, an
animal rights activist. Wait till you hear this guy's story.
I know you've mentioned this in the news.
Speaker 5 (12:30):
Yes I have.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
I've got all the details. Though, you may not be
happy with this guy because he's he represents your.
Speaker 5 (12:39):
I'm not an extreme, you're removement. He is an extremist.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Is an extreme, You're on the edge, I'm not.
Speaker 5 (12:46):
Oh my gosh. If I'm on the.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
Edge, you're wobbling. Go back to Carl Demayo, because I
really want to highlight this.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
He is right. First of all. Carl Demayo. You should
know him by now if you're a regular listener.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
He been a politician in San Diego, and then he
founded the Reform California movement, and as he talked about,
that was behind the repeal of the gas tax, which
we fell short of because of the lying title in
summary on that particular proposition. But he has been fighting
all kinds of bad laws, promoting candidates, trying to change things.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
And one thing is, you know, I'm always blood here.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Most of the Republicans in this state have done nothing
for the last fifteen years or so. I mean nothing
most of them. I won't say every one of them,
but really it's just a handful who actually will speak
out loud and say this is ridiculous, this is stupid.
(13:46):
Most of them seem to go along to get along.
And none of them ran on an agenda. There was
no organized a jedda saying hey, if you give us
the power for just one term, give us two years, here's.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
What we'll do.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
I mean, I understand why people don't vote for the
Republicans here because most of them never come up with
a coherent seat of issues. We know what the Democrats
are for, and we've seen the condition of the state.
And I think there are a lot more votes to
get because based on Prop thirty six, that one with
(14:24):
sixty nine percent of the vote, based on George Gascon
getting kicked out by a sixty to forty margin, Based on.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
The DA in Oakland.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Getting recalled, the DA in San Francisco getting recalled, the
mayor of Oakland getting recalled, what was the Proposition five
that would have increased our property taxes?
Speaker 1 (14:45):
That lost, Trump.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Gaining another six points on his vote totals as well.
And you know, then the next day we got to
hear that, well, the main focus of the news of
administration is going to be fighting Trump.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
It's like, no, the main newsome.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
The main focus ought to be stopping all the ridiculous
crime in the state, you know, getting rid of all
the homelessness for once and for all. Lowering the freaking
price of gas instead it's going to go up ninety cents,
lowering the taxes. You got a lot to do. We
got we've got so much poverty in the state, the
(15:23):
economy is terrible, the job market is terrible. Well, yesterday's
fact we had, do you know, ninety six percent of
the jobs created in the last two years in California
were government jobs. Government jobs were ninety six percent of
the total job creation in this state, ninety six percent.
(15:46):
Only fifty four hundred jobs were created in the private sector.
We got very close to the highest unemployment rate in
the country. We've got one of the highest inflation rates here.
You know, inflation and can be localized. So this has
got to change. But there has been no organized opposition
with something coherent.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
So car DeMaio has these ten points, and if you.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Go to reform California dot org, you could read them
yourself and really really go and do that, reform California
dot org. And because Carl went through the list, there's
ten of them. And the thing is, when I first
heard Carl was coming on and there's a list of ten,
I'm thinking, all right, is that going to be boring
going through ten?
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Maybe we should just highlight two or three.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
And then I'm reading them and it's like, oh, I
like that, I like that, Oh we got to have that.
By time I got through all ten, it's like we
got to talk about all ten here. All ten are
not just needed, they're desperately needed. But you need Republican
or sane Democrats in office to campaign on this and
then vote on this, and it can be done. And
(16:55):
you know, the titles are mostly self explanatory. But the
Cost of Living Reduction Act suspending all state taxes and
fees on gases and utilities and you know, if they're
ten percent higher than the average, until you get rid
of the state policies that are driving up the cost
(17:15):
because I told you we got the highest gas prices
in the nation by far, the highest electricity prices in
the nation by far, and it's almost entirely self imposed.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
It's Newsome's government in the legislature.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
And then the Taxpayer Protection Act, so they cannot passing
mileage tax or an exit tax if you move out
of the state, or a wealth tax if they think
you have too much money socked away. No more increased
car and gas taxes, and Homelessness Reduction Act, the Reckless
Release of Criminals Act.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
Some of this rolls back.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
The nonsense of the last ten years of reform. I mean,
this is all good stuff, and we are going to
talk a lot at this because there's got to be
a counter movement once and for all, and it can't
just be talking people complaining. That actually has to be action.
And Carl Demio has taken the first step. And you
know what he said is, you know, some Republicans are
just they enjoy feeding from the troth and they go along,
(18:14):
get along guys, and the guys who are the resistance
in the Republican Party, they are going to be outed,
we are going to publicize them, and they need to
be replaced.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
I can't stand those guys. They're worse.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
They make me angrier because at least the Democrats, Hey,
this is what they believe in, and they get up
every morning and they push their agenda. They do what
they want to do. They do what they think their
voters want to do. A lot of the Republicans don't
really care. Yeah, they just they got name recognition, they're
in a safe district, so they just roll along and
they really don't do any of the hard work to
(18:48):
change the way we're living. All right, when we come back,
the common eco terrorist, he's been captured. The FBI has
been chasing him for over twenty years. He had committed
these terrible crimes as part of these animal rights movements.
(19:08):
We're talking about bombings. He had quite a career over
twenty years on the FBI Most Wanted Terrorist list.
Speaker 4 (19:17):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM six.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
Forty after four o'clock.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
If you missed the show, what you go to John
Cobelt Show on demand on the iHeart app. That's the
podcast version of the radio show. Many many thousands of
people do that every day, so you could listen, you know, later,
this afternoon, tonight, the holiday weekend, whenever you want. All right,
So there's one less terrorist running free now, this one
(19:49):
out of California. So of course it's an eco terrorist.
He's got a confusing name, Daniel Andreas san Diego.
Speaker 5 (20:00):
But he's not from San Diego.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
He's not from San Diego. I was reading this and
I was getting confused because there's a line here in
this story san Diego originally from Berkeley.
Speaker 6 (20:11):
I got confused without too for a half a second.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Okay, so I'm gonna call him Daniel, otherwise everyone listening
is going to get confused. He started as an eco
terrorist in the early two thousands. He lived just outside
of Sonoma in the town of Shellville, and then he
started joining these terrorist groups, well, animal rights groups, excuse me,
(20:34):
stop Huntington, Stop Huntington, animal cruelty, and the Animal Liberation Brigade.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
Which organization you belong to?
Speaker 5 (20:44):
I don't belong to any.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
You don't belong to?
Speaker 5 (20:47):
I do not.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
His first bombings were in Emeryville August twenty eighth, two
thousand and three, targeting the Shyn Corporation. There was some
property damage, not much, and then a second bomb went
off and that was timed to try to hit the
first responders, so the first bomb would get the rescuers
(21:09):
to come, and then the second bomb was supposed to
take them out. Then he set off another bomb at
Shackley Corporation in Pleasanton, again in property damage, but the
FBI had enough. He was on twenty four hour watch
and Daniel found he was under FBI surveillance and lost
(21:29):
them in San Francisco, disappeared and he hasn't been seen
since he was indicted in four In two thousand and nine.
He was the first domestic terrorist ever added to the
FBI's most wanted list and the only sightings have been
out of the country. Well, I should take that back.
(21:50):
First in Canada, then they thought they saw him in
Massachusetts and Hawaii, and then he ended up in Wales
and that's where they arrested him. Twenty one years on
the run. He was arrested in the Conway area of Wales,
and now he's going to get extradited to la.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
Now he.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Eventually. This is the FBI's wanted poster. How he was described.
He's known to follow a vegan diet.
Speaker 6 (22:24):
Okay, okay, there's lots of people that aren't terrorists that
are vegan.
Speaker 5 (22:27):
But I'm just gonna.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
Say I noticed this.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
This turns up though frequently in the when we do
stories about I don't recall raised criminals.
Speaker 5 (22:35):
No, I don't know very many of them that are vegan.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
He's known to follow a vegan diet.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
When you know, get all your nutrients, it does something
to the brain, makes you makes you aggressive.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
Look, I'm mad.
Speaker 6 (22:47):
You're getting now I am because you're saying, you're saying
something false and accusatory.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
Well, he is following a vegan diet. That was true.
He eats no meat or any food containing animal products.
And you know, he was a computer network specialist and
he's skilled its sailing. He's probably been traveling around the
world on a boat. And he does have a handgun. Say, okay,
(23:14):
he has a handgun, what's your point? And he's hungry
all the time because he's a vegan.
Speaker 5 (23:18):
I'm not hungry all the time.
Speaker 6 (23:19):
I eat lots of lots of food, and I am satiated.
There you are with what my my vegan satiating you?
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Anyway? That guy, that guy's been taken out of circuit.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Can I can I just say I figured there was
an editorial guy there is.
Speaker 6 (23:38):
Yes, I'm vegan, and yes I am all for animal rights,
but I'm not for I'm just gonna throw.
Speaker 5 (23:46):
This out there.
Speaker 6 (23:46):
It might surprise you, but I'm not for violin okay,
when it comes to protecting animals, unless unless there are
some people that abuse animals, and then I think that
the dog, for instance, if somebody abuses a dog, let
the dog bite that person.
Speaker 5 (24:00):
I'm okay with that.
Speaker 6 (24:00):
But I'm not about blowing buildings up and doing anything
like that. Therefore, I'm not an extremist.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
Yeah well, yeah, but yeah, we got we're getting fan
letters now from Pete.
Speaker 6 (24:12):
Okay, because they liked the story that we did about
the butterball turkey right that they they thought that, and
they also agreed with me that just because it happened
a long time ago, and that allegedly things got cleaned up,
that there aren't other turkey places that are not abusing animals.
Speaker 5 (24:32):
In fact, they also talked about.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
The world's perfect people eat everything, you know, you don't
need to abuse turkeys.
Speaker 6 (24:39):
And I could go and read what they wrote, what
Peter wrote about what happens to some turkeys.
Speaker 5 (24:45):
But I don't want to upset people.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
You would upset people. And then yeah, they all they
want they don't want. They just want to eat dinner,
that's all.
Speaker 5 (24:51):
Yeah, but they don't.
Speaker 6 (24:52):
Okay, let me ask you this, what kind of people
you think are hired to tear apart in turkeys?
Speaker 4 (24:57):
All right?
Speaker 5 (24:58):
I thought about that.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
Not getting hard graduates, I get.
Speaker 6 (25:01):
It, But why do you have to abuse an animal?
And if you knew a turkey that's going to be
on your table tomorrow was physically abused and killed inhumanly, Eric,
you don't even say anything.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
I was gonna say it was tenderized.
Speaker 6 (25:15):
Come on, guys, seriously, if you found out that the
turkey before it, before it was killed, it was abused you,
you'd be happy.
Speaker 5 (25:23):
You would be eating it.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
Happily after I took it out of an oven where
he makes no difference to me.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
How do you How hot do you cook a turkey
in an oven? What is that?
Speaker 2 (25:31):
Probably like four hundred degrees? I was gonnay at least
four hundred, yeah, four hundred. So I mean he's already
had a bad day.
Speaker 6 (25:39):
Maybe it was humanely euthanized, and then when it's dead,
it doesn't know that it's being cooked. I'm talking about
what happens to turkeys before there.
Speaker 5 (25:48):
I coot an o.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
If you're very sensitive, and that's that's admirable.
Speaker 5 (25:52):
Well, I can't. I can't.
Speaker 6 (25:54):
I can't stand people abusing harmless.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Getting even angrier I am, and I'm not hungry.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
Next thing, you know, she's on the most wanted list.
All right, more coming up.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
All the LA politicians who criticize Trump and are resisting
Trump and denouncing Trump passing resolutions. They want three billion
dollars from Trump for all their stupid Olympic transportation projects.
We'll get into those details next. Their Olympic transportation projects.
You know what they should have had the three billion
dollars saved before they went after the Olympics. Now they
(26:30):
want the other states, other taxpayers to pay for this.
Talk about that coming up, Deborah Mark, Are you calm then.
Speaker 5 (26:38):
I'm breathing. I'm not yelling. I'm not going to water
and yelling. I'm just doing deep breaths.
Speaker 4 (26:45):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI A
six forty.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
We're on the air every day from one until four
at John Cobelt Radio. Is how you can follow us
on social media? Well this is rich.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
You have.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
The mayor of Los Angeles and the LA County Supervisors,
and you know most of them, if not all of them,
would spend all day and night denouncing Donald Trump passing resolutions.
They want to be part of the resistance. I would
love boy. Maybe I should spend some time this weekend
and look at all the negative comments that this crowd
(27:27):
has made against Trump, and now they're going to be
asking him for over three billion dollars to pay for
their Olympic transportation projects. Silly Eric Garcetti, who is last
seen in India doing all those stupid dance moves.
Speaker 5 (27:46):
Have you been practicing those moves?
Speaker 1 (27:48):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (27:49):
Stop it, don't remind me Okay, just don't remind me.
I want to spend the weekend in peace. Force me
into those dance moves during the PASTA thought. Anyway, they're
asking him for three billion dollars now now they so
(28:09):
they bid for the Olympics, and then Karen Bass announced
that this is gonna be a car free Olympics, that
we're going to be able to have all the fans
get to the Olympics sites and they're going to be
spread all over the county and they're gonna be able
to get there and nobody has to drive a car.
And everybody said, what huh, how's that going to work? Well,
(28:31):
she's going to go to Donald Trump and get three
billion dollars out of him. Oh wow, I want to
be at that meeting. Well that'll go over well. This
this is They sent the letter to him asking Trump
to set aside funds in the next twenty twenty six
federal budget because the twenty twenty five budget has already
(28:54):
begun on October first, and the letter says, with ten
to fifteen million ticket holders projected, these games will be
the largest sporting event held in our nation's history. Well,
maybe you should have gotten funding before you bid on
the event. Who does this? Who decides to set up
an event that's going to attract fifteen million people and
then say, oh, we don't have we don't have the
(29:15):
trains and buses to get there. We want to deliver
a safe, secure, efficient and accessible mobility system, a mobility system.
Now they couldn't get this money out of out of
the Biden administration. This is I guess Metro has a
(29:36):
big part in this. And the Trump team hasn't even responded,
And the La Times called up the Trump transition team.
Nobody responded to The Times either. Now meantime, you have
Newsome who has sworn pretty much that he's going to
spend every waking moment over the next two years Trump
(30:00):
at every turn. Well, if if you think he's a
I wonder if you thought I think he's a fascist
and a Nazi, you think he's going to give you.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
Three billion dollars?
Speaker 2 (30:12):
And when did they They applied for these Olympics quite
a while ago, because Paris beat them out for twenty
twenty four, So I would I think that they probably
Garcetti was still Mayor's probably three years ago, four years ago,
because usually right at the end of the old Olympics.
They bid for the new Olympics, and LA wanted twenty
(30:34):
twenty four, but they gave it to Paris instead and
gave gave LA.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
Twenty twenty eight.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
Janis Hahn, whose intellect is not to be confused with
Elon Musks, She goes, this isn't just.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
The LA Olympics, it's our entire nation's Olympics.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
I would think that President elect Trump would want to
make sure they're success and reflect well on our country.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
He didn't put the bid on you, dead, you pay
for it.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
Imagine she's asking taxpayers in all the other states to
pay for this boondoggle because they want a car free
green Olympics. Metro transit planners have been hoping to use
(31:28):
the Olympics to accomplish a long wish list of projects.
Bus lanes across Venice Boulevard and miles of bus lanes,
forty bike sharing stations in South LA. People going into
the Olympics are not going to be biking out of
South La.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
Stop it.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
They want to create mobility hubs with Wi Fi and
concessions where shuttles can take fans to venues. Boy, this
is a lot they want to build in about five years.
The most expensive is a two billion dollar request to
buy twenty seven hundred buses. That's twice as many buses
(32:12):
as Metro currently has. They have ten expensive projects, and
they have seven billion dollars set aside a private organizing committee,
but it's not going to cover Metro's costs to increase
public transit. So they were hoping the Olympics would be
(32:35):
excuse to get financing to build out the transit system
that they can't afford to build out on their own right,
and then we would keep the new transit system right,
they'd build it out, and then we'd have it past
the Olympics. And this was their clever way of expanding
the system without having to pay for it themselves. One
(33:00):
one writer, John Rennie Short, who's written a book on
hosting the Olympic Games, it's going to be an extremely
hard sell. It's California and Los Angeles not a strump,
a Trump stronghold. Well it's not only that there are
you know that he loses California. I think it was like,
I don't know, almost sixty forty. But all the Democratic
(33:22):
politicians insult him, denounce him, promise to fight him in court.
Over every single issue, and then it's like, oh, well, hey,
could you give us three billion?
Speaker 1 (33:36):
These people are idiots.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
Instead of Newsom declaring war on Trump, he might want
to get along with Trump. Same thing with all the
idiot councilor well, yeah, the council people too, but the
supervisors Lindsey Horvath, Hilda Salase, what's the other other nuts name? No,
Nithi Roman City Council. Oh, it doesn't matter. They're ridiculous.
(34:05):
I hope he doesn't give him the money. Now what
are you going to do? Oh well, well, now we're
not going to have bike lanes, all right? Uh we
come back. Oh, I know what I want to talk about.
There's another La County thing, Holly Mitchell. That's the other
(34:27):
idiot supervisor. The supervisors in the news for something else
in their war on Trump. They want to spend millions
of dollars for illegal aliens and transgender residents. And it
looks like there's new sexual categories that I never heard
of before. This is exciting. We'll talk about that coming up.
(34:50):
This is what they do. They spent three years not
putting aside money for the Olympics, but they have millions
of dollars for illegal aliens and transgender residents. I don't
know how you spend millions. There aren't that many, all right,
Debra Mark Live the KFI twenty four hour Newsroom. Hey,
you've been listening to The John Cobalt Show podcast. You
can always hear the show live on KFI Am six
(35:11):
forty from one to four pm every Monday through Friday,
and of course, anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app
Can't. I am six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
You're listening to the John Cobel podcast on the iHeartRadio app. Welcome,
how are you? We are going to be on the
air from one to four every day, as you know,
and then after four o'clock you miss stuff, go to
the podcast, John Cobelt's show on demand, same as the
radio show, and that gets posted shortly after four o'clock
every Monday through Friday.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
Carl DeMaio is coming on in just seconds here.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Carl has been in politics then in San Diego for
many years and also an activist in the state of California.
And he's had a reform movement, an organization called Reform
California for quite a while and has been successful in
publicizing issues and getting propositions on the ballot and supporting
(00:51):
various candidates and proposals. And he decided to take the
next step and become an assemblyman, and he won his
election in the San Diego area to be in the
Assembly and he is going to be unveiling on his
first day in office, which is December second, the contract
to Reform California. He's the chairman of the organization Reform
(01:15):
California and this is a ten point agenda that has
a set of proposals to fix the state. You may
remember if you were around then the contract with America
that Nute Gingrich unveiled when he was Speaker of the
House back in nineteen ninety four during the Clinton era.
So let's get Carl Debaya on the air here.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
Thanks for having me on.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
How you doing.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Happy Thanksgiving?
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Well? Happy Thanksgiving to you?
Speaker 2 (01:40):
And you are taking forward action like nobody I have
seen here in California.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
I think the reason why we have a one party
supermajority in California is that we really have not had
a true, organized, principled and aggressive opposition party. And if
we want to fix California, we've got to start by
shaking up the Republican Party at California and demanding that
they do better. And I think the best way for
us to win back our state is to offer alternatives,
(02:11):
offer better solutions to the problems that Californians have been
expressing their concerns about. Take a look at Prop thirty six.
It passed in every single county, it got sixty nine
percent of the vote, and it's a conservative crime reduction
reform plan. I believe that we should take the Prop
thirty six model and go out with ten ten big,
(02:34):
bold ideas that respond to the concerns of Californians and
use that not only to improve their lives, but to
flip seats in the twenty twenty six election. And I
want to start early, and I want to be aggressive.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
You're absolutely right.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
I have not seen anybody in at least fifteen years,
or maybe twenty years, propose any ideas, any anything new.
I think in Schwarzenegger's first term when he ran for
the recall, he had uncreed ideas.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
For example, he was going to roll back the car tax.
I remember that was a big issue then, But since.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Then, I don't remember a single Republican saying anything of
any substance on any issue that a reason to vote
against the Democrats.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
Nope.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
The last time we had something exciting from the Republicans
was our gas tax repeal, and by the way, you
helped us with that, we got it qualified, we got
a terrible ballot title. They lied about what we were doing.
But the last time we really went on the offense
was in the gas tax repeal movement, and we broke
(03:36):
the supermajority that the Democrats had that year through the
recall of Josh Newman. I believe we can do it again.
That's why these ten points. I'm hoping Republicans will get
on board and help us recruit a governor's candidate, help
us recruit candidates for the other five statewide offices, and
then candidates up and down the state for state Senate,
state Assembly. Hey, we can even get the congressional candidates
(04:00):
involved in this in California in twenty twenty six. But
I think big, bold ideas and aggressive you know, posture
is what Californians are waiting for and hungry for, and
we need to fill the void.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Okay, I'm sure everybody at home now wants to hear
what these are about. So I'm going to go in
order the way you presented them. Let's start with number one,
the Cost of Living Reduction Act.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
Explain it, okay, So I say that the reason why
we have higher costs are not because of price gouging
by corporations. It's really politicians price gouging with regulations, taxes,
and mandates. So I want to start first with gas
and your electricity utilities. What we're going to do is
we're going to give every Californian middle class family twenty
(04:44):
five hundred dollars in a gas rebate and a utility
rebate at any time during the year when the cost
of those items are ten percent more than the national average.
We're also going to suspend all state taxes and fees
on gas and on electricity. That will reduce the price
of a gas of gallon a gallon of gas by
(05:06):
about a buck thirty per gallon, and it'll shave off
about twenty five percent of your utility costs. So I
believe that we ought to give immediate cost of living
relief and slash the regulations to drive down prices permanently,
all right.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Number two would be the Taxpayer Protection Act.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
We're going to ban any imposition of an exit tax,
a savings tax, or a mileage tax. We're going to
restore Prop thirteen to two thirds vote requirement. We're going
to require that any tax increase put on the ballot
has to have an honest ballot title that says tax increase,
and we're going to suspend any automatic increases in gas
or car taxes.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Number three is the Balanced Budget Accountability Act.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
We're going to cut five percent of all labor costs
across every single state government agency. And then we're going
to only allow labor costs to increase by the national
costs of labor increase, so that we don't have bloated
pensions and salaries from government. We're also going to require
two thirds vote on the budget, so Republicans will have
(06:09):
a say so on the budget and have a little
bit of leverage, all right.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Number four is Education Choice and Parental Empowerment Act.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Any school that does not pass proficiency standards automatically owes
the parents of the children in that school thirteen thousand
dollars a year in education vouchers so that parent can
take that child and put them in a school that
will work. If you want the voice of parents to
be heard, give them the money. It's the golden rule.
(06:41):
Money is what matters. The vouchers will be important.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Next to a really big here in Los Angeles, Homelessness
Reduction Act is number five.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
Well, we're going to ban any homeless camps near schools
and in public spaces at any time during the year
where we have shelter beds. We're going to end these
million dollars per unit condo projects and shift the money
to shelter beds. And finally, we're going to require mental
health subs abuse treatment and required daily workships for anyone
(07:15):
receiving welfare and free housing. I believe that that's the
most important thing we can do to reduce homelessness.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Number six is end Reckless Release of Criminals Act.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
That's right, and we need to start calling it reckless release.
That we need to brand that term reckless release because
that's what's going on in California. What we'll do is
end the early release of violent criminals under Prop. Fifty seven,
and we're going to prohibit the placement of sexual violent
predators in residential neighborhoods. My bill would require that they
be put in trailers at state prison parking lots instead
(07:50):
of being released into the communities.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Yes, and then you wouldn't have who's the guy being
released in Palmdale, the pillowcase rapist guy. They're all raked,
one hundred women on a dump them in. I think
Juniper Hills is the latest idea. All right, we have
number seven now, the California Secure Borders Act.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
Repeal the Sanctuary state law and taxpayer funded handouts to
ir llegal immigrants that incentivize the human trafficking and this
is I love this one. We're going to require standards
and triggers for the governor to be mandated to deploy
the California National Guard to the border, and we're going
to provide cross deputization by local law enforcement in federal
(08:35):
immigration and border security roles.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Number eight is the Voter ID and Election Integrity Act.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Just as it sounds like we're going to require voter
ID citizenship verification on the voter rolls, we're going to
audit the voter list to make sure that they're properly maintained.
And any county that doesn't count their ballots within seven
days after the election loses the ability to do automatic
mail in battle in the future election.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Can you believe what's going on with the county and
the ballots. I mean, there's a congressional race that borders
LA and Orange County. It's three weeks now and they
still don't have a winner, the Michelle Steele race against
Derek Tran.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
It's this is why, this is why people lose confidence
in the democracy, and we can't have that happening. The
ballots need to be counted on time, no more delays.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Number nine out of the ten Punish Unconstitutional Actions Act.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
What's this? Okay?
Speaker 3 (09:31):
I really like this one, and I like them all,
but this one in particular. You know that Gavin Newsom
and state legislators constantly impose laws and mandates that are
later to be found on constitutional whether it's the COVID
mandates or worse. They go after the Second Amendment rights,
the First Amendment rights. They just threatened Elon Musk with
this if you post social media funny means you can
(09:54):
go to prison. Well, all of those laws were overturned.
And so what I'm saying is any time a law
is overturned for being against our civil rights, our constitutional rights,
the governor will forfeit twenty five percent of his pay,
and any legislator who voted for that law will also
forfeit forfeit twenty five percent of their pay for each
(10:15):
and every act. And so very soon these guys, with
their bad actions, they're going to be working for free.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Yeah. I love that one, all right. Number ten Final
Cut the Politicians Perks Act.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
We're going to ban all gifts. We're going to ban
lobbying for life by politicians. We're going to force the
state politicians to comply with all the laws they impose
on the citizens. No more special exemptions for legislators. And finally,
we're going to eliminate the lavish government pensions that the
politicians in the state of California receive.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
Yeah, this is a great package.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
And every Republican running for office should or in office
right now, should talk about this every day, one aspect
or another that I don't know how anybody normal would
disagree with this, whether the Republican or Democrat, any any
private voter. I don't know why you wouldn't want any
one of these things to be put into law.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
And what we need to do.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
What we need to do is we've got to spread
the word and kind of put the pressure on the system.
And so I know that laying this out, the Democrats
aren't going to go for it. A lot of Republicans
aren't going to go for it because some of them
are little swampy. So what I need to do is
recruit candidates across the state and help them, you know,
adopt this agenda and run them for office in twenty
(11:37):
twenty six. But we're also going to have to collect
signatures and put some of these items on the ballot.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
Some of these were great propositions and they would pass
in the same manner pass at Prop thirty six pass.
Very good, Carl. We'll be talking a lot about this
over the next two years. Thank you for coming on.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
Appreciate it. If people want to help out, they can
go to Reform California dot org, share the agenda and
ship in a contribution.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Okay, I'm going to save this list.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
We'll be talking about it quite a bit, all right,
Carl Demyo from Reform California now an assemblyman in the
state legislature, or he will be. On December second.
Speaker 4 (12:11):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
They have caught an eco terrorist that's been on the
FBI Most Wanted list for the last twenty years, an
animal rights activist. Wait till you hear this guy's story.
I know you've mentioned this in the news.
Speaker 5 (12:30):
Yes I have.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
I've got all the details. Though, you may not be
happy with this guy because he's he represents your.
Speaker 5 (12:39):
I'm not an extreme, you're removement. He is an extremist.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Is an extreme, You're on the edge, I'm not.
Speaker 5 (12:46):
Oh my gosh. If I'm on the.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
Edge, you're wobbling. Go back to Carl Demayo, because I
really want to highlight this.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
He is right. First of all. Carl Demayo. You should
know him by now if you're a regular listener.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
He been a politician in San Diego, and then he
founded the Reform California movement, and as he talked about,
that was behind the repeal of the gas tax, which
we fell short of because of the lying title in
summary on that particular proposition. But he has been fighting
all kinds of bad laws, promoting candidates, trying to change things.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
And one thing is, you know, I'm always blood here.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Most of the Republicans in this state have done nothing
for the last fifteen years or so. I mean nothing
most of them. I won't say every one of them,
but really it's just a handful who actually will speak
out loud and say this is ridiculous, this is stupid.
(13:46):
Most of them seem to go along to get along.
And none of them ran on an agenda. There was
no organized a jedda saying hey, if you give us
the power for just one term, give us two years, here's.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
What we'll do.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
I mean, I understand why people don't vote for the
Republicans here because most of them never come up with
a coherent seat of issues. We know what the Democrats
are for, and we've seen the condition of the state.
And I think there are a lot more votes to
get because based on Prop thirty six, that one with
(14:24):
sixty nine percent of the vote, based on George Gascon
getting kicked out by a sixty to forty margin, Based on.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
The DA in Oakland.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Getting recalled, the DA in San Francisco getting recalled, the
mayor of Oakland getting recalled, what was the Proposition five
that would have increased our property taxes?
Speaker 1 (14:45):
That lost, Trump.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Gaining another six points on his vote totals as well.
And you know, then the next day we got to
hear that, well, the main focus of the news of
administration is going to be fighting Trump.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
It's like, no, the main newsome.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
The main focus ought to be stopping all the ridiculous
crime in the state, you know, getting rid of all
the homelessness for once and for all. Lowering the freaking
price of gas instead it's going to go up ninety cents,
lowering the taxes. You got a lot to do. We
got we've got so much poverty in the state, the
(15:23):
economy is terrible, the job market is terrible. Well, yesterday's
fact we had, do you know, ninety six percent of
the jobs created in the last two years in California
were government jobs. Government jobs were ninety six percent of
the total job creation in this state, ninety six percent.
(15:46):
Only fifty four hundred jobs were created in the private sector.
We got very close to the highest unemployment rate in
the country. We've got one of the highest inflation rates here.
You know, inflation and can be localized. So this has
got to change. But there has been no organized opposition
with something coherent.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
So car DeMaio has these ten points, and if you.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Go to reform California dot org, you could read them
yourself and really really go and do that, reform California
dot org. And because Carl went through the list, there's
ten of them. And the thing is, when I first
heard Carl was coming on and there's a list of ten,
I'm thinking, all right, is that going to be boring
going through ten?
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Maybe we should just highlight two or three.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
And then I'm reading them and it's like, oh, I
like that, I like that, Oh we got to have that.
By time I got through all ten, it's like we
got to talk about all ten here. All ten are
not just needed, they're desperately needed. But you need Republican
or sane Democrats in office to campaign on this and
then vote on this, and it can be done. And
(16:55):
you know, the titles are mostly self explanatory. But the
Cost of Living Reduction Act suspending all state taxes and
fees on gases and utilities and you know, if they're
ten percent higher than the average, until you get rid
of the state policies that are driving up the cost
(17:15):
because I told you we got the highest gas prices
in the nation by far, the highest electricity prices in
the nation by far, and it's almost entirely self imposed.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
It's Newsome's government in the legislature.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
And then the Taxpayer Protection Act, so they cannot passing
mileage tax or an exit tax if you move out
of the state, or a wealth tax if they think
you have too much money socked away. No more increased
car and gas taxes, and Homelessness Reduction Act, the Reckless
Release of Criminals Act.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
Some of this rolls back.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
The nonsense of the last ten years of reform. I mean,
this is all good stuff, and we are going to
talk a lot at this because there's got to be
a counter movement once and for all, and it can't
just be talking people complaining. That actually has to be action.
And Carl Demio has taken the first step. And you
know what he said is, you know, some Republicans are
just they enjoy feeding from the troth and they go along,
(18:14):
get along guys, and the guys who are the resistance
in the Republican Party, they are going to be outed,
we are going to publicize them, and they need to
be replaced.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
I can't stand those guys. They're worse.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
They make me angrier because at least the Democrats, Hey,
this is what they believe in, and they get up
every morning and they push their agenda. They do what
they want to do. They do what they think their
voters want to do. A lot of the Republicans don't
really care. Yeah, they just they got name recognition, they're
in a safe district, so they just roll along and
they really don't do any of the hard work to
(18:48):
change the way we're living. All right, when we come back,
the common eco terrorist, he's been captured. The FBI has
been chasing him for over twenty years. He had committed
these terrible crimes as part of these animal rights movements.
(19:08):
We're talking about bombings. He had quite a career over
twenty years on the FBI Most Wanted Terrorist list.
Speaker 4 (19:17):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM six.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
Forty after four o'clock.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
If you missed the show, what you go to John
Cobelt Show on demand on the iHeart app. That's the
podcast version of the radio show. Many many thousands of
people do that every day, so you could listen, you know, later,
this afternoon, tonight, the holiday weekend, whenever you want. All right,
So there's one less terrorist running free now, this one
(19:49):
out of California. So of course it's an eco terrorist.
He's got a confusing name, Daniel Andreas san Diego.
Speaker 5 (20:00):
But he's not from San Diego.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
He's not from San Diego. I was reading this and
I was getting confused because there's a line here in
this story san Diego originally from Berkeley.
Speaker 6 (20:11):
I got confused without too for a half a second.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Okay, so I'm gonna call him Daniel, otherwise everyone listening
is going to get confused. He started as an eco
terrorist in the early two thousands. He lived just outside
of Sonoma in the town of Shellville, and then he
started joining these terrorist groups, well, animal rights groups, excuse me,
(20:34):
stop Huntington, Stop Huntington, animal cruelty, and the Animal Liberation Brigade.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
Which organization you belong to?
Speaker 5 (20:44):
I don't belong to any.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
You don't belong to?
Speaker 5 (20:47):
I do not.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
His first bombings were in Emeryville August twenty eighth, two
thousand and three, targeting the Shyn Corporation. There was some
property damage, not much, and then a second bomb went
off and that was timed to try to hit the
first responders, so the first bomb would get the rescuers
(21:09):
to come, and then the second bomb was supposed to
take them out. Then he set off another bomb at
Shackley Corporation in Pleasanton, again in property damage, but the
FBI had enough. He was on twenty four hour watch
and Daniel found he was under FBI surveillance and lost
(21:29):
them in San Francisco, disappeared and he hasn't been seen
since he was indicted in four In two thousand and nine.
He was the first domestic terrorist ever added to the
FBI's most wanted list and the only sightings have been
out of the country. Well, I should take that back.
(21:50):
First in Canada, then they thought they saw him in
Massachusetts and Hawaii, and then he ended up in Wales
and that's where they arrested him. Twenty one years on
the run. He was arrested in the Conway area of Wales,
and now he's going to get extradited to la.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
Now he.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Eventually. This is the FBI's wanted poster. How he was described.
He's known to follow a vegan diet.
Speaker 6 (22:24):
Okay, okay, there's lots of people that aren't terrorists that
are vegan.
Speaker 5 (22:27):
But I'm just gonna.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
Say I noticed this.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
This turns up though frequently in the when we do
stories about I don't recall raised criminals.
Speaker 5 (22:35):
No, I don't know very many of them that are vegan.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
He's known to follow a vegan diet.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
When you know, get all your nutrients, it does something
to the brain, makes you makes you aggressive.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
Look, I'm mad.
Speaker 6 (22:47):
You're getting now I am because you're saying, you're saying
something false and accusatory.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
Well, he is following a vegan diet. That was true.
He eats no meat or any food containing animal products.
And you know, he was a computer network specialist and
he's skilled its sailing. He's probably been traveling around the
world on a boat. And he does have a handgun. Say, okay,
(23:14):
he has a handgun, what's your point? And he's hungry
all the time because he's a vegan.
Speaker 5 (23:18):
I'm not hungry all the time.
Speaker 6 (23:19):
I eat lots of lots of food, and I am satiated.
There you are with what my my vegan satiating you?
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Anyway? That guy, that guy's been taken out of circuit.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Can I can I just say I figured there was
an editorial guy there is.
Speaker 6 (23:38):
Yes, I'm vegan, and yes I am all for animal rights,
but I'm not for I'm just gonna throw.
Speaker 5 (23:46):
This out there.
Speaker 6 (23:46):
It might surprise you, but I'm not for violin okay,
when it comes to protecting animals, unless unless there are
some people that abuse animals, and then I think that
the dog, for instance, if somebody abuses a dog, let
the dog bite that person.
Speaker 5 (24:00):
I'm okay with that.
Speaker 6 (24:00):
But I'm not about blowing buildings up and doing anything
like that. Therefore, I'm not an extremist.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
Yeah well, yeah, but yeah, we got we're getting fan
letters now from Pete.
Speaker 6 (24:12):
Okay, because they liked the story that we did about
the butterball turkey right that they they thought that, and
they also agreed with me that just because it happened
a long time ago, and that allegedly things got cleaned up,
that there aren't other turkey places that are not abusing animals.
Speaker 5 (24:32):
In fact, they also talked about.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
The world's perfect people eat everything, you know, you don't
need to abuse turkeys.
Speaker 6 (24:39):
And I could go and read what they wrote, what
Peter wrote about what happens to some turkeys.
Speaker 5 (24:45):
But I don't want to upset people.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
You would upset people. And then yeah, they all they
want they don't want. They just want to eat dinner,
that's all.
Speaker 5 (24:51):
Yeah, but they don't.
Speaker 6 (24:52):
Okay, let me ask you this, what kind of people
you think are hired to tear apart in turkeys?
Speaker 4 (24:57):
All right?
Speaker 5 (24:58):
I thought about that.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
Not getting hard graduates, I get.
Speaker 6 (25:01):
It, But why do you have to abuse an animal?
And if you knew a turkey that's going to be
on your table tomorrow was physically abused and killed inhumanly, Eric,
you don't even say anything.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
I was gonna say it was tenderized.
Speaker 6 (25:15):
Come on, guys, seriously, if you found out that the
turkey before it, before it was killed, it was abused you,
you'd be happy.
Speaker 5 (25:23):
You would be eating it.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
Happily after I took it out of an oven where
he makes no difference to me.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
How do you How hot do you cook a turkey
in an oven? What is that?
Speaker 2 (25:31):
Probably like four hundred degrees? I was gonnay at least
four hundred, yeah, four hundred. So I mean he's already
had a bad day.
Speaker 6 (25:39):
Maybe it was humanely euthanized, and then when it's dead,
it doesn't know that it's being cooked. I'm talking about
what happens to turkeys before there.
Speaker 5 (25:48):
I coot an o.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
If you're very sensitive, and that's that's admirable.
Speaker 5 (25:52):
Well, I can't. I can't.
Speaker 6 (25:54):
I can't stand people abusing harmless.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Getting even angrier I am, and I'm not hungry.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
Next thing, you know, she's on the most wanted list.
All right, more coming up.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
All the LA politicians who criticize Trump and are resisting
Trump and denouncing Trump passing resolutions. They want three billion
dollars from Trump for all their stupid Olympic transportation projects.
We'll get into those details next. Their Olympic transportation projects.
You know what they should have had the three billion
dollars saved before they went after the Olympics. Now they
(26:30):
want the other states, other taxpayers to pay for this.
Talk about that coming up, Deborah Mark, Are you calm then.
Speaker 5 (26:38):
I'm breathing. I'm not yelling. I'm not going to water
and yelling. I'm just doing deep breaths.
Speaker 4 (26:45):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI A
six forty.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
We're on the air every day from one until four
at John Cobelt Radio. Is how you can follow us
on social media? Well this is rich.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
You have.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
The mayor of Los Angeles and the LA County Supervisors,
and you know most of them, if not all of them,
would spend all day and night denouncing Donald Trump passing resolutions.
They want to be part of the resistance. I would
love boy. Maybe I should spend some time this weekend
and look at all the negative comments that this crowd
(27:27):
has made against Trump, and now they're going to be
asking him for over three billion dollars to pay for
their Olympic transportation projects. Silly Eric Garcetti, who is last
seen in India doing all those stupid dance moves.
Speaker 5 (27:46):
Have you been practicing those moves?
Speaker 1 (27:48):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (27:49):
Stop it, don't remind me Okay, just don't remind me.
I want to spend the weekend in peace. Force me
into those dance moves during the PASTA thought. Anyway, they're
asking him for three billion dollars now now they so
(28:09):
they bid for the Olympics, and then Karen Bass announced
that this is gonna be a car free Olympics, that
we're going to be able to have all the fans
get to the Olympics sites and they're going to be
spread all over the county and they're gonna be able
to get there and nobody has to drive a car.
And everybody said, what huh, how's that going to work? Well,
(28:31):
she's going to go to Donald Trump and get three
billion dollars out of him. Oh wow, I want to
be at that meeting. Well that'll go over well. This
this is They sent the letter to him asking Trump
to set aside funds in the next twenty twenty six
federal budget because the twenty twenty five budget has already
(28:54):
begun on October first, and the letter says, with ten
to fifteen million ticket holders projected, these games will be
the largest sporting event held in our nation's history. Well,
maybe you should have gotten funding before you bid on
the event. Who does this? Who decides to set up
an event that's going to attract fifteen million people and
then say, oh, we don't have we don't have the
(29:15):
trains and buses to get there. We want to deliver
a safe, secure, efficient and accessible mobility system, a mobility system.
Now they couldn't get this money out of out of
the Biden administration. This is I guess Metro has a
(29:36):
big part in this. And the Trump team hasn't even responded,
And the La Times called up the Trump transition team.
Nobody responded to The Times either. Now meantime, you have
Newsome who has sworn pretty much that he's going to
spend every waking moment over the next two years Trump
(30:00):
at every turn. Well, if if you think he's a
I wonder if you thought I think he's a fascist
and a Nazi, you think he's going to give you.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
Three billion dollars?
Speaker 2 (30:12):
And when did they They applied for these Olympics quite
a while ago, because Paris beat them out for twenty
twenty four, So I would I think that they probably
Garcetti was still Mayor's probably three years ago, four years ago,
because usually right at the end of the old Olympics.
They bid for the new Olympics, and LA wanted twenty
(30:34):
twenty four, but they gave it to Paris instead and
gave gave LA.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
Twenty twenty eight.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
Janis Hahn, whose intellect is not to be confused with
Elon Musks, She goes, this isn't just.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
The LA Olympics, it's our entire nation's Olympics.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
I would think that President elect Trump would want to
make sure they're success and reflect well on our country.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
He didn't put the bid on you, dead, you pay
for it.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
Imagine she's asking taxpayers in all the other states to
pay for this boondoggle because they want a car free
green Olympics. Metro transit planners have been hoping to use
(31:28):
the Olympics to accomplish a long wish list of projects.
Bus lanes across Venice Boulevard and miles of bus lanes,
forty bike sharing stations in South LA. People going into
the Olympics are not going to be biking out of
South La.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
Stop it.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
They want to create mobility hubs with Wi Fi and
concessions where shuttles can take fans to venues. Boy, this
is a lot they want to build in about five years.
The most expensive is a two billion dollar request to
buy twenty seven hundred buses. That's twice as many buses
(32:12):
as Metro currently has. They have ten expensive projects, and
they have seven billion dollars set aside a private organizing committee,
but it's not going to cover Metro's costs to increase
public transit. So they were hoping the Olympics would be
(32:35):
excuse to get financing to build out the transit system
that they can't afford to build out on their own right,
and then we would keep the new transit system right,
they'd build it out, and then we'd have it past
the Olympics. And this was their clever way of expanding
the system without having to pay for it themselves. One
(33:00):
one writer, John Rennie Short, who's written a book on
hosting the Olympic Games, it's going to be an extremely
hard sell. It's California and Los Angeles not a strump,
a Trump stronghold. Well it's not only that there are
you know that he loses California. I think it was like,
I don't know, almost sixty forty. But all the Democratic
(33:22):
politicians insult him, denounce him, promise to fight him in court.
Over every single issue, and then it's like, oh, well, hey,
could you give us three billion?
Speaker 1 (33:36):
These people are idiots.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
Instead of Newsom declaring war on Trump, he might want
to get along with Trump. Same thing with all the
idiot councilor well, yeah, the council people too, but the
supervisors Lindsey Horvath, Hilda Salase, what's the other other nuts name? No,
Nithi Roman City Council. Oh, it doesn't matter. They're ridiculous.
(34:05):
I hope he doesn't give him the money. Now what
are you going to do? Oh well, well, now we're
not going to have bike lanes, all right? Uh we
come back. Oh, I know what I want to talk about.
There's another La County thing, Holly Mitchell. That's the other
(34:27):
idiot supervisor. The supervisors in the news for something else
in their war on Trump. They want to spend millions
of dollars for illegal aliens and transgender residents. And it
looks like there's new sexual categories that I never heard
of before. This is exciting. We'll talk about that coming up.
(34:50):
This is what they do. They spent three years not
putting aside money for the Olympics, but they have millions
of dollars for illegal aliens and transgender residents. I don't
know how you spend millions. There aren't that many, all right,
