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.
Speaker 1 (00:06):
How are you welcome? We are rolling.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
We're on every day from one until four o'clock and
then after four o'clock. If you miss something, you can
listen to us on the podcast John Cobelt Show on
demand on the iHeart app. And we're to start off
with something that was a big deal late last week
because you were going to have the state track and
(00:30):
Field championships, and the big controversy was Gavin Newsom was
all tied up in knots because a guy who claims
he's now a girl named ab Hernandez from Harupa Valley
was had won a sectional, a series of sectional competitions
(00:53):
in track and field and in the triple jump and
the high jump and was now going to go on
to the finals. Trump got involved and issued a proclamation
on his Truth social site saying, you know, if this
goes on, I'm pulling funding for California Athletics, all the
(01:14):
federal funding. And the Newsom is caught in a box
because he went on his id idiotic podcast.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
This is Gavin Newsom is the name? I think.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
This is an idiot, and he said it's deeply unfair
for men to compete in girls' sports, deeply unfair. But
Trump just said it was ordinarily unfair. But newsom deeply unfair.
But he did not He did not change this policy.
This policy, you may not know, this has been around
(01:49):
since twenty thirteen. Any guy in high school or college
can suddenly identify as a girl, and that's all you
have to do. You just say I identify as a girl.
You don't have to do the big chop. If you're
a guy. You don't have to follow through it anyway.
(02:09):
You don't have to prove it in any way. You
don't have to be on any kind of hormone regiment.
You have gone through puberty as a guy, and under
California law, after puberty or in the midst of puberty,
you can now compete in a high school girls sport
or a college women sport, in this case high school girls.
(02:32):
Now by the time you're sixteen years old, most guys
have gone through a fair amount of puberty. He would
go nowhere if he had to compete with other guys.
But he competes in girls races, not races, but events,
and he wins, he wins state titles. And that's what
(02:56):
happened over the weekend. He won the state title in
the girls triple jump. He won the state title in
the girl's high jump, and took second place in the
girl's lawn jump.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
He competes in the male events.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
He'd go nowhere, but because he says he's a girl. Now, okay,
here's the medal. Stand on the podium. Hey, here's the medal.
Here's another medal. How many medals do you want?
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (03:25):
They did this in Clovis. Now what I have to
do here is read to you how the La Times
covered him, Kevin Rector. They wrote about this as if
the guy ab Hernandez was an American folk hera. This
(03:45):
is Kevin Rector. Now remember, actual girls also competed, and
they under Newsom's compromise, they were awarded medals or trophies
as well. But the and we know the name of
(04:08):
the transgender ab Hernandez. But listen to this, Kevin Erector wrote,
Overcoming intense pressure to quit from President Trump, dozens of
local protesters and other prominent critics of transgender athletes and
girls sports, sixteen year old ab Hernandez bounded past many
(04:29):
of her peers to win multiple gold medals at California's
high school Track and Field Championship Saturday. They're not her peers,
They're not his peers. This, this is like, this is the problem.
(04:49):
That is a male body, that is a one hundred
percent male body. Ab Hernandez was not competing against peers.
Second paragraph, the transgender junior from Harupa Valley High School
who competed despite a directive from Trump that she'd be
barred from doing so. Once state titles in the girl's
(05:11):
triple jump, in the girl's high jump, it took second
place in the girl's long jump. Just listing all those accomplishments,
that doesn't tell you that this is wrong, this is unfair.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Her Nand is a success at.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
The twenty twenty five CIF State Track and Field Championships
in Clovis. Came amid high heat, with temperatures above one
hundred degrees for much of the day and under an
intense spotlight. And it goes through all the things Trump
says and what the protesters were doing. And despite all that,
hernand has appeared calm and focused as she competed. Her
(05:45):
Nand has beat out all other competitors, though the runner
up was also awarded first place under new rules established
by the CIF. What I noticed in this is the
girls who actually won the championships, their names are not
mentioned in this first page. I'm looking at seven paragraphs
(06:10):
the first page, no mention of their names. It didn't
lead off. They were an asterisk, they were oh well yeah,
Newsom said that they could win two.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
But they're not really the winners.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
So it's gonna be Ab Hernandez, transgender track athlete. In
the headline, she overcame intense pressure, she was calm and focused.
Wave to the girl, all about ab Hernandez, Well, what
that's a ele of an advantage if you were born
a guy, that's an incredible physiological advantage, and then quote
(06:55):
her mother, Nobridia Hernandez, heaped praise on her after the events.
I cannot fully express how proud I am of you
watching you ride by rise above. Months of being targeted,
misunderstood and judge. Those girls were robbed of their moment.
They're not seeing their names in the La Times today.
(07:17):
In fact, the La Times would not have even covered this.
You wouldn't have been able to find it in the
La Times. To praise the girl's achievements, and the girls
can't overcome a guy who enters their race. Once the
guy enters their race, they're screwed. They can't compete. He's
(07:39):
a male who went through puberty. They didn't. They can't.
This was Newsom's compromise. Was it a compromise? Aby Hernanda
is being celebrated as the champion, all the stories about
Aby Hernandez. Now this is something that eighty percent of
(08:01):
the country opposes, and I am still trying to find
It's a very long story. I mean, didn't they give
didn't the La Times give any any credit to the
girls who really won any By the way, this is
(08:29):
federal law that we're talking about here, Title nine. It's
a nineteen seventy two civil rights law passed by Congress
signed by the President. Prohibits sex discrimination in educational programs
and other activities that receive federal funding. That's why Gavin
(08:50):
Newsom says it's deeply unfair to have guys compete as girls.
That's why Trump says it's unfair.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Everybody.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Everybody's in agreement here. And then the guy runs, the
one who claims he's a girl, and the LA Times
runs paragraph after paragraph and eventually, let's see, did they
(09:20):
trying to find the name they gave? They gave credit
to Lauren Webster who beat her Nandez in the long jump.
I don't know if their names are in this long,
long story. I can't find them. Apparently the Times doesn't
want to highlight the girls who were competing in the
girls event. Just the guy who competed in the girls event,
(09:43):
Kevin Rector here you go, who is credited with leading
the Papers our Queerest Century project in twenty twenty four.
That's the writer on this. Well, it shows you what
(10:04):
a coward Newsom is and it's really hurtful to the girls.
They don't get an article written about them. They don't
get their struggles rewarded. The end of the day, it
was all about the guy who says he's a girl.
That's who's applauded, and who's applauded by the politicians, that
(10:27):
who's applauded by the schools. That's who's applauded by the
la Times. And if you can't see that's wrong, I
don't know what to tell you. It's also illegal. But hey,
Newsome for president, right.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
You can follow us at John Cobelt Radio on social
media at John Cobert Radio. We are headed towards thirty
thousand followers. Be one of them. I just you know,
I'm always looking to make sure that I'm getting everything
accurate and everything fair and didn't miss anything. No, I
cannot find the names of the girls who actually won
(11:14):
the triple jump and the high jump in the state
track and high school track and field championships on Saturday.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
I can't that.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
The La Times printed five if you printed out, it's
five pages. And the girls who the girls who did
not have the benefit of male puberty, who were the
real winners of the triple jump and high jump, they
did not get their names mentioned. Just Aby Hernandez, the transgender,
(11:46):
the guy who identifies as a.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Girl, and how can he? How did you possibly win?
Speaker 2 (11:53):
I mean overcoming overcoming that that body that's infused with
male hormones and testosterone and all those male muscles. How
did you overcome all that and win and beat all
the other girls who don't have didn't go through mail puberty.
I well, that's a new that is a new low
(12:18):
for the La Times and a new low for Newsom.
He is a coward and he's a phony. He's an appy.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
I mean he actually went pet.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Public and said it was deeply unfair, and then he
came up with a phony blowney bogus compromise because they
were all gonna get medals. That's just classic classic Newsom.
All right, gonna move on now to a to Newsom's predecessor,
another colossal bozo, Jerry Brown. Yeah, no, Jerry Brown is
(12:52):
now eighty nine. That's close. He's eighty seven. So let
me let me see, is he born what nineteen thirty eight? Yes,
nineteen thirty eight, because I'm trying to figure out we're
going to play a clip here, and he's still he's
still getting aroused over high speed red.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
And if you've ever seen an eighty seven year old
get aroused, it's John. Really you have to mind have
But I'm trying to think, Okay, he's a child.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
You know, when you really start noticing the world hw
you're four or five, six years old. So we're talking
about mid nineteen forties, World War Two. There's no interstate
highway system, the California Freeway system. I think was just
being built in the forties, and there was no way
(13:45):
to travel from city to city efficiently unless you got
on a train. Right this was before commercial jet travel.
I started realizing just how old Jerry Brown is and
if this might explain his fixation on trains. In that era,
trains were the only way to get to the big
(14:05):
city or to get to another big city. Couldn't drive,
couldn't fly. He could drive. It is really slow, as arduous.
There weren't many roads, you know, just two lane rural roads,
and so he latched on. I didn't realize he was
(14:27):
pushing high speed rail during his first term as governor,
going way back to the mid nineteen seventies. So he
has been flogging this for fifty years. Fifty years now,
he's eighty seven. He's about to wheeze out, and he's
upset that they haven't built it yet, and he's still
(14:48):
insisting this is the way of the future. So he
went on Inside California Politics with a host named Nicki Lorenzo,
who asked Jerry Brown if he still believed in high
speed rail.
Speaker 4 (15:01):
As you're seeing things play out over the years.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Here we're fifty years later, project's not built, it's over budget.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
Do you think it's time to bail on this?
Speaker 5 (15:10):
No, No more than other projects that get over a budget.
It's a fact. I mean the Congress now, I was
talking about a intercontinental ballistic missile system that's hugely over budget,
but nobody says to stop him because.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
They think it's important.
Speaker 5 (15:28):
I think high speed rail is important, and the costs
are what they are given our system of law and
government and the ability of people to protest and throw
roadblocks in the way.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
But the reason I started stop stopping at a second.
First of it hit me. He's six years older than
even Joe Biden. He's got that sound, and he when
he talks, he slurps. I don't know if he's spitting
at you. Notice that he's I'm really taking the exit bag.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
Is that?
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Is that the only path to hold You start slurping
and drooling and you start sucking in your saliva to
keep talking. And he said on internet, intercontinental ballistic missile
system that's hugely over budget, but nobody says to stop
it because they think it's important. Yeah, it's really important
(16:24):
to have a missile system, maybe to intercept other countries missiles.
You know, other countries who want to kill us like
China or Russia. High speed rail is not the same
as an ICBM. Right now, they want to get us
(16:44):
high speed rail to take a take a fast ride
from Bakersfield to Merced. That's not the same as stopping
a Russian missile. And the costs or what they are
giving stem of law and government and the ability of
people to protest and throw roadblocks in the way. All
(17:05):
the roadblocks are from government and competence, corruption, making billions
of dollars disappear. They've done several audits of high speed
rail and all a lot of the money, billions disappeared,
there's no record of it. That's not roadblocks. That's not
a protest. In fact, there hasn't been much protest. Unfortunately,
(17:29):
there should have been because it's a seventeen billion dollars
suck right now.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
That's how much money's been lost. Play some more.
Speaker 5 (17:37):
But the reason I started talking about high speed rail
way back in the seventies was I wrote on high
speed rail in Japan. I was very impressed, and more lately,
well recently, I've written on the Chinese and the French,
and it seems like a good part of the advanced
world as able to use high speed rail. And I
(17:58):
have to say, when I get on our freeways, bigger.
I drive from Sacramento down to San Francisco. You see
the hundreds of thousands of cars, all that steel, all
that rubber, all that energy.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
There's no doubt.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
That stop a second. What's wrong with all the steel
and rubber. He really got offended by the twentieth century.
The golden days were the ninth were the eighteen hundreds.
For Jerry Brown, he wasn't even around then, although he
sounds like it. Apparently modern life hit sometime, you know,
(18:33):
while he was growing up, and it's oh, that's steel rubber.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
Yeah, so.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
There's no better way to get around than a car. Obviously,
it's still number that's why, that's why everybody has one.
You're not going to find too many people without a car.
I mean, we gave it over to the state government.
In fact, you know, this project started at the tail
end of the Schwartzegre administration through eight years of Jerry Brown.
(19:04):
So Jerry Brown was running the government while they were
blowing billions of dollars and not building anything. So it's
his incompetence, his boobery. He didn't get it done and
then knew some followed up. Now with seven more years
of incompetence of Boobery. These two guys have been running
(19:24):
the show now fifteen years, and he's claiming protests and
roadblocks and it's our no do stunk at your job,
both of you.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
You're no good. Couldn't build a railroad.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
How come they built it in Spain and Japan and
China they built it. You were in charge. You're not
a drunk guy at the end of the bar, although
you sound like it. You were running things so your
buddy knew someone was too. More coming up.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
You're listening to John Kobels on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
We're on from one to four every day, and after
four o'clock it's John Cobelt Show on demand on the
iHeart app. That's the podcast version. We've been covering hardly
anybody's covering, but we've been covering along with the West
Side current, this lawsuit against the City and County of
Los Angeles over the billions of dollars of homeless money
(20:22):
that's disappeared, leaving behind tens of thousands of homeless people
to die in the streets. This massive scam that's run
by Karen Bass among other people. And there's this big
lawsuit that's gone on the LA Alliance for Human Rights,
which is a collection of taxpayers and business owners, and
(20:46):
they want to know where the money went and why
is everything worse simple? And it's being held heard in
federal court US District Judge David Carter because originally the
case was filed in twenty twenty by downtown businesses and residents,
and the accusation was that the city and county obviously
(21:06):
failed to provide shelter and services for the vagrants and
the mental patients. Two years later, both sides reached a
federal settlement that outlined specific benchmarks and obligations. According to
the West Side Current, but this new lawsuit says that
the city failed, and they're asking the judge to maybe
(21:31):
turn control over to the whole racket, the whole scam
over to an outside receiver, some person or entity that
will govern the spending and we'll look to see what
succeeds and what fails and how much money is stolen. Now,
(21:52):
this is two point three billion dollars that's missing, and
this is our tax that's missing. And I really mean missing,
it's unaccounted for or mismanaged. Between twenty twenty and twenty
twenty four, the lawsuit led to an audit by Alvarez
(22:15):
and Marsal and they found the two point three billion
missing or unexplained, and they said there was widespread failure
and financial oversight, transparency and service delivery. So they failed
at tracking where the money went, they failed at actually
(22:36):
getting the homeless services and getting them off the street,
and they failed at being open to the world as
to what they're doing and how they're doing it. So
clearly it looks like some kind of crime syndicate here.
I don't know how you could come up with any other,
any other conclusion that this is a massive theft in
(22:58):
money laundering operation being operated by elected officials and bureaucrats
within the city. And you know, you know, one of
the things I noticed because I grew up in the
New York, New Jersey area and there were a lot
of mob stories on the news. Well, I mean, you know,
(23:19):
the five families in New York City who were mobsters.
And I don't know, maybe if you were alive back then,
you might remember the news stories and it would show
guys getting shot at restaurants and their head would fall
into their play apasta. They'd end up leaving the right exactly.
That was real life in Jersey, New York. My dad,
(23:39):
when I was a kid, he used toill work at
a factory, and he used to come home at the
end of the day, and I was like seven eight
years old, right, and I'd run to the door every day,
not to say hi to them, but to grab the
newspaper from them because I wanted to see the baseball scores,
and I wanted to see the photos on the front
page of the New York Daily News or the Post
(24:00):
because invariably they'd have photos of mobsters who'd just been
shot up, and I thought that was cool. So you'd
see the guy with his head in the plate apasta.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
And you thought that was cool.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
I did because I knew there were bad guys, and
it's like, look, the good guys got the bad guys.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
This is what formed my sense of justice. Or the
bad guys got the bag. Well, yes, that's right, I
was just going to say that.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
But the one set of bad guys must have done
something really bad to have the other bad guys to
kill them, so that you know this was some guys
were into you know, Batman or Superman. I was into
the mob, and I can identify mob like activities because
there was always what I knew what they were involved in.
(24:46):
They were involved in in they would takeover businesses where
they could skim off the money, where they could steal
the money. And so that's what's happened here is you
have the bureaucrats, you know Lasa like Valicy Adams callum right,
what did she do? She skimmed off two million dollars
and gave it to her husband's nonprofit. You have Karen
(25:09):
Bass who her song and dance is inside Safe, right,
And look at all the people we got off the
streets until somebody last week pointed out that the number
of people that she got off the streets almost exactly
matches the number of people who died on the streets.
So she didn't get any living people off the streets.
(25:29):
She got dead people off the streets. And with the mob,
you also end up with a lot of dead people
as well. And you know what the mob where In
the neighborhoods where the mob lived and was prevalent, most
locals didn't have a problem. And the reason it didn't
have problem is the mob took care of the neighborhoods.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
You got to pay for that, right exactly, And they.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
Didn't care if the guys you know, took ten percent
off the top, but you know they got they got services.
The mob provided services.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
You didn't have a choice, No, you didn't.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
Have a choice, but you did get your share of services,
you see. So you didn't really build up all that
much animosity towards the mob, and if you did, they'd
kill you. So here, all we're doing is getting the
money stolen from us. You know, we don't even get
a little bit of benefit. We don't get any services.
You know, if they took the homeless off the streets,
(26:25):
and you wouldn't be scared any more to go downtown.
And my wife wouldn't be scared anymore to go downtown.
If I found out they took ten percent off the top,
it's like, well, all right, that's the way it's been.
But they steal the money and they don't take ten percent.
I mean, they take everything two point three billion. Another
(26:46):
thing I noticed when I was a kid, when there
were mob trials, they would have a lot of lawyers.
I mean, I remember seeing when I was a kid.
There was a local newscast and some mobster had gotten nailed,
right and he got convicted, and he had they had
a prosecutor on and there was there was like the
(27:09):
video of the mob legal team, and they were like
eight guys. Eight guys were defending this one mobster. And
in this case, with this lawsuit, Karen Bass and the
County Thieves hired eleven attorneys. Actually Bass hired eleven attorneys.
(27:34):
There were two city lawyers. And then they hired Gibson Dunn.
That's a law firm that's getting paid nine hundred thousand
dollars and it's nine attorneys, two city lawyers. They entered
the case two weeks before the hearings started. They have
ad entrary hearings on May twenty seven. So the only
(27:57):
other time I've seen a legal crew that large were
the mobsters in New York City, you know, like the
Gambino family, the Colombo family, Lukeesy family. There were five
families and I used to remember all of them, Genevie's.
Genevie's family is one, and you know, John Gotti took
over one of those families, and and and so I mean,
(28:20):
I'm sure in some neighborhoods, a baseball cards with all
the mobsters on the cards, big part of the culture
back east. Well, that's what we have here. This is
the city council, This is the bast administration. These are
the county supervisors and all the nonprofits. The nonprofits are
the whare the money is stolen because the officials give
(28:42):
out the contracts to their to their family members, to
their friends, and to political associates. And that's what the
mob does too, the mobs. If you're in the mob,
your kids are in the mob, your brother's in the mob,
your neighbors are in the mob. And make sure that
if you're running a gambling operation, or you're involved in
(29:04):
the trucking business or the cement business or whatever it is,
you make sure your friends and relatives are taken care of.
They all get a peace, they all get a taste.
And that's what this mob here in La has done.
They took in billions of dollars. The homeless situation got worse,
but everybody got a piece. Everybody got a taste.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
All of you.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
Know, Karen Basses connections, all of the connections of the
city council members, the families, all of it supervisors. Everybody
got a piece of the action, and no almost were helped,
and none of them are taken off the street. And
look at the legal team eleven eleven lawyers. What does
that tell you? If you have eleven lawyers, you are
(29:48):
so guilty, you have committed so many felonies. Nobody hires
eleven lawyers unless you're guilty of a lot of horrible things. Well,
Karen Bass in the city has eleven lawyers.
Speaker 4 (30:00):
John, you need to be careful because you know what
happens right when you talk out or you speak out
against the mob, right, and you're one of the few people.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
I just you know, watch your back.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
What I'm saying Banana was the other crime family, Bananoah Banano, Colombo,
Lukezy Genoviez and Colombo.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
That those are the five crime families. You can draw.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
You can draw like charts. You know of all the
hierarchy charts. Now you could do that now with the
with the homeless agencies and the people who run the
various departments and the and the nonprofits that are connected.
Like if somebody, if the All Times is a real newspaper,
they would publish a huge graphic and show all the
families and friends, for all the nonprofits and all the agencies,
(30:47):
and all the politicians and city council members, and show
the money flow that's enriching all these people. I guarantee
you one thousand percent that's what's going on now because
it's pattern recognition. This is the exact pattern of the
mob being involved in the garbage industry and the cement
in the trucking industry. You know, back when I was
a kid. Uh, And I am not afraid, Deborah, You're
(31:09):
not no, okay, because they're so incompetent.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
They're not even good mobsters. Yeah, they would miss, they'd miss. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (31:18):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
Six forty moistline is eight seven seven Moist eighty six
eight seven seven Moist staighty six for Friday or the
talkback feature. I'm reading that Jake Tapper book that he
wrote with Alex Thompson. Tapper, the CNN anchor who was
U had his had his head up Biden's rear end
for four years and now suddenly discovered that Biden's was
(31:43):
senile the whole time. But the book is really really good.
Whatever your whatever you think Biden was in office privately,
you're right, and then multiply it by ten and I
could just read the whole book out loud, very entertaining.
But there was one thing that jumped out, not about Biden,
but about Kamala Harris. Turns out the whole Biden's staff
(32:07):
thought Kamala was a dud. They really did, and they
kept her away on purpose, and that was one of
the reasons that he never did resign. They never pushed
him to because they thought she was such an empty
an empty can. I mean, they didn't trust her to
do anything. So you imagine that all those political professionals
(32:29):
surrounding Biden, Biden is literally losing his mind, and none
of them wanted to go near the idea of having
him retire or even not even run for it, because
they were afraid that if he retired, you know, she
would get the nomination right next in the line.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
But that happened anyway.
Speaker 2 (32:47):
It ended up happening anyway. That's the thing. They tried
so hard to prevent the worst, the worst thing to happen.
They were protecting him from having to be in the
public eye or be exposed, so.
Speaker 4 (32:58):
They kept that from the public. And now it's out,
and we also had Kamala Harris running.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
Yeah, that was the other thing they kept from the
public that they all thought she was a complete dug
And just remember that in case she runs for governor.
The entire Biden White House thought she was a complete dut.
Here's how bad it was. Even Kamala Harris's own staff
thought she was a dud. This is an exact quote
(33:24):
from the book. In April twenty two, Harris attended a
dinner with journalists and other socialites at the home of
David Bradley, an influential Washington d.
Speaker 1 (33:39):
C news mogul.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
Harris aids were always anxious about an event going poorly.
This is a dinner And before the dinner, they held
a mock party with staff acting the part of guests.
Now this woman is in her fifties and they're so
(34:01):
worried that she can't go to a dinner party. They
had a fake dinner party where they pretended to be guests.
You know how they had to rehearse Biden before he
walked into a room, and they get Middex cards and
on a map and photos of the journalists we were
going to question him. Well, they had to do a
run through dinner before she would go to a regular dinner.
(34:26):
Aids actually debated whether they should have wine served at
the fake dinner so Harris could practice with a glass
or two. Now, I guess you could take that two ways,
like she didn't know how to drink wine and she
(34:48):
had to practice holding the glass, or they wanted to
teach her only to drink a glass or two because
after that, because she does sound drunk much of the time,
and maybe she's used to swinging the chardonnay straight from
the bottle. But what were they what would she be practicing.
I mean, she's in her fifties. How would you have
(35:09):
to what were you practicing your grip on the glass
or controlling yourself so you don't end.
Speaker 4 (35:18):
Up blotted, having a higher tolerance, get her tolerance up
a bit.
Speaker 2 (35:25):
Yeah, they ultimately decided not to do it.
Speaker 1 (35:30):
How strange.
Speaker 2 (35:30):
I have never heard of somebody you'd have to prepare
to go to a dinner party. You know, she was
in politics, She's been a fundraiser right for all her
political runs for decades. She didn't know how to act
at a party. I didn't get that.
Speaker 4 (35:47):
Well, we all well not we you always make fun
of her words solid, So I think that that was
what they were concerned about. You throw in some cocktails
and it's it's more than a salid.
Speaker 2 (36:05):
Yeah, the short name would be like the salad dressing. Yes,
you don't want to put too much dressing. Not healthy. Yeah,
maybe that's it all right. When we come back. Among
the things we're gonna do next hour is we're going
to have a Don Mahalik on ABC News Law Enforcement contributor.
It used to be a Secret Service agent. You're gonna
(36:26):
talk about what happened Boulder, Colorado with that crazy illegal
immigrant who is throwing flame throwers at Jewish people. Deborah
Mark live in the KFI twenty four hour Newsroom.
Speaker 1 (36:39):
Hey, you've been listening to the John Cobalt Show podcast.
Speaker 2 (36:42):
You can always hear the show live on KFI Am
six forty from one to four pm every Monday through Friday,
and of course, anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app
Can't. I am six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
You're listening to the John Cobel Podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (00:06):
How are you welcome? We are rolling.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
We're on every day from one until four o'clock and
then after four o'clock. If you miss something, you can
listen to us on the podcast John Cobelt Show on
demand on the iHeart app. And we're to start off
with something that was a big deal late last week
because you were going to have the state track and
(00:30):
Field championships, and the big controversy was Gavin Newsom was
all tied up in knots because a guy who claims
he's now a girl named ab Hernandez from Harupa Valley
was had won a sectional, a series of sectional competitions
(00:53):
in track and field and in the triple jump and
the high jump and was now going to go on
to the finals. Trump got involved and issued a proclamation
on his Truth social site saying, you know, if this
goes on, I'm pulling funding for California Athletics, all the
(01:14):
federal funding. And the Newsom is caught in a box
because he went on his id idiotic podcast.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
This is Gavin Newsom is the name? I think.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
This is an idiot, and he said it's deeply unfair
for men to compete in girls' sports, deeply unfair. But
Trump just said it was ordinarily unfair. But newsom deeply unfair.
But he did not He did not change this policy.
This policy, you may not know, this has been around
(01:49):
since twenty thirteen. Any guy in high school or college
can suddenly identify as a girl, and that's all you
have to do. You just say I identify as a girl.
You don't have to do the big chop. If you're
a guy. You don't have to follow through it anyway.
(02:09):
You don't have to prove it in any way. You
don't have to be on any kind of hormone regiment.
You have gone through puberty as a guy, and under
California law, after puberty or in the midst of puberty,
you can now compete in a high school girls sport
or a college women sport, in this case high school girls.
(02:32):
Now by the time you're sixteen years old, most guys
have gone through a fair amount of puberty. He would
go nowhere if he had to compete with other guys.
But he competes in girls races, not races, but events,
and he wins, he wins state titles. And that's what
(02:56):
happened over the weekend. He won the state title in
the girls triple jump. He won the state title in
the girl's high jump, and took second place in the
girl's lawn jump.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
He competes in the male events.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
He'd go nowhere, but because he says he's a girl. Now, okay,
here's the medal. Stand on the podium. Hey, here's the medal.
Here's another medal. How many medals do you want?
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (03:25):
They did this in Clovis. Now what I have to
do here is read to you how the La Times
covered him, Kevin Rector. They wrote about this as if
the guy ab Hernandez was an American folk hera. This
(03:45):
is Kevin Rector. Now remember, actual girls also competed, and
they under Newsom's compromise, they were awarded medals or trophies
as well. But the and we know the name of
(04:08):
the transgender ab Hernandez. But listen to this, Kevin Erector wrote,
Overcoming intense pressure to quit from President Trump, dozens of
local protesters and other prominent critics of transgender athletes and
girls sports, sixteen year old ab Hernandez bounded past many
(04:29):
of her peers to win multiple gold medals at California's
high school Track and Field Championship Saturday. They're not her peers,
They're not his peers. This, this is like, this is the problem.
(04:49):
That is a male body, that is a one hundred
percent male body. Ab Hernandez was not competing against peers.
Second paragraph, the transgender junior from Harupa Valley High School
who competed despite a directive from Trump that she'd be
barred from doing so. Once state titles in the girl's
(05:11):
triple jump, in the girl's high jump, it took second
place in the girl's long jump. Just listing all those accomplishments,
that doesn't tell you that this is wrong, this is unfair.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Her Nand is a success at.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
The twenty twenty five CIF State Track and Field Championships
in Clovis. Came amid high heat, with temperatures above one
hundred degrees for much of the day and under an
intense spotlight. And it goes through all the things Trump
says and what the protesters were doing. And despite all that,
hernand has appeared calm and focused as she competed. Her
(05:45):
Nand has beat out all other competitors, though the runner
up was also awarded first place under new rules established
by the CIF. What I noticed in this is the
girls who actually won the championships, their names are not
mentioned in this first page. I'm looking at seven paragraphs
(06:10):
the first page, no mention of their names. It didn't
lead off. They were an asterisk, they were oh well yeah,
Newsom said that they could win two.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
But they're not really the winners.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
So it's gonna be Ab Hernandez, transgender track athlete. In
the headline, she overcame intense pressure, she was calm and focused.
Wave to the girl, all about ab Hernandez, Well, what
that's a ele of an advantage if you were born
a guy, that's an incredible physiological advantage, and then quote
(06:55):
her mother, Nobridia Hernandez, heaped praise on her after the events.
I cannot fully express how proud I am of you
watching you ride by rise above. Months of being targeted,
misunderstood and judge. Those girls were robbed of their moment.
They're not seeing their names in the La Times today.
(07:17):
In fact, the La Times would not have even covered this.
You wouldn't have been able to find it in the
La Times. To praise the girl's achievements, and the girls
can't overcome a guy who enters their race. Once the
guy enters their race, they're screwed. They can't compete. He's
(07:39):
a male who went through puberty. They didn't. They can't.
This was Newsom's compromise. Was it a compromise? Aby Hernanda
is being celebrated as the champion, all the stories about
Aby Hernandez. Now this is something that eighty percent of
(08:01):
the country opposes, and I am still trying to find
It's a very long story. I mean, didn't they give
didn't the La Times give any any credit to the
girls who really won any By the way, this is
(08:29):
federal law that we're talking about here, Title nine. It's
a nineteen seventy two civil rights law passed by Congress
signed by the President. Prohibits sex discrimination in educational programs
and other activities that receive federal funding. That's why Gavin
(08:50):
Newsom says it's deeply unfair to have guys compete as girls.
That's why Trump says it's unfair.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Everybody.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Everybody's in agreement here. And then the guy runs, the
one who claims he's a girl, and the LA Times
runs paragraph after paragraph and eventually, let's see, did they
(09:20):
trying to find the name they gave? They gave credit
to Lauren Webster who beat her Nandez in the long jump.
I don't know if their names are in this long,
long story. I can't find them. Apparently the Times doesn't
want to highlight the girls who were competing in the
girls event. Just the guy who competed in the girls event,
(09:43):
Kevin Rector here you go, who is credited with leading
the Papers our Queerest Century project in twenty twenty four.
That's the writer on this. Well, it shows you what
(10:04):
a coward Newsom is and it's really hurtful to the girls.
They don't get an article written about them. They don't
get their struggles rewarded. The end of the day, it
was all about the guy who says he's a girl.
That's who's applauded, and who's applauded by the politicians, that
(10:27):
who's applauded by the schools. That's who's applauded by the
la Times. And if you can't see that's wrong, I
don't know what to tell you. It's also illegal. But hey,
Newsome for president, right.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
You can follow us at John Cobelt Radio on social
media at John Cobert Radio. We are headed towards thirty
thousand followers. Be one of them. I just you know,
I'm always looking to make sure that I'm getting everything
accurate and everything fair and didn't miss anything. No, I
cannot find the names of the girls who actually won
(11:14):
the triple jump and the high jump in the state
track and high school track and field championships on Saturday.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
I can't that.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
The La Times printed five if you printed out, it's
five pages. And the girls who the girls who did
not have the benefit of male puberty, who were the
real winners of the triple jump and high jump, they
did not get their names mentioned. Just Aby Hernandez, the transgender,
(11:46):
the guy who identifies as a.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Girl, and how can he? How did you possibly win?
Speaker 2 (11:53):
I mean overcoming overcoming that that body that's infused with
male hormones and testosterone and all those male muscles. How
did you overcome all that and win and beat all
the other girls who don't have didn't go through mail puberty.
I well, that's a new that is a new low
(12:18):
for the La Times and a new low for Newsom.
He is a coward and he's a phony. He's an appy.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
I mean he actually went pet.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Public and said it was deeply unfair, and then he
came up with a phony blowney bogus compromise because they
were all gonna get medals. That's just classic classic Newsom.
All right, gonna move on now to a to Newsom's predecessor,
another colossal bozo, Jerry Brown. Yeah, no, Jerry Brown is
(12:52):
now eighty nine. That's close. He's eighty seven. So let
me let me see, is he born what nineteen thirty eight? Yes,
nineteen thirty eight, because I'm trying to figure out we're
going to play a clip here, and he's still he's
still getting aroused over high speed red.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
And if you've ever seen an eighty seven year old
get aroused, it's John. Really you have to mind have
But I'm trying to think, Okay, he's a child.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
You know, when you really start noticing the world hw
you're four or five, six years old. So we're talking
about mid nineteen forties, World War Two. There's no interstate
highway system, the California Freeway system. I think was just
being built in the forties, and there was no way
(13:45):
to travel from city to city efficiently unless you got
on a train. Right this was before commercial jet travel.
I started realizing just how old Jerry Brown is and
if this might explain his fixation on trains. In that era,
trains were the only way to get to the big
(14:05):
city or to get to another big city. Couldn't drive,
couldn't fly. He could drive. It is really slow, as arduous.
There weren't many roads, you know, just two lane rural roads,
and so he latched on. I didn't realize he was
(14:27):
pushing high speed rail during his first term as governor,
going way back to the mid nineteen seventies. So he
has been flogging this for fifty years. Fifty years now,
he's eighty seven. He's about to wheeze out, and he's
upset that they haven't built it yet, and he's still
(14:48):
insisting this is the way of the future. So he
went on Inside California Politics with a host named Nicki Lorenzo,
who asked Jerry Brown if he still believed in high
speed rail.
Speaker 4 (15:01):
As you're seeing things play out over the years.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Here we're fifty years later, project's not built, it's over budget.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
Do you think it's time to bail on this?
Speaker 5 (15:10):
No, No more than other projects that get over a budget.
It's a fact. I mean the Congress now, I was
talking about a intercontinental ballistic missile system that's hugely over budget,
but nobody says to stop him because.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
They think it's important.
Speaker 5 (15:28):
I think high speed rail is important, and the costs
are what they are given our system of law and
government and the ability of people to protest and throw
roadblocks in the way.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
But the reason I started stop stopping at a second.
First of it hit me. He's six years older than
even Joe Biden. He's got that sound, and he when
he talks, he slurps. I don't know if he's spitting
at you. Notice that he's I'm really taking the exit bag.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
Is that?
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Is that the only path to hold You start slurping
and drooling and you start sucking in your saliva to
keep talking. And he said on internet, intercontinental ballistic missile
system that's hugely over budget, but nobody says to stop
it because they think it's important. Yeah, it's really important
(16:24):
to have a missile system, maybe to intercept other countries missiles.
You know, other countries who want to kill us like
China or Russia. High speed rail is not the same
as an ICBM. Right now, they want to get us
(16:44):
high speed rail to take a take a fast ride
from Bakersfield to Merced. That's not the same as stopping
a Russian missile. And the costs or what they are
giving stem of law and government and the ability of
people to protest and throw roadblocks in the way. All
(17:05):
the roadblocks are from government and competence, corruption, making billions
of dollars disappear. They've done several audits of high speed
rail and all a lot of the money, billions disappeared,
there's no record of it. That's not roadblocks. That's not
a protest. In fact, there hasn't been much protest. Unfortunately,
(17:29):
there should have been because it's a seventeen billion dollars
suck right now.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
That's how much money's been lost. Play some more.
Speaker 5 (17:37):
But the reason I started talking about high speed rail
way back in the seventies was I wrote on high
speed rail in Japan. I was very impressed, and more lately,
well recently, I've written on the Chinese and the French,
and it seems like a good part of the advanced
world as able to use high speed rail. And I
(17:58):
have to say, when I get on our freeways, bigger.
I drive from Sacramento down to San Francisco. You see
the hundreds of thousands of cars, all that steel, all
that rubber, all that energy.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
There's no doubt.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
That stop a second. What's wrong with all the steel
and rubber. He really got offended by the twentieth century.
The golden days were the ninth were the eighteen hundreds.
For Jerry Brown, he wasn't even around then, although he
sounds like it. Apparently modern life hit sometime, you know,
(18:33):
while he was growing up, and it's oh, that's steel rubber.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
Yeah, so.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
There's no better way to get around than a car. Obviously,
it's still number that's why, that's why everybody has one.
You're not going to find too many people without a car.
I mean, we gave it over to the state government.
In fact, you know, this project started at the tail
end of the Schwartzegre administration through eight years of Jerry Brown.
(19:04):
So Jerry Brown was running the government while they were
blowing billions of dollars and not building anything. So it's
his incompetence, his boobery. He didn't get it done and
then knew some followed up. Now with seven more years
of incompetence of Boobery. These two guys have been running
(19:24):
the show now fifteen years, and he's claiming protests and
roadblocks and it's our no do stunk at your job,
both of you.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
You're no good. Couldn't build a railroad.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
How come they built it in Spain and Japan and
China they built it. You were in charge. You're not
a drunk guy at the end of the bar, although
you sound like it. You were running things so your
buddy knew someone was too. More coming up.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
You're listening to John Kobels on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
We're on from one to four every day, and after
four o'clock it's John Cobelt Show on demand on the
iHeart app. That's the podcast version. We've been covering hardly
anybody's covering, but we've been covering along with the West
Side current, this lawsuit against the City and County of
Los Angeles over the billions of dollars of homeless money
(20:22):
that's disappeared, leaving behind tens of thousands of homeless people
to die in the streets. This massive scam that's run
by Karen Bass among other people. And there's this big
lawsuit that's gone on the LA Alliance for Human Rights,
which is a collection of taxpayers and business owners, and
(20:46):
they want to know where the money went and why
is everything worse simple? And it's being held heard in
federal court US District Judge David Carter because originally the
case was filed in twenty twenty by downtown businesses and residents,
and the accusation was that the city and county obviously
(21:06):
failed to provide shelter and services for the vagrants and
the mental patients. Two years later, both sides reached a
federal settlement that outlined specific benchmarks and obligations. According to
the West Side Current, but this new lawsuit says that
the city failed, and they're asking the judge to maybe
(21:31):
turn control over to the whole racket, the whole scam
over to an outside receiver, some person or entity that
will govern the spending and we'll look to see what
succeeds and what fails and how much money is stolen. Now,
(21:52):
this is two point three billion dollars that's missing, and
this is our tax that's missing. And I really mean missing,
it's unaccounted for or mismanaged. Between twenty twenty and twenty
twenty four, the lawsuit led to an audit by Alvarez
(22:15):
and Marsal and they found the two point three billion
missing or unexplained, and they said there was widespread failure
and financial oversight, transparency and service delivery. So they failed
at tracking where the money went, they failed at actually
(22:36):
getting the homeless services and getting them off the street,
and they failed at being open to the world as
to what they're doing and how they're doing it. So
clearly it looks like some kind of crime syndicate here.
I don't know how you could come up with any other,
any other conclusion that this is a massive theft in
(22:58):
money laundering operation being operated by elected officials and bureaucrats
within the city. And you know, you know, one of
the things I noticed because I grew up in the
New York, New Jersey area and there were a lot
of mob stories on the news. Well, I mean, you know,
(23:19):
the five families in New York City who were mobsters.
And I don't know, maybe if you were alive back then,
you might remember the news stories and it would show
guys getting shot at restaurants and their head would fall
into their play apasta. They'd end up leaving the right exactly.
That was real life in Jersey, New York. My dad,
(23:39):
when I was a kid, he used toill work at
a factory, and he used to come home at the
end of the day, and I was like seven eight
years old, right, and I'd run to the door every day,
not to say hi to them, but to grab the
newspaper from them because I wanted to see the baseball scores,
and I wanted to see the photos on the front
page of the New York Daily News or the Post
(24:00):
because invariably they'd have photos of mobsters who'd just been
shot up, and I thought that was cool. So you'd
see the guy with his head in the plate apasta.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
And you thought that was cool.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
I did because I knew there were bad guys, and
it's like, look, the good guys got the bad guys.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
This is what formed my sense of justice. Or the
bad guys got the bag. Well, yes, that's right, I
was just going to say that.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
But the one set of bad guys must have done
something really bad to have the other bad guys to
kill them, so that you know this was some guys
were into you know, Batman or Superman. I was into
the mob, and I can identify mob like activities because
there was always what I knew what they were involved in.
(24:46):
They were involved in in they would takeover businesses where
they could skim off the money, where they could steal
the money. And so that's what's happened here is you
have the bureaucrats, you know Lasa like Valicy Adams callum right,
what did she do? She skimmed off two million dollars
and gave it to her husband's nonprofit. You have Karen
(25:09):
Bass who her song and dance is inside Safe, right,
And look at all the people we got off the
streets until somebody last week pointed out that the number
of people that she got off the streets almost exactly
matches the number of people who died on the streets.
So she didn't get any living people off the streets.
(25:29):
She got dead people off the streets. And with the mob,
you also end up with a lot of dead people
as well. And you know what the mob where In
the neighborhoods where the mob lived and was prevalent, most
locals didn't have a problem. And the reason it didn't
have problem is the mob took care of the neighborhoods.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
You got to pay for that, right exactly, And they.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
Didn't care if the guys you know, took ten percent
off the top, but you know they got they got services.
The mob provided services.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
You didn't have a choice, No, you didn't.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
Have a choice, but you did get your share of services,
you see. So you didn't really build up all that
much animosity towards the mob, and if you did, they'd
kill you. So here, all we're doing is getting the
money stolen from us. You know, we don't even get
a little bit of benefit. We don't get any services.
You know, if they took the homeless off the streets,
(26:25):
and you wouldn't be scared any more to go downtown.
And my wife wouldn't be scared anymore to go downtown.
If I found out they took ten percent off the top,
it's like, well, all right, that's the way it's been.
But they steal the money and they don't take ten percent.
I mean, they take everything two point three billion. Another
(26:46):
thing I noticed when I was a kid, when there
were mob trials, they would have a lot of lawyers.
I mean, I remember seeing when I was a kid.
There was a local newscast and some mobster had gotten nailed,
right and he got convicted, and he had they had
a prosecutor on and there was there was like the
(27:09):
video of the mob legal team, and they were like
eight guys. Eight guys were defending this one mobster. And
in this case, with this lawsuit, Karen Bass and the
County Thieves hired eleven attorneys. Actually Bass hired eleven attorneys.
(27:34):
There were two city lawyers. And then they hired Gibson Dunn.
That's a law firm that's getting paid nine hundred thousand
dollars and it's nine attorneys, two city lawyers. They entered
the case two weeks before the hearings started. They have
ad entrary hearings on May twenty seven. So the only
(27:57):
other time I've seen a legal crew that large were
the mobsters in New York City, you know, like the
Gambino family, the Colombo family, Lukeesy family. There were five
families and I used to remember all of them, Genevie's.
Genevie's family is one, and you know, John Gotti took
over one of those families, and and and so I mean,
(28:20):
I'm sure in some neighborhoods, a baseball cards with all
the mobsters on the cards, big part of the culture
back east. Well, that's what we have here. This is
the city council, This is the bast administration. These are
the county supervisors and all the nonprofits. The nonprofits are
the whare the money is stolen because the officials give
(28:42):
out the contracts to their to their family members, to
their friends, and to political associates. And that's what the
mob does too, the mobs. If you're in the mob,
your kids are in the mob, your brother's in the mob,
your neighbors are in the mob. And make sure that
if you're running a gambling operation, or you're involved in
(29:04):
the trucking business or the cement business or whatever it is,
you make sure your friends and relatives are taken care of.
They all get a peace, they all get a taste.
And that's what this mob here in La has done.
They took in billions of dollars. The homeless situation got worse,
but everybody got a piece. Everybody got a taste.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
All of you.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
Know, Karen Basses connections, all of the connections of the
city council members, the families, all of it supervisors. Everybody
got a piece of the action, and no almost were helped,
and none of them are taken off the street. And
look at the legal team eleven eleven lawyers. What does
that tell you? If you have eleven lawyers, you are
(29:48):
so guilty, you have committed so many felonies. Nobody hires
eleven lawyers unless you're guilty of a lot of horrible things. Well,
Karen Bass in the city has eleven lawyers.
Speaker 4 (30:00):
John, you need to be careful because you know what
happens right when you talk out or you speak out
against the mob, right, and you're one of the few people.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
I just you know, watch your back.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
What I'm saying Banana was the other crime family, Bananoah Banano, Colombo,
Lukezy Genoviez and Colombo.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
That those are the five crime families. You can draw.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
You can draw like charts. You know of all the
hierarchy charts. Now you could do that now with the
with the homeless agencies and the people who run the
various departments and the and the nonprofits that are connected.
Like if somebody, if the All Times is a real newspaper,
they would publish a huge graphic and show all the
families and friends, for all the nonprofits and all the agencies,
(30:47):
and all the politicians and city council members, and show
the money flow that's enriching all these people. I guarantee
you one thousand percent that's what's going on now because
it's pattern recognition. This is the exact pattern of the
mob being involved in the garbage industry and the cement
in the trucking industry. You know, back when I was
a kid. Uh, And I am not afraid, Deborah, You're
(31:09):
not no, okay, because they're so incompetent.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
They're not even good mobsters. Yeah, they would miss, they'd miss. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (31:18):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
Six forty moistline is eight seven seven Moist eighty six
eight seven seven Moist staighty six for Friday or the
talkback feature. I'm reading that Jake Tapper book that he
wrote with Alex Thompson. Tapper, the CNN anchor who was
U had his had his head up Biden's rear end
for four years and now suddenly discovered that Biden's was
(31:43):
senile the whole time. But the book is really really good.
Whatever your whatever you think Biden was in office privately,
you're right, and then multiply it by ten and I
could just read the whole book out loud, very entertaining.
But there was one thing that jumped out, not about Biden,
but about Kamala Harris. Turns out the whole Biden's staff
(32:07):
thought Kamala was a dud. They really did, and they
kept her away on purpose, and that was one of
the reasons that he never did resign. They never pushed
him to because they thought she was such an empty
an empty can. I mean, they didn't trust her to
do anything. So you imagine that all those political professionals
(32:29):
surrounding Biden, Biden is literally losing his mind, and none
of them wanted to go near the idea of having
him retire or even not even run for it, because
they were afraid that if he retired, you know, she
would get the nomination right next in the line.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
But that happened anyway.
Speaker 2 (32:47):
It ended up happening anyway. That's the thing. They tried
so hard to prevent the worst, the worst thing to happen.
They were protecting him from having to be in the
public eye or be exposed, so.
Speaker 4 (32:58):
They kept that from the public. And now it's out,
and we also had Kamala Harris running.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
Yeah, that was the other thing they kept from the
public that they all thought she was a complete dug
And just remember that in case she runs for governor.
The entire Biden White House thought she was a complete dut.
Here's how bad it was. Even Kamala Harris's own staff
thought she was a dud. This is an exact quote
(33:24):
from the book. In April twenty two, Harris attended a
dinner with journalists and other socialites at the home of
David Bradley, an influential Washington d.
Speaker 1 (33:39):
C news mogul.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
Harris aids were always anxious about an event going poorly.
This is a dinner And before the dinner, they held
a mock party with staff acting the part of guests.
Now this woman is in her fifties and they're so
(34:01):
worried that she can't go to a dinner party. They
had a fake dinner party where they pretended to be guests.
You know how they had to rehearse Biden before he
walked into a room, and they get Middex cards and
on a map and photos of the journalists we were
going to question him. Well, they had to do a
run through dinner before she would go to a regular dinner.
(34:26):
Aids actually debated whether they should have wine served at
the fake dinner so Harris could practice with a glass
or two. Now, I guess you could take that two ways,
like she didn't know how to drink wine and she
(34:48):
had to practice holding the glass, or they wanted to
teach her only to drink a glass or two because
after that, because she does sound drunk much of the time,
and maybe she's used to swinging the chardonnay straight from
the bottle. But what were they what would she be practicing.
I mean, she's in her fifties. How would you have
(35:09):
to what were you practicing your grip on the glass
or controlling yourself so you don't end.
Speaker 4 (35:18):
Up blotted, having a higher tolerance, get her tolerance up
a bit.
Speaker 2 (35:25):
Yeah, they ultimately decided not to do it.
Speaker 1 (35:30):
How strange.
Speaker 2 (35:30):
I have never heard of somebody you'd have to prepare
to go to a dinner party. You know, she was
in politics, She's been a fundraiser right for all her
political runs for decades. She didn't know how to act
at a party. I didn't get that.
Speaker 4 (35:47):
Well, we all well not we you always make fun
of her words solid, So I think that that was
what they were concerned about. You throw in some cocktails
and it's it's more than a salid.
Speaker 2 (36:05):
Yeah, the short name would be like the salad dressing. Yes,
you don't want to put too much dressing. Not healthy. Yeah,
maybe that's it all right. When we come back. Among
the things we're gonna do next hour is we're going
to have a Don Mahalik on ABC News Law Enforcement contributor.
It used to be a Secret Service agent. You're gonna
(36:26):
talk about what happened Boulder, Colorado with that crazy illegal
immigrant who is throwing flame throwers at Jewish people. Deborah
