Speaker 1 (00:00):
Can't. I am six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
You're listening to the John Cobelt podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
John Cobelt, I just said that, right. You know what
I was going to do. I was going to introduce ken.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
There you go, it's not functioning properly.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
I'm starting to miss fire. We're on the air from
one until four and then after four o'clock John Corbet
Show on demand on the iHeart app and you can
listen to what you missed. Coming up in a few minutes.
The Senate Democrats State Senate voted for that sixty five
(00:39):
cent gas price increase. Yeah, why yeah, why why would
they do that? That low carbon fuel standard. They just said, yes,
we agree. The Assembly voted for it yesterday. Talk about
that in the next segment. Yes, your Democrats that want
to spend another twenty billion dollars on high speed rail.
(01:02):
This may have been overlooked a bit last hour. We'll
getting into it later again. They because Trump is pulling
four billion dollars in federal funding for high speed rail.
So the Senate is offering twenty billion dollars, but over
the next twenty years a billion a year. And Eric
Sclark just reminded me. That means they know that the
(01:23):
Baker's Field to a Merceaid segment will not be finished
for twenty years. This is really really bad. So they
are going to spend twenty billion more dollars and that's
only a fraction of what they need on Baker'sfield and Merced.
In the meantime, they voted for a sixty five cent
(01:44):
gas tax increase. Okay, onto Alex Stone. Mohammed Solomon. That's
the name of the guy who fire bombed a group
of older Jewish people in Boulder, Colorado, and he tried
to buy a handgun. He was going to make this
a shooting massacre, but was denied because he's an illegal alien.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
Alex Stone. ABC News has all the details. Alex.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Hey, there, Johnny, a little bit of breaking news as well.
In the last couple of minutes, a federal judge has
said that his family cannot be deported, that they are
in the country illegally. As well, the Department of Homeland
Security began moving towards sending them back to Egypt. His
wife and five children who were in Colorado Springs illegally.
(02:33):
That the federal judge in a short order saying that they.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Cannot be deported right now.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
So but they're all here on an expired visa, so
they are. And Christy Nome had been saying, well, here,
here's what you're saying.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
Mohammed's despicable actions will be prosecuted to the fullest extent.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Of the law.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
But we're also investigating to what extent his family knew
about the horrific attack, if they had any knowledge of it,
or if they provided support to it.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
And the White House was saying that they might have
been deported even last night, that they thought they were
going to be out of the country. The family filed
a lawsuit to stop their deportation, and now the federal
judge in the Tenth Circuit is saying, yep, the government
cannot deport them right now and while they deal with
the lawsuits, so they will not be deported now. To
(03:19):
the point you were making a moment ago, So Mohammed
Solomon has said from the beginning of this, as he's
been talking to police, that he wanted it to be
an active shooter scenario, and he tried over and over
again to get a gun, but he could not buy
any guns because he is in the country illegally, born
in Egypt, lived in Kuoit for seventeen years. Came to
(03:40):
Colorado Springs three years ago with his family. They overstayed
their visas, and now we know November twenty second of
last year, he tried to buy a handgun. It was
at a Colorado Springs sporting goods store. He was denied
because of an instant background check that was done that
came up that he was in the country illegally. Now
that is supposed to then note Ice, because they've got
(04:02):
a name, they've got an a dress.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
We don't know what happened there. Ice apparently didn't know
about it.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Then on December thirtieth, the Colorado Bureau of Investigation, they
turned him down for concealed weapons permit and at that
point he has told police that he pivoted, unable to
get firearms and made it a fire bombing attack. And
the US attorney saying this, mister Solomon stated that he
had been planning this attack for a year and he
(04:27):
acted because he hated what he called the Zionist group,
and he went to Google to figure out where is
there a group, a pro Israeli group that he could
go after. A Zionist group, as he called it and
found Boulder, made the two hour drive. After doing a
lot of research over a year, I went on YouTube
(04:49):
figure out how to make Molotov cocktails, how to make
the flamethrower that he used, and narrowed in on this
group in Boulder that marched on Sundays and decided to
carry it out.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Where do they did?
Speaker 2 (05:01):
They say where he made the Molotov cocktail and the flamethrower?
Did he make all this in his house? He made
it in his house, but a little bit in his
car as well, because driving up he went to Target
and bought the containers. Then driving the Boulder it's two
hour drive Colorado Springs to Boulder, he stopped and bought
the gasoline for it and then did it in his car.
(05:22):
But I mean, they're not difficult to make a Molotov cocktail.
But that his family should have known well, he claims. Yeah,
He claims his family didn't know a thing, that this
was all internal, that he became more and more angry,
and that.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
He didn't let anybody else.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
How if you want, you you've got a wife and kids, right, Yeah,
If you were gonna build a flamethrower in Molotov cocktails,
where what room of the house would you do it right?
So then he probably tested it out at some point,
you know, in the backyard or did something. I'm guessing
this stuff takes a long time to put together, and
you have to do tests right, and then you risk
(05:55):
blowing up your family.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Along the way.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Well, I mean, he caught himself on fire when he
did it. That's why he took it.
Speaker 5 (06:00):
You know.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
He went he dressed up like a gardener so that
nobody would see him as suspicious as he was waiting
for the group to march toward him, even bought flowers
attack like he was planting there outside the old County.
And then when he lit the thing on fire, the
orange vest and the shirt he was wearing. He caught
on fire. We've got video of it. And then he
his shirt off. That's why he did had no shirt.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
No, I didn't know that. I thought he showed up
without his shirt.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
No, no, he had I didn't know he was vest
on and then caught himself in the fire. I just
thought he was so nuts, you know, because a lot
of crazy people wander around LA and they're not wearing shirts. Yeah. No,
he he wanted to look like a gardener. But when
he caught that vest On fire, it came off. His
family must have known, though. There's no way you could
(06:45):
build a series of Molotov cocktails and a flamethrower and
not have the family get wind of it. Yeah, I mean,
we don't know that. We haven't heard from them. He
claims that none of them knew. He waited until his
eighteen year old daughter graduated from high school. He thought
he was going to die in this. He has told
police that he was waiting for that so we wouldn't
die before she got.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Out of high school.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
So, I mean, he put a lot of thinking into
a lot of thought into it and deciding when he
was going to do it, who it was going to be,
how he was going to do it, but he could
not get those guns. He's really going to enjoy the
reception he gets in federal prison now, Yeah, I got
to understand why he wanted to die, all right, Alex,
very good, thank you for coming on.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
You got to thank John.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Alex Stone ABC News about shirtless crazy guy.
Speaker 5 (07:28):
Now we know that he wasn't, you know, strutting his
stuff on purpose.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
I mean, sure there was a reason.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
He's not one of those weirdos he was just a
mass murderer. No, he's definitely a weirdo, only forty five too.
He just looked like this chunky old guy, all that
gray hair, no shirt. What a looney tune when we
come back. You know, it's impossible to believe. But there
(07:57):
was a vote to repeal the sixty five cent gas
tax hike that's coming very soon, and most Democrats voted no, No, repeal,
let's go through with it. Some of them abstaining. That's
the new trick for some of these Democrats. They run
(08:20):
and hide. I guess in the men's room or in
the in the ladies room are they voting? I can't
hear Hi, it's come on next.
Speaker 6 (08:29):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
John Cobelt voistline eight seven seven Moist steady six eight
seven seven Moist steady six, or use the talkback feature
on the iHeartRadio app and people will be raging away.
I'm sure this Friday about high speed rail, Trump cut
off future federal funding. About four billion dollars has been yanked.
(08:56):
We'll have a lot more on that later in the show.
We covered it to the whole first hour. So that's
something you definitely should listen to on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
John Cobelt's show on demand, the podcast.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Onto the sixty five cent gas tax increase, which funds
high speed rail. Ashley's Valla from kcra A Channel three
up in Sacramento, the only reporter who covers the legislature.
She sent out a message today that California's gas tax
(09:34):
is going up another two cents a gallon starting July first.
That is right, every July, every July fourth weekend, the
gas tax goes up July first, two cents. It's going
to be now just the gas tax. I mean, there's
probably a dollar fifty dollars sixty worth of taxes. There's
(09:56):
a whole family of taxes, but the main gas tax
now is sixty one cents a gallon. And she writes
that the updated low carbon fuel standard may also go
into effect that month, So a month from now, you'll
(10:17):
be paying sixty seven cents. These are all estimates. Could
be worse. Maybe there'll be a couple of pennies better,
but they could be worse. The uh, the Senate Democrats
voted for higher gas prices. What I love about it
(10:40):
seems like with the rise of Karl Demio on the Assembly,
he has convinced some of the other Republicans now to
go on offense and through the use of legislative rules,
force the Democrats to vote on these matters, go public
with their votes, not hide in the shadows. They do
benefit because we have such a lazy, lazy, lazy media,
(11:03):
especially here in Los Angeles. Hardly anybody covers Sacramento. So
the California Air Resources Board comes up with a sixty
five cent gas tax and boom, you don't even hear
about it. No, they don't want to interrupt their I
don't know if you watched the local news lately.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
I have, and what do they even? What do they
even show anymore? I go to bed early, so I
watch it every morning. Yeah, what are they doing? Weather recipes?
Speaker 3 (11:34):
No, I mean weather.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
In the morning. I see recipes.
Speaker 5 (11:36):
Oh you do, yeah, I see a lot of weather
for traffic, but not too much hard news.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
I mean no, that's actually not true.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Something other than shootings. Let me take your time.
Speaker 5 (11:54):
I mean local stuff, but not No, we're not talking
about the gas I mean now they do talk about No,
do they really talk about the homeless?
Speaker 3 (12:02):
Situation.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Not really.
Speaker 5 (12:05):
I mean and they also say, you know, they use
the words unhoused unhoused.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Yes, yes, Well let me tell you this.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
If they're using words like unhoused, then you have a
progressive news organization that is not interested in embarrassing the
democratic regime here in Los Angeles or in Sacramento.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
Okay, that's a tip off.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
You don't have to waste your time watching a week's
worth of their broadcasts.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
As soon as you hear unhoused ding ding, Oh, why.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
Is it so bad to stay homeless?
Speaker 1 (12:32):
I had no idea.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
I mean, we've always said homeless.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Uh, well, it became stigmatized, so now it's unhoused and
that's less stigmatized, Which is that's a funny thing. If
you're gonna be laying in the street whacked out on
drugs or acting like a lunatic, uh, whatever you call
these people is going to end up getting stigmatized because
(12:56):
nobody wants to deal with this behavior. It's too scary
and disgusting.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
Are we allowed to say drug addicts.
Speaker 5 (13:04):
I'm not saying everybody that's homeless as a drug acct.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
I'm not saying that. But is that stigmatized as well.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
A person's experiencing drug addiction. Yes, you have to use
four or five words. I noticed, and they're always experiencing something.
People experiencing mental illness or a mental illness episode. I
don't know, I don't know who comes up with this stuff,
but every single journalist and producer and editor, if they
(13:31):
fall right in line.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Well, here's the story.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
At a Sacramento Senate Democrats did vote for higher gas prices.
Brian Jones is the Senate Minority leader, and he forced
a vote to repeal the sixty five cent gas price hike.
This comes from the California Air Resources Board, which none
of us elected. In fact, the head of the California
(13:55):
Air Resources Board, Leanne Randolph, she admitted that when she
when they impose their policies, they never even investigate what
it's going to do to the price.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Here's the exact quote.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Last week, California Resources Board, the chairwoman, Leanne Randolph admitted,
the board does not consider how its regulations affect prices
at the pump. Now, they are almost entirely appointed by
Gavin Newsom. So this is Gavin Newsom's sixty five cent
gas tax increase. And all these people, according to Brian
(14:39):
Jones are wealthy, all of them handpicked by the governor
and directed by the governor. And there is no curiosity
as to how high this will drive the price of gas.
And this is why USC professor Michael MChE said gas
prices could be nearly eight to fifty a gallon by
(15:02):
twenty twenty six because you got two refinery shutdowns, you
have all these extra taxes. Now you're getting hit. You're
getting hit with two taxes on July. The first, the
two cent gas excise tax, the sixty five cent California
(15:25):
Air Resources Board tax. So it's a double tax. It
totals at least sixty seven cents. And it went up
for a vote and the vote was a yes would
mean you want to repeal the tax. A no says
keep the tax. The nose one twenty three to ten
(15:48):
to keep the tax. Seven senators abstained, afraid, cowards, they
refuse to vote. And and you know, tomorrow, I think
we'll spend some time. I see one note vote that
jumps out at me, the reprehensible Tom Umberg. I thought
(16:10):
we drove him out of office thirty years ago, and
he keeps popping back up. The turd that floats to
the top of the bowl. Tom Umberg out of Orange County,
I don't know what these people in Orange County. He
was the first guy we went after when we started
on the air. Here had to do with the three
strikes bills that he was undercutting back then, and look
(16:34):
at this, all these years later, he is now supporting
a sixty five cent gas tax hike. Tom Umberg in
Orange County, I don't know what you people are doing there. Well,
we got a lot of people who voted no. We
got a lot of people who voted to abstain, and
we will further publicize them tomorrow, all right, so you
(16:56):
could put that on your calendar now when we come back.
Speaking of cowardly, Karen Bass was supposed to testify in
this civil trial. The LA Alliance for Human Rights is
LA citizens and businesses trying to get the city and
the county and LASA to get the homeless off the
(17:18):
streets an account for the billions of dollars spent. Karen
Bass is afraid of that, and she hired eleven lawyers
to keep her from testifying. Did they succeed, We'll tell you.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Coming up.
Speaker 6 (17:34):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI Am
six forty.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
We're on every day from one until four o'clock. You
miss stuff, and we've had a lot today after four
o'clock John Cobelt Show on demand on the iHeart app
and first hour we did a thorough presentation on the
federal government. Trump administration. They pulled the fund for high
(18:00):
speed rail, the federal funding four billion dollars, take it away.
We had Tom McClintock on about that, the Congressman. We
also had State Senator Tony Strickland from Huntington Beach on,
so you can hear that. Our number one on the
iHeart Radio app. And we've been talking about the cowards,
the Democratic cowards who we will name tomorrow in the
(18:22):
in the state Senate, who maybe don't feel too good
about that sixty five cent gas tax increase that's coming.
Perhaps on July the first. You realize there's two gas
taxes that are coming within what is tay J's June
the fourth, so we've got twenty six days, twenty seven
days away from a double tax. If that sixty five
(18:47):
cent thing kicks in, then we're looking at all about
five point fifty five sixty a gallon.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
I don't know how long can this go on? How
long are you gonna pay this?
Speaker 2 (18:58):
It's all self inflicted by the legislature and Governor Newsom.
Another coward is Karen Bass. Karen Bass recently blocked an
audit into her inside Safe scam. That's her claim that
she's got this program that takes homeless people off the
street and puts them in old motels and hotels, but
(19:21):
she's not open to any any inspection of that particular program.
She actually blocked an audit, which means the thing is
failing and they're they're covering it up. The other day,
one well, one guy who's involved in the local politics said,
if you do the math, you will see that the
(19:42):
number of homeless that they claim they took off the
streets matches the number of homeless who are dead. So
that was the credit Karen Bass maybe taking.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
Is that?
Speaker 2 (19:53):
Yeah, she got she got a couple of thousand off
the street because they died. All right, good going, Karen.
We'll give you full credit for that, for killing those
two thousand people.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Excellent.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Matthew Umhoffer is an attorney for the LA Alliance for
Human Rights. They filed the civil lawsuit in federal court
saying that billions of dollars have disappeared by the City
of La, the County of La, and their joint project LASA,
the LA Housing Authority, and he wants to know where
the money went. And Bass is so scared. I've actually
(20:28):
never seen this. She hired eleven lawyers to defend her
and I'm not making this up. Eleven freaking lawyers just
to keep her from testifying. Umhoffer had issued a subpoena
and Bass doesn't want to testify because you're under oath
(20:48):
in a federal court you.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Have to tell the truth.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
So she's blocking an audit of inside Safe and she
doesn't want to be questioned by the judge. It was
Judge David Carter, And if they followed through pushing the subpoena,
it was going to delay the trial two to three months,
(21:11):
which is which is why they put up the roadblock.
Bass knew that nobody wanted to wait two or three months.
So finally Umhaffer, LA Alliance for Human Rights agreed to
withdraw the subpoena.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
Isn't it Isn't it terrible?
Speaker 2 (21:28):
And by the way, those eleven attorneys, they're all paid
with city tax money. That's you if you live in
the city of Los Angeles. You're paying for the eleven
attorneys who have surrounded Karen Bass to keep her from
having to testify under oath about her Inside Safe scam.
And she's using her power to block an audit of
her inside Safe scam. But please go ahead keep voting
(21:52):
for her. Umhaffer, the attorney, says, I think it's cowardly
for the mayor not to testify. She's coming to court
on multiple asians and shared talking points, but has never
undergone across examination. That's the beauty about being a democratic
politician in this state. You never have to answer a
hostile question because nobody in the lazy ass media goes
(22:16):
after Bass or goes after Newsom. So they live in
this perpetual bubble where they have sycophants and weirdos that
surround them and agree with them. The En Evangelists is
an attorney for the city, and she said that Umhaffer's
(22:43):
allegation of cowardice because Umhoffer said this in front of
the judge's uncalled for look virus Karen Bass and I
thought great things had happened with Inside Safe. I'd be
sfering hostile questions all day and night, because I would
(23:04):
be able to prove, hey, two and a half years,
billions of dollars of tax money. It's all working out
really well. Really, here are some people we took off
the street who didn't die. Just produce a few of those.
So inside Safe is a bust. And they're going through
(23:26):
all kinds of legal manipulations in order to avoid answering
really any of the charges that this La Alliance for
Human Rights is making. They're claiming that the milestones that
are supposed to be met and accounted for are not mandatory.
And besides that we have a state of emergency, so
(23:49):
we don't have to really do anything about the homeless
situation anything in this agreement. See, they had an original
agreement between the Alliance and the city that a judge
Brokern way back in twenty twenty two, and they were
supposed to live up to that agreement to get the
homeless off the street and account for the money, with
the exception being if there was some kind of city emergency. Well,
(24:11):
Bass declared an emergency after the Palisades fire, and that meant, hey,
we don't have to provide any evidence that our homeless
policies are working, or that the billions of dollars is
doing any good. Now, of course, the fire in the
Palisades has nothing to do with the mental patients and
(24:33):
drug addicts who are splayed all over the street. One
emergency has nothing to do with the other. But when
you hire eleven attorneys, that's what they do is they
make a connection a state of emergency. We don't have
to give you any reports, we don't have to meet milestones,
we don't have to answer questions, and Karen Bass doesn't
have to have to testify. So f you, there happened
(24:58):
six days of testimony in this case, and the Alliance's
lawyers have been quoting a consulting firm that found that
these fake homeless programs lack adequate data systems and financial controls,
leaving them vulnerable to fraud. So Bass's homeless programs have
(25:24):
already been looted.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
They're vulnerable to fraud.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
Oh, that means people can make up fake nonprofits and
steal your tax money, and you still have homeless people
dying in the streets. So here's a quote from Monica Rodriguez.
She's a councilwoman Apparently she and Tracy Park were going
(25:50):
to testify, but the city blocked those subpoenas as well. Rodriguez,
she's up in the San Fernando Valley as a councilwoman.
Frequently you this is the phrase Merry go round from
Hell to describe LA struggle to get accurate data from LASA.
Merry go round from hell. That's what criminals do.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
Now. I mentioned this yesterday.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
I grew up in the New York, New Jersey area,
and the place is rife with mobsters. It was Soprano
Land every day of the year on the news. I
have never seen eleven attorneys defend anybody for anything. I
don't think I don't think did Charles Manson have eleven attorneys?
Speaker 3 (26:35):
I don't think so.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
No, Ted Bundy, you have eleven attorneys. No, John Gotti,
Karen Bass has eleven attorneys, all paid for by you.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
If you live in Los Angeles.
Speaker 6 (26:48):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
John Cobelt Show.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
Follow us on social media at John Cobelt Radio at
John Cobelt that's on social media. We're headed for thirty
thousand followers. Have you ever gone on a double decker airplane.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
Yes, I have.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
They're cool, aren't they very cool?
Speaker 3 (27:10):
So big?
Speaker 1 (27:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
Well, the one time we were on a double decker airplane, though,
our flight got delayed for three hours because somebody left
the water running at a coffee station on the top
deck and the water started leaking into the bottom floor
where we are and we were flying. It was the
family trip to go on a safari in Africa, and
(27:34):
we had to fly to Amsterdam and change planes there,
and some idiot left the water running, so water came
cascading and it took them three hours to figure out
to turn off the spigot upstairs. We ended up missing
our connection, which is all another thing. I'm sure that
was my only experience I realized having a double decker
(27:56):
doubles the chances of things going wrong. There's a double
decker flight British Airways.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
I think that's what.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
We took San Francisco to London and in the middle
of the flight they found somebody in the bathroom. They
have a I guess, pretty large bathroom club world cabin bathroom.
I guess that's probably the elite section of the plane. Yeah,
maybe an extra large bathroom area and they found somebody
(28:29):
who is dancing naked inside the restroom.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
Inside. Well how did they find him though?
Speaker 1 (28:36):
I mean he naked and dancing. See, now you thought
it was a guy right away.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
I did.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
Wasn't a passenger or was that part of the package
on the plane.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
In business class they provide you with naked dancers. Yeah, no,
you're right, it is a guy.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
That's funny. I just assumed it was going to be
a woman.
Speaker 3 (28:53):
No, I assumed it was a guy.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
It was a flight attendant. He was born British Airways
flight attendant.
Speaker 5 (29:02):
Okay, so it's an overnight flight, so he wanted to change, right,
so he took his clothes off and.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
Then and the drugs kicked it.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
Right, the alcohol, and he just started doing a little.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
He had turned the club World bathroom into a one
man disco.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
But did Okay, but.
Speaker 5 (29:20):
Don't you lock the door when you're in these restrooms?
I mean, who saw this with their camera?
Speaker 2 (29:26):
Somebody walked in on him. I guess maybe he didn't.
He didn't lock the door, he was He was standing
there naked. So they got him out of the bathroom
and they threw some pajamas on him because you know,
in first class. You did free pajamas, so they got
a pair of that, and then they put on restraints
and they stuck him in a first class seat for
(29:47):
the rest of the flight. Huge flight, four hundred and
seventy passengers and crew on board. And when they landed
in London they took him into custody.
Speaker 3 (29:58):
Was he having a meltdown?
Speaker 1 (30:00):
No, No, he was just dancing. I was just you know,
he's a mile high up in the air, and.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
Well, why do they have to put him in restraints? Then,
I mean, well, it.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
Might have been upset that they interrupted his dance, his moment. Yeah, yeah,
that's it. He wasn't finished.
Speaker 5 (30:17):
Well, I mean there's always a beginning, a middle, yes, right,
oh yeah, right, okay, okay, someone mixed the sleepy pills
with the happy pills.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (30:31):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
Anyway, coming up now after Deborah's news, Uh, we told
you about this yesterday. There's a real deadline on this.
I think June sixth, Yes, June sixth, Friday. The Southern
California I'm sorry I misspoke there, the South Coast Air
Quality Management District, you know about the California Air Resources Board.
(30:53):
We have a local version of these religious fanatics, the
South Coast Air Quality Management District. They are going to
be passing a regulation that's going to phase out gas
water heaters and gas space heaters. This would affect millions
(31:14):
of people across southern California. They took a run at
this a while back, and the public screamed at them
and they dropped the idea. Now they have another version
of the idea that gets you to the same place.
It's going to cost you a lot of money, and
eventually you will not be able to have a gas
(31:35):
or a gas space or water heater. All right, So
we'll talk with Laurie Davies, an assembly woman. She is
leading a coalition that is opposing this gas appliance ban. Yes,
these nuts suddenly turned on gas powered not just your car,
but your appliances. You know, they tried this in Washington
(31:56):
with Biden, but Trump has busted up that scheme, and
now we need somebody to bust up the scheme here
South Coast Air Quality Management District. You've probably never even
heard of them. Well, they get to rule their life,
rule your life. Debra Mark Live in the KFI twenty
four hour newsroom.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
Hey, you've been listening to the John Cobalt Show podcast.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
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 Cobelt podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
John Cobelt, I just said that, right. You know what
I was going to do. I was going to introduce ken.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
There you go, it's not functioning properly.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
I'm starting to miss fire. We're on the air from
one until four and then after four o'clock John Corbet
Show on demand on the iHeart app and you can
listen to what you missed. Coming up in a few minutes.
The Senate Democrats State Senate voted for that sixty five
(00:39):
cent gas price increase. Yeah, why yeah, why why would
they do that? That low carbon fuel standard. They just said, yes,
we agree. The Assembly voted for it yesterday. Talk about
that in the next segment. Yes, your Democrats that want
to spend another twenty billion dollars on high speed rail.
(01:02):
This may have been overlooked a bit last hour. We'll
getting into it later again. They because Trump is pulling
four billion dollars in federal funding for high speed rail.
So the Senate is offering twenty billion dollars, but over
the next twenty years a billion a year. And Eric
Sclark just reminded me. That means they know that the
(01:23):
Baker's Field to a Merceaid segment will not be finished
for twenty years. This is really really bad. So they
are going to spend twenty billion more dollars and that's
only a fraction of what they need on Baker'sfield and Merced.
In the meantime, they voted for a sixty five cent
(01:44):
gas tax increase. Okay, onto Alex Stone. Mohammed Solomon. That's
the name of the guy who fire bombed a group
of older Jewish people in Boulder, Colorado, and he tried
to buy a handgun. He was going to make this
a shooting massacre, but was denied because he's an illegal alien.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
Alex Stone. ABC News has all the details. Alex.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Hey, there, Johnny, a little bit of breaking news as well.
In the last couple of minutes, a federal judge has
said that his family cannot be deported, that they are
in the country illegally. As well, the Department of Homeland
Security began moving towards sending them back to Egypt. His
wife and five children who were in Colorado Springs illegally.
(02:33):
That the federal judge in a short order saying that they.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Cannot be deported right now.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
So but they're all here on an expired visa, so
they are. And Christy Nome had been saying, well, here,
here's what you're saying.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
Mohammed's despicable actions will be prosecuted to the fullest extent.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Of the law.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
But we're also investigating to what extent his family knew
about the horrific attack, if they had any knowledge of it,
or if they provided support to it.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
And the White House was saying that they might have
been deported even last night, that they thought they were
going to be out of the country. The family filed
a lawsuit to stop their deportation, and now the federal
judge in the Tenth Circuit is saying, yep, the government
cannot deport them right now and while they deal with
the lawsuits, so they will not be deported now. To
(03:19):
the point you were making a moment ago, So Mohammed
Solomon has said from the beginning of this, as he's
been talking to police, that he wanted it to be
an active shooter scenario, and he tried over and over
again to get a gun, but he could not buy
any guns because he is in the country illegally, born
in Egypt, lived in Kuoit for seventeen years. Came to
(03:40):
Colorado Springs three years ago with his family. They overstayed
their visas, and now we know November twenty second of
last year, he tried to buy a handgun. It was
at a Colorado Springs sporting goods store. He was denied
because of an instant background check that was done that
came up that he was in the country illegally. Now
that is supposed to then note Ice, because they've got
(04:02):
a name, they've got an a dress.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
We don't know what happened there. Ice apparently didn't know
about it.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Then on December thirtieth, the Colorado Bureau of Investigation, they
turned him down for concealed weapons permit and at that
point he has told police that he pivoted, unable to
get firearms and made it a fire bombing attack. And
the US attorney saying this, mister Solomon stated that he
had been planning this attack for a year and he
(04:27):
acted because he hated what he called the Zionist group,
and he went to Google to figure out where is
there a group, a pro Israeli group that he could
go after. A Zionist group, as he called it and
found Boulder, made the two hour drive. After doing a
lot of research over a year, I went on YouTube
(04:49):
figure out how to make Molotov cocktails, how to make
the flamethrower that he used, and narrowed in on this
group in Boulder that marched on Sundays and decided to
carry it out.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Where do they did?
Speaker 2 (05:01):
They say where he made the Molotov cocktail and the flamethrower?
Did he make all this in his house? He made
it in his house, but a little bit in his
car as well, because driving up he went to Target
and bought the containers. Then driving the Boulder it's two
hour drive Colorado Springs to Boulder, he stopped and bought
the gasoline for it and then did it in his car.
(05:22):
But I mean, they're not difficult to make a Molotov cocktail.
But that his family should have known well, he claims. Yeah,
He claims his family didn't know a thing, that this
was all internal, that he became more and more angry,
and that.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
He didn't let anybody else.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
How if you want, you you've got a wife and kids, right, Yeah,
If you were gonna build a flamethrower in Molotov cocktails,
where what room of the house would you do it right?
So then he probably tested it out at some point,
you know, in the backyard or did something. I'm guessing
this stuff takes a long time to put together, and
you have to do tests right, and then you risk
(05:55):
blowing up your family.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Along the way.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Well, I mean, he caught himself on fire when he
did it. That's why he took it.
Speaker 5 (06:00):
You know.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
He went he dressed up like a gardener so that
nobody would see him as suspicious as he was waiting
for the group to march toward him, even bought flowers
attack like he was planting there outside the old County.
And then when he lit the thing on fire, the
orange vest and the shirt he was wearing. He caught
on fire. We've got video of it. And then he
his shirt off. That's why he did had no shirt.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
No, I didn't know that. I thought he showed up
without his shirt.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
No, no, he had I didn't know he was vest
on and then caught himself in the fire. I just
thought he was so nuts, you know, because a lot
of crazy people wander around LA and they're not wearing shirts. Yeah. No,
he he wanted to look like a gardener. But when
he caught that vest On fire, it came off. His
family must have known, though. There's no way you could
(06:45):
build a series of Molotov cocktails and a flamethrower and
not have the family get wind of it. Yeah, I mean,
we don't know that. We haven't heard from them. He
claims that none of them knew. He waited until his
eighteen year old daughter graduated from high school. He thought
he was going to die in this. He has told
police that he was waiting for that so we wouldn't
die before she got.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Out of high school.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
So, I mean, he put a lot of thinking into
a lot of thought into it and deciding when he
was going to do it, who it was going to be,
how he was going to do it, but he could
not get those guns. He's really going to enjoy the
reception he gets in federal prison now, Yeah, I got
to understand why he wanted to die, all right, Alex,
very good, thank you for coming on.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
You got to thank John.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Alex Stone ABC News about shirtless crazy guy.
Speaker 5 (07:28):
Now we know that he wasn't, you know, strutting his
stuff on purpose.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
I mean, sure there was a reason.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
He's not one of those weirdos he was just a
mass murderer. No, he's definitely a weirdo, only forty five too.
He just looked like this chunky old guy, all that
gray hair, no shirt. What a looney tune when we
come back. You know, it's impossible to believe. But there
(07:57):
was a vote to repeal the sixty five cent gas
tax hike that's coming very soon, and most Democrats voted no, No, repeal,
let's go through with it. Some of them abstaining. That's
the new trick for some of these Democrats. They run
(08:20):
and hide. I guess in the men's room or in
the in the ladies room are they voting? I can't
hear Hi, it's come on next.
Speaker 6 (08:29):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
John Cobelt voistline eight seven seven Moist steady six eight
seven seven Moist steady six, or use the talkback feature
on the iHeartRadio app and people will be raging away.
I'm sure this Friday about high speed rail, Trump cut
off future federal funding. About four billion dollars has been yanked.
(08:56):
We'll have a lot more on that later in the show.
We covered it to the whole first hour. So that's
something you definitely should listen to on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
John Cobelt's show on demand, the podcast.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Onto the sixty five cent gas tax increase, which funds
high speed rail. Ashley's Valla from kcra A Channel three
up in Sacramento, the only reporter who covers the legislature.
She sent out a message today that California's gas tax
(09:34):
is going up another two cents a gallon starting July first.
That is right, every July, every July fourth weekend, the
gas tax goes up July first, two cents. It's going
to be now just the gas tax. I mean, there's
probably a dollar fifty dollars sixty worth of taxes. There's
(09:56):
a whole family of taxes, but the main gas tax
now is sixty one cents a gallon. And she writes
that the updated low carbon fuel standard may also go
into effect that month, So a month from now, you'll
(10:17):
be paying sixty seven cents. These are all estimates. Could
be worse. Maybe there'll be a couple of pennies better,
but they could be worse. The uh, the Senate Democrats
voted for higher gas prices. What I love about it
(10:40):
seems like with the rise of Karl Demio on the Assembly,
he has convinced some of the other Republicans now to
go on offense and through the use of legislative rules,
force the Democrats to vote on these matters, go public
with their votes, not hide in the shadows. They do
benefit because we have such a lazy, lazy, lazy media,
(11:03):
especially here in Los Angeles. Hardly anybody covers Sacramento. So
the California Air Resources Board comes up with a sixty
five cent gas tax and boom, you don't even hear
about it. No, they don't want to interrupt their I
don't know if you watched the local news lately.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
I have, and what do they even? What do they
even show anymore? I go to bed early, so I
watch it every morning. Yeah, what are they doing? Weather recipes?
Speaker 3 (11:34):
No, I mean weather.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
In the morning. I see recipes.
Speaker 5 (11:36):
Oh you do, yeah, I see a lot of weather
for traffic, but not too much hard news.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
I mean no, that's actually not true.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Something other than shootings. Let me take your time.
Speaker 5 (11:54):
I mean local stuff, but not No, we're not talking
about the gas I mean now they do talk about No,
do they really talk about the homeless?
Speaker 3 (12:02):
Situation.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Not really.
Speaker 5 (12:05):
I mean and they also say, you know, they use
the words unhoused unhoused.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Yes, yes, Well let me tell you this.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
If they're using words like unhoused, then you have a
progressive news organization that is not interested in embarrassing the
democratic regime here in Los Angeles or in Sacramento.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
Okay, that's a tip off.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
You don't have to waste your time watching a week's
worth of their broadcasts.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
As soon as you hear unhoused ding ding, Oh, why.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
Is it so bad to stay homeless?
Speaker 1 (12:32):
I had no idea.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
I mean, we've always said homeless.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Uh, well, it became stigmatized, so now it's unhoused and
that's less stigmatized, Which is that's a funny thing. If
you're gonna be laying in the street whacked out on
drugs or acting like a lunatic, uh, whatever you call
these people is going to end up getting stigmatized because
(12:56):
nobody wants to deal with this behavior. It's too scary
and disgusting.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
Are we allowed to say drug addicts.
Speaker 5 (13:04):
I'm not saying everybody that's homeless as a drug acct.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
I'm not saying that. But is that stigmatized as well.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
A person's experiencing drug addiction. Yes, you have to use
four or five words. I noticed, and they're always experiencing something.
People experiencing mental illness or a mental illness episode. I
don't know, I don't know who comes up with this stuff,
but every single journalist and producer and editor, if they
(13:31):
fall right in line.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Well, here's the story.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
At a Sacramento Senate Democrats did vote for higher gas prices.
Brian Jones is the Senate Minority leader, and he forced
a vote to repeal the sixty five cent gas price hike.
This comes from the California Air Resources Board, which none
of us elected. In fact, the head of the California
(13:55):
Air Resources Board, Leanne Randolph, she admitted that when she
when they impose their policies, they never even investigate what
it's going to do to the price.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Here's the exact quote.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Last week, California Resources Board, the chairwoman, Leanne Randolph admitted,
the board does not consider how its regulations affect prices
at the pump. Now, they are almost entirely appointed by
Gavin Newsom. So this is Gavin Newsom's sixty five cent
gas tax increase. And all these people, according to Brian
(14:39):
Jones are wealthy, all of them handpicked by the governor
and directed by the governor. And there is no curiosity
as to how high this will drive the price of gas.
And this is why USC professor Michael MChE said gas
prices could be nearly eight to fifty a gallon by
(15:02):
twenty twenty six because you got two refinery shutdowns, you
have all these extra taxes. Now you're getting hit. You're
getting hit with two taxes on July. The first, the
two cent gas excise tax, the sixty five cent California
(15:25):
Air Resources Board tax. So it's a double tax. It
totals at least sixty seven cents. And it went up
for a vote and the vote was a yes would
mean you want to repeal the tax. A no says
keep the tax. The nose one twenty three to ten
(15:48):
to keep the tax. Seven senators abstained, afraid, cowards, they
refuse to vote. And and you know, tomorrow, I think
we'll spend some time. I see one note vote that
jumps out at me, the reprehensible Tom Umberg. I thought
(16:10):
we drove him out of office thirty years ago, and
he keeps popping back up. The turd that floats to
the top of the bowl. Tom Umberg out of Orange County,
I don't know what these people in Orange County. He
was the first guy we went after when we started
on the air. Here had to do with the three
strikes bills that he was undercutting back then, and look
(16:34):
at this, all these years later, he is now supporting
a sixty five cent gas tax hike. Tom Umberg in
Orange County, I don't know what you people are doing there. Well,
we got a lot of people who voted no. We
got a lot of people who voted to abstain, and
we will further publicize them tomorrow, all right, so you
(16:56):
could put that on your calendar now when we come back.
Speaking of cowardly, Karen Bass was supposed to testify in
this civil trial. The LA Alliance for Human Rights is
LA citizens and businesses trying to get the city and
the county and LASA to get the homeless off the
(17:18):
streets an account for the billions of dollars spent. Karen
Bass is afraid of that, and she hired eleven lawyers
to keep her from testifying. Did they succeed, We'll tell you.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Coming up.
Speaker 6 (17:34):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI Am
six forty.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
We're on every day from one until four o'clock. You
miss stuff, and we've had a lot today after four
o'clock John Cobelt Show on demand on the iHeart app
and first hour we did a thorough presentation on the
federal government. Trump administration. They pulled the fund for high
(18:00):
speed rail, the federal funding four billion dollars, take it away.
We had Tom McClintock on about that, the Congressman. We
also had State Senator Tony Strickland from Huntington Beach on,
so you can hear that. Our number one on the
iHeart Radio app. And we've been talking about the cowards,
the Democratic cowards who we will name tomorrow in the
(18:22):
in the state Senate, who maybe don't feel too good
about that sixty five cent gas tax increase that's coming.
Perhaps on July the first. You realize there's two gas
taxes that are coming within what is tay J's June
the fourth, so we've got twenty six days, twenty seven
days away from a double tax. If that sixty five
(18:47):
cent thing kicks in, then we're looking at all about
five point fifty five sixty a gallon.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
I don't know how long can this go on? How
long are you gonna pay this?
Speaker 2 (18:58):
It's all self inflicted by the legislature and Governor Newsom.
Another coward is Karen Bass. Karen Bass recently blocked an
audit into her inside Safe scam. That's her claim that
she's got this program that takes homeless people off the
street and puts them in old motels and hotels, but
(19:21):
she's not open to any any inspection of that particular program.
She actually blocked an audit, which means the thing is
failing and they're they're covering it up. The other day,
one well, one guy who's involved in the local politics said,
if you do the math, you will see that the
(19:42):
number of homeless that they claim they took off the
streets matches the number of homeless who are dead. So
that was the credit Karen Bass maybe taking.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
Is that?
Speaker 2 (19:53):
Yeah, she got she got a couple of thousand off
the street because they died. All right, good going, Karen.
We'll give you full credit for that, for killing those
two thousand people.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Excellent.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Matthew Umhoffer is an attorney for the LA Alliance for
Human Rights. They filed the civil lawsuit in federal court
saying that billions of dollars have disappeared by the City
of La, the County of La, and their joint project LASA,
the LA Housing Authority, and he wants to know where
the money went. And Bass is so scared. I've actually
(20:28):
never seen this. She hired eleven lawyers to defend her
and I'm not making this up. Eleven freaking lawyers just
to keep her from testifying. Umhoffer had issued a subpoena
and Bass doesn't want to testify because you're under oath
(20:48):
in a federal court you.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Have to tell the truth.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
So she's blocking an audit of inside Safe and she
doesn't want to be questioned by the judge. It was
Judge David Carter, And if they followed through pushing the subpoena,
it was going to delay the trial two to three months,
(21:11):
which is which is why they put up the roadblock.
Bass knew that nobody wanted to wait two or three months.
So finally Umhaffer, LA Alliance for Human Rights agreed to
withdraw the subpoena.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
Isn't it Isn't it terrible?
Speaker 2 (21:28):
And by the way, those eleven attorneys, they're all paid
with city tax money. That's you if you live in
the city of Los Angeles. You're paying for the eleven
attorneys who have surrounded Karen Bass to keep her from
having to testify under oath about her Inside Safe scam.
And she's using her power to block an audit of
her inside Safe scam. But please go ahead keep voting
(21:52):
for her. Umhaffer, the attorney, says, I think it's cowardly
for the mayor not to testify. She's coming to court
on multiple asians and shared talking points, but has never
undergone across examination. That's the beauty about being a democratic
politician in this state. You never have to answer a
hostile question because nobody in the lazy ass media goes
(22:16):
after Bass or goes after Newsom. So they live in
this perpetual bubble where they have sycophants and weirdos that
surround them and agree with them. The En Evangelists is
an attorney for the city, and she said that Umhaffer's
(22:43):
allegation of cowardice because Umhoffer said this in front of
the judge's uncalled for look virus Karen Bass and I
thought great things had happened with Inside Safe. I'd be
sfering hostile questions all day and night, because I would
(23:04):
be able to prove, hey, two and a half years,
billions of dollars of tax money. It's all working out
really well. Really, here are some people we took off
the street who didn't die. Just produce a few of those.
So inside Safe is a bust. And they're going through
(23:26):
all kinds of legal manipulations in order to avoid answering
really any of the charges that this La Alliance for
Human Rights is making. They're claiming that the milestones that
are supposed to be met and accounted for are not mandatory.
And besides that we have a state of emergency, so
(23:49):
we don't have to really do anything about the homeless
situation anything in this agreement. See, they had an original
agreement between the Alliance and the city that a judge
Brokern way back in twenty twenty two, and they were
supposed to live up to that agreement to get the
homeless off the street and account for the money, with
the exception being if there was some kind of city emergency. Well,
(24:11):
Bass declared an emergency after the Palisades fire, and that meant, hey,
we don't have to provide any evidence that our homeless
policies are working, or that the billions of dollars is
doing any good. Now, of course, the fire in the
Palisades has nothing to do with the mental patients and
(24:33):
drug addicts who are splayed all over the street. One
emergency has nothing to do with the other. But when
you hire eleven attorneys, that's what they do is they
make a connection a state of emergency. We don't have
to give you any reports, we don't have to meet milestones,
we don't have to answer questions, and Karen Bass doesn't
have to have to testify. So f you, there happened
(24:58):
six days of testimony in this case, and the Alliance's
lawyers have been quoting a consulting firm that found that
these fake homeless programs lack adequate data systems and financial controls,
leaving them vulnerable to fraud. So Bass's homeless programs have
(25:24):
already been looted.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
They're vulnerable to fraud.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
Oh, that means people can make up fake nonprofits and
steal your tax money, and you still have homeless people
dying in the streets. So here's a quote from Monica Rodriguez.
She's a councilwoman Apparently she and Tracy Park were going
(25:50):
to testify, but the city blocked those subpoenas as well. Rodriguez,
she's up in the San Fernando Valley as a councilwoman.
Frequently you this is the phrase Merry go round from
Hell to describe LA struggle to get accurate data from LASA.
Merry go round from hell. That's what criminals do.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
Now. I mentioned this yesterday.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
I grew up in the New York, New Jersey area,
and the place is rife with mobsters. It was Soprano
Land every day of the year on the news. I
have never seen eleven attorneys defend anybody for anything. I
don't think I don't think did Charles Manson have eleven attorneys?
Speaker 3 (26:35):
I don't think so.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
No, Ted Bundy, you have eleven attorneys. No, John Gotti,
Karen Bass has eleven attorneys, all paid for by you.

John Cobelt Show.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
Follow us on social media at John Cobelt Radio at
John Cobelt that's on social media. We're headed for thirty
thousand followers. Have you ever gone on a double decker airplane.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
Yes, I have.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
They're cool, aren't they very cool?
Speaker 3 (27:10):
So big?
Speaker 1 (27:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
Well, the one time we were on a double decker airplane, though,
our flight got delayed for three hours because somebody left
the water running at a coffee station on the top
deck and the water started leaking into the bottom floor
where we are and we were flying. It was the
family trip to go on a safari in Africa, and
(27:34):
we had to fly to Amsterdam and change planes there,
and some idiot left the water running, so water came
cascading and it took them three hours to figure out
to turn off the spigot upstairs. We ended up missing
our connection, which is all another thing. I'm sure that
was my only experience I realized having a double decker
(27:56):
doubles the chances of things going wrong. There's a double
decker flight British Airways.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
I think that's what.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
We took San Francisco to London and in the middle
of the flight they found somebody in the bathroom. They
have a I guess, pretty large bathroom club world cabin bathroom.
I guess that's probably the elite section of the plane. Yeah,
maybe an extra large bathroom area and they found somebody
(28:29):
who is dancing naked inside the restroom.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
Inside. Well how did they find him though?
Speaker 1 (28:36):
I mean he naked and dancing. See, now you thought
it was a guy right away.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
I did.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
Wasn't a passenger or was that part of the package
on the plane.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
In business class they provide you with naked dancers. Yeah, no,
you're right, it is a guy.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
That's funny. I just assumed it was going to be
a woman.
Speaker 3 (28:53):
No, I assumed it was a guy.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
It was a flight attendant. He was born British Airways
flight attendant.
Speaker 5 (29:02):
Okay, so it's an overnight flight, so he wanted to change, right,
so he took his clothes off and.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
Then and the drugs kicked it.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
Right, the alcohol, and he just started doing a little.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
He had turned the club World bathroom into a one
man disco.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
But did Okay, but.
Speaker 5 (29:20):
Don't you lock the door when you're in these restrooms?
I mean, who saw this with their camera?
Speaker 2 (29:26):
Somebody walked in on him. I guess maybe he didn't.
He didn't lock the door, he was He was standing
there naked. So they got him out of the bathroom
and they threw some pajamas on him because you know,
in first class. You did free pajamas, so they got
a pair of that, and then they put on restraints
and they stuck him in a first class seat for
(29:47):
the rest of the flight. Huge flight, four hundred and
seventy passengers and crew on board. And when they landed
in London they took him into custody.
Speaker 3 (29:58):
Was he having a meltdown?
Speaker 1 (30:00):
No, No, he was just dancing. I was just you know,
he's a mile high up in the air, and.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
Well, why do they have to put him in restraints? Then,
I mean, well, it.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
Might have been upset that they interrupted his dance, his moment. Yeah, yeah,
that's it. He wasn't finished.
Speaker 5 (30:17):
Well, I mean there's always a beginning, a middle, yes, right,
oh yeah, right, okay, okay, someone mixed the sleepy pills
with the happy pills.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (30:31):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
Anyway, coming up now after Deborah's news, Uh, we told
you about this yesterday. There's a real deadline on this.
I think June sixth, Yes, June sixth, Friday. The Southern
California I'm sorry I misspoke there, the South Coast Air
Quality Management District, you know about the California Air Resources Board.
(30:53):
We have a local version of these religious fanatics, the
South Coast Air Quality Management District. They are going to
be passing a regulation that's going to phase out gas
water heaters and gas space heaters. This would affect millions
(31:14):
of people across southern California. They took a run at
this a while back, and the public screamed at them
and they dropped the idea. Now they have another version
of the idea that gets you to the same place.
It's going to cost you a lot of money, and
eventually you will not be able to have a gas
(31:35):
or a gas space or water heater. All right, So
we'll talk with Laurie Davies, an assembly woman. She is
leading a coalition that is opposing this gas appliance ban. Yes,
these nuts suddenly turned on gas powered not just your car,
but your appliances. You know, they tried this in Washington
(31:56):
with Biden, but Trump has busted up that scheme, and
now we need somebody to bust up the scheme here
South Coast Air Quality Management District. You've probably never even
heard of them. Well, they get to rule their life,
rule your life. Debra Mark Live in the KFI twenty
