The John Kobylt Show Hour 3 (02/11) - More on the useless federal spending that Pres. Trump and Elon Musk are cracking down on as it was revealed US tax dollars were used to pay for an Al-Qaeda terrorist's college education. The Chinese spy balloon that flew across the United States definitely had surveillance equipment on it. US tax money was used for gender transition surgeries in Guatemala. The Venezuelan government sent their own planes to take deported illegal immigrants back to their country.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Can't.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
I am six forty.
Speaker 1 (00:02):
You're listening to the John Cobel Podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Welcome to the show.
Speaker 1 (00:07):
We're on from one till four, so you already missed
two hours if you're just joining us. But there's a
there's a makeup portion of the of the show, and
that's John Cobelt Show on demand on the iHeart app.
It's the same as the radio show and that'll be
posted after four o'clock. Moistline is back this Friday, eight
seven seven Moist eighty six, eight seven seven Moist eighty six.
(00:30):
So you usually talkback feature. You know if you had kids,
maybe you have kids now, you know how long it
takes to save money for college. It's the number one
thing that you say for once you had the children,
(00:50):
right and dogs you for twenty years you have multiple kids, stuff,
or you got to take out loans and you know
how those loans go right interest rates. People end up
paying those loans for decades. However, in the United States
of America, if you're a member of al Qaeda, you
(01:14):
will get the government to pay for your college education.
More specifically, you will get us, the American taxpayer, to
pay for your college education. You're not going to believe
this story, but it's true. Do you remember Anwar al
ALACKI remember that name. He was an al Qaeda terrorist.
(01:39):
In fact, he was a central figure. He was a
spiritual guru for some of the terrorists and he directed
Nadal Hassan. He was the army psychiatrist who shot up
and killed thirteen people at Fort Hood, Texas, back in
(02:00):
two thousand and nine. So we're going back sixteen years now,
but you may if you were around then, you may
remember thirteen military people shot dead at Fort Hood. The
Obama administration killed al Alache. He got droned. They had
(02:26):
a drone that I guess fired a missile Adam but
turned him into a little black smudge on the pavement.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Say he was gone.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
They're only finding out now that this organization called the
US Agency for International Development USAID, they provided full funding
for Anwar al Alachi to attend college in Colorado, Colorado
State University. See Amar al Alachi was born here in
(02:58):
the United States. He was an American sea is it.
But what he did is he lied on his form
claiming that he was from Yemen, and they said, oh,
he's from Yemen, and This is what the woke progressives do.
They wanted to be inclusive, They wanted to be diverse.
(03:19):
They wanted equity and diversity. Equity inclusion means you have
to let in a certain percentage of terrorists into college
and pay for have the taxpayer pay for their education.
The form was dated way back in nineteen ninety and
(03:39):
it confirms that amar A Alaki was qualified for an
exchange visa and the USAID was providing full funding at
Colorado State University. He had gotten a visa from Yemen
even though he lived here in the United States and
was born here in the United States. The documents showed
that he fraudulently reported that he was born in the
(04:00):
Yemense capital of Sannah. He studied civil engineering at Colorado
State and when asked to list an address, you know
what the address was, he put in care of us
AID and Sonna. So somebody in the organization knew that
(04:22):
a lockey was pulling some kind of scam and gave
him a cover address. Fox News called Colorado State for comment,
no reply. He ended up with a bachelor's degree in
civil engineering from Colorado State. Then he went out to
work as a Muslim cleric in Denver, San Diego, and Virginia.
(04:46):
Moved to Yemen in four and was preaching at a
San Diego mosque in the year two thousand when he
first met two of the nine to eleven hijackers, Khaleid
al Mindhar and Nawaf al ams Osmi, so he gave
them some spiritual guidance. In two thousand and six, he
(05:09):
was arrested in Yemen on suspicion of holding terrorist ties,
and they viewed him as a terrorist sympathizer, and then
he had influence on the fort hoodshooter Nad al Hassan. Eventually,
the Obama administration had an authorization to capture or kill
(05:32):
him in twenty ten, and then they droned him to
death in September of twenty eleven. In fact, Obama at
the time said, the death of a lockey marks another
significant milestone in the broader effort to defeat Al Kaida
and its affiliates. Furthermore, the success is a tribute to
our intelligence community. But where was the intelligence community figure
out in nineteen ninety that this guy was a fake
(05:57):
when he was getting a four year college education paid
for with our teches And when you see these protesters.
I don't know if these are hired protesters. I don't
know if these are deranged government workers. But they're screaming
about USAID being severely well, they're firing almost everybody to
(06:23):
the point where it's almost being shut down. And you
hear that, well, this is foreign aid, this is going
for widows and children, people in poverty, people are starving,
people in this is what the money's been going for.
That's a cover story. I you know, I tell you
I was thinking about this today. The progressives really have
a good game that works because people are so it's
(06:46):
so easy to emotionally manipulate people.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
All you have to do is say these.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Children are hungry, these women are in danger, and it's like, oh,
we've got to help them, We've got to do something.
That's what the government is for. And they use that.
They use your compacts as a weapon against you. The
woke progressives here in La do it all the time.
That's how we end up with spending over a billion
dollars a year on.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Homeless to no avail. Same thing.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
People get emotionally manipulated. These organizations run by these thieving psychopaths.
They know it works. They know all they have. What
did they do as soon as Trump and must did
their thing a few days ago with usaid was the
first thing they did.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Well, this is money that is necessary. You're going to
get cost lives now, you know, these are weird.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
This is money that helps aid patients and starving children.
It's like, no, it's money that you use to send
a terrorist to Colorado State to get a civil engineering degree.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
That's what the organization was used for.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
You're not gonna believe this one either. There's something about today.
There's these unbelievable shocking stories. You remember the Chinese spy balloon,
of course, that floated across America for at least a week,
and the Biden and his administration did nothing. They should
(08:19):
have shot it down right away, and it floated came
from somewhere in the Pacific northwest, I think Canada, eventually
floated off the Carolina coast and only then did we
shoot it down. And it's spent, you know, a lot
of time floating near our sensitive military bases and nuclear facilities. Well,
(08:40):
it's always been a mystery what was really inside the balloon.
They said early on this probably was Chinese spy technology.
The Chinese would only admit to it being a weather balloon. Well,
now Newsweek is reporting that they were covered a satellite
(09:00):
communications module, sensors, and other sophisticated surveillance equipment, some of
which was inside a foam cooler. But here's the kicker.
The technology was from at least five American companies. We
(09:25):
sold the technology to China or somehow they got a
hold of the technology and they used it to put
in this balloon and floated over our military basis. But
that was our stuff up there taking pictures of our installations.
Although the government claims that all that information was ultimately
(09:48):
never sent back to Beijing, if you believe that, but
it definitely was used for spying. That was the intent.
And so now they're wondering, well, apparently this stuff all
commercially available, and you know, whether they bought it directly
or they bought it from a third party.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
There was a.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Something called a short burst messaging module called Iridium ninety
six oh two was among the tech equipment they recovered,
and that comes from a Virginia company, a global satellite
communications company called Iridium and Jordan Hassim is one of
(10:30):
Iridium's executives, and he told the reporters that the company
does not condone the use of its radios or modules
being used in ways it shouldn't be. What do you mean,
you don't condone it, but we don't condone that. Well,
it happened. Isn't there a way to make sure these
things don't work unless they're in the hands of the
right people. There's no way for us to know what
(10:54):
the use is of a specific module. They just sell it.
We need to know the module specifically. It could be
a whale wearing a tag tracking it. It could be
a polar bear, could be somebody hiking up a mountain.
They said, if they knew that it was being used
by Chinese spies, then it would it would work to
disable it. But that's that's our own that's our own
(11:18):
stuff coming coming coming back at us. By the way,
if you saw this story in the La Times today,
there's an Italian tech guy, an inventor named Marco Truzen,
and his house was destroyed in the Pacific Palisades. It
was a two story Spanish style house. He and his
(11:39):
family moved in there just a month ago, and as
he watched the fires unfold, he felt frustrated because he
has invented a technology at his Italian energy company which
could power something called water trees. These are inflatable water
tanks that stand almost forty feet tall. They look look
(12:00):
like a giant onion, and it's held together by steel
cables and with a steel pole and a concrete foundation.
Each one can hold one hundred and forty eight thousand
gallons of water. He think LA should should buy and
install about four thousand of these all over the place,
which which they look. They look pretty cool. There was
(12:21):
photos in the paper today or in the on the
website today. He said there only be about eighty thousand
dollars for each one, much less than a traditional storage
tank or reservoir, and they each each one of these
can release about eight hundred gallons a minute for three hours,
and he thinks you can install forty or fifty of
them in the palisades. Of course, there's been no word
(12:48):
on why they never filled the reservoir. You notice that
now that it's five full weeks and no word why
Genie Kinoniez, the head of the DWP, didn't have the
reservoir filled. There's no word whether the fire chief knew
that the reservoir was empty, whether Karen Bass knew it
was empty, no word that I apparently they never had
(13:10):
a meeting to discuss why do we have an empty,
huge reservoir right before a fire. I'm gonna mention this
every week, every day because all this there's been so
many stupid things that have been done, and then it disappears.
It goes into the One of my favorite new words
in the last few years has been the memory hole
where major events happened and then everybody seems to forget
(13:33):
it all at once because everybody's beenmbarded with all the
nonsense that comes through the media and the internet and
social media. Well, I'm not gonna I do not have
a memory hole. I remember everything, and I'm going to
remember this stupid reservoir that was never filled. And this
Italian inventor, Trusen, he says he was puzzled why they
(13:53):
left it empty. Yeah, and they don't offer an explanation
for five weeks and nobody forces them to explain it.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
That's what's fascinating. Nope, I mean you you.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
We played the clip a couple of times of that
guy who lost his house in the Palisades. We had
him on the air as a guest and he challenged
the DWP board to say something about why the reservoir
wasn't filled and nothing. Silence. Thank you, sir, thank you
for your input. That's that's all you get. I don't know,
(14:32):
not gonna put up with this forever.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM
six forty every day.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
We're on from one until four Conway coming up after
four o'clock and the moistline is functioning again eight seven
seven Moist eighty six, eight seven seven Moist eighty six.
So you use the talk back feature on the iHeartRadio.
Maybe you have something to say about all the bizarre
spending items that Musk and Trump are uncovering going through
(15:04):
the budget. I've been looking for lists. Here's a few things.
How many times during the show have I said today,
You're not going to believe this? Few You're not going
to believe this? Do you know we spent two million
dollars of your tax money on gender transitions in Guatemala.
(15:27):
That's a lot of chopping there. How much How much
does it cost per transition. I don't know, I don't know.
That's not a thing. Two million dollars. You get up
in the morning, you go to work, and then you
get paid at the end of the week. And you
looked at that little Federal income tax box. How much
(15:47):
money they extracted from your check, little tiny piece of
that part of the two million for gender transitions.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
Guatemalan boys who want to be girls, Guatemalan girls who
want to boys, and I gotta pay for that. Here's
a twenty million dollars. I'm not making this one up.
Twenty million dollars they spent to fund a new sesame
street show in Iraq.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Sounds like a comedy bit, doesn't it. No, this is real.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
This actually came from the White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
But why are we funding a new sesame street program? There?
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Can't they can't they have their own type of street
if they want one. Can't they have an Iraqi puppeteer
come up with a little you know, isn't there an
Iraqi cookie monster?
Speaker 2 (16:40):
I would think.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
This is from USAID, the same organization that gave amar
Al Alaki a free college education. How about this four
and a half million dollars to combat disinformation in Kazakhstan.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Who cares? What do I care? If the Kazakhs are disinformed?
You don't want that, John, How could you even tell.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
Who speaks Kazakh? Is that what they speak there? I
don't even know. How would you know if you speak
Kazakh that you're getting disinformation? And what is disinformation compared
to misinformation or compared to lies?
Speaker 2 (17:28):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Six million dollars for tourism in Egypt, well, you might
be interesting.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Yeah, I was supposed to go to Egypt, but I
think you don't. We have to spend six million dollars, right?
We know there's pyramids there, and I was going to
pay for it.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Myself, and there was really Yeah, I don't want you
taking any tax money. Then there's a whole list of
contracts that dose terminated, one hundred and sixty five million dollars,
thirty six consulting contracts, six different agencies, and they all
(18:09):
involved strategic communication and executive coaching. Those vague corporate buzzwords.
Nobody knows what they mean. That when I hear people
start babbling about strategic communication and executive coaching, I know
they're full of crap. Uh, fifteen million dollars to terminate
(18:30):
three DEI training grants.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Oh here's a good one.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
Forty five million dollars to cancel a DEI to cancel
DEI scholarships in Burma, Burma, that's out in Asia, is
it not?
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Have you been there? I have not. Don't go there.
Those poor people there are deserved. I'm not going to
tell you my my travel plans ever. Good because when
we're saying I do have travel plans, by the way,
I kind of want to know in advance. So well,
you've already been to one of the places that I'm going.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Yeah, I just I don't want to go the week
you're going. Oh, here we go. Two hundred and fifty
million dollars. They terminated one hundred and ninety nine contracts
across thirty five agencies, climate change services and climate change workshops.
I hate to break into all these all these crooks
(19:28):
and government. They probably know this though there is nothing
anybody can do to stop climate change. Going to a
workshop is not changing that. That's impossible. I had this
idea that you go to where and you're told what
to Uh what do you?
Speaker 2 (19:45):
What are you going to do about it?
Speaker 1 (19:50):
One hundred and ten million dollars to terminate seventy eight
contracts DEI non performing media and consulting categories. Stuff doesn't
even make sense, including one for groundwater exploration and assessment
in the Islamic Republic of Mauritania. You imagine the corruption
(20:10):
involved in all these bizarre contracts. It's it's it, and
it's got to be. Friends and relatives dream up these consulting,
these consulting ideas. It's like, we'll go to Mauritania. Yeah,
put groundwater explanation and you know, we'll go on a
junket there for two weeks. Soon.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
We need to be a consultant. What are we going
to consultant? That's a good question.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
If you were a consultant, who could you convince to
pay you millions of dollars on that vegan food company?
There you go, Oh, there's got to be some vegan
There has to be if you're if you're interested, uh yeah,
contact me. You're a little late, though, this is not
the week to be applying for those brands.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
True, I missed the bus. Uh yeah. Oh.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
This is this is good. Federal research office that tracks
the progress of America's students they're cutting nine hundred million
dollars the department because Doze decided there's no need for
its work. I looked, you know, the Department of Education
spends billions and billions of dollars every year. And that's
another one where people clutch their their hearts and they say, oh.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
You can't cut the funnig. It's for America's children, the
Department of Education.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
And I said to somebody the other days, do you
know what percentage of kids are not proficient in math
in the fourth grade? Seventy percent. Seventy percent of kids
are not proficient in English in the fourth grade. Seventy
(21:48):
percent of kids are not proficient in English in the
eighth grade, and it's gotten worse over the years. Seventy
percent of kids are not proficient in math in eighth grade.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
Either.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
You look at math and you look at English, and
more than two thirds of the kids are not proficient.
You know, somebody wrote the other day they can't even
read a menu. So we've had this Department of Education
since nineteen seventy nine. There was some kind of Jimmy
Carter brain fart, So we got forty six years of
the Department of Education. After forty six years, you have
(22:21):
seventy percent of fourth graders and eighth graders not proficient
in either English, no reading, reading, or math. Well, what's
the point of this, Well, so the way you should
you should, you should cut the entire or I would
think if we didn't spend one federal dollar in education,
you'd still have seventy percent of the kids not being
(22:43):
able to do math or read. You don't have to
spend tens of billions of dollars to achieve that that
miserable statistic, and it's never gotten better. That's what's fascinating.
I looked at this chart the other day, going back
to like nineteen ninety. That's thirty five years worth of
spending that they had because you go online and all
these numbers or summer. So it's like, after thirty five
(23:05):
years and the percentage of kids who can't read or
can't do math hasn't changed, Well, what are we doing?
Speaker 2 (23:16):
Here's another one, Musk. Musk's team.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
Terminated eighty nine contracts worth almost a billion dollars, including
a contractor who got paid a million and a half
of your tax money to observe mailing and clerical operations
at a mail center, what I could do that?
Speaker 2 (23:37):
Well, there you go. Maybe that's that's what you should
have been doing. I will take a lot less money, elon.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
A million and a half dollars and you just show
up and say, okay, so how do you mail stuff here?
Speaker 2 (23:49):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (23:49):
We just collect the mail and we put it in
a mail slot and then somebody comes and picks it
up out of the bin and yeah, yeah, I might
have some suggestions on how to make things better there.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Yeah. Uh, this is just.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
In fact, going back to the Education Department, the fourth
and eighth graders in America are still losing ground on
reading and math after COVID nineteen. So like the numbers
took a dive because we didn't teach our children for
a year and a half and those school Yeah, Zoom
school boy, was that the biggest mistake, the biggest bust
(24:29):
in American history? And two it was it would be
about three years now since they got rid of Zoom
School and the numbers still suck.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
More coming up.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
A six coming up in just a few minutes. You
may have heard the name Rick Grennell. I think his
name came up today. Rick Renell is in the Trump administration.
He's working as an envoy for Trump for all kinds
of special projects. He's helping to oversee the federal response
here in Los Angeles over the fires. I believe he
(25:10):
was ambassador to Germany during the first Trump administration. He also,
in addition to overseeing the fire response, he is overseeing
the deportation flights to Venezuela. Because the Trump administration resumed
flights Monday. Yesterday sent two planeloads of illegal aliens and
(25:33):
gang bangers. It's the first time in almost a year,
and about two hundred Venezuelans were sent home on flights again.
They're going after the criminals first, people who have been
arrested or convicted either here or in the home country
one way tickets. About a million people stormed into the
(26:00):
United States from Venezuela, a million.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
As you know.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
The trendy Iragua gang members were the most famous, and.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
They think there's also some Venezuelans.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
About six hundred thousand of them had temporary protected status.
It was a way for Biden to legalize a legal
immigration and so now those people could be kicked back
as well. Venezuela sent its own planes from its national
(26:38):
airline Coneviasa to carry Oh, look at that.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
Look at that.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Trump got the Venezuelan government to use its own national
airlines to carry the deported immigrants, including members of the
prison gang Trendy Iragua. They were flown from lpass So
And this is according to the Venezuelan government. And there's
(27:10):
photos now New York Post is publishing showing some of
the Venezuelans stepping off the plane with their hands in
the air. It looks like they're happy to be home.
I don't know what we were doing to them in
immigrant prison. They look to be glad out of the
United They're glad to be out of the United States.
(27:33):
All right, it's working. Conway's here.
Speaker 4 (27:36):
I saw that they're treated like they just won the
Super Bowl. When they got home, they look very happy.
I got off the plane. There was a whole parade
for them, or a whole procession to welcome them.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
Venezuelan's finest.
Speaker 4 (27:49):
Hey, one of the funniest guys in the world, Brian
Reagan is coming on with us. Very funny stand up
comic and he's going to be performing here in Southern California.
So we'll give out some of the dates and you
can go see Ian Reagan. Very funny dude. Also flash flood.
We're looking at Thursday for the big rainstorm up to
three inches.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
John, I know it's a big deal.
Speaker 4 (28:08):
You know, Well, we haven't had a disaster in about
two weeks and now it sucks. And then that plane
yesterday that crashed in Arizona was Motley Cruz plane and
I guess was it Vince Neil. His girlfriend was on
the plane, but the pilot was killed. That was a
horrible accident. It seems to come in waves. We had
(28:29):
fires and we had plane accidents.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
Yeah. I don't know what's next.
Speaker 4 (28:34):
Fluds, yeah, yeah, right, yeah, floods, fludgs and then earthquakes
and we're due for an earthquake, another pandemic or two
before the end of the year.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
It's been thirty one years we'due for a quake.
Speaker 4 (28:45):
And then we have I don't know whatever is coming
out of Washington.

seven seven Moist eighty six, eight seven seven Moist eighty six.
(00:30):
So you usually talkback feature. You know if you had kids,
maybe you have kids now, you know how long it
takes to save money for college. It's the number one
thing that you say for once you had the children,
(00:50):
right and dogs you for twenty years you have multiple kids, stuff,
or you got to take out loans and you know
how those loans go right interest rates. People end up
paying those loans for decades. However, in the United States
of America, if you're a member of al Qaeda, you
(01:14):
will get the government to pay for your college education.
More specifically, you will get us, the American taxpayer, to
pay for your college education. You're not going to believe
this story, but it's true. Do you remember Anwar al
ALACKI remember that name. He was an al Qaeda terrorist.
(01:39):
In fact, he was a central figure. He was a
spiritual guru for some of the terrorists and he directed
Nadal Hassan. He was the army psychiatrist who shot up
and killed thirteen people at Fort Hood, Texas, back in
(02:00):
two thousand and nine. So we're going back sixteen years now,
but you may if you were around then, you may
remember thirteen military people shot dead at Fort Hood. The
Obama administration killed al Alache. He got droned. They had
(02:26):
a drone that I guess fired a missile Adam but
turned him into a little black smudge on the pavement.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Say he was gone.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
They're only finding out now that this organization called the
US Agency for International Development USAID, they provided full funding
for Anwar al Alachi to attend college in Colorado, Colorado
State University. See Amar al Alachi was born here in
(02:58):
the United States. He was an American sea is it.
But what he did is he lied on his form
claiming that he was from Yemen, and they said, oh,
he's from Yemen, and This is what the woke progressives do.
They wanted to be inclusive, They wanted to be diverse.
(03:19):
They wanted equity and diversity. Equity inclusion means you have
to let in a certain percentage of terrorists into college
and pay for have the taxpayer pay for their education.
The form was dated way back in nineteen ninety and
(03:39):
it confirms that amar A Alaki was qualified for an
exchange visa and the USAID was providing full funding at
Colorado State University. He had gotten a visa from Yemen
even though he lived here in the United States and
was born here in the United States. The documents showed
that he fraudulently reported that he was born in the
(04:00):
Yemense capital of Sannah. He studied civil engineering at Colorado
State and when asked to list an address, you know
what the address was, he put in care of us
AID and Sonna. So somebody in the organization knew that
(04:22):
a lockey was pulling some kind of scam and gave
him a cover address. Fox News called Colorado State for comment,
no reply. He ended up with a bachelor's degree in
civil engineering from Colorado State. Then he went out to
work as a Muslim cleric in Denver, San Diego, and Virginia.
(04:46):
Moved to Yemen in four and was preaching at a
San Diego mosque in the year two thousand when he
first met two of the nine to eleven hijackers, Khaleid
al Mindhar and Nawaf al ams Osmi, so he gave
them some spiritual guidance. In two thousand and six, he
(05:09):
was arrested in Yemen on suspicion of holding terrorist ties,
and they viewed him as a terrorist sympathizer, and then
he had influence on the fort hoodshooter Nad al Hassan. Eventually,
the Obama administration had an authorization to capture or kill
(05:32):
him in twenty ten, and then they droned him to
death in September of twenty eleven. In fact, Obama at
the time said, the death of a lockey marks another
significant milestone in the broader effort to defeat Al Kaida
and its affiliates. Furthermore, the success is a tribute to
our intelligence community. But where was the intelligence community figure
out in nineteen ninety that this guy was a fake
(05:57):
when he was getting a four year college education paid
for with our teches And when you see these protesters.
I don't know if these are hired protesters. I don't
know if these are deranged government workers. But they're screaming
about USAID being severely well, they're firing almost everybody to
(06:23):
the point where it's almost being shut down. And you
hear that, well, this is foreign aid, this is going
for widows and children, people in poverty, people are starving,
people in this is what the money's been going for.
That's a cover story. I you know, I tell you
I was thinking about this today. The progressives really have
a good game that works because people are so it's
(06:46):
so easy to emotionally manipulate people.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
All you have to do is say these.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Children are hungry, these women are in danger, and it's like, oh,
we've got to help them, We've got to do something.
That's what the government is for. And they use that.
They use your compacts as a weapon against you. The
woke progressives here in La do it all the time.
That's how we end up with spending over a billion
dollars a year on.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Homeless to no avail. Same thing.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
People get emotionally manipulated. These organizations run by these thieving psychopaths.
They know it works. They know all they have. What
did they do as soon as Trump and must did
their thing a few days ago with usaid was the
first thing they did.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Well, this is money that is necessary. You're going to
get cost lives now, you know, these are weird.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
This is money that helps aid patients and starving children.
It's like, no, it's money that you use to send
a terrorist to Colorado State to get a civil engineering degree.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
That's what the organization was used for.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
You're not gonna believe this one either. There's something about today.
There's these unbelievable shocking stories. You remember the Chinese spy balloon,
of course, that floated across America for at least a week,
and the Biden and his administration did nothing. They should
(08:19):
have shot it down right away, and it floated came
from somewhere in the Pacific northwest, I think Canada, eventually
floated off the Carolina coast and only then did we
shoot it down. And it's spent, you know, a lot
of time floating near our sensitive military bases and nuclear facilities. Well,
(08:40):
it's always been a mystery what was really inside the balloon.
They said early on this probably was Chinese spy technology.
The Chinese would only admit to it being a weather balloon. Well,
now Newsweek is reporting that they were covered a satellite
(09:00):
communications module, sensors, and other sophisticated surveillance equipment, some of
which was inside a foam cooler. But here's the kicker.
The technology was from at least five American companies. We
(09:25):
sold the technology to China or somehow they got a
hold of the technology and they used it to put
in this balloon and floated over our military basis. But
that was our stuff up there taking pictures of our installations.
Although the government claims that all that information was ultimately
(09:48):
never sent back to Beijing, if you believe that, but
it definitely was used for spying. That was the intent.
And so now they're wondering, well, apparently this stuff all
commercially available, and you know, whether they bought it directly
or they bought it from a third party.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
There was a.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Something called a short burst messaging module called Iridium ninety
six oh two was among the tech equipment they recovered,
and that comes from a Virginia company, a global satellite
communications company called Iridium and Jordan Hassim is one of
(10:30):
Iridium's executives, and he told the reporters that the company
does not condone the use of its radios or modules
being used in ways it shouldn't be. What do you mean,
you don't condone it, but we don't condone that. Well,
it happened. Isn't there a way to make sure these
things don't work unless they're in the hands of the
right people. There's no way for us to know what
(10:54):
the use is of a specific module. They just sell it.
We need to know the module specifically. It could be
a whale wearing a tag tracking it. It could be
a polar bear, could be somebody hiking up a mountain.
They said, if they knew that it was being used
by Chinese spies, then it would it would work to
disable it. But that's that's our own that's our own
(11:18):
stuff coming coming coming back at us. By the way,
if you saw this story in the La Times today,
there's an Italian tech guy, an inventor named Marco Truzen,
and his house was destroyed in the Pacific Palisades. It
was a two story Spanish style house. He and his
(11:39):
family moved in there just a month ago, and as
he watched the fires unfold, he felt frustrated because he
has invented a technology at his Italian energy company which
could power something called water trees. These are inflatable water
tanks that stand almost forty feet tall. They look look
(12:00):
like a giant onion, and it's held together by steel
cables and with a steel pole and a concrete foundation.
Each one can hold one hundred and forty eight thousand
gallons of water. He think LA should should buy and
install about four thousand of these all over the place,
which which they look. They look pretty cool. There was
(12:21):
photos in the paper today or in the on the
website today. He said there only be about eighty thousand
dollars for each one, much less than a traditional storage
tank or reservoir, and they each each one of these
can release about eight hundred gallons a minute for three hours,
and he thinks you can install forty or fifty of
them in the palisades. Of course, there's been no word
(12:48):
on why they never filled the reservoir. You notice that
now that it's five full weeks and no word why
Genie Kinoniez, the head of the DWP, didn't have the
reservoir filled. There's no word whether the fire chief knew
that the reservoir was empty, whether Karen Bass knew it
was empty, no word that I apparently they never had
(13:10):
a meeting to discuss why do we have an empty,
huge reservoir right before a fire. I'm gonna mention this
every week, every day because all this there's been so
many stupid things that have been done, and then it disappears.
It goes into the One of my favorite new words
in the last few years has been the memory hole
where major events happened and then everybody seems to forget
(13:33):
it all at once because everybody's beenmbarded with all the
nonsense that comes through the media and the internet and
social media. Well, I'm not gonna I do not have
a memory hole. I remember everything, and I'm going to
remember this stupid reservoir that was never filled. And this
Italian inventor, Trusen, he says he was puzzled why they
(13:53):
left it empty. Yeah, and they don't offer an explanation
for five weeks and nobody forces them to explain it.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
That's what's fascinating. Nope, I mean you you.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
We played the clip a couple of times of that
guy who lost his house in the Palisades. We had
him on the air as a guest and he challenged
the DWP board to say something about why the reservoir
wasn't filled and nothing. Silence. Thank you, sir, thank you
for your input. That's that's all you get. I don't know,
(14:32):
not gonna put up with this forever.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM
six forty every day.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
We're on from one until four Conway coming up after
four o'clock and the moistline is functioning again eight seven
seven Moist eighty six, eight seven seven Moist eighty six.
So you use the talk back feature on the iHeartRadio.
Maybe you have something to say about all the bizarre
spending items that Musk and Trump are uncovering going through
(15:04):
the budget. I've been looking for lists. Here's a few things.
How many times during the show have I said today,
You're not going to believe this? Few You're not going
to believe this? Do you know we spent two million
dollars of your tax money on gender transitions in Guatemala.
(15:27):
That's a lot of chopping there. How much How much
does it cost per transition. I don't know, I don't know.
That's not a thing. Two million dollars. You get up
in the morning, you go to work, and then you
get paid at the end of the week. And you
looked at that little Federal income tax box. How much
(15:47):
money they extracted from your check, little tiny piece of
that part of the two million for gender transitions.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
Guatemalan boys who want to be girls, Guatemalan girls who
want to boys, and I gotta pay for that. Here's
a twenty million dollars. I'm not making this one up.
Twenty million dollars they spent to fund a new sesame
street show in Iraq.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Sounds like a comedy bit, doesn't it. No, this is real.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
This actually came from the White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
But why are we funding a new sesame street program? There?
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Can't they can't they have their own type of street
if they want one. Can't they have an Iraqi puppeteer
come up with a little you know, isn't there an
Iraqi cookie monster?
Speaker 2 (16:40):
I would think.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
This is from USAID, the same organization that gave amar
Al Alaki a free college education. How about this four
and a half million dollars to combat disinformation in Kazakhstan.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Who cares? What do I care? If the Kazakhs are disinformed?
You don't want that, John, How could you even tell.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
Who speaks Kazakh? Is that what they speak there? I
don't even know. How would you know if you speak
Kazakh that you're getting disinformation? And what is disinformation compared
to misinformation or compared to lies?
Speaker 2 (17:28):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Six million dollars for tourism in Egypt, well, you might
be interesting.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Yeah, I was supposed to go to Egypt, but I
think you don't. We have to spend six million dollars, right?
We know there's pyramids there, and I was going to
pay for it.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Myself, and there was really Yeah, I don't want you
taking any tax money. Then there's a whole list of
contracts that dose terminated, one hundred and sixty five million dollars,
thirty six consulting contracts, six different agencies, and they all
(18:09):
involved strategic communication and executive coaching. Those vague corporate buzzwords.
Nobody knows what they mean. That when I hear people
start babbling about strategic communication and executive coaching, I know
they're full of crap. Uh, fifteen million dollars to terminate
(18:30):
three DEI training grants.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Oh here's a good one.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
Forty five million dollars to cancel a DEI to cancel
DEI scholarships in Burma, Burma, that's out in Asia, is
it not?
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Have you been there? I have not. Don't go there.
Those poor people there are deserved. I'm not going to
tell you my my travel plans ever. Good because when
we're saying I do have travel plans, by the way,
I kind of want to know in advance. So well,
you've already been to one of the places that I'm going.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Yeah, I just I don't want to go the week
you're going. Oh, here we go. Two hundred and fifty
million dollars. They terminated one hundred and ninety nine contracts
across thirty five agencies, climate change services and climate change workshops.
I hate to break into all these all these crooks
(19:28):
and government. They probably know this though there is nothing
anybody can do to stop climate change. Going to a
workshop is not changing that. That's impossible. I had this
idea that you go to where and you're told what
to Uh what do you?
Speaker 2 (19:45):
What are you going to do about it?
Speaker 1 (19:50):
One hundred and ten million dollars to terminate seventy eight
contracts DEI non performing media and consulting categories. Stuff doesn't
even make sense, including one for groundwater exploration and assessment
in the Islamic Republic of Mauritania. You imagine the corruption
(20:10):
involved in all these bizarre contracts. It's it's it, and
it's got to be. Friends and relatives dream up these consulting,
these consulting ideas. It's like, we'll go to Mauritania. Yeah,
put groundwater explanation and you know, we'll go on a
junket there for two weeks. Soon.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
We need to be a consultant. What are we going
to consultant? That's a good question.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
If you were a consultant, who could you convince to
pay you millions of dollars on that vegan food company?
There you go, Oh, there's got to be some vegan
There has to be if you're if you're interested, uh yeah,
contact me. You're a little late, though, this is not
the week to be applying for those brands.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
True, I missed the bus. Uh yeah. Oh.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
This is this is good. Federal research office that tracks
the progress of America's students they're cutting nine hundred million
dollars the department because Doze decided there's no need for
its work. I looked, you know, the Department of Education
spends billions and billions of dollars every year. And that's
another one where people clutch their their hearts and they say, oh.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
You can't cut the funnig. It's for America's children, the
Department of Education.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
And I said to somebody the other days, do you
know what percentage of kids are not proficient in math
in the fourth grade? Seventy percent. Seventy percent of kids
are not proficient in English in the fourth grade. Seventy
(21:48):
percent of kids are not proficient in English in the
eighth grade, and it's gotten worse over the years. Seventy
percent of kids are not proficient in math in eighth grade.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
Either.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
You look at math and you look at English, and
more than two thirds of the kids are not proficient.
You know, somebody wrote the other day they can't even
read a menu. So we've had this Department of Education
since nineteen seventy nine. There was some kind of Jimmy
Carter brain fart, So we got forty six years of
the Department of Education. After forty six years, you have
(22:21):
seventy percent of fourth graders and eighth graders not proficient
in either English, no reading, reading, or math. Well, what's
the point of this, Well, so the way you should
you should, you should cut the entire or I would
think if we didn't spend one federal dollar in education,
you'd still have seventy percent of the kids not being
(22:43):
able to do math or read. You don't have to
spend tens of billions of dollars to achieve that that
miserable statistic, and it's never gotten better. That's what's fascinating.
I looked at this chart the other day, going back
to like nineteen ninety. That's thirty five years worth of
spending that they had because you go online and all
these numbers or summer. So it's like, after thirty five
(23:05):
years and the percentage of kids who can't read or
can't do math hasn't changed, Well, what are we doing?
Speaker 2 (23:16):
Here's another one, Musk. Musk's team.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
Terminated eighty nine contracts worth almost a billion dollars, including
a contractor who got paid a million and a half
of your tax money to observe mailing and clerical operations
at a mail center, what I could do that?
Speaker 2 (23:37):
Well, there you go. Maybe that's that's what you should
have been doing. I will take a lot less money, elon.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
A million and a half dollars and you just show
up and say, okay, so how do you mail stuff here?
Speaker 2 (23:49):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (23:49):
We just collect the mail and we put it in
a mail slot and then somebody comes and picks it
up out of the bin and yeah, yeah, I might
have some suggestions on how to make things better there.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Yeah. Uh, this is just.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
In fact, going back to the Education Department, the fourth
and eighth graders in America are still losing ground on
reading and math after COVID nineteen. So like the numbers
took a dive because we didn't teach our children for
a year and a half and those school Yeah, Zoom
school boy, was that the biggest mistake, the biggest bust
(24:29):
in American history? And two it was it would be
about three years now since they got rid of Zoom
School and the numbers still suck.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
More coming up.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
A six coming up in just a few minutes. You
may have heard the name Rick Grennell. I think his
name came up today. Rick Renell is in the Trump administration.
He's working as an envoy for Trump for all kinds
of special projects. He's helping to oversee the federal response
here in Los Angeles over the fires. I believe he
(25:10):
was ambassador to Germany during the first Trump administration. He also,
in addition to overseeing the fire response, he is overseeing
the deportation flights to Venezuela. Because the Trump administration resumed
flights Monday. Yesterday sent two planeloads of illegal aliens and
(25:33):
gang bangers. It's the first time in almost a year,
and about two hundred Venezuelans were sent home on flights again.
They're going after the criminals first, people who have been
arrested or convicted either here or in the home country
one way tickets. About a million people stormed into the
(26:00):
United States from Venezuela, a million.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
As you know.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
The trendy Iragua gang members were the most famous, and.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
They think there's also some Venezuelans.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
About six hundred thousand of them had temporary protected status.
It was a way for Biden to legalize a legal
immigration and so now those people could be kicked back
as well. Venezuela sent its own planes from its national
(26:38):
airline Coneviasa to carry Oh, look at that.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
Look at that.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Trump got the Venezuelan government to use its own national
airlines to carry the deported immigrants, including members of the
prison gang Trendy Iragua. They were flown from lpass So
And this is according to the Venezuelan government. And there's
(27:10):
photos now New York Post is publishing showing some of
the Venezuelans stepping off the plane with their hands in
the air. It looks like they're happy to be home.
I don't know what we were doing to them in
immigrant prison. They look to be glad out of the
United They're glad to be out of the United States.
(27:33):
All right, it's working. Conway's here.
Speaker 4 (27:36):
I saw that they're treated like they just won the
Super Bowl. When they got home, they look very happy.
I got off the plane. There was a whole parade
for them, or a whole procession to welcome them.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
Venezuelan's finest.
Speaker 4 (27:49):
Hey, one of the funniest guys in the world, Brian
Reagan is coming on with us. Very funny stand up
comic and he's going to be performing here in Southern California.
So we'll give out some of the dates and you
can go see Ian Reagan. Very funny dude. Also flash flood.
We're looking at Thursday for the big rainstorm up to
three inches.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
John, I know it's a big deal.
Speaker 4 (28:08):
You know, Well, we haven't had a disaster in about
two weeks and now it sucks. And then that plane
yesterday that crashed in Arizona was Motley Cruz plane and
I guess was it Vince Neil. His girlfriend was on
the plane, but the pilot was killed. That was a
horrible accident. It seems to come in waves. We had
(28:29):
fires and we had plane accidents.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
Yeah. I don't know what's next.
Speaker 4 (28:34):
Fluds, yeah, yeah, right, yeah, floods, fludgs and then earthquakes
and we're due for an earthquake, another pandemic or two
before the end of the year.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
It's been thirty one years we'due for a quake.
Speaker 4 (28:45):
And then we have I don't know whatever is coming
