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.
Welcome to the show third hour. We're on every day
one until four after four o'clock. John Cobelt Show on
demand also on the iHeart app, same as the radio show.
Let's get Let's get right to it here, because there's
a lot I want to cram in. Carla Myle he
is a Republican assemblyment out of San Diego. He runs
(00:24):
Reform California, fighting all kinds of insanity that comes out
of Sacramento. And what he has is a series of
rallies scheduled all over southern California. And you can find
out where these rallies are going to be tomorrow go
to our Twitter, our ex site and you'll see we
have it posted at John Cobelt Radio. And two things here.
(00:48):
One is you sign a petition for the California Voter
ID Initiative. This passes, then everyone has to show ID
that can change things significant. You show ID when you vote.
Second thing, get some materials for no on Prop fifty.
Let's get Carl Toma on to talk about it.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Carl, Hey, John, how are you doing what's going on.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
I feel like a one armed juggler. A couple of
things that people should know is that they should check
their mailbox, not only for your special election ballot to
vote no on Prop fifty. Most people should have gotten
the ballot from the State of California by now, and
I'm urging you to get that ballot, vote no on
Gavin Newsom's corruptory districting scheme, and mail that ballot in
(01:35):
now today. Do not wait till election day that actually
puts your vote at risk of not being counted. I
urge everyone to do early vote to bank the vote.
But then secondly, you should have gotten a letter from me.
That's right. I've mailed one point five million copies of
the California Voter ID petition and that is arriving in
(01:58):
mailboxes literally started last week. It'll probably continue to hit
mailboxes through Thursday or Friday of this week, where you
can sign the petition, circulate it with your friends and
family and neighbors, and mail it back in. So check
the mailbox out. But I also am doing these events
up and down the state of California, and we're doing
(02:19):
a bunch in the KFI listening area tomorrow. We've got
them scattered through southern California in an empire. Los Angeles County,
Ventura County, Orange County, San Diego County will have multiple
events or locations where you can go and either sign
the petition or more importantly pick up a volunteer pack
(02:42):
and take it home and collect signatures. So if you
are interested, go to the website voter id Initiative dot
com voter id Initiative dot com. Check out the events
that we're doing tomorrow with John Cobelt, as well as
check out the petition that you can download in print
(03:03):
online if you can't make it to one of the events.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
And people can also pick up materials for the No
On Prop fifty campaign.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
What kind of materials that's correct?
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Tomorrow we will have lawn signs at my location in
the Inland Empire. I will be at San Bernardino Inland
Victory Chapel starting at one o'clock all the way through
seven point thirty at night, So those of you near
the San Bernardino Inland Victory Chapel stop by, and then
(03:35):
at the other locations we'll have palm cards for No
On Prop fifty. But if you can't make the events tomorrow.
Don't worry. We are doing events seventy two events between
now and election day on November fourth. The full event
list is at Voteridevents dot org voter Idea Events dot org.
And we'd love to see you at one of the
(03:56):
multiple events coming up in southern California.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
All right, we have our list. Well, we have the
list of all the events in southern California on our
Twitter x site at John Cobelt Radio. And then if
you live in the Inland Empire or La ventor Orange County,
San Diego County, there are multiple sites you could go
to and you could sign the petition to get the
(04:20):
voter ide initiative on the ballot. You can get your
own little kit, take it home with you and get
signatures on your own and also materials for no on
Prop fifty campaign materials. All right, Well, you got a
lot going on here. And because it's only a month
at yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
John, you've been covering this for the past several weeks.
There's a lot at stake. I mean, the politicians are
trying to eliminate the Citizens Redistricting Commission, seizing power from
the people for themselves to Jerry mander and corrupt the
process of drawing lines, and we can't let them ruin,
make worse I think they've already ruined, but make worse
(04:59):
a elections. So that's why we should reject Prop fifty.
But more importantly, let's fix it. Let's get voter ID.
That's why we need a million signatures. So this isn't
just about stopping something bad, it's about doing something good.
And that's why we're voting No. One Prop fifty and
we're also trying to get the million signatures for California
voter ID.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
All right, Carl, Well we'll talk very soon. All right,
keep the momentum, John, you.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
Ta to you tomorrow. Looking forward to having a big
crowd at all these locations.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
All right, definitely, I would give you a list on
the air here, but it would take too long to read.
I'll tell you this. In the Inland Empire, Carl's going
to be at the San Bernardino Inland Victory Chapel. They're
also going to have the Temecula Republican Party Headquarters, the
Corona Republican Party headquarters as well in La County, Santa Clarita, Pasadena,
(05:50):
Santa Monica, Torrance. These are either at a like a
Santa Clarita Target, Pasadena Target, Santa Monica, Ralphs, Torrance Walmart.
I know there might be multiple in these towns, so
we have to go to Twitter, go to X and
look at the list and you have the full address
and then you can pick up a petition to sign
(06:10):
right there to get the voter id initiative on the ballot,
or take home a kit or get materials to help
the campaign No on Prop fifty. In Ventura County, they're
going to be at the Thousand Folks Walmart. Orange County
is going to be testing at the Republican Party offices
Huntington Beach Walmart, Laguna Negel Walmart. San Diego County, it's
going to be at the Escondido re Form California headquarters
(06:33):
and the San Diego Republican Party offices. So go through
the whole list there and go and sign the petition
and take the petition kit home so you you can
get other people to sign and get the no on
Prop fifty paraphernalia.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
And we.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Got a lot of battles going on here because the
crazy people are just pubbling us right now, and they
are crazy. When we come back in sanity in Washington,
d C. The Democrats think that Trump and Epstein did
bad things, and they were trying to get Pamp Bondy
to admit it, and she started firing back about all
(07:14):
their personal scandals. We'll play that coming up.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
All right, So today Pamp Bondy the Attorney General, she
had the long blonde hair. She was called to testify
at a Senate hearing, and the Democrats went after her
about the Epstein case. They want to make it seem
like they know there's something huge to uncover about Epstein
(07:47):
and Trump and the girls, but so far nothing's ever
come out after all this time, but they're still good.
There's still I have no idea. I take no sides
in this. I have no opinion. I think so many
terrible things are obviously done and involving so many rich
and powerful people, and there's so much money that's probably
(08:09):
been spent to bury these secrets forever, and probably if
anybody spills the secrets, they'd get killed. So I have
no idea if anything will ever come of all this.
But hey, it's fun to bring up at a hearing
to try to embarrass the Attorney general, and so they
went after Pambondy over that, and she in turn started
going through some of the senator's scandals. Let's start here
(08:34):
with the Connecticut Senator Richard Blumenthal and Attorney General Pam
Bondi cut number five.
Speaker 5 (08:40):
You've just said this grand jury was liberal. We should
reform the grand jury process to ensure that the government
is not abusing its power and authority, and will require
transparency and accountability reforms at DOJ so that you will
and other Attorneys general be held accountable for these kinds
(09:00):
of decisions. Will you join me in supporting that kind
of reform.
Speaker 6 (09:05):
Senator Blumenthal, I find it so interesting that you didn't
bring any of this up during President Biden's administration, when
he was doing everything to protect Hunter Biden, his son.
And I think you just saw what Director Radcliffe just
released information. If I can finish answering the question, I'm
not going to yell over you. I'm not going to
get in the gutter with you. But information information that
(09:28):
the Biden administration told them not to investigate Hunter Biden's
involvement with Ukraine, and I'm not going.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
To be about other topics.
Speaker 6 (09:41):
Being in the military just to be elected as.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Senator, and he did. He did lie about being in
the military.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
And if you wonder why Trump picked up some of
the people he did for the cabinet, and they seemed
some people thought they were not qualified, no experience at
a left fie. He picked them based on how they
look on television in part, and whether they could fight
back really hard when under attack or he's under attack.
Here's a little more with the Connecticut Senator Richard Blumenthal
(10:11):
and BONDI.
Speaker 5 (10:12):
These kinds of mergers belie the claims that that President
Trump himself has made that this administration will stop big
corporate mergers that ultimately benefit the owners of those corporations
(10:34):
rather than consumers or ordinary everyday Americans.
Speaker 6 (10:39):
Senator, let me ask you you just you just gave
a list of many mergers. Can you talk to me
about the issue with these mergers.
Speaker 5 (10:49):
I do have a question in the merger that took place,
which merger you've listed American RESGBT. I understand that Brian Ballard,
longtime backer and head of the law firm where you were,
(11:10):
was instrumental in lobbying the Justice Department to drop that lawsuit.
It was dismissed, so it's not subject to a court review.
What conversations did you have with mister Ballard.
Speaker 6 (11:24):
Senator Blumenthal? I cannot believe that you would accuse me
of impropriety when you lied about your military sense.
Speaker 5 (11:36):
I am.
Speaker 6 (11:41):
Lieut dare you. I'm a career prosecutor. Don't you ever
challenge my integrity? I have abided by every ethics standard.
Do not question my ability to be fair and impartial
as attorney general and anything. Answer my former firm Ballard partner.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
You all right, yea, let's go to BONDI taking on
the Illinois Senator at Dick Durbin over Trump being in
the EPSTEIN flight logs.
Speaker 7 (12:09):
According to another whistleblower who made a protected disclosure to
my office, you pushed the FBI to review approximately one
hundred thousand EPSTEIN related records on an arbitrarily short deadline
in March, and the FBI was directed to flag any
documents that mentioned President Trump. Nothing came of that review
until July, when DOJ and FBI released an unsigned memo
(12:30):
stating quote, there's no incriminating client list. Why was the
July seventh memo unsigned?
Speaker 6 (12:36):
The July seventh memo came from the FBI and the
Department of Justice Director Patel answered those questions very clear.
And you know, Senator Durbin, I find it very interesting
that you refused repeated Republican requests to release the Epstein
flight logs in twenty twenty three and twenty twenty four.
You fought that did you take money from Reid Hoffman
(12:58):
campaign donations, who was a huge Epstein friend? Why did
you fight for years? Why did you fight to not
disclose the flight log Senator Darwin, I.
Speaker 7 (13:12):
Can tell you I did not refuse. One of the
senators here wished to produce those logs, and I asked
her to put it in writing, and she never did.
Speaker 6 (13:19):
Yeah, I think Senator blackbrind would quarrel with you on that.
Speaker 7 (13:21):
I will quarrel with you as to read somebody that
you mentioned. I never heard of Hoffman. So who gave
the arder to flag records related to President.
Speaker 6 (13:30):
Trump, to flag records for President Trump.
Speaker 7 (13:36):
To flag any records which included his name.
Speaker 6 (13:40):
I'm not going to discuss anything about that with you.
Speaker 7 (13:43):
So eventually you're going to have to answer for your
conducting this, and you won't do it. Today, but eventually
you will I yield.
Speaker 8 (13:49):
This, Chairman, mister chairman, Chairman, mister chairman, since a Senator
Durbin referred to me, I would really appreciate the opportunity
to correct the record, because Senator Durbin knows I repeatedly
asked for those flight logs, I brought up the subpoena.
(14:14):
You even shut down the committee because you didn't want that,
and you know I submitted that in writing, and you
continue to misrepresent that, and I am not going to
let that record stand.
Speaker 7 (14:28):
Okay, mister chairman, go ahead, Senator Derbott. I just want
to make it clear that the reason the committee business
ended was that your side invoked the two hour rule.
Point number two is I asked you if you want any.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Frisk stop here. You could see that nobody wants any
of this Epstein's stuff released because there's too many Democrats
and too many Republicans, and maybe too many presidents, and
too many wealthy people and too many campaign donors who
were up to no good with Epstein. So everybody has
got a reason and nobody's going to talk talk about why,
(15:01):
and they're just going to keep fighting about it because
it's you know, a good issue to campaign on and
distract the public from all the stuff that really matters.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
We'll talk more we come back.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
We're on every day one to four and then after
four o'clock the podcast John Cobelt's Show on Demand gets posted. Tomorrow,
the Dodgers take on the Phillies at Dodger Stadium, Game
three of the National League Division Series, First pitch, six
oh eight pm. Listen to all Dodger games on AM
five seventy LA Sports brought to you by a Saii
super Dry, Japan's number one selling beer at your.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Favorite bar or grocer. It was close.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
All right, you've got to hear this. This this is crazy.
I want you to remember five names. Five names. You
should actually write these down because something's got to be
done with these people. Four of them are completely incompetent.
The fifth one needs to start speaking out against the
other four. And I'm talking about the La County supervisors.
(16:09):
You're in La County. It's ten million people. Ten million
people live in the county. Each supervisor's district is two
million people. That's larger than a lot of states. They
are responsible for the complete disaster, a bad response, a
disastrously bad response to the fire in Altadena, and the palistates.
(16:30):
And here are the names, jenis Han, Holly Mitchell, hild
Us at Lease, Lindsay Horvath. They are disasters of County supervisors.
Katherine Barger is good, but she's got to start speaking
out against the other four because there was a story
here in the La Times. For some reason, the La
Times is incompetent at much of their journalism and seems
(16:55):
to cover mostly nonsense. But the fire they locked in
and for nine months they've been producing good stuff and
they have a great article here about La County's emergency response.
Now if I give you some descriptions, listen closely. This
is what they write. Agencies across La County for the
(17:15):
Big fire were overwhelmed. The emergency operations center was largely ineffective.
Some notification tools were not used or used often enough.
There was no single, clear, comprehensive voice on evacuations. I'm
not talking about the Altadena fire. This is the Wolsey
fire in twenty eighteen in Ballibu. The exact same criticisms
(17:42):
in twenty eighteen of the Wolsey fire are the same
criticisms in twenty twenty five of their response to the
Altadena in Palisades fire. Seven years they didn't fix anything,
and that's on the idiot's supervisory crew Janis Hahn, Holly Mitchell, Hildesali,
Lindsey Horvath. Their lack of their lack of competence resulted
(18:05):
in nineteen deaths on the West side of Altadena flat
out because there was no excuse. They were warned after
Wolsey that the whole system was in a dilapidated state,
that the system didn't work at all. They completely failed
in the Woolsey fire in twenty eighteen, and they completely
(18:28):
failed in twenty twenty five, and they failed in exactly
the same way. And it starts, first of all, and
this is where the supervisors have control. Funding in Chicago,
Cook County specifically, they spend one hundred and thirty two
million dollars a year on emergency management. One hundred and
(18:48):
thirty two million, five million people. We spend fifteen million,
and we've got ten million people in the county. Cook
County spends roughly nine times as much money they have
(19:10):
half the population. For emergency preparation nine times what they
spend here in La County. That's entirely on those supervisors.
Jennis Han, Hildesali's Holly Mitchell, Lindsay Horvat period. I don't
have time to look at the illegal alien budget, but
that's where this money goes. I don't have time to
look on the homeless budget. That's where the money goes.
(19:34):
Homeless people, illegal aliens, criminals, the holy trinity for these progressives. Meantime,
the city, the county burns. Let's look at New York
City where ten million people in LA County. New York
City's eight and a half million. New York City has
two hundred emergency management people. LA County is thirty seven.
(19:59):
Do you believe this New York City has two hundred
emergency management people. We have thirty seven. They have eight
and a half million. We have ten million people. We
have more people, and we have twenty percent of the employees,
not even twenty percent. So Cook County, Chicago area. New
(20:20):
York City has way more employees and spends way more
money than here in LA County.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
And we've got those people.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
That is incompetence, because that's that that means for the
last eight years, they've had a choice every year, are
we going to fund emergency management or not? And they
said no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no no.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Every year.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Jennis Han, Hilda Slise, Holly Mitchell, Lindsey Horvath didn't fund
emergency management. Why they had a terrible fire in twenty eighteen,
And it wasn't the first time, right, This new after
action report said the staff lacked clear chaining, clear training,
(21:16):
They lacked a clear chain of command. They struggled to
monitor the unfolding events. There was no coordination. They operated
with unclear, outdated policies and protocols. They simply didn't know
(21:37):
when to send evacuation warnings and orders. And of course,
in a lot of neighborhoods, the orders never came and
nineteen people burned to death. And here is the best
quote here. Thomas Cove is a geography professor at the
University of Utah. His specialty is emergency management. And this
(22:01):
is the quote. And people in the offices of Janis Hahn,
Holly Mitchell, Hillsalice, and Lindsay Horvath should listen to this.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
Again.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
Catherine Barger is competent, but she's got to speak up
and start ripping on the other four. Here's what Thomas
Kovi said. It seems strange that a county that oversees
ten million people would be saying, we need to train
people and we need to work on coordination and sort
out protocols. That's kind of what their job is. In
(22:37):
other words, one of the priorities for anyone who's a
county supervisor is what did I say before? Over and
over again, police and fire protection. Period. That's true for
a city council, a mayor, a governor, a legislature, a
(22:57):
board of supervisors. Top two things we want police protection,
fire protection. There's no excuse. They are incompetent, and they
spend their money on wasteful, stupid stuff. They shovel it
into that corrupt homeless pit where people are stealing money
(23:21):
by the millions. They shovel it into the illegal alien pit.
In fact, best news I read today is a Trump
administration who says two million people have voluntarily deported themselves
and they've arrested about a half a million. So Trump's
going to clean up the mess.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
But he can't.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
He can't manage the emergency response here. That's Han Mitchell
Saliz Horvath and Barger Barger, that's their job. They failed
at their job the way it was. They failed seven
years ago, they failed again and nineteen people died, and
we know about all the billions and billions of damage.
When is this going to stop? This shouldn't ever, ever,
ever happen. We spend a tiny amount compared to New
(24:06):
York City and Chicago, and we've got more people, more
people than New York, way more people than Chicago. They
have more employees, they're more effective at emergencies.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
Why what do these four do all day?
Speaker 2 (24:22):
What is janis Han, Holly, Mitchell, Hilldessalase and Lindsay four
of that do all day? Why are they in office?
Why do people vote for them? They are deadly incompetent.
They are so incompetent that people die and people suffer
a fiery death. Why and then they do the same
(24:42):
freaking report, and the reports tell you the same story
over and over again. And of course what they don't
tell you in these reports.
Speaker 6 (24:50):
Is who.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
Specifically fed up, who screwed up? Who is irresponsible, who
is drunk? Who's incompetent? Who can't who apparently can't read
or can't hear or can't follow orders or is too
stupid to understand what the protocols should be. Who didn't
write the protocols, who didn't prepare? But it all falls
on those five women, and they never ever ever are
(25:16):
held accountable. They're never held responsible. Nobody ever says boo
about these five and so they don't care their bulletproof.
Everybody feels like they're bulletproof. SIT counsel Karen Bass, Gatton News.
Everybody feels bulletproof that they could kill people, they could
destroy neighborhoods. They can just bulldoze the player, right, they
(25:36):
can start bulldozing residential neighborhoods now and put up apartment towers, towers,
just because that's what they believe in. They can do
whatever they want. They can withstand any criticism, any exposure.
It doesn't matter, all right, more coming up, you're listening to.
Speaker 4 (25:54):
John Cobels on demand from KFI A six forty.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
You know, normally I've got the shades down in here
because of the you know, the glare, but I'm thinking
maybe she eat the shades up just in case, you know,
plane gets loose. Her Bank Airport is only a couple
of miles away, and if some guy gets disoriented and
he can come crashing right into our building.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Here, one hard right, and it's yeah over.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
It's like I feel like I should get a red
flag and stand at the window just in case. The hell?
What is wrong with everybody? How do you not have
air traffic controllers?
Speaker 1 (26:28):
Sheeeese?
Speaker 2 (26:28):
Why weren't they exempted from this budget process? I don't
understand anything about anything anymore. So we got the podcast.
It's gonna be h on the iHeart app after four o'clock,
one hour you need to listen to. If you live
in a single family neighborhood in California, single family residents.
(26:56):
There's a bill sitting on Newsom desk. It's called SB
seventy nine. It came from the infected bowels of Scott Wiener,
the state senator who's an out and out communist, And
this is about overriding all local zoning. So that guy
next door sells his house, the developer can put up
(27:16):
a seven to nine story apartment building with no parking
next to your house. If you're within a half mile
half air mile of a bus or transit stop, or
a proposed bus or transit stop, then developers can come
in buy up properties and put seven to nine story
(27:40):
apartment buildings on them. This is for real. This is
as drastic as it sounds. It is as awful as
it sounds. It went through the legislature passed by one vote.
There are a lot of Democratic legislators who realize this
is a bad idea, and some of them hid from
the vote, but it passed. Newsome, he signs it. Then
(28:05):
every neighborhood that's within a half mile of a bus
or transit stop, which is a lot of neighborhoods in
LA and Orange County, just for starters, you could have
an apartment complex. And what they want to do is
make there'll be no parking allocated, no requirement, and they
want to force people into tubes, into trains and buses.
(28:29):
Because Scott Wiener, to his infected bone marrow, hates suburban living.
Hates you if you're a regular family of four and
you got kids, and you have a a lawn, a home,
a couple of cars, a swimming pool, all that violates
his moral code and he wants it out of the
(28:52):
state gone. No more single family homes, everybody in a box,
everybody in a tube. I mean maybe next he's gonna
We're gonna get marched. Maybe you know, agents will come
over the house and we'll be forced to board a
bus every day to go to work to comply with
Scott Wiener's communist Marxist fantasy. I wish I was engaging
(29:14):
in hyperbole.
Speaker 5 (29:15):
I'm not.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
You don't believe me. Listen to Susan Shelley in the
two o'clock hour of our show Today, second hour of
the podcast. She's from the Southern California News Group. She's
an editor, editorial writer, a columnist. She's also with the
Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association. See she explained it very well.
Second thing I just want to mention again before we go,
is that Governor news Some vetoed a bill that would
(29:40):
raise salaries for California state firefighters, the cal fire firefighters
no rais. He says, we don't have the money. California
firefighters are way underpaid. Starting salary fifty four thousand, department
(30:00):
starting salary eighty five thousand. To say this out loud,
I said, absurd. But with all the fires we have,
the long, long hours. This is not putting out a
building fire in a few hours. These are fires that
go on for weeks and months, and they also respond
(30:23):
to the floods and the earthquakes and all the other
disasters we have. They work for weeks straight without a
day off, long shifts, and you spend all those hours
fighting a fire, and you're breathing in all kinds of
hazardous materials and toxins, and it destroys your lungs and
immune system. And gevinor knew some things. They should their
(30:47):
pay should start at fifty four thousand. He actually veted it.
Now he is spending thirty five billion dollars on illegal aliens.
In fact, he's paying for every illegal aliens healthcare. And
he won't pay more than fifty four grand for a
state firefighter. Why he exists in office baffles me every
(31:09):
minute of my life. Why he is enforced out of
office for this sort of thing? This and the bill
to destroy single family housing, and I could go on
and on. The destruction is complete. How he runs for president?
Speaker 1 (31:30):
On this?
Speaker 2 (31:32):
We will be back tomorrow and we got Michael Krozer
Conway's Next Michael Krozer Live and the Can't Fight twenty
four hour Newsroom. Hey, you've been listening to the John
Cobalt Show podcast. You can always hear the show live
on KFI Am six forty from one to four pm
every Monday through Friday, and of course anytime on demand
on the iHeartRadio app
