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.
Speaker 1 (00:06):
We're on from one until four. You should know that.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Then after four o'clock you say, oh, I was busy,
I have this job. After four o'clock you can hear
the whole show over and over again on the iHeart
app John Cobelt Show on demand. That's how you do it.
This hour, two rounds of the Moistline at twenty and fifty.
After the hour, we're also going to give away a
thousand dollars. It's very busy and up first starring Royal
(00:30):
Oaks from ABC News. The Trump trial went on today
and there was some emotion, some tears. Hope Hicks, who's
one of Trump's top advisors. We remember meeting Hope Hicks
during the twenty six campaign and very nice woman, and
she was quite emotionally upset.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
I hear today.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
It's kind of hard to follow this trial, Royal, because
there's no television obviously, there's no audio. You just get
little blurbs, you know, if you go on the New
York Times website, they give you a paragraph or two
at a time, or if you listen to cable news.
They had little dispatches, a few lines at a time.
You really can't get a sense of what's going on
(01:12):
all day, but maybe you can help us out what happened.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
Well, John, to boil it down. The first couple of
weeks of the DA's case went pretty well for the DA. Essentially,
what they're trying to show the jury is that Donald
Trump was a groper and a liar, a philanderer, a
payer of hush money. So the problem for the DA
is that that doesn't have anything to do with the
actual legal components of the case. There are two crimes alleged.
(01:38):
One the Trump company said the money given the Cohen
was for legal fees. Actually it was to reimburse him
for bang off Stormy. And secondly, you violated the campaign
laws by not reporting one hundred and thirty grand as
a campaign contribution. That has nothing to do with the
character's fascination of Donald Trump, but it's an important setup
because in the next couple of weeks we're probably going
to see Michael Cohen. There's no smoking gun document John
(02:01):
where Cohen can point to and say, Okay, this show
is that Donald Trump knew he was breaking the rules
and he was falsifying the records, but Cohen's going to
say that's what Trump admitted in the meetings. And so
at the end of the day, the DA wants the
jury to look at both guys Trump and Cohen and say, oh,
they both got their baggage, but I believe Cohen more
than Trump, and that's going to justify a conviction.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
So that's what it comes down to, is whether the
jury is going to believe a guy who's up to
has been up to his neck and his own legal
problems and is not considered exactly.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Yeah, And the.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
Problem, the problem the DA has is, you know this
crime about the falsified records. You know, just Cohen has
such credibility problems. I mean, he's convicted of perjury and
so on. And the other problem is in terms of
violating campaign laws by not reporting one hundred and thirty, well,
maybe they can't prove that Trump intended to violate the laws.
Trump may not even been aware of these laws, and
(02:57):
maybe that isn't even a law violation. I mean, you
have to report a payoff because it helps the campaign.
What about buying a new suit to look good on
a TV debate? Ya has some baggage.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
That's what I don't understand, because all campaigns spend money
to try to suppress bad stories in some way and
to try to hype up good stories. I mean, every
political public relations team is paid to do that sort
of thing, to call a reporter and try to suppress
(03:29):
the story to influence the election. Everything a candidate and
the staff does influences the election. I don't understand why
paying one hundred and thirty thousand dollars to get the
dirty story out of the newspaper. Why why isn't that legal?
Why can't you do that if you're running for office?
Of course you don't. I mean everybody's everybody's got all
kinds of things they don't want told publicly about their lives.
(03:52):
If they're suddenly thrust into the public domain.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
I think your instinct is right. Your instinct is right there.
And that's why the DA is so desperate to really
paint Donald Trump in a very bad way, because they
know when they get to the heart the nuclear core
of their case, it's just not that strong. I mean, actually,
the Trump got a rare win from the judge this week.
The DA went to the judge and said, hey, if
(04:17):
Trump testifies we want to tell the jury all about
the fact that Trump's been found in contempt and he
has to pay nine thousand dollars. And the judge said, oh, no,
you can't do that. That would be horribly prejudicial and inflammatory.
The jury shouldn't know about that. John, If I hit,
we're having a cup of sanca with the judge in
his chambers, and I would say to him, are you
kidding me? You have any thought that this jury doesn't
(04:39):
call him every night and you know, open a cold
one and take a look at their own trial on
the internet and talk to their friends every time there's
a break. As you know you've said through a lot
of these sessions, the judge says the same thing with
the jury. Now, don't talk among yourselves, don't research it,
and don't go on the news, and don't go on
the internet. Well, you know they do, at least few
(05:00):
of them do, and they talk well, so they already
know about the nine thousand dollars content.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Why do so many people in the legal business play
pretend and go along with this fiction.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
I've always found it fascinating.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Because they yeah, because they've got a total bias. Most reporters,
I mean, studies show most of them, but ninety percent
are are registered Democrats, and so everybody has a real
act to grind. And that's why on your original point,
why the heck didn't the judge it's a state court,
so you can have cameras. You can't have cameras in
the Feds. Now, why didn't he say, you know, we
(05:31):
got over our OJ Simpson hangover, We're gonna left the
American public see this most important trial of the year.
But no, it's shut down. And as you say, you
get a little snippet you're a sketch artist and saw on.
But we don't get to see whope, pit catch, We
don't get to see credibility.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Yeah, it's believe a twenty twenty four. I'm looking at
a TV screen a sketch artist.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
Yeah, very very bad cartoon characters of Donald Trump and
the rest of them.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
It's a case that wants to put a former president
in jail while he's running to get elected a second time.
And I'm looking at a sketch. I can't even hear it,
let alone watch it. I just find I just find
all the formalities and protocols of the legal system to
be absurd.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
I think it's very artificial. And you know, looking ahead,
this judge originally said, well it was six seven, eight weeks,
you know, maybe mid June for a verdict. This is
like a train out of control going downhill. I predict John,
we're going to get a verdict by Memorial Day. I
think we're going to see Michael Cohen, the star of
the d Show, very soon, and you know they're going
to have the friendly questions. They get the first crack
(06:39):
at it, and they put him on and they're gonna say, okay,
now to to sort of preempt the issue, let's talk
about your past, mister Colin, You've had some legal issues.
And he's going to say, well, yeah, again into some
trouble because I was lying for Donald Trump. And then
he is going to try to look the jury in
the eye and say, you know, there is no smoking
gun document. But I'm here to tell you, you know
how much Donald Trump wanted to high this stuff, and
(07:00):
you only will you hide it in the corporate records
is to lie to say, oh, this is for legal fees,
not pay off to a porn star. And so he's
not going to write down my own.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
He's not going to write off right pay off to
a porn star and his business records. Jesus, that gets
in jail. That's stupid. All right, Tell me what was
Hope Pix crying today?
Speaker 3 (07:22):
Yeah, so it's weird. Normally when you break down on
the stand and you're crying, it's because you've just endured
by twenty minutes early rough cross examination, you've been shown
to be a liar. You know, just break down. You're
kind of emotional. Here she gets back on the stand
after a break. It hadn't been all that contentious, and
she just starts to cry because she was thinking about
the emotional element of working for Donald Trump at area
(07:45):
is sitting there. Obviously she really likes him. So it
wasn't triggered by any kind of okay, we've got your
type deal. But it actually helped I think Trump because
she tried to humanize him. She she had of course,
you know, you don't want this stuff coming out because
you're in a campaign. But also know he's a family guy.
He didn't want to have, you know, an awkward dinner
with Milani and all his family knowing he's sleeping with
(08:07):
some porn star. He didn't want that allegation out there,
So in a way, I think it was it was
a risk for the Day to put her on because
she's kind of pro Trump, and for her to cry
and be emotional about it, I think it was actually
a net win for Trump well.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
And and that's that's an puts an element of doubt
into the case because if the point of the charge
is to say he knew, he was trying to cover
it up, so it wouldn't affect the campaign, except he
also wants to cover it up so Malanie doesn't find
out and she doesn't go through all the public humiliation.
That is that is a legitimate reason to want to
pay money to bury the story.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Absolutely, and it gets back to your point earlier. The
fact is everybody knows, including these jurors, these campaigns, you know,
they obviously want to win, but it doesn't make it illegal.
I mean, for the last two weeks, all we've heard
is Donald Trump paid hush money. That ain't a crime.
And so the DA actually is in a little bit
of a hole going into the last couple of weeks.
(09:03):
They know they've got to hit a home run with
Michael Cohen, and it'll really boil down to how well
Donald Trump's lawyer does when he cross examines cope.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
All right, very good, Thank you, Royle, your bet for
a lot of people. You're the only source of what's
going on inside that courtroom. Royloks from ABC News on
the Trump Trial. All right, we've got we've got more
coming up. We've got to talk about how the bus
drivers did a sick out today because they're guy tired
(09:32):
of getting stabbed to death. And we got two runs
of the Moistline coming up as well.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
I guess it's time we do the Moistline eight seven
seven Moist eighty six. This week's rants from the audience.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
Go do it, Hey, Sean, thanks for calling a moistline.
I'm so excited to hear from you. Comcime.
Speaker 5 (09:57):
You know, people all.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
Upset about what's going on these college campuses and why
they're just being allowed, you know, to run a muck. Well,
what you gotta do.
Speaker 6 (10:05):
The donors start pulling the money plug, and parents who're
spending all this money to watch their.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Kids on TV protests had to go to school somewhere
else and pull their money plug.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
That'll make the universities. Wise up, you realize they got
to make a change.
Speaker 7 (10:16):
Trash does not pick up trash. No one has ever
seen trash pick up trash. Trash just hangs around with
each other.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Isn't it a little redundant?
Speaker 8 (10:29):
When Deborah Mark says.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
She's a weird vegan? Really a weird vegan?
Speaker 3 (10:35):
Is there any other time?
Speaker 7 (10:36):
I'm disgusted with these protests across all these different campuses
throughout the United States proclaiming genocide? There is none. Are
you believing a parents group on us that took billions
of dollars and kept the money, bought weapons and dug
tunnels and did nothing for their people.
Speaker 9 (10:56):
In nineteen forty are soldiers and mill terry were housed
in barracks with latrines also known as bathrooms, mess halls
known as kitchens. If it was good enough for them,
why can't we build barracks for the homeless?
Speaker 10 (11:14):
Can somebody tell me why these people aren't being charged
with astortion?
Speaker 6 (11:17):
Or is this in that if you don't do what
we want, we're.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Not going to go anywhere.
Speaker 5 (11:22):
I go to Walmart Sunday morning and I buy a
bunch of and the girl puts my order on a
carousel and puts two or three items in a bag,
turn a carousel, throw it in my car. I had
fifteen bags, two were empty, and they didn't charge me nothing.
I go to Staateer Brothers five minutes later down the
(11:45):
street and a charged me ten cents a bag. I
don't understand it.
Speaker 8 (11:49):
You know, for all these students that are yelling we
are Hamas and we are Palestinus, I.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
Think they ought to be put on a watchlist, both
their name and their face.
Speaker 11 (11:58):
If I were in charge, not only would those Columbia
students be expelled, they would never be able to get
it to Pilma, because you know what that's going to
be a tainted the Koma.
Speaker 10 (12:10):
These toddlers.
Speaker 9 (12:11):
Gather them all up, fit them on an airplane and
send them over to Gaza and they can fight with
Hamas if that's what they believe in. Get them out
of our country. They don't deserve to be here, and
they should be arrested and booted.
Speaker 12 (12:25):
Now it's our chance.
Speaker 6 (12:27):
Lock the doors, turn off the water, turn off the electricity,
and stop the food flow.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
That's how we deal with these kids.
Speaker 6 (12:35):
So to the dim wit protester at Colombia, that's whining
about food isn't available to you.
Speaker 7 (12:43):
No, it's available, you have to go to the dining facility.
Speaker 6 (12:46):
I don't believe the meal plan includes delivery services to
wherever you are parking your stupid squatting butt.
Speaker 10 (12:55):
Why do repellants not prevent the children from doing what
they are doing?
Speaker 3 (13:01):
Perhaps they are tetrists as well.
Speaker 13 (13:05):
They are our protests. How we mistreat the vagrance at
LA fundamentally all there's something they should protest about right right.
Speaker 12 (13:13):
Our front door.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
We see a guy taking a.
Speaker 5 (13:15):
Dump right in front of us.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
Protests that tell the city clean it up.
Speaker 14 (13:21):
These homeless people have more rights than the average tax
paying citizens. Now these terrorists and use cla have more
rights than the homeless.
Speaker 8 (13:30):
Go figure that in its duties. Isn't the FBI supposed
to keep watching with suspicious function of government agencies? Do
they have to be assigned to task or duty to
perform what they get suspicious? Maybe that certain entities are
insue's paying roll to look the other day, or resist
the investigations from constitutions, or had to become hamstrung by
(13:50):
the administration not to.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
Pursue a certain increase.
Speaker 8 (13:53):
Have we become to rock them to the core that
this nation is dying from internal disease. I'm unable to recover.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
Never, don't let that lady tell you about moving over
for the motorcyclist. Look, I drive on about one hundred
and fifty miles a day. I move over when I
see him.
Speaker 5 (14:09):
But most of these guys are a bunch of it.
I'm telling you right now.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
They don't give it, so you can just kiss my
They suck.
Speaker 5 (14:18):
I hate motorcyclists.
Speaker 9 (14:19):
Thank you for leaving your message, Please hang up, goodbye.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
They are bicyclists too.
Speaker 15 (14:29):
They just think they rule the world.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Sick sick of motorcyclist splitting lanes coming within three inches
of me.
Speaker 15 (14:38):
Oh, I know, and they go soul fast. And then
again they give the know the peace sign for those
who know no peace, No not. I never get that
because I never moved.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
But and the bicyclist now, they'll they'll pedal right down
the middle of the lane and they don't stop.
Speaker 15 (14:59):
They don't stop at stop signs.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
Nothing, no, And they're pedaling away, going nineteen miles an
hour in a thirty five zone. And I honk at them,
I give them a goodlow hawk and I want and
they get so angry and they glare at me.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
It's like, screw you, buddy.
Speaker 15 (15:15):
Yeah, there was an intersection, and of course I'm stopped.
It's a four way intersection in the bike rider they're
just going through and then I honk and then they
look at me. I've said this before. They look at
me like I'm the problem. I'm not the problem. I
did not go straight through the stop side. I stopped.
You're the problem. And the motorcycle riders got yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
They're the problem too, Yes, everybody else, U's the problem,
not me. Yeah, all right, when we come back, we're
gonna talk, among other things, Metro is that thing still
going on?
Speaker 1 (15:47):
The stick out? Yeah, stick out today because they don't
want to get stabbed anymore. What fuck this is like? Now,
this is a good protest.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
I'm in favor of the Metro workers not showing up
until the city throws all the crazy people in either
jail or a mental health hospital or a drug treatment center.
Those are your three choices. Otherwise, why would you drive
a bus for a living in Los Angeles.
Speaker 4 (16:13):
You're listening to John Cobelts on demand from KFI AM six.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Forty and we're on from one to t four and
then after four o'clock John Cobelt Show on demand. That's
the podcast version, same as the radio same as the
radio show. And you'll get that on the iHeart app
as well. Whatever you missed, we got another round of
the moistline coming up in just a few minutes. You
know who we're having on Monday?
Speaker 15 (16:37):
Who are we having on Monday?
Speaker 1 (16:38):
Jackie Lacy.
Speaker 15 (16:40):
Jackie Lacy's back.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
Yes, the La County DA for eight years, and she
ran for a third term and George gascon beater and
to this day, nobody knows how that happened.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
And well, I don't know.
Speaker 15 (16:55):
I think the situation with the husband may have had
something to do with it.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Yeah, yeah, I mean she was targeted by Black Lives
Matter protesters who were publicly claiming that she wasn't tough
enough on cops. And her house was surrounded by all
these protesters. They would come by at four point thirty
five in the morning, in the dark and make a
huge racket, all kinds of threatening sounds. And one time
(17:22):
her husband came out and I think he was in
law enforcement, wasn't he I think so? Yeah, And he
came out with a gun. Well, he ended up in trouble,
and then shortly afterwards he ended up I think having
a heart attack. Yeah, and he died. She lost the reelection,
and that unleashed the evils of Gascone. And Jackie Lacy
(17:45):
was an excellent district attorney and just shows you how
colossally ignorant much of the public is and how colossally
evil these activists are. Its just just terrible, terrible.
Speaker 15 (17:55):
People showing up at her house, you know, early early
in the morning.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
No, I remember seeing the video. It was still dark.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
I mean I and nobody, nobody stopped them. It's just anyway,
she now is endorsing Nathan Hackman, and she's gonna come
on the air on Monday to talk about that. Uh So,
anybody who voted for Jackie Lacy, Jackie Lacy says, go
vote for Nathan Hakman. I think we we uh the
uh well, I'm not gonna include myself in this. I
(18:25):
was gonna say we made our big mistake. I didn't
make it. I voted for Jackie Lacy all every time
she ran, uh And and she was a great district attorney.
And you people got your head up your ear ends
put in Gascona.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
The hell.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
Now on to today's absurdity. The Metro bus drivers are
being attacked and stabbed. Uh and and it's it's it's
really terrifying to be a bus driver because you're completely
at the mercy every time you stop the bus of
whatever whack job, meth addict, crack addict, heroin addict, fentonyl addic,
(19:02):
mental patience, schizophrenic, bipolar, criminal, child luster boards the bus.
You're supposed to be nice and say welcome sir, having
a good day, and then he pulls out a big
knife and stabs you in the chest. Well, the bus
drivers are sick of it. And so there was a
big there's a big sickout today. And I guess there
(19:24):
was supposed to be a lot of delays. Do we
know the practical consequences of this? Was there enough to
create create problem?
Speaker 7 (19:29):
I have not.
Speaker 15 (19:30):
I have not seen any problems created by this so
called sickout.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
They were expecting bus lines to be compromised due to
staff shortages. I mean, I got a list here of
probably you know, fifteen different bus lines. I don't know
how much of that actually happened.
Speaker 15 (19:46):
How many people are taking Metro these days?
Speaker 1 (19:49):
Well, yeah, because the passengers get stabbed too.
Speaker 15 (19:51):
It's not just the drivers.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
If everybody just stopped going on Metro buses. In fact
that you know that that's what ought to happen, as
everybody stopped going on them and they fixed this. They
just nobody ever puts enough pressure on these bastards, you know.
And Karen bass is the head of the MTA, or
she's the chairman of the Metro board and the mayor
(20:15):
of the City of Los Angeles. Isn't it amazing that
the City of Los Angeles and Metro are both disasters
and it has the same woman running both.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
How about that?
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Completely unqualified, in over her head, incompetent. And now you
got bus drivers and these guys don't get paid a
lot of money. It's not a lot of fun being
a bus driver. You've seen them.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
That's not a life you really want.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
But they're out there all day driving hours and hours
and hours, and they deal with the worst people in
the city, the craziest people, the sickest people, I'm talking
mentally ill, drug addicted criminals. Don't get paid much and
then they get stabbed. That's the thank you. And all
these people, well you talk about privilege, all these administrators
(21:06):
in their offices, air conditioned, six figure salary security. They
never have to worry about getting stabbed at work, No,
because they're in offices high in buildings with elevators and
security desks and all you know, and they eat well.
They can work from home or not work from home,
(21:29):
which is really what's going on. Metro Metro says that
bus operators are the face of Metro to more than
eighty percent of writers. They are the lifeblood of the
Metro organization. Well, why do they have to spill their
(21:50):
life blood because you won't get the city and the
county in order. It's really not just Bass, it's the
county supervisors, it's.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
Everybody in charge.
Speaker 14 (22:00):
Arge.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
How come all the crazy people are running everything? Just
watching all the coverage of the university protests this week,
every time they talked to the protesters, it was a
crazy person.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
Every time it was a crazy person. Every time I
saw a group chanting and marching and waving.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Their stupid signs and chanting their jimboree rhymes, It's like
they're all crazy people. How come the crazy people run everything?
Why is this? And they're not just crazy, They're not
just shouting and preaching nursery rhymes and going in circles.
Some of the crazy people are stabbing passengers and bus
drivers to death. And then you'll get a statement from
(22:43):
some spokeshole or somebody, some administrator with a long title.
You know, safety is our highest priority here at Matro,
highest priority. And then they sick a team of ambassadors
on the problem and that or team members. I heard
(23:05):
I heard another I think at one of the colleges.
The the phrase was team members, team members. No armed police?
What ended all the trouble at UCLA armed police? Same
thing at Columbia, New York. Armed police. Not only they
(23:26):
have guns, they got those cool flashbang toys, they got
rubber bullets, they got real They shoot projectiles at you,
and if they hit you, they really really hurt. You
get hit by one projectile, you want to go home
and cry to mommy. And that ends the protest. Same
(23:47):
same thing here. You have that you have the police
work in these metro stations. You have have police h
on some of these buses. And when you pick up
the crazy person, you put him away and lock him up.
And I gave three choices. You can put them in jail,
you can put them in a mental institution. You could
put them in a drug rehabit. That's the problem. There
(24:08):
you go, there's your choices. You have a fourth choice.
Let them keep going on the bus and killing people,
or on the train or hanging out at the train station. God,
when does this end? These are all stupid ideas. They're
easily fixed, easily fixed. We all know what the fix is.
(24:31):
And yet this weird group of jackasses that are controlling,
you know, whether it's Metro or the city of the county,
the supervisors, the city council people, these people who run
the agencies, they just blow gobs and gobs billions and
billions of dollars and people are still getting stabbed in
(24:51):
the neck and they're bleeding out on a sidewalk.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
The hell you can stop that in five minutes.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
Safety is our highest prior, you know, as mayor of
Los Angeles.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
This is unacceptable.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
Oh my god, I see her come out and give
one of those speeches with a big smile. It is unacceptable.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
Shut up.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
Well, I don't know, I guess you know, really, if
you're a bus driver, I don't know what else you
can do in life, but you got to you just
got to quit. Karen Bass is never going to protect you.
Nobody on the metro board is going to protect you. Nobody,
None of those administrators. They're just gonna lie and lie
and lie. They don't want to hire armed police, they
don't want any No. They think it's noble and wonderful
(25:41):
that we have mental patients and drug addicts and criminals
and child molesters running around terrorizing people.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
It's cool. I'm done, Yes, I am.
Speaker 15 (25:54):
Fifteen more minutes left. No exit bag by time you're
done with the get caught, Krozer not Krozer, Conway, will
Conway and Krozer to come in.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
I get anybody you want.
Speaker 15 (26:05):
I don't care, Okay, nice knowing, Yes, it's.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
Me in the exit bag and somebody will run the
Moistline when we come back.
Speaker 4 (26:13):
You're listening to John Cobel on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
We got Conway coming up in minutes. But first, the one,
the only, the Moistline eight seven seven Moist eighty six.
You can call for next week if you want eight
seven seven moist eighty six. Here are this week's submissions.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
Hey Sean, thanks for calling the Moistline. I'm so excited
to hear from you. To BAP time. What the hell's
at the homeless people? Geez, everybody's ripping everybody off. We're
just pale, stupid Briggan politicians urgings a wake up. President
Biden needs.
Speaker 10 (26:47):
To quicken the pace on his student loan forgiveness program.
Speaker 7 (26:50):
Let's say he starts with the students that.
Speaker 10 (26:52):
Were expelled from Columbia for protesting.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
I think what they should do is show the video
from the October seventh attack.
Speaker 7 (27:00):
On giant screens and full view of all these college encampments.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
I think that'll clear all the youthful idiots out pretty quickly.
Speaker 12 (27:09):
I've locked myself in my apartment because I'm protesting the
plastic straws getting stuck in the nostrils of the sea turtles.
Speaker 8 (27:17):
The thing.
Speaker 12 (27:18):
The thing is, I've run out of beer and pizza,
and I'm requesting humanitarian aid. Can you please send me
some beer and pizza while I protest for the sea turtles.
Speaker 13 (27:30):
You know Donald Trump always comes across as he's a
real tough guy.
Speaker 14 (27:33):
You know, he's a man's man.
Speaker 16 (27:35):
Well, I'd really like to see that judge hold him
in contemptive court, throw them into jail, and throw.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
Them in with a general population.
Speaker 11 (27:42):
Folks no longer that secret service people around either.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
Let's see how tough.
Speaker 8 (27:46):
You are, mister Donald.
Speaker 13 (27:48):
So I don't understand why the colleges can't just say, fine,
you can protest, but you have to go home every night.
We have to clean the campus, we have to protect
the buildings. So protest all day long, but there's no
camping on camp. I mean you have to pick control
of the private, private and public property.
Speaker 8 (28:06):
Who sinthing applies to the homeless?
Speaker 3 (28:08):
What have I?
Speaker 16 (28:10):
These colleges are being told to stand down by the
Democrat Joe Biden's cock Road administration. Distract, Distract, distract, Wake.
Speaker 6 (28:22):
Up from the river to the sea. We shall be free,
free of what they are pretty much treated as equals.
Israel even employed many Palestinians, and we're given voters' rights,
human rights. But unfortunately, when you let terrorists run your country,
you get what you deserve.
Speaker 16 (28:40):
This person, who probably treats white privilege, has been privileged enough.
Speaker 7 (28:45):
To be arrested eighty times.
Speaker 17 (28:48):
Can you imagine an inner city person or a poor
person getting away with getting eighty.
Speaker 5 (28:53):
Erect who'd lock them away for life?
Speaker 18 (28:55):
My son got an email from UCLA saying that he
has I've been admitted as a transfer student, one of
a very small percentage. I wrote them back and said you,
my son will never go there. I said a lot
of other things too, But this is a family chair.
Speaker 14 (29:15):
All of these campus protesters kids think they're so unique
and special. They don't realize that this happens every generation.
We saw with the Occupy protests, we saw with George W.
Bush or Wald War protests, we saw with Vietnam. It's
just a bunch of angry, young narcissists who want to
ruin life for everybody else because of their misplaced anger
(29:36):
at their parents.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
Ye, mommy and daddy, and now we all suffer.
Speaker 14 (29:40):
So Ivy League college is in.
Speaker 13 (29:42):
University are supposed to have the smartest people living and
working and learning.
Speaker 8 (29:46):
At these places.
Speaker 3 (29:47):
But yet they didn't learn from the Occupou movement.
Speaker 10 (29:50):
Those idiots protesters are to UCLA. Wanted vegan food, they
got long sin trees, So to UCLA, right, there's plenty
tweets for him.
Speaker 3 (30:01):
Go there, fill your belly, Thank you for leaving your message,
Please hang up good time.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
Zero support for the protesters zero from both the rounds
of the moistline. Not one person. Total shutout.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
All right eight seven seven moist steady six for next.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
Week eight seven seven moist stadty six not not one
answer to support from anybody in the audience for what
for this?
Speaker 1 (30:26):
For the protesters?
Speaker 5 (30:27):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (30:27):
Why why would there be figured it to be one nut? No,
because my contrarian one terrorist I.
Speaker 17 (30:34):
Have well, I have friends who are ultra conservative, you know,
like qan On and crap like that. And I got
friends who are you know, left of Cuba, you know, communists,
you know, no free no private property at whole that
whole run. So I called my I called my conservative friends,
and their idea was just going with the machine gun
(30:54):
and kill them all. And I'm like, okay, let me
call the left and see what's going on. Who you
gonna put you guys on hold and let me call
the left see if they got something else going on.
And they and and a friend of mine who's really
very very far left, and so are his two daughters.
He said the right wing has something correct about this country,
(31:15):
that that the far left, the woke kids, are going
to destroy this country because they it's a woke fest.
And if you don't show your woke on your social media,
you'll be canceled. And they're all afraid of being cancer.
They're all intimidated, they're all afraid of being canceled.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
Yeah, didn't go for the machine gun idea though, No,
I you know what rough for them?
Speaker 1 (31:33):
Look, it's it's an idea. What idea is that? It's
an idea?
Speaker 9 (31:38):
You know?
Speaker 17 (31:38):
But and I will say this, it would make things
stop overnight. But what's the price of that? Yeah, you know,
we lose not worth it, thousands of kids? Right, that's
not worth it at all. You know that people will
be very sad over that. Probably better ideas. We got
a full show tonight. We got one, two, three, four guests.
Speaker 1 (31:59):
Do you other names?
Speaker 3 (32:00):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
Do you care? Belly?
Speaker 17 (32:02):
I said, we got four. Alex Michaelson's probably one of them. Oh,
Dean Sharp's one, he's great. Oh, Steve Gregory's on and
Peter Lourie is a great handicapper.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
So we got four great guys.
Speaker 17 (32:10):
All right, Yeah, we're gonna figure out the Kentucky Derby
for tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
Okay, very good, ding dong.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
Oh, tell me who you're picking, so I should know
not to pick right.
Speaker 17 (32:21):
I'm I'm going with a long shot number fifteen and
if I bet two dollars on him.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
As soon as he leaves the gate, that horse is
going to do a cartwheel. So do not bet on
number fifteen. Fifteen is going.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
To be the loser because I'm piling up on him.
All right. Com way next, Ding dong with that horse.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
Cruz has got time with this fifteen Live the.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
KFI twenty four our newsroom.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
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
Can't. I am six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
You're listening to the John Cobelt Podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (00:06):
We're on from one until four. You should know that.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Then after four o'clock you say, oh, I was busy,
I have this job. After four o'clock you can hear
the whole show over and over again on the iHeart
app John Cobelt Show on demand. That's how you do it.
This hour, two rounds of the Moistline at twenty and fifty.
After the hour, we're also going to give away a
thousand dollars. It's very busy and up first starring Royal
(00:30):
Oaks from ABC News. The Trump trial went on today
and there was some emotion, some tears. Hope Hicks, who's
one of Trump's top advisors. We remember meeting Hope Hicks
during the twenty six campaign and very nice woman, and
she was quite emotionally upset.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
I hear today.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
It's kind of hard to follow this trial, Royal, because
there's no television obviously, there's no audio. You just get
little blurbs, you know, if you go on the New
York Times website, they give you a paragraph or two
at a time, or if you listen to cable news.
They had little dispatches, a few lines at a time.
You really can't get a sense of what's going on
(01:12):
all day, but maybe you can help us out what happened.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
Well, John, to boil it down. The first couple of
weeks of the DA's case went pretty well for the DA. Essentially,
what they're trying to show the jury is that Donald
Trump was a groper and a liar, a philanderer, a
payer of hush money. So the problem for the DA
is that that doesn't have anything to do with the
actual legal components of the case. There are two crimes alleged.
(01:38):
One the Trump company said the money given the Cohen
was for legal fees. Actually it was to reimburse him
for bang off Stormy. And secondly, you violated the campaign
laws by not reporting one hundred and thirty grand as
a campaign contribution. That has nothing to do with the
character's fascination of Donald Trump, but it's an important setup
because in the next couple of weeks we're probably going
to see Michael Cohen. There's no smoking gun document John
(02:01):
where Cohen can point to and say, Okay, this show
is that Donald Trump knew he was breaking the rules
and he was falsifying the records, but Cohen's going to
say that's what Trump admitted in the meetings. And so
at the end of the day, the DA wants the
jury to look at both guys Trump and Cohen and say, oh,
they both got their baggage, but I believe Cohen more
than Trump, and that's going to justify a conviction.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
So that's what it comes down to, is whether the
jury is going to believe a guy who's up to
has been up to his neck and his own legal
problems and is not considered exactly.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Yeah, And the.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
Problem, the problem the DA has is, you know this
crime about the falsified records. You know, just Cohen has
such credibility problems. I mean, he's convicted of perjury and
so on. And the other problem is in terms of
violating campaign laws by not reporting one hundred and thirty, well,
maybe they can't prove that Trump intended to violate the laws.
Trump may not even been aware of these laws, and
(02:57):
maybe that isn't even a law violation. I mean, you
have to report a payoff because it helps the campaign.
What about buying a new suit to look good on
a TV debate? Ya has some baggage.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
That's what I don't understand, because all campaigns spend money
to try to suppress bad stories in some way and
to try to hype up good stories. I mean, every
political public relations team is paid to do that sort
of thing, to call a reporter and try to suppress
(03:29):
the story to influence the election. Everything a candidate and
the staff does influences the election. I don't understand why
paying one hundred and thirty thousand dollars to get the
dirty story out of the newspaper. Why why isn't that legal?
Why can't you do that if you're running for office?
Of course you don't. I mean everybody's everybody's got all
kinds of things they don't want told publicly about their lives.
(03:52):
If they're suddenly thrust into the public domain.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
I think your instinct is right. Your instinct is right there.
And that's why the DA is so desperate to really
paint Donald Trump in a very bad way, because they
know when they get to the heart the nuclear core
of their case, it's just not that strong. I mean, actually,
the Trump got a rare win from the judge this week.
The DA went to the judge and said, hey, if
(04:17):
Trump testifies we want to tell the jury all about
the fact that Trump's been found in contempt and he
has to pay nine thousand dollars. And the judge said, oh, no,
you can't do that. That would be horribly prejudicial and inflammatory.
The jury shouldn't know about that. John, If I hit,
we're having a cup of sanca with the judge in
his chambers, and I would say to him, are you
kidding me? You have any thought that this jury doesn't
(04:39):
call him every night and you know, open a cold
one and take a look at their own trial on
the internet and talk to their friends every time there's
a break. As you know you've said through a lot
of these sessions, the judge says the same thing with
the jury. Now, don't talk among yourselves, don't research it,
and don't go on the news, and don't go on
the internet. Well, you know they do, at least few
(05:00):
of them do, and they talk well, so they already
know about the nine thousand dollars content.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Why do so many people in the legal business play
pretend and go along with this fiction.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
I've always found it fascinating.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Because they yeah, because they've got a total bias. Most reporters,
I mean, studies show most of them, but ninety percent
are are registered Democrats, and so everybody has a real
act to grind. And that's why on your original point,
why the heck didn't the judge it's a state court,
so you can have cameras. You can't have cameras in
the Feds. Now, why didn't he say, you know, we
(05:31):
got over our OJ Simpson hangover, We're gonna left the
American public see this most important trial of the year.
But no, it's shut down. And as you say, you
get a little snippet you're a sketch artist and saw on.
But we don't get to see whope, pit catch, We
don't get to see credibility.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Yeah, it's believe a twenty twenty four. I'm looking at
a TV screen a sketch artist.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
Yeah, very very bad cartoon characters of Donald Trump and
the rest of them.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
It's a case that wants to put a former president
in jail while he's running to get elected a second time.
And I'm looking at a sketch. I can't even hear it,
let alone watch it. I just find I just find
all the formalities and protocols of the legal system to
be absurd.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
I think it's very artificial. And you know, looking ahead,
this judge originally said, well it was six seven, eight weeks,
you know, maybe mid June for a verdict. This is
like a train out of control going downhill. I predict John,
we're going to get a verdict by Memorial Day. I
think we're going to see Michael Cohen, the star of
the d Show, very soon, and you know they're going
to have the friendly questions. They get the first crack
(06:39):
at it, and they put him on and they're gonna say, okay,
now to to sort of preempt the issue, let's talk
about your past, mister Colin, You've had some legal issues.
And he's going to say, well, yeah, again into some
trouble because I was lying for Donald Trump. And then
he is going to try to look the jury in
the eye and say, you know, there is no smoking
gun document. But I'm here to tell you, you know
how much Donald Trump wanted to high this stuff, and
(07:00):
you only will you hide it in the corporate records
is to lie to say, oh, this is for legal fees,
not pay off to a porn star. And so he's
not going to write down my own.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
He's not going to write off right pay off to
a porn star and his business records. Jesus, that gets
in jail. That's stupid. All right, Tell me what was
Hope Pix crying today?
Speaker 3 (07:22):
Yeah, so it's weird. Normally when you break down on
the stand and you're crying, it's because you've just endured
by twenty minutes early rough cross examination, you've been shown
to be a liar. You know, just break down. You're
kind of emotional. Here she gets back on the stand
after a break. It hadn't been all that contentious, and
she just starts to cry because she was thinking about
the emotional element of working for Donald Trump at area
(07:45):
is sitting there. Obviously she really likes him. So it
wasn't triggered by any kind of okay, we've got your
type deal. But it actually helped I think Trump because
she tried to humanize him. She she had of course,
you know, you don't want this stuff coming out because
you're in a campaign. But also know he's a family guy.
He didn't want to have, you know, an awkward dinner
with Milani and all his family knowing he's sleeping with
(08:07):
some porn star. He didn't want that allegation out there,
So in a way, I think it was it was
a risk for the Day to put her on because
she's kind of pro Trump, and for her to cry
and be emotional about it, I think it was actually
a net win for Trump well.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
And and that's that's an puts an element of doubt
into the case because if the point of the charge
is to say he knew, he was trying to cover
it up, so it wouldn't affect the campaign, except he
also wants to cover it up so Malanie doesn't find
out and she doesn't go through all the public humiliation.
That is that is a legitimate reason to want to
pay money to bury the story.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Absolutely, and it gets back to your point earlier. The
fact is everybody knows, including these jurors, these campaigns, you know,
they obviously want to win, but it doesn't make it illegal.
I mean, for the last two weeks, all we've heard
is Donald Trump paid hush money. That ain't a crime.
And so the DA actually is in a little bit
of a hole going into the last couple of weeks.
(09:03):
They know they've got to hit a home run with
Michael Cohen, and it'll really boil down to how well
Donald Trump's lawyer does when he cross examines cope.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
All right, very good, Thank you, Royle, your bet for
a lot of people. You're the only source of what's
going on inside that courtroom. Royloks from ABC News on
the Trump Trial. All right, we've got we've got more
coming up. We've got to talk about how the bus
drivers did a sick out today because they're guy tired
(09:32):
of getting stabbed to death. And we got two runs
of the Moistline coming up as well.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
I guess it's time we do the Moistline eight seven
seven Moist eighty six. This week's rants from the audience.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
Go do it, Hey, Sean, thanks for calling a moistline.
I'm so excited to hear from you. Comcime.
Speaker 5 (09:57):
You know, people all.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
Upset about what's going on these college campuses and why
they're just being allowed, you know, to run a muck. Well,
what you gotta do.
Speaker 6 (10:05):
The donors start pulling the money plug, and parents who're
spending all this money to watch their.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Kids on TV protests had to go to school somewhere
else and pull their money plug.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
That'll make the universities. Wise up, you realize they got
to make a change.
Speaker 7 (10:16):
Trash does not pick up trash. No one has ever
seen trash pick up trash. Trash just hangs around with
each other.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Isn't it a little redundant?
Speaker 8 (10:29):
When Deborah Mark says.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
She's a weird vegan? Really a weird vegan?
Speaker 3 (10:35):
Is there any other time?
Speaker 7 (10:36):
I'm disgusted with these protests across all these different campuses
throughout the United States proclaiming genocide? There is none. Are
you believing a parents group on us that took billions
of dollars and kept the money, bought weapons and dug
tunnels and did nothing for their people.
Speaker 9 (10:56):
In nineteen forty are soldiers and mill terry were housed
in barracks with latrines also known as bathrooms, mess halls
known as kitchens. If it was good enough for them,
why can't we build barracks for the homeless?
Speaker 10 (11:14):
Can somebody tell me why these people aren't being charged
with astortion?
Speaker 6 (11:17):
Or is this in that if you don't do what
we want, we're.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Not going to go anywhere.
Speaker 5 (11:22):
I go to Walmart Sunday morning and I buy a
bunch of and the girl puts my order on a
carousel and puts two or three items in a bag,
turn a carousel, throw it in my car. I had
fifteen bags, two were empty, and they didn't charge me nothing.
I go to Staateer Brothers five minutes later down the
(11:45):
street and a charged me ten cents a bag. I
don't understand it.
Speaker 8 (11:49):
You know, for all these students that are yelling we
are Hamas and we are Palestinus, I.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
Think they ought to be put on a watchlist, both
their name and their face.
Speaker 11 (11:58):
If I were in charge, not only would those Columbia
students be expelled, they would never be able to get
it to Pilma, because you know what that's going to
be a tainted the Koma.
Speaker 10 (12:10):
These toddlers.
Speaker 9 (12:11):
Gather them all up, fit them on an airplane and
send them over to Gaza and they can fight with
Hamas if that's what they believe in. Get them out
of our country. They don't deserve to be here, and
they should be arrested and booted.
Speaker 12 (12:25):
Now it's our chance.
Speaker 6 (12:27):
Lock the doors, turn off the water, turn off the electricity,
and stop the food flow.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
That's how we deal with these kids.
Speaker 6 (12:35):
So to the dim wit protester at Colombia, that's whining
about food isn't available to you.
Speaker 7 (12:43):
No, it's available, you have to go to the dining facility.
Speaker 6 (12:46):
I don't believe the meal plan includes delivery services to
wherever you are parking your stupid squatting butt.
Speaker 10 (12:55):
Why do repellants not prevent the children from doing what
they are doing?
Speaker 3 (13:01):
Perhaps they are tetrists as well.
Speaker 13 (13:05):
They are our protests. How we mistreat the vagrance at
LA fundamentally all there's something they should protest about right right.
Speaker 12 (13:13):
Our front door.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
We see a guy taking a.
Speaker 5 (13:15):
Dump right in front of us.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
Protests that tell the city clean it up.
Speaker 14 (13:21):
These homeless people have more rights than the average tax
paying citizens. Now these terrorists and use cla have more
rights than the homeless.
Speaker 8 (13:30):
Go figure that in its duties. Isn't the FBI supposed
to keep watching with suspicious function of government agencies? Do
they have to be assigned to task or duty to
perform what they get suspicious? Maybe that certain entities are
insue's paying roll to look the other day, or resist
the investigations from constitutions, or had to become hamstrung by
(13:50):
the administration not to.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
Pursue a certain increase.
Speaker 8 (13:53):
Have we become to rock them to the core that
this nation is dying from internal disease. I'm unable to recover.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
Never, don't let that lady tell you about moving over
for the motorcyclist. Look, I drive on about one hundred
and fifty miles a day. I move over when I
see him.
Speaker 5 (14:09):
But most of these guys are a bunch of it.
I'm telling you right now.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
They don't give it, so you can just kiss my
They suck.
Speaker 5 (14:18):
I hate motorcyclists.
Speaker 9 (14:19):
Thank you for leaving your message, Please hang up, goodbye.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
They are bicyclists too.
Speaker 15 (14:29):
They just think they rule the world.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Sick sick of motorcyclist splitting lanes coming within three inches
of me.
Speaker 15 (14:38):
Oh, I know, and they go soul fast. And then
again they give the know the peace sign for those
who know no peace, No not. I never get that
because I never moved.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
But and the bicyclist now, they'll they'll pedal right down
the middle of the lane and they don't stop.
Speaker 15 (14:59):
They don't stop at stop signs.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
Nothing, no, And they're pedaling away, going nineteen miles an
hour in a thirty five zone. And I honk at them,
I give them a goodlow hawk and I want and
they get so angry and they glare at me.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
It's like, screw you, buddy.
Speaker 15 (15:15):
Yeah, there was an intersection, and of course I'm stopped.
It's a four way intersection in the bike rider they're
just going through and then I honk and then they
look at me. I've said this before. They look at
me like I'm the problem. I'm not the problem. I
did not go straight through the stop side. I stopped.
You're the problem. And the motorcycle riders got yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
They're the problem too, Yes, everybody else, U's the problem,
not me. Yeah, all right, when we come back, we're
gonna talk, among other things, Metro is that thing still
going on?
Speaker 1 (15:47):
The stick out? Yeah, stick out today because they don't
want to get stabbed anymore. What fuck this is like? Now,
this is a good protest.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
I'm in favor of the Metro workers not showing up
until the city throws all the crazy people in either
jail or a mental health hospital or a drug treatment center.
Those are your three choices. Otherwise, why would you drive
a bus for a living in Los Angeles.
Speaker 4 (16:13):
You're listening to John Cobelts on demand from KFI AM six.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Forty and we're on from one to t four and
then after four o'clock John Cobelt Show on demand. That's
the podcast version, same as the radio same as the
radio show. And you'll get that on the iHeart app
as well. Whatever you missed, we got another round of
the moistline coming up in just a few minutes. You
know who we're having on Monday?
Speaker 15 (16:37):
Who are we having on Monday?
Speaker 1 (16:38):
Jackie Lacy.
Speaker 15 (16:40):
Jackie Lacy's back.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
Yes, the La County DA for eight years, and she
ran for a third term and George gascon beater and
to this day, nobody knows how that happened.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
And well, I don't know.
Speaker 15 (16:55):
I think the situation with the husband may have had
something to do with it.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Yeah, yeah, I mean she was targeted by Black Lives
Matter protesters who were publicly claiming that she wasn't tough
enough on cops. And her house was surrounded by all
these protesters. They would come by at four point thirty
five in the morning, in the dark and make a
huge racket, all kinds of threatening sounds. And one time
(17:22):
her husband came out and I think he was in
law enforcement, wasn't he I think so? Yeah, And he
came out with a gun. Well, he ended up in trouble,
and then shortly afterwards he ended up I think having
a heart attack. Yeah, and he died. She lost the reelection,
and that unleashed the evils of Gascone. And Jackie Lacy
(17:45):
was an excellent district attorney and just shows you how
colossally ignorant much of the public is and how colossally
evil these activists are. Its just just terrible, terrible.
Speaker 15 (17:55):
People showing up at her house, you know, early early
in the morning.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
No, I remember seeing the video. It was still dark.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
I mean I and nobody, nobody stopped them. It's just anyway,
she now is endorsing Nathan Hackman, and she's gonna come
on the air on Monday to talk about that. Uh So,
anybody who voted for Jackie Lacy, Jackie Lacy says, go
vote for Nathan Hakman. I think we we uh the
uh well, I'm not gonna include myself in this. I
(18:25):
was gonna say we made our big mistake. I didn't
make it. I voted for Jackie Lacy all every time
she ran, uh And and she was a great district attorney.
And you people got your head up your ear ends
put in Gascona.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
The hell.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
Now on to today's absurdity. The Metro bus drivers are
being attacked and stabbed. Uh and and it's it's it's
really terrifying to be a bus driver because you're completely
at the mercy every time you stop the bus of
whatever whack job, meth addict, crack addict, heroin addict, fentonyl addic,
(19:02):
mental patience, schizophrenic, bipolar, criminal, child luster boards the bus.
You're supposed to be nice and say welcome sir, having
a good day, and then he pulls out a big
knife and stabs you in the chest. Well, the bus
drivers are sick of it. And so there was a
big there's a big sickout today. And I guess there
(19:24):
was supposed to be a lot of delays. Do we
know the practical consequences of this? Was there enough to
create create problem?
Speaker 7 (19:29):
I have not.
Speaker 15 (19:30):
I have not seen any problems created by this so
called sickout.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
They were expecting bus lines to be compromised due to
staff shortages. I mean, I got a list here of
probably you know, fifteen different bus lines. I don't know
how much of that actually happened.
Speaker 15 (19:46):
How many people are taking Metro these days?
Speaker 1 (19:49):
Well, yeah, because the passengers get stabbed too.
Speaker 15 (19:51):
It's not just the drivers.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
If everybody just stopped going on Metro buses. In fact
that you know that that's what ought to happen, as
everybody stopped going on them and they fixed this. They
just nobody ever puts enough pressure on these bastards, you know.
And Karen bass is the head of the MTA, or
she's the chairman of the Metro board and the mayor
(20:15):
of the City of Los Angeles. Isn't it amazing that
the City of Los Angeles and Metro are both disasters
and it has the same woman running both.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
How about that?
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Completely unqualified, in over her head, incompetent. And now you
got bus drivers and these guys don't get paid a
lot of money. It's not a lot of fun being
a bus driver. You've seen them.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
That's not a life you really want.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
But they're out there all day driving hours and hours
and hours, and they deal with the worst people in
the city, the craziest people, the sickest people, I'm talking
mentally ill, drug addicted criminals. Don't get paid much and
then they get stabbed. That's the thank you. And all
these people, well you talk about privilege, all these administrators
(21:06):
in their offices, air conditioned, six figure salary security. They
never have to worry about getting stabbed at work, No,
because they're in offices high in buildings with elevators and
security desks and all you know, and they eat well.
They can work from home or not work from home,
(21:29):
which is really what's going on. Metro Metro says that
bus operators are the face of Metro to more than
eighty percent of writers. They are the lifeblood of the
Metro organization. Well, why do they have to spill their
(21:50):
life blood because you won't get the city and the
county in order. It's really not just Bass, it's the
county supervisors, it's.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
Everybody in charge.
Speaker 14 (22:00):
Arge.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
How come all the crazy people are running everything? Just
watching all the coverage of the university protests this week,
every time they talked to the protesters, it was a
crazy person.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
Every time it was a crazy person. Every time I
saw a group chanting and marching and waving.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Their stupid signs and chanting their jimboree rhymes, It's like
they're all crazy people. How come the crazy people run everything?
Why is this? And they're not just crazy, They're not
just shouting and preaching nursery rhymes and going in circles.
Some of the crazy people are stabbing passengers and bus
drivers to death. And then you'll get a statement from
(22:43):
some spokeshole or somebody, some administrator with a long title.
You know, safety is our highest priority here at Matro,
highest priority. And then they sick a team of ambassadors
on the problem and that or team members. I heard
(23:05):
I heard another I think at one of the colleges.
The the phrase was team members, team members. No armed police?
What ended all the trouble at UCLA armed police? Same
thing at Columbia, New York. Armed police. Not only they
(23:26):
have guns, they got those cool flashbang toys, they got
rubber bullets, they got real They shoot projectiles at you,
and if they hit you, they really really hurt. You
get hit by one projectile, you want to go home
and cry to mommy. And that ends the protest. Same
(23:47):
same thing here. You have that you have the police
work in these metro stations. You have have police h
on some of these buses. And when you pick up
the crazy person, you put him away and lock him up.
And I gave three choices. You can put them in jail,
you can put them in a mental institution. You could
put them in a drug rehabit. That's the problem. There
(24:08):
you go, there's your choices. You have a fourth choice.
Let them keep going on the bus and killing people,
or on the train or hanging out at the train station. God,
when does this end? These are all stupid ideas. They're
easily fixed, easily fixed. We all know what the fix is.
(24:31):
And yet this weird group of jackasses that are controlling,
you know, whether it's Metro or the city of the county,
the supervisors, the city council people, these people who run
the agencies, they just blow gobs and gobs billions and
billions of dollars and people are still getting stabbed in
(24:51):
the neck and they're bleeding out on a sidewalk.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
The hell you can stop that in five minutes.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
Safety is our highest prior, you know, as mayor of
Los Angeles.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
This is unacceptable.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
Oh my god, I see her come out and give
one of those speeches with a big smile. It is unacceptable.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
Shut up.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
Well, I don't know, I guess you know, really, if
you're a bus driver, I don't know what else you
can do in life, but you got to you just
got to quit. Karen Bass is never going to protect you.
Nobody on the metro board is going to protect you. Nobody,
None of those administrators. They're just gonna lie and lie
and lie. They don't want to hire armed police, they
don't want any No. They think it's noble and wonderful
(25:41):
that we have mental patients and drug addicts and criminals
and child molesters running around terrorizing people.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
It's cool. I'm done, Yes, I am.
Speaker 15 (25:54):
Fifteen more minutes left. No exit bag by time you're
done with the get caught, Krozer not Krozer, Conway, will
Conway and Krozer to come in.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
I get anybody you want.
Speaker 15 (26:05):
I don't care, Okay, nice knowing, Yes, it's.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
Me in the exit bag and somebody will run the
Moistline when we come back.
Speaker 4 (26:13):
You're listening to John Cobel on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
We got Conway coming up in minutes. But first, the one,
the only, the Moistline eight seven seven Moist eighty six.
You can call for next week if you want eight
seven seven moist eighty six. Here are this week's submissions.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
Hey Sean, thanks for calling the Moistline. I'm so excited
to hear from you. To BAP time. What the hell's
at the homeless people? Geez, everybody's ripping everybody off. We're
just pale, stupid Briggan politicians urgings a wake up. President
Biden needs.
Speaker 10 (26:47):
To quicken the pace on his student loan forgiveness program.
Speaker 7 (26:50):
Let's say he starts with the students that.
Speaker 10 (26:52):
Were expelled from Columbia for protesting.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
I think what they should do is show the video
from the October seventh attack.
Speaker 7 (27:00):
On giant screens and full view of all these college encampments.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
I think that'll clear all the youthful idiots out pretty quickly.
Speaker 12 (27:09):
I've locked myself in my apartment because I'm protesting the
plastic straws getting stuck in the nostrils of the sea turtles.
Speaker 8 (27:17):
The thing.
Speaker 12 (27:18):
The thing is, I've run out of beer and pizza,
and I'm requesting humanitarian aid. Can you please send me
some beer and pizza while I protest for the sea turtles.
Speaker 13 (27:30):
You know Donald Trump always comes across as he's a
real tough guy.
Speaker 14 (27:33):
You know, he's a man's man.
Speaker 16 (27:35):
Well, I'd really like to see that judge hold him
in contemptive court, throw them into jail, and throw.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
Them in with a general population.
Speaker 11 (27:42):
Folks no longer that secret service people around either.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
Let's see how tough.
Speaker 8 (27:46):
You are, mister Donald.
Speaker 13 (27:48):
So I don't understand why the colleges can't just say, fine,
you can protest, but you have to go home every night.
We have to clean the campus, we have to protect
the buildings. So protest all day long, but there's no
camping on camp. I mean you have to pick control
of the private, private and public property.
Speaker 8 (28:06):
Who sinthing applies to the homeless?
Speaker 3 (28:08):
What have I?
Speaker 16 (28:10):
These colleges are being told to stand down by the
Democrat Joe Biden's cock Road administration. Distract, Distract, distract, Wake.
Speaker 6 (28:22):
Up from the river to the sea. We shall be free,
free of what they are pretty much treated as equals.
Israel even employed many Palestinians, and we're given voters' rights,
human rights. But unfortunately, when you let terrorists run your country,
you get what you deserve.
Speaker 16 (28:40):
This person, who probably treats white privilege, has been privileged enough.
Speaker 7 (28:45):
To be arrested eighty times.
Speaker 17 (28:48):
Can you imagine an inner city person or a poor
person getting away with getting eighty.
Speaker 5 (28:53):
Erect who'd lock them away for life?
Speaker 18 (28:55):
My son got an email from UCLA saying that he
has I've been admitted as a transfer student, one of
a very small percentage. I wrote them back and said you,
my son will never go there. I said a lot
of other things too, But this is a family chair.
Speaker 14 (29:15):
All of these campus protesters kids think they're so unique
and special. They don't realize that this happens every generation.
We saw with the Occupy protests, we saw with George W.
Bush or Wald War protests, we saw with Vietnam. It's
just a bunch of angry, young narcissists who want to
ruin life for everybody else because of their misplaced anger
(29:36):
at their parents.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
Ye, mommy and daddy, and now we all suffer.
Speaker 14 (29:40):
So Ivy League college is in.
Speaker 13 (29:42):
University are supposed to have the smartest people living and
working and learning.
Speaker 8 (29:46):
At these places.
Speaker 3 (29:47):
But yet they didn't learn from the Occupou movement.
Speaker 10 (29:50):
Those idiots protesters are to UCLA. Wanted vegan food, they
got long sin trees, So to UCLA, right, there's plenty
tweets for him.
Speaker 3 (30:01):
Go there, fill your belly, Thank you for leaving your message,
Please hang up good time.
Speaker 2 (30:07):

Speaker 2 (30:27):
Why why would there be figured it to be one nut? No,
because my contrarian one terrorist I.
Speaker 17 (30:34):
Have well, I have friends who are ultra conservative, you know,
like qan On and crap like that. And I got
friends who are you know, left of Cuba, you know, communists,
you know, no free no private property at whole that
whole run. So I called my I called my conservative friends,
and their idea was just going with the machine gun
(30:54):
and kill them all. And I'm like, okay, let me
call the left and see what's going on. Who you
gonna put you guys on hold and let me call
the left see if they got something else going on.
And they and and a friend of mine who's really
very very far left, and so are his two daughters.
He said the right wing has something correct about this country,
(31:15):
that that the far left, the woke kids, are going
to destroy this country because they it's a woke fest.
And if you don't show your woke on your social media,
you'll be canceled. And they're all afraid of being cancer.
They're all intimidated, they're all afraid of being canceled.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
Yeah, didn't go for the machine gun idea though, No,
I you know what rough for them?
Speaker 1 (31:33):
Look, it's it's an idea. What idea is that? It's
an idea?
Speaker 9 (31:38):
You know?
Speaker 17 (31:38):
But and I will say this, it would make things
stop overnight. But what's the price of that? Yeah, you know,
we lose not worth it, thousands of kids? Right, that's
not worth it at all. You know that people will
be very sad over that. Probably better ideas. We got
a full show tonight. We got one, two, three, four guests.
Speaker 1 (31:59):
Do you other names?
Speaker 3 (32:00):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (32:01):

Dean Sharp's one, he's great. Oh, Steve Gregory's on and
Peter Lourie is a great handicapper.

So we got four great guys.
Speaker 17 (32:10):

Speaker 1 (32:13):
Okay, very good, ding dong.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
Oh, tell me who you're picking, so I should know
not to pick right.
Speaker 17 (32:21):
I'm I'm going with a long shot number fifteen and
if I bet two dollars on him.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
As soon as he leaves the gate, that horse is
going to do a cartwheel. So do not bet on
number fifteen. Fifteen is going.
