Speaker 1 (00:00):
Can't.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
I am six forty. You're listening to the John Cobel
Podcast on the iHeartRadio app. We're on from one until
four and then after four o'clock John Cobelt Show on
demand on the iHeart app. And next segment will begin
with the most entertaining story. Not just the drones flying
all over New Jersey and other places in the Northeast,
(00:22):
mostly in the Northeast. I guess there was some loose
here in southern California as well. But the sniveling little
Gerbils that work for the Biden administration trying to not
explain and not tell the truth while pretending that they
are explaining and telling the truth. And that's may Orcus
and Kirby and Trump called him out on it. Trump
(00:43):
says they know what's going on, they just won't tell you.
I guess must be some official secret that Trump can't
tell either. We'll talk all about it. And we've got
some clips of local politicians losing their mind. Oh, in
the Iran, the Iran drone ship is really out there.
That wasn't a fake story. But first Alex Stone ABC
(01:04):
News school shooting in Wisconsin, Madison, Wisconsin, and it just
happened a few hours ago, and Alex has the latest
Alex Aylor John, Yeah, and we confirmed with a number
of different sources a few minutes ago that the shooter
was a female, a teenage female, which that is going
(01:24):
to go against the typical narrative of an active shooter,
especially at a school, but oor a mall or at
a movie theater, that typically these highly populated area active shooters,
that they are not a teenage female. We think around
seventeen years old, with the exact age not known yet,
but initially today police said four had been killed plus
(01:46):
the shooter. That the numbers are wrong. Early on it
was two plus the shooter, with six others who were
hurt and the dead being a teacher and a teenage student.
Two of the injured are both students. They are critically
injured right now. But it was around eleven am local
time in Madison at the Abundant Life Christian School when
the nine one one calls began coming in just before
(02:08):
eleven am and the police chief.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
Saying officers arrived they found multiple victims suffering from gunshot wounds.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Now she was already dead the shooter when they arrived.
It's believed it was suicide. Police did not fire any
shots that they didn't as far as we know here
any shots as that they went running in that it
was already over by that point. The weapon used was
a handgun. The ATF is working right now to trace
that gun to figure out where did she get it?
(02:35):
Was her mom and dad's, was it stolen? Was it
from a friend that we don't know yet.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Officers located a juvenile who they believe was responsible for
this decease in the building. Additionally, the officers began administering
life saving efforts to anyone who was wounded and making
sure that those persons were transported.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
President Biden was briefed on the shooting. The FBI is
on scene helping out. Agents with the FBI are most
likely doing a lot of scrubbing of social media right
now that they are the experts in that to figure
out who was she and why did this unfold? The
chief saying he's been asked over and over again today
the why, He said, he just doesn't know that investigators
(03:18):
have not yet figured that out. Social Media quite often,
especially with a teenager, between a cell phone and the
social media accounts and text messaging apps that normally that
picture would begin to come together, which we may begin
to understand later on tonight. But the school posted on
Facebook prayers requested we had an active shooter incident today.
(03:38):
But he's saying when she died, the threat went away.
There is no ongoing threat to the community. But John,
this was not a small religious school like the one
in northern California that had the shooter week two weeks
ago where two kindergarteners were shot. That one only had
thirty students. This one had three hundred and ninety. It's
a K through twelve campus. It's quite large, and the chiefs.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
We're still going through collecting evidence, collecting information, making sure
that our community is safe from what is a sad
day for our community and for our country.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
So they have a lot of work left to do. Well.
One of the aspects of it trying to figure out
that motive, and he says they just don't know yet.
I heard it was a nine millimeter gun, which is
small by gun standards, so that's easy to get into
a school because there were no there were no metal detectors.
I mean take nine millimeters kind of what police typically
carry on their hips. About that size. You could put
(04:34):
it into your handgun, into your backpack, and nobody would know. Well,
I'd be real curious to see what her background is
because if it was a guy, I just assumed it
was a guy. I think we all did. Yeah, you
naturally just say he when there's one of these shooters.
And then then now we find out female. I figured
it would you. You'd end up checking all the standard
(04:54):
boxes for these teenage boys who become murderers. She could
check those same boxes. Yeah, you could look at maybe
the video games and the the oh, the feeling ostracized
and feeling like no, but you know, it's all the
normal stuff. But we don't know yet. Yeah, all right, Alex,
thank you very much for coming on. You got it.
Thank John Alex Stone, ABC News on the very rare
(05:18):
incident where a seventeen year old girl went into a
school and shot it up and there's there's no information
about her other than she's seventeen and she's a girl.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
They are going to be holding a news conference soon,
all right.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Well, if they've got any real information, because the last
news conference had virtually no information. So I'm not holding
out hopes onto the drones. This is just the most
ridiculous story. It's a very reminiscent of the stupid Chinese
balloon last year and when, and which the Biden administration
(05:58):
did nothing about. And that balloon was hovering over military
facilities and all kinds of sensitive government places, and it
was getting intelligence, it was taking photographs, and we didn't
shoot it down till it was in the ocean. So
now we've got hundreds of drones flying around and these
(06:20):
are not normal planes. You know, I cannot stay. I mean,
I'll play a Mayorcist thing. May Orcist makes me crazy
because he lied about the border every single day of
his life. He's this weird, little weasel gerbil. I mean,
he doesn't seem human. It looks like a hotel valet.
And he talks in bureaucratic well not jargon, because that's
(06:44):
what Newsom does. Just vague bureaucratics speak, borring phrases, endless,
looping around in a monotone lots of words, says nothing
of substance. I'll play We'll play cut number one, and
then I want to play some of some of the
reaction to the federal government refusing to give us detail
(07:08):
and refusing to give us the truth. This is majorcas
with George Stephanopoulos on ABC News this week, cut one.
Speaker 4 (07:15):
Who are seeing drones? And I want to assure the
American public that we in the federal government have deployed
additional resources, personnel, technology to assist the New Jersey State
Police in addressing the drone sightings.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
All right, some of these stop there and to what end?
And somebody'd you learn? I mean that was that was
an interview was done yesterday, yesterday morning. So now it's about, Oh,
I don't know, thirty two hours later, what you sent out,
(07:54):
the assistance, you set up, the resources, the officers, whatever
the hell the federal government sent to New Jersey. What'd
you find out? But drones are up there last night.
They've been up there for four a month, for four weeks.
So they keep talking about the resources that they've sent
and they don't give us any outcomes play some work.
Speaker 4 (08:13):
Some of those drone sightings are in fact drones, some
are manned aircraft that are commonly mistaken for drones. And
we do see duplicative reporting. There's no question that drones
are being cited. Let me set the record straight here, George.
There are thousands of drones flown every day. In the
(08:34):
United States, recreational drones, commercial drones. That is the reality.
This is Time twenty twenty three.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Stop stop, stop stop. But nobody saw drones flying low
over suburban environments in large numbers, flying in grids in
formation that if another aerial vehicle approaches them, they suddenly
turn off their lights and disperse. Nobody's every and he
knows that nobody has seen this stuff before. Go back
(09:06):
to what Trump said. In fact, let's play what Trump
said and cut number four.
Speaker 5 (09:10):
Can you comment on the.
Speaker 6 (09:11):
Drones that are flying at New Jure's reports and it
seems like there people have a big distance the government.
Speaker 7 (09:17):
The government knows what is happening there. Look, our military
knows where they took off from. If it's a garage,
they can go right into that garage. They know where
it came from and where it went. And for some
reason they don't want to comment, And I think they'd
be better off saying what it is. Our military knows,
(09:38):
and our president knows, and for some reason they want
to keep people in suspense. I can't imagine it's the enemy,
because it was the enemy they'd blasted out, even if
they were late, they'd blasted something strange is going on
for some reason. They don't want to tell the people,
and they should because the people are really I mean,
they happen to be over Bedminster. We want to know j.
Speaker 5 (10:01):
We're they're very close to Bedminster.
Speaker 7 (10:03):
I think maybe I won't spend the weekend in Bedminster.
I've decided to cancel my trip.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
Have you received an intelligence briefing on the drones?
Speaker 5 (10:11):
I don't want to comment on that.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
That means he has, and that's why he's able to
say confidently the government knows and the military knows, and
they could go in and get them whenever they want.
He wouldn't have said that unless he had seen an
intelligence briefing. But he's not going to admit to the
intelligence briefing. The hell's the big secret here? If it's
some sort of some sort of program they're working on,
(10:34):
well it's not a secret anymore because millions of people
have seen it. And here's another story. A massive Iranian
drone carrier was captured in new satellite images sailing in
the Persian Gulf this week. They had first seen it
leave its home port back in mid November, and a
(10:58):
commercial operator named max Art Technologies took satellite photos that
show three Iranian drone ships in the waters off the
country's coast. There was a politician in New Jersey who
said that there was an Iranian drone ship and that's
maybe where the drones are coming from. Uh it's called
(11:23):
the Shahed ba Gary and the Shahed Rudaki and the
Shahed Madavi off the bandar Abbas port in the Persian Gulf.
Who was representative Jeff Van Drew had told Fox News
that the drones were possibly being launched by Iran. I'm
going to tell you the real deal. Iran launched a
(11:45):
mother ship that contains these drones. It's off the east
coast in the United States. They've launched drones. Pentagon said
there was no evidence that Iran was responsible for the drones.
And now we have found the discovery of these three
drone ships, except they're in the Persian Golf. But we
(12:05):
have a culture where all these people Aleandro maywork is
he's lied every day for four straight years and he
still got paid. I don't know when they paid, government liars,
government spokes whole officials, but his check cleared, let's say
every two weeks for four years. Say he's gotten two
hundred checks, never got fired, never got publicly recommended, reprimanded.
(12:30):
It's always been good job, good day. Lying before Congress, excellent.
You lied to the Senate, you lied to the House,
you lied to the American people. That's what we hired
you for, is to lie to everybody. So he's just
doing he's doing what he's doing, right, he's getting a
reward for it. Are we coming back. There's one politician
(12:51):
in New Jersey not putting up with it anymore. His
name is State Senator John Bramnick, and he's then he's
convinced that the government knows. We'll listen to him when
we return.
Speaker 6 (13:05):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
All right, So Trump says that the Biden administration knows
what's going on with the drones. The military knows what's
going on, and they can take care of the situation
if they needed to. But he wouldn't admit if he
got an intelligence briefing. But it seems like he did.
Speaker 8 (13:30):
I think it.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Obviously, we pay these people, they work for us. They
should tell us what's going on. They know what's going on.
I don't believe John Kirby and Alejandro mayorc As. They
are professional liars, but a bunch of worms. Why do
people get into this line of work anyway, just to
stand up in front of a camera and bs people
a terrible existence? Here is a state Senator John Bramnick,
(13:55):
a Republican from Jersey. He went on News nation.
Speaker 9 (14:00):
Have a general belief in government, but this is taking
me to the end of my belief that government is
really being honest. Now there's been some apparently top top
secret briefings right with congress people. Now they come out
of that and I heard Josh Gottheimer come and the
representative and he said, well, I'm not getting a lot
(14:21):
of information, but I don't think it's a threat. So
my guess is there is information, but they're holding it back.
And now what you have is panic.
Speaker 5 (14:32):
Well, what could it possibly be.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Unless they're lying.
Speaker 5 (14:38):
That's the thing.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
They're claiming that it's not a foreign adversary and it's
not dangerous. Well, then you tell us what it is.
I mean, it could be. You know, defense contractors have
made this new super call drone and they're flying of
information because this is what's going to greet our next enemy.
(15:00):
Somebody gets out of line in the Middle East. Will
will send uh, We'll send a hundred of these all
at once, and these can be equipped with some kind
of missile and you could just blast away right Ah,
sir Hesbola gets out of at a hand or rondas
just say, just say it's it's not gonna bother anybody
in America. It's uh, it's a military It's got to
(15:22):
be a military secret. What would be the secrecy. Kathy Hokel,
the New York governor, is also upset. They had to
close some runways at Stuart International Airport. This is in
(15:43):
white planes New York. This is north of New York City,
but it's a major airport. In fact, I believe they
run a lot of illegal aliens uh into white planes
on government on government jets. It's it's partly a commercial
airport and partly a military airport. Well, the drones got
(16:07):
in the way and they had to shut down the runways,
and Hochel sent out a statement saying this has gone
too far. Runways were closed following a report from the
FAA about a drone siding at the airport. It closed
for about an hour. Hochel said the Biden administration should
(16:28):
give federal law enforcement support to the region to ensure
the safety of our critical infrastructure and our people. She
urged the state police to coordinate with federal law enforcement
to address the issue. So this was Saturday. This was Saturday,
so I get actually Friday night. So as of Friday night,
(16:51):
the federal government had cooperated with the Governor of New York.
The former governor of New Jersey, Chris Christie, said he
saw the drones over his house. And he's lived in
New Jersey all his life and he never saw these
things before. Stewart Airport, back in white Plane, services commercial
and military flights and is adjacent to the New York
(17:13):
Air National Guard Base. The one hundred and fifth Airlift
Wing is stationed there. The drugs were also spotted flying
over LaGuardia Airport and Newark Airport. There's one sheriff in
New Jersey from Ocean County where I used to live
down by the beach. They sent their own drone, an
(17:37):
industrial grade one, into the air to try to follow
one of fifty drones that a local police officer saw
coming off the ocean. This is Sheriff Michael Masterrinardi. This
(17:57):
officer said the state Police the FBI and the Coastguard
was alerted. The Coastguard then reported thirteen drones wingspans eight
feet following one of their vessels. The drones don't seem
to give off heat like more typical versions, and they
maneuvered out of the clutches of the sheriff drone. One
(18:26):
of the newstation had a reporter named rich McHugh who
said he thought the drone hysteria might be the result
of pranksters until he saw them himself. If this is
not our military, then it's even more scary. These things
look like they are fixed wing. They have multiple lights.
I'm not sure how to process what I saw last night,
(18:46):
but the photographer and I were kind of stunned. They
are the sizes of SUVs. That's your own exclusive audio.
We have a drunk flying around the studio. I keep
(19:10):
looking at the window to see what's going on. Now.
We also have a drone sighting in Long Beach. Let's
play this. Fox eleven reporter Matt Seedorf.
Speaker 10 (19:24):
Sit growing concerns over drones causing more videos like this
to take off definitely out of flashing lights near Long
Beach Friday night. This one into Macua close to Camp Pendleton.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
The public has a right to know what is playing
about the guys.
Speaker 5 (19:39):
You know that's no plane.
Speaker 10 (19:40):
Similar mysterious videos recently surfacing over New Jersey. Iran launched
a mothership that contains these drones. Republican Congressman Jeff Andrew
blaming Iran or China.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
The minute you get eyes on them, they go dark.
Speaker 10 (19:54):
New Jersey wallmakers now pushing for an investigation. Well, the
Department of Homeland Security in Biden iministration insists there's no danger.
Speaker 11 (20:02):
These are not drones or activities coming from a foreign
entity or adversary.
Speaker 8 (20:07):
I do believe that there's drones flying, but I would
not consider it spooky.
Speaker 10 (20:11):
Stephen Katz, a partner with Flying Lion, showing us some
of their drones.
Speaker 8 (20:16):
Every one of the drones, as you can see, has
a license.
Speaker 10 (20:21):
They fly the largest drone service in LA, working with
police departments in private security companies. So this three foot
drone is about four hundred feet in the air. You
can't hear it, But what does it look like on infrared?
Speaker 1 (20:33):
Right now?
Speaker 8 (20:33):
This is not Superman. You can't even see past a
sun roof. You can't see into buildings even at this distance.
You couldn't even read a license plate at night.
Speaker 5 (20:41):
I don't think it's a big deal.
Speaker 10 (20:43):
Kenneth Well, is a retired pilot for Southwest Airlines, believes
the navigation whits blinking on these possible drones means they're
likely harmless. If these were drones that were being used
by other countries, I think they would be trying not
to be seen, so they would not have lights on them.
The FBI rests to demand Tuesday, boarding a flight for
China at San Francisco International Airport. He's accused of illegally
(21:06):
flying a drone over the SpaceX facility in VanderBurg, California,
and taking photos s over there. President elect Donald Trump
Friday night posting to truth socials saying, mystery drone sightings
all over the country. Can this really be happening without
our government's knowledge?
Speaker 2 (21:22):
What the public know? Now? Otherwise shoot them down, just
keep circling.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
The Riverside County Sheriff's office has a statement now tonight
saying it is aware of drone reports and that calls
should be directed to the FAA.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
All right, when we come back. This is something I've
been telling people for over thirty years. It is a
waste of time to recycle plastic. You might as well
throw it in the trash. They knew this way back
in the mid nineteen nineties. I read a story on it.
And most of the plastic, over ninety percent of the plastic,
(22:02):
is not recycled. And every time I see one of
those stupid recycling bins, I get angry because all the
smug little sheep in California, I think that they're saving
the environment by sorting out the plastic. Your plastic is
going into a landfill. There was a story, real clear politics.
(22:23):
I think it's done by the Associated Press as well.
And I'll tell you where all the plastic is going
and has been going for many, many years, so you
could stop the recycling, get rid of your bins.
Speaker 6 (22:36):
You're listening to John Cobel's on demand from KFI AM.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Six forty on every day from one until four and
then after four o'clock John Cobelt's Show on demand. If
you miss any part of the program after four o'clock,
you can hear part or all the show, and you
can follow us at John Cobelt Radio. Now, Recycling bugs me.
(23:02):
Recycling is what people like to do to show off
they care about the environment. Recycling plastic has no effect
on the.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
Environment, but we were told that it did.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
They lied to us. It's virtue signaling. It makes people
feel good.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
It made me feel good when I used to recycle.
Speaker 11 (23:24):
It did it felt like I was doing I mean,
I didn't give it a lot of thought, but I
did have one bin for recyclables and another for non recyclables.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
You know what I do when I go over someone's
house and I say they have a plastic recycling what
do you do? I throw the plastic in the real
trash can.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (23:44):
No, yeah, because you've gotten caught.
Speaker 5 (23:47):
Never.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
I always think, what a fool, What a what a fool?
My friends, are.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
You never recycled in your house?
Speaker 2 (23:54):
I never because I read the first story by a journalist,
science journalist nam John Tierney, and was in the New
York Times way back I can nineteen ninety six, and
I checked recently. The story is still online. And he
had uncovered that back then that there's no market for
plastic and it all ends up in a landfill anyway,
(24:17):
because whatever companies are collecting the plastic for recycling, they
can't find buyers. China was a buyer, and then some
years ago, they said no more because we don't know
what it was going to Chinese landfills. Basically that's where
most of the plastic has gone over the years, because
it's it's an unwieldy, processed recycle plastic. It's expensive, there's
(24:41):
just no point to it. This was one of these
feel good things for people to do, like performative environmental
work to show off to other people.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
Just so cynical. Well it's true though, I did do
it to show up part of you. No, no, really,
I just thought, okay, this is the right thing to do.
Is a pain in the butt to do. Actually, now
I just throw everything in one place.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
Like people in San Francisco. I think they're now they
now have compost bins. Didn't they pass something they did? Yeah?
Do you know anybody who has a compost process going on?
Speaker 3 (25:15):
Now?
Speaker 2 (25:16):
It's virtue signaling. So here's the story. Uh, and the
writers Ross Pomeroy, and he writes, millions of Americans dutifully
fill their recycling bins each week, motivated by the knowledge
that you're doing something good for the environment. But the
sad fact is that much of it is tossed. Much
of what you toss into the recycling bin is eventually
(25:38):
thrown heaped into landfills. Elon Musk put out a a
tweet the other day, recycling is pointless. John Stossel, the
consumer reporter. He put a video segment on X in fact,
we should find that I'd like to play it. John
Stossel was a big consumer reporter in New York City
(25:59):
when I was a kid. I guess he's still around,
and he was good at debunking this kind of nonsense
that comes from governments and left wing environmental organizations. Despite
claims that plastics are recyclable, only nine percent of plastic
is melted and reformed. There's only two types of plastic
(26:23):
that can be reused, and that represents only nine percent
of the total. The rest goes into landfills or the environment.
Plastic and glass are easy on the art, easy on
the environment to produce, but to recycle them is tricky, costly,
and when you factor in all the water that you
(26:45):
have to use to contaminate plastic and glass, the immense
distances that you have to transport them, usually by truck
trainer ship, the mechanical and chemical process utilized to transform
them into do goods worth the money everybody who tries
to recycle plastic around the world has done nothing but
lose money, and that's why China gave up. So there's
(27:10):
a environmental economist from Bucknell University, Thomas Kinneman, who says
most plastics should be thrown in the trash. They should
be crushed and buried in a landfill. The stuff you
can recycle aluminum and tin cans and paper, especially cardboard,
(27:31):
that should absolutely be recycled because it costs a lot
to the environment to mine new aluminum and bauxite, he says.
Pomeroy writes, don't feel bad about discording plastics into the trash.
Land filling waste is not the evil many assume it
(27:54):
to be. This is another thing. Have you ever seen landfills?
Speaker 8 (27:59):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (27:59):
Sup, well they You can't just keep throwing things in landfills.
Eventually the earth will be We'll run out of earth,
We'll run out of land. I've heard people saying this crap.
Speaker 5 (28:09):
Well.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
Palmera writes that modern landfills in the developed world are
highly regulated, sophisticated systems to protect groundwater, methods of compacting
trash tightly, and ways of siphoning off methane gas and
then burning into produce electricity, so you can recycle the
methane gas coming off the rotten garbage and turn that
into a fuel. And despite the myth that we're running
(28:33):
out of landfill space, there's plenty of room.
Speaker 11 (28:35):
Hey, John, we have a news conference on the deadly
fatal school shooting. So we're just going to dip into
it real quick and see if we're gonna get any
new information.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
This incident could be reunified. This is Sean, thank them
for doing this. At this time, we're still working on
a motive, trying to determine why this happened. We know
that there's some information that may be circulating about the shooter.
I cannot at this time formally tell you the age,
(29:05):
or gender, or name of the shooter. We do not
want to compromise any part of the investigation. But it
is important to note that later today at eight point thirty,
a plan to give an additional update, and I believe
at that time we may be able to give you
the answers to some of those questions. Here's what we know. Again,
(29:25):
we have three people who have lost their lives. Two
of those people were persons who are pronounced dead at
the scene and one while on the way to the hospital.
Of the six injured and taken to local hospitals, two
students remain in critical condition. Their injuries are life threatening.
A teacher and three other students were taken to area
(29:48):
hospitals with non life threatening injuries. Two of those victims.
Two of those survivors have been released from the hospital.
Speaker 5 (29:58):
But that is an update.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
Okay, stop out of there, because if they don't have
the name of the shooter, then it's not much of
a news conference. All right, let me just let me
get to the big finish now. Despite the myth we're
running out of landfill space, there's plenty of room. Less
(30:21):
than one tenth of one percent of America's land is
used to store trash. Ninety nine point nine nine percent
of America's land is not tainted by a landfill, is
not used for a landfill. Current landfills are just under
(30:42):
fifty percent capacity. It'll be decades before more need to
be built. So there is nothing wrong with the landfills.
They are safe, environmentally effective here in America. I can't
speak for other countries, but the modern ones are not
(31:03):
tainting the ground water. Uh, they're creating methane gas that
can be recycled in itself. Ninety nine point nine nine
percent of the land is not used for landfills. They're
under fifty percent capacity, many decades before we've got to
build new ones. The landfills are a great idea for
(31:25):
sending your plastics and all your other trash to and
recycling is just the you know, one of those goodie
good myths, so people could feel like they're responsible and
they're helping out the environment.
Speaker 11 (31:42):
You're still get money if you if you turn in
recyclables to you.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
Know, some of the cans. I think the cans just cans,
because aluminum cans and tin cans are useful to recycle. Okay,
so just just remember that next time you run into
one of these ninnies. Maybe you have a friend, well
you probably they have some friends who do this.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
I don't know actually believe it or not. John, This
is not part of our conversation. Do you recycle? I do?
Speaker 1 (32:09):
Do you.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
The only thing I put in the recycling bin it's cardboard,
because I knew that was actually useful. But the rest
of it, I turn everything into the garbage. I hate
I hate public recycling bins, and I hate. I hate
those like public service announcements they put up in parks
instructing you why it's necessary to recycle, and they have
(32:34):
all the color coordinates.
Speaker 3 (32:35):
Are you aggar? Do you tag those signs?
Speaker 2 (32:37):
Is that you? I feel like it. I feel like
doing vandalism because I've not it's nonsense for thirty years
and it pisses me off. And the government keeps repeating
one of these feel good lies, and especially up in
San Francisco, I see more of these. Those people are insufferable.
More coming up.
Speaker 6 (32:54):
You're listening to John Cobbels on Demand from KFI AM
six forty this story.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
I think we're going to do more on later in
the week. And if you saw, but Nathan Hackman is
starting to clean out some of the nonsense that guscone
had left behind in the office, and he Hawkman said
today he's going to terminate the contract of a special
prosecutor named Lawrence Middleton. Excuse me. Middleton became famous in
(33:23):
the early nineties because he was a federal prosecutor who
convicted the LA cops involved in the Rodney King beating.
These were the civil rights charges after they had been
acquitted in state court of criminal charges. So Lawrence Middleton
(33:44):
was brought on by Gascon in twenty twenty one to
go after cops who were involved in four shootings, and
in all four cases, the former district Attorney, Jackie Lacy
declined to prosecute, so he was reopening the cases. And
we here in La County, we're paying for the reopening.
(34:11):
He's been working now for three years, three and a
half years, and he has not gotten any of these
cases inside a courtroom. Yes, yet, there was a twenty
fifteen case of a man shot in the back by
a Long Beach police officer, another twenty fifteen shooting a
(34:33):
homeless man killed in Venice Beach, a twenty thirteen shooting
of a guy killed in Gardena, a twenty eighteen shooting
of another man killed by torrents. And you know how
much money he got this last three and a half years.
A million dollars, A million dollars to look into four cases.
(34:55):
Three of the four cases are dead, one of them
is still active. But that's what that's what Gascoon Gascon
blew a million dollars on a well more on this later.
Speaker 12 (35:10):
Ah God, that's what I like about you. You're on everything.
We are you don't let go of anything. No, what
do you think of this drone thing? I was listening
to you on the way in. Doesn't sound like you.
The information you provided seem to support the notion that
that's not some kind of alien force or outside, uh
like adversary that is here.
Speaker 2 (35:31):
I'm assuming if it was, they'd actually do something.
Speaker 5 (35:34):
Yeah, and they wouldn't have lights on the drones.
Speaker 2 (35:37):
Yeah, but it's still really weird and freaky.
Speaker 12 (35:40):
Yeah, and I understand was it like the equivalent of
like kind of a drone flash mob? How do they
get so many of them up? You know what I mean?
Like's they're everywhere?
Speaker 5 (35:48):
Now? Is it was this? Are these copycats or is
it all part of the same operation.
Speaker 2 (35:52):
I don't know where do you get that many drones?
And they're large drones. That's the extra large ones. I
the the sizement. Yeah, these aren't the things you get
in a toy store. Yeah, your kid buys. I don't know,
but it really exists. Just just come clean.
Speaker 12 (36:10):
I've heard I heard the President elect Donald Trump saying
that the government knows what these are, which means he knows.
That's exactly what I said today. I said, you're getting
the same briefings Pal that Biden's getting right. Now, there
are no briefings that Joe Biden's getting the Donald Trump's
not getting right.
Speaker 2 (36:27):
So one of the reporters said, have you gotten a briefing?
And he says why, I can't comment on that, which
means yes, he did, which is why he's so confident
in saying the government knows what's going.
Speaker 5 (36:37):
On, or or he's just exactly anyway, we've got that.
Speaker 12 (36:45):
I've got Chargers tickets to give away, which you know
I'm not used to giving stuff away. I should mention
Conway is you know, is offer the week for the holidays.
So I understand the Chargers, had they won, these tickets
would be even more they I thought they would win.
I tuned into that Fox pre show. They do an
(37:08):
hour of Fox Football before the game actually kicks off,
and Terry Bradshaw said that the Chargers were definitely going
to win, apparently not much put I put the family
fortune on that.
Speaker 5 (37:23):
I did, yes, and I can take you.
Speaker 2 (37:25):
Terry Bradshaw said, sign, I know, I know.
Speaker 12 (37:27):
That's how pathetic I am. Anyway, and I lost, sou
but we have Charges tickets to give away. That and
there's a lot going on. We're following news events everything
from from quakes to the polio vaccine, to stuff going
on in Las Vegas and more so.
Speaker 5 (37:42):
It's a big show. It's a big show, Mark Thompson
and well appointed.
Speaker 2 (37:46):
No, it's always a big show when Mark is here.
Kruzer's got the news live in the KFI twenty four
hour newsroom. Hey, you've been listening to the John Cobelt
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.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
I am six forty. You're listening to the John Cobel
Podcast on the iHeartRadio app. We're on from one until
four and then after four o'clock John Cobelt Show on
demand on the iHeart app. And next segment will begin
with the most entertaining story. Not just the drones flying
all over New Jersey and other places in the Northeast,
(00:22):
mostly in the Northeast. I guess there was some loose
here in southern California as well. But the sniveling little
Gerbils that work for the Biden administration trying to not
explain and not tell the truth while pretending that they
are explaining and telling the truth. And that's may Orcus
and Kirby and Trump called him out on it. Trump
(00:43):
says they know what's going on, they just won't tell you.
I guess must be some official secret that Trump can't
tell either. We'll talk all about it. And we've got
some clips of local politicians losing their mind. Oh, in
the Iran, the Iran drone ship is really out there.
That wasn't a fake story. But first Alex Stone ABC
(01:04):
News school shooting in Wisconsin, Madison, Wisconsin, and it just
happened a few hours ago, and Alex has the latest
Alex Aylor John, Yeah, and we confirmed with a number
of different sources a few minutes ago that the shooter
was a female, a teenage female, which that is going
(01:24):
to go against the typical narrative of an active shooter,
especially at a school, but oor a mall or at
a movie theater, that typically these highly populated area active shooters,
that they are not a teenage female. We think around
seventeen years old, with the exact age not known yet,
but initially today police said four had been killed plus
(01:46):
the shooter. That the numbers are wrong. Early on it
was two plus the shooter, with six others who were
hurt and the dead being a teacher and a teenage student.
Two of the injured are both students. They are critically
injured right now. But it was around eleven am local
time in Madison at the Abundant Life Christian School when
the nine one one calls began coming in just before
(02:08):
eleven am and the police chief.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
Saying officers arrived they found multiple victims suffering from gunshot wounds.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Now she was already dead the shooter when they arrived.
It's believed it was suicide. Police did not fire any
shots that they didn't as far as we know here
any shots as that they went running in that it
was already over by that point. The weapon used was
a handgun. The ATF is working right now to trace
that gun to figure out where did she get it?
(02:35):
Was her mom and dad's, was it stolen? Was it
from a friend that we don't know yet.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Officers located a juvenile who they believe was responsible for
this decease in the building. Additionally, the officers began administering
life saving efforts to anyone who was wounded and making
sure that those persons were transported.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
President Biden was briefed on the shooting. The FBI is
on scene helping out. Agents with the FBI are most
likely doing a lot of scrubbing of social media right
now that they are the experts in that to figure
out who was she and why did this unfold? The
chief saying he's been asked over and over again today
the why, He said, he just doesn't know that investigators
(03:18):
have not yet figured that out. Social Media quite often,
especially with a teenager, between a cell phone and the
social media accounts and text messaging apps that normally that
picture would begin to come together, which we may begin
to understand later on tonight. But the school posted on
Facebook prayers requested we had an active shooter incident today.
(03:38):
But he's saying when she died, the threat went away.
There is no ongoing threat to the community. But John,
this was not a small religious school like the one
in northern California that had the shooter week two weeks
ago where two kindergarteners were shot. That one only had
thirty students. This one had three hundred and ninety. It's
a K through twelve campus. It's quite large, and the chiefs.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
We're still going through collecting evidence, collecting information, making sure
that our community is safe from what is a sad
day for our community and for our country.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
So they have a lot of work left to do. Well.
One of the aspects of it trying to figure out
that motive, and he says they just don't know yet.
I heard it was a nine millimeter gun, which is
small by gun standards, so that's easy to get into
a school because there were no there were no metal detectors.
I mean take nine millimeters kind of what police typically
carry on their hips. About that size. You could put
(04:34):
it into your handgun, into your backpack, and nobody would know. Well,
I'd be real curious to see what her background is
because if it was a guy, I just assumed it
was a guy. I think we all did. Yeah, you
naturally just say he when there's one of these shooters.
And then then now we find out female. I figured
it would you. You'd end up checking all the standard
(04:54):
boxes for these teenage boys who become murderers. She could
check those same boxes. Yeah, you could look at maybe
the video games and the the oh, the feeling ostracized
and feeling like no, but you know, it's all the
normal stuff. But we don't know yet. Yeah, all right, Alex,
thank you very much for coming on. You got it.
Thank John Alex Stone, ABC News on the very rare
(05:18):
incident where a seventeen year old girl went into a
school and shot it up and there's there's no information
about her other than she's seventeen and she's a girl.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
They are going to be holding a news conference soon,
all right.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Well, if they've got any real information, because the last
news conference had virtually no information. So I'm not holding
out hopes onto the drones. This is just the most
ridiculous story. It's a very reminiscent of the stupid Chinese
balloon last year and when, and which the Biden administration
(05:58):
did nothing about. And that balloon was hovering over military
facilities and all kinds of sensitive government places, and it
was getting intelligence, it was taking photographs, and we didn't
shoot it down till it was in the ocean. So
now we've got hundreds of drones flying around and these
(06:20):
are not normal planes. You know, I cannot stay. I mean,
I'll play a Mayorcist thing. May Orcist makes me crazy
because he lied about the border every single day of
his life. He's this weird, little weasel gerbil. I mean,
he doesn't seem human. It looks like a hotel valet.
And he talks in bureaucratic well not jargon, because that's
(06:44):
what Newsom does. Just vague bureaucratics speak, borring phrases, endless,
looping around in a monotone lots of words, says nothing
of substance. I'll play We'll play cut number one, and
then I want to play some of some of the
reaction to the federal government refusing to give us detail
(07:08):
and refusing to give us the truth. This is majorcas
with George Stephanopoulos on ABC News this week, cut one.
Speaker 4 (07:15):
Who are seeing drones? And I want to assure the
American public that we in the federal government have deployed
additional resources, personnel, technology to assist the New Jersey State
Police in addressing the drone sightings.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
All right, some of these stop there and to what end?
And somebody'd you learn? I mean that was that was
an interview was done yesterday, yesterday morning. So now it's about, Oh,
I don't know, thirty two hours later, what you sent out,
(07:54):
the assistance, you set up, the resources, the officers, whatever
the hell the federal government sent to New Jersey. What'd
you find out? But drones are up there last night.
They've been up there for four a month, for four weeks.
So they keep talking about the resources that they've sent
and they don't give us any outcomes play some work.
Speaker 4 (08:13):
Some of those drone sightings are in fact drones, some
are manned aircraft that are commonly mistaken for drones. And
we do see duplicative reporting. There's no question that drones
are being cited. Let me set the record straight here, George.
There are thousands of drones flown every day. In the
(08:34):
United States, recreational drones, commercial drones. That is the reality.
This is Time twenty twenty three.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Stop stop, stop stop. But nobody saw drones flying low
over suburban environments in large numbers, flying in grids in
formation that if another aerial vehicle approaches them, they suddenly
turn off their lights and disperse. Nobody's every and he
knows that nobody has seen this stuff before. Go back
(09:06):
to what Trump said. In fact, let's play what Trump
said and cut number four.
Speaker 5 (09:10):
Can you comment on the.
Speaker 6 (09:11):
Drones that are flying at New Jure's reports and it
seems like there people have a big distance the government.
Speaker 7 (09:17):
The government knows what is happening there. Look, our military
knows where they took off from. If it's a garage,
they can go right into that garage. They know where
it came from and where it went. And for some
reason they don't want to comment, And I think they'd
be better off saying what it is. Our military knows,
(09:38):
and our president knows, and for some reason they want
to keep people in suspense. I can't imagine it's the enemy,
because it was the enemy they'd blasted out, even if
they were late, they'd blasted something strange is going on
for some reason. They don't want to tell the people,
and they should because the people are really I mean,
they happen to be over Bedminster. We want to know j.
Speaker 5 (10:01):
We're they're very close to Bedminster.
Speaker 7 (10:03):
I think maybe I won't spend the weekend in Bedminster.
I've decided to cancel my trip.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
Have you received an intelligence briefing on the drones?
Speaker 5 (10:11):
I don't want to comment on that.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
That means he has, and that's why he's able to
say confidently the government knows and the military knows, and
they could go in and get them whenever they want.
He wouldn't have said that unless he had seen an
intelligence briefing. But he's not going to admit to the
intelligence briefing. The hell's the big secret here? If it's
some sort of some sort of program they're working on,
(10:34):
well it's not a secret anymore because millions of people
have seen it. And here's another story. A massive Iranian
drone carrier was captured in new satellite images sailing in
the Persian Gulf this week. They had first seen it
leave its home port back in mid November, and a
(10:58):
commercial operator named max Art Technologies took satellite photos that
show three Iranian drone ships in the waters off the
country's coast. There was a politician in New Jersey who
said that there was an Iranian drone ship and that's
maybe where the drones are coming from. Uh it's called
(11:23):
the Shahed ba Gary and the Shahed Rudaki and the
Shahed Madavi off the bandar Abbas port in the Persian Gulf.
Who was representative Jeff Van Drew had told Fox News
that the drones were possibly being launched by Iran. I'm
going to tell you the real deal. Iran launched a
(11:45):
mother ship that contains these drones. It's off the east
coast in the United States. They've launched drones. Pentagon said
there was no evidence that Iran was responsible for the drones.
And now we have found the discovery of these three
drone ships, except they're in the Persian Golf. But we
(12:05):
have a culture where all these people Aleandro maywork is
he's lied every day for four straight years and he
still got paid. I don't know when they paid, government liars,
government spokes whole officials, but his check cleared, let's say
every two weeks for four years. Say he's gotten two
hundred checks, never got fired, never got publicly recommended, reprimanded.
(12:30):
It's always been good job, good day. Lying before Congress, excellent.
You lied to the Senate, you lied to the House,
you lied to the American people. That's what we hired
you for, is to lie to everybody. So he's just
doing he's doing what he's doing, right, he's getting a
reward for it. Are we coming back. There's one politician
(12:51):
in New Jersey not putting up with it anymore. His
name is State Senator John Bramnick, and he's then he's
convinced that the government knows. We'll listen to him when
we return.
Speaker 6 (13:05):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
All right, So Trump says that the Biden administration knows
what's going on with the drones. The military knows what's
going on, and they can take care of the situation
if they needed to. But he wouldn't admit if he
got an intelligence briefing. But it seems like he did.
Speaker 8 (13:30):
I think it.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Obviously, we pay these people, they work for us. They
should tell us what's going on. They know what's going on.
I don't believe John Kirby and Alejandro mayorc As. They
are professional liars, but a bunch of worms. Why do
people get into this line of work anyway, just to
stand up in front of a camera and bs people
a terrible existence? Here is a state Senator John Bramnick,
(13:55):
a Republican from Jersey. He went on News nation.
Speaker 9 (14:00):
Have a general belief in government, but this is taking
me to the end of my belief that government is
really being honest. Now there's been some apparently top top
secret briefings right with congress people. Now they come out
of that and I heard Josh Gottheimer come and the
representative and he said, well, I'm not getting a lot
(14:21):
of information, but I don't think it's a threat. So
my guess is there is information, but they're holding it back.
And now what you have is panic.
Speaker 5 (14:32):
Well, what could it possibly be.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Unless they're lying.
Speaker 5 (14:38):
That's the thing.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
They're claiming that it's not a foreign adversary and it's
not dangerous. Well, then you tell us what it is.
I mean, it could be. You know, defense contractors have
made this new super call drone and they're flying of
information because this is what's going to greet our next enemy.
(15:00):
Somebody gets out of line in the Middle East. Will
will send uh, We'll send a hundred of these all
at once, and these can be equipped with some kind
of missile and you could just blast away right Ah,
sir Hesbola gets out of at a hand or rondas
just say, just say it's it's not gonna bother anybody
in America. It's uh, it's a military It's got to
(15:22):
be a military secret. What would be the secrecy. Kathy Hokel,
the New York governor, is also upset. They had to
close some runways at Stuart International Airport. This is in
(15:43):
white planes New York. This is north of New York City,
but it's a major airport. In fact, I believe they
run a lot of illegal aliens uh into white planes
on government on government jets. It's it's partly a commercial
airport and partly a military airport. Well, the drones got
(16:07):
in the way and they had to shut down the runways,
and Hochel sent out a statement saying this has gone
too far. Runways were closed following a report from the
FAA about a drone siding at the airport. It closed
for about an hour. Hochel said the Biden administration should
(16:28):
give federal law enforcement support to the region to ensure
the safety of our critical infrastructure and our people. She
urged the state police to coordinate with federal law enforcement
to address the issue. So this was Saturday. This was Saturday,
so I get actually Friday night. So as of Friday night,
(16:51):
the federal government had cooperated with the Governor of New York.
The former governor of New Jersey, Chris Christie, said he
saw the drones over his house. And he's lived in
New Jersey all his life and he never saw these
things before. Stewart Airport, back in white Plane, services commercial
and military flights and is adjacent to the New York
(17:13):
Air National Guard Base. The one hundred and fifth Airlift
Wing is stationed there. The drugs were also spotted flying
over LaGuardia Airport and Newark Airport. There's one sheriff in
New Jersey from Ocean County where I used to live
down by the beach. They sent their own drone, an
(17:37):
industrial grade one, into the air to try to follow
one of fifty drones that a local police officer saw
coming off the ocean. This is Sheriff Michael Masterrinardi. This
(17:57):
officer said the state Police the FBI and the Coastguard
was alerted. The Coastguard then reported thirteen drones wingspans eight
feet following one of their vessels. The drones don't seem
to give off heat like more typical versions, and they
maneuvered out of the clutches of the sheriff drone. One
(18:26):
of the newstation had a reporter named rich McHugh who
said he thought the drone hysteria might be the result
of pranksters until he saw them himself. If this is
not our military, then it's even more scary. These things
look like they are fixed wing. They have multiple lights.
I'm not sure how to process what I saw last night,
(18:46):
but the photographer and I were kind of stunned. They
are the sizes of SUVs. That's your own exclusive audio.
We have a drunk flying around the studio. I keep
(19:10):
looking at the window to see what's going on. Now.
We also have a drone sighting in Long Beach. Let's
play this. Fox eleven reporter Matt Seedorf.
Speaker 10 (19:24):
Sit growing concerns over drones causing more videos like this
to take off definitely out of flashing lights near Long
Beach Friday night. This one into Macua close to Camp Pendleton.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
The public has a right to know what is playing
about the guys.
Speaker 5 (19:39):
You know that's no plane.
Speaker 10 (19:40):
Similar mysterious videos recently surfacing over New Jersey. Iran launched
a mothership that contains these drones. Republican Congressman Jeff Andrew
blaming Iran or China.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
The minute you get eyes on them, they go dark.
Speaker 10 (19:54):
New Jersey wallmakers now pushing for an investigation. Well, the
Department of Homeland Security in Biden iministration insists there's no danger.
Speaker 11 (20:02):
These are not drones or activities coming from a foreign
entity or adversary.
Speaker 8 (20:07):
I do believe that there's drones flying, but I would
not consider it spooky.
Speaker 10 (20:11):
Stephen Katz, a partner with Flying Lion, showing us some
of their drones.
Speaker 8 (20:16):
Every one of the drones, as you can see, has
a license.
Speaker 10 (20:21):
They fly the largest drone service in LA, working with
police departments in private security companies. So this three foot
drone is about four hundred feet in the air. You
can't hear it, But what does it look like on infrared?
Speaker 1 (20:33):
Right now?
Speaker 8 (20:33):
This is not Superman. You can't even see past a
sun roof. You can't see into buildings even at this distance.
You couldn't even read a license plate at night.
Speaker 5 (20:41):
I don't think it's a big deal.
Speaker 10 (20:43):
Kenneth Well, is a retired pilot for Southwest Airlines, believes
the navigation whits blinking on these possible drones means they're
likely harmless. If these were drones that were being used
by other countries, I think they would be trying not
to be seen, so they would not have lights on them.
The FBI rests to demand Tuesday, boarding a flight for
China at San Francisco International Airport. He's accused of illegally
(21:06):
flying a drone over the SpaceX facility in VanderBurg, California,
and taking photos s over there. President elect Donald Trump
Friday night posting to truth socials saying, mystery drone sightings
all over the country. Can this really be happening without
our government's knowledge?
Speaker 2 (21:22):
What the public know? Now? Otherwise shoot them down, just
keep circling.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
The Riverside County Sheriff's office has a statement now tonight
saying it is aware of drone reports and that calls
should be directed to the FAA.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
All right, when we come back. This is something I've
been telling people for over thirty years. It is a
waste of time to recycle plastic. You might as well
throw it in the trash. They knew this way back
in the mid nineteen nineties. I read a story on it.
And most of the plastic, over ninety percent of the plastic,
(22:02):
is not recycled. And every time I see one of
those stupid recycling bins, I get angry because all the
smug little sheep in California, I think that they're saving
the environment by sorting out the plastic. Your plastic is
going into a landfill. There was a story, real clear politics.
(22:23):
I think it's done by the Associated Press as well.
And I'll tell you where all the plastic is going
and has been going for many, many years, so you
could stop the recycling, get rid of your bins.
Speaker 6 (22:36):
You're listening to John Cobel's on demand from KFI AM.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Six forty on every day from one until four and
then after four o'clock John Cobelt's Show on demand. If
you miss any part of the program after four o'clock,
you can hear part or all the show, and you
can follow us at John Cobelt Radio. Now, Recycling bugs me.
(23:02):
Recycling is what people like to do to show off
they care about the environment. Recycling plastic has no effect
on the.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
Environment, but we were told that it did.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
They lied to us. It's virtue signaling. It makes people
feel good.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
It made me feel good when I used to recycle.
Speaker 11 (23:24):
It did it felt like I was doing I mean,
I didn't give it a lot of thought, but I
did have one bin for recyclables and another for non recyclables.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
You know what I do when I go over someone's
house and I say they have a plastic recycling what
do you do? I throw the plastic in the real
trash can.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (23:44):
No, yeah, because you've gotten caught.
Speaker 5 (23:47):
Never.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
I always think, what a fool, What a what a fool?
My friends, are.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
You never recycled in your house?
Speaker 2 (23:54):
I never because I read the first story by a journalist,
science journalist nam John Tierney, and was in the New
York Times way back I can nineteen ninety six, and
I checked recently. The story is still online. And he
had uncovered that back then that there's no market for
plastic and it all ends up in a landfill anyway,
(24:17):
because whatever companies are collecting the plastic for recycling, they
can't find buyers. China was a buyer, and then some
years ago, they said no more because we don't know
what it was going to Chinese landfills. Basically that's where
most of the plastic has gone over the years, because
it's it's an unwieldy, processed recycle plastic. It's expensive, there's
(24:41):
just no point to it. This was one of these
feel good things for people to do, like performative environmental
work to show off to other people.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
Just so cynical. Well it's true though, I did do
it to show up part of you. No, no, really,
I just thought, okay, this is the right thing to do.
Is a pain in the butt to do. Actually, now
I just throw everything in one place.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
Like people in San Francisco. I think they're now they
now have compost bins. Didn't they pass something they did? Yeah?
Do you know anybody who has a compost process going on?
Speaker 3 (25:15):
Now?
Speaker 2 (25:16):
It's virtue signaling. So here's the story. Uh, and the
writers Ross Pomeroy, and he writes, millions of Americans dutifully
fill their recycling bins each week, motivated by the knowledge
that you're doing something good for the environment. But the
sad fact is that much of it is tossed. Much
of what you toss into the recycling bin is eventually
(25:38):
thrown heaped into landfills. Elon Musk put out a a
tweet the other day, recycling is pointless. John Stossel, the
consumer reporter. He put a video segment on X in fact,
we should find that I'd like to play it. John
Stossel was a big consumer reporter in New York City
(25:59):
when I was a kid. I guess he's still around,
and he was good at debunking this kind of nonsense
that comes from governments and left wing environmental organizations. Despite
claims that plastics are recyclable, only nine percent of plastic
is melted and reformed. There's only two types of plastic
(26:23):
that can be reused, and that represents only nine percent
of the total. The rest goes into landfills or the environment.
Plastic and glass are easy on the art, easy on
the environment to produce, but to recycle them is tricky, costly,
and when you factor in all the water that you
(26:45):
have to use to contaminate plastic and glass, the immense
distances that you have to transport them, usually by truck
trainer ship, the mechanical and chemical process utilized to transform
them into do goods worth the money everybody who tries
to recycle plastic around the world has done nothing but
lose money, and that's why China gave up. So there's
(27:10):
a environmental economist from Bucknell University, Thomas Kinneman, who says
most plastics should be thrown in the trash. They should
be crushed and buried in a landfill. The stuff you
can recycle aluminum and tin cans and paper, especially cardboard,
(27:31):
that should absolutely be recycled because it costs a lot
to the environment to mine new aluminum and bauxite, he says.
Pomeroy writes, don't feel bad about discording plastics into the trash.
Land filling waste is not the evil many assume it
(27:54):
to be. This is another thing. Have you ever seen landfills?
Speaker 8 (27:59):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (27:59):
Sup, well they You can't just keep throwing things in landfills.
Eventually the earth will be We'll run out of earth,
We'll run out of land. I've heard people saying this crap.
Speaker 5 (28:09):
Well.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
Palmera writes that modern landfills in the developed world are
highly regulated, sophisticated systems to protect groundwater, methods of compacting
trash tightly, and ways of siphoning off methane gas and
then burning into produce electricity, so you can recycle the
methane gas coming off the rotten garbage and turn that
into a fuel. And despite the myth that we're running
(28:33):
out of landfill space, there's plenty of room.
Speaker 11 (28:35):
Hey, John, we have a news conference on the deadly
fatal school shooting. So we're just going to dip into
it real quick and see if we're gonna get any
new information.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
This incident could be reunified. This is Sean, thank them
for doing this. At this time, we're still working on
a motive, trying to determine why this happened. We know
that there's some information that may be circulating about the shooter.
I cannot at this time formally tell you the age,
(29:05):
or gender, or name of the shooter. We do not
want to compromise any part of the investigation. But it
is important to note that later today at eight point thirty,
a plan to give an additional update, and I believe
at that time we may be able to give you
the answers to some of those questions. Here's what we know. Again,
(29:25):
we have three people who have lost their lives. Two
of those people were persons who are pronounced dead at
the scene and one while on the way to the hospital.
Of the six injured and taken to local hospitals, two
students remain in critical condition. Their injuries are life threatening.
A teacher and three other students were taken to area
(29:48):
hospitals with non life threatening injuries. Two of those victims.
Two of those survivors have been released from the hospital.
Speaker 5 (29:58):
But that is an update.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
Okay, stop out of there, because if they don't have
the name of the shooter, then it's not much of
a news conference. All right, let me just let me
get to the big finish now. Despite the myth we're
running out of landfill space, there's plenty of room. Less
(30:21):
than one tenth of one percent of America's land is
used to store trash. Ninety nine point nine nine percent
of America's land is not tainted by a landfill, is
not used for a landfill. Current landfills are just under
(30:42):
fifty percent capacity. It'll be decades before more need to
be built. So there is nothing wrong with the landfills.
They are safe, environmentally effective here in America. I can't
speak for other countries, but the modern ones are not
(31:03):
tainting the ground water. Uh, they're creating methane gas that
can be recycled in itself. Ninety nine point nine nine
percent of the land is not used for landfills. They're
under fifty percent capacity, many decades before we've got to
build new ones. The landfills are a great idea for
(31:25):
sending your plastics and all your other trash to and
recycling is just the you know, one of those goodie
good myths, so people could feel like they're responsible and
they're helping out the environment.
Speaker 11 (31:42):
You're still get money if you if you turn in
recyclables to you.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
Know, some of the cans. I think the cans just cans,
because aluminum cans and tin cans are useful to recycle. Okay,
so just just remember that next time you run into
one of these ninnies. Maybe you have a friend, well
you probably they have some friends who do this.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
I don't know actually believe it or not. John, This
is not part of our conversation. Do you recycle? I do?
Speaker 1 (32:09):
Do you.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
The only thing I put in the recycling bin it's cardboard,
because I knew that was actually useful. But the rest
of it, I turn everything into the garbage. I hate
I hate public recycling bins, and I hate. I hate
those like public service announcements they put up in parks
instructing you why it's necessary to recycle, and they have
(32:34):
all the color coordinates.
Speaker 3 (32:35):
Are you aggar? Do you tag those signs?
Speaker 2 (32:37):
Is that you? I feel like it. I feel like
doing vandalism because I've not it's nonsense for thirty years
and it pisses me off. And the government keeps repeating
one of these feel good lies, and especially up in
San Francisco, I see more of these. Those people are insufferable.
More coming up.
Speaker 6 (32:54):
You're listening to John Cobbels on Demand from KFI AM
six forty this story.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
I think we're going to do more on later in
the week. And if you saw, but Nathan Hackman is
starting to clean out some of the nonsense that guscone
had left behind in the office, and he Hawkman said
today he's going to terminate the contract of a special
prosecutor named Lawrence Middleton. Excuse me. Middleton became famous in
(33:23):
the early nineties because he was a federal prosecutor who
convicted the LA cops involved in the Rodney King beating.
These were the civil rights charges after they had been
acquitted in state court of criminal charges. So Lawrence Middleton
(33:44):
was brought on by Gascon in twenty twenty one to
go after cops who were involved in four shootings, and
in all four cases, the former district Attorney, Jackie Lacy
declined to prosecute, so he was reopening the cases. And
we here in La County, we're paying for the reopening.
(34:11):
He's been working now for three years, three and a
half years, and he has not gotten any of these
cases inside a courtroom. Yes, yet, there was a twenty
fifteen case of a man shot in the back by
a Long Beach police officer, another twenty fifteen shooting a
(34:33):
homeless man killed in Venice Beach, a twenty thirteen shooting
of a guy killed in Gardena, a twenty eighteen shooting
of another man killed by torrents. And you know how
much money he got this last three and a half years.
A million dollars, A million dollars to look into four cases.
(34:55):
Three of the four cases are dead, one of them
is still active. But that's what that's what Gascoon Gascon
blew a million dollars on a well more on this later.
Speaker 12 (35:10):
Ah God, that's what I like about you. You're on everything.
We are you don't let go of anything. No, what
do you think of this drone thing? I was listening
to you on the way in. Doesn't sound like you.
The information you provided seem to support the notion that
that's not some kind of alien force or outside, uh
like adversary that is here.
Speaker 2 (35:31):
I'm assuming if it was, they'd actually do something.
Speaker 5 (35:34):
Yeah, and they wouldn't have lights on the drones.
Speaker 2 (35:37):
Yeah, but it's still really weird and freaky.
Speaker 12 (35:40):
Yeah, and I understand was it like the equivalent of
like kind of a drone flash mob? How do they
get so many of them up? You know what I mean?
Like's they're everywhere?
Speaker 5 (35:48):
Now? Is it was this? Are these copycats or is
it all part of the same operation.
Speaker 2 (35:52):
I don't know where do you get that many drones?
And they're large drones. That's the extra large ones. I
the the sizement. Yeah, these aren't the things you get
in a toy store. Yeah, your kid buys. I don't know,
but it really exists. Just just come clean.
Speaker 12 (36:10):
I've heard I heard the President elect Donald Trump saying
that the government knows what these are, which means he knows.
That's exactly what I said today. I said, you're getting
the same briefings Pal that Biden's getting right. Now, there
are no briefings that Joe Biden's getting the Donald Trump's
not getting right.
Speaker 2 (36:27):
So one of the reporters said, have you gotten a briefing?
And he says why, I can't comment on that, which
means yes, he did, which is why he's so confident
in saying the government knows what's going.
Speaker 5 (36:37):
On, or or he's just exactly anyway, we've got that.
Speaker 12 (36:45):
I've got Chargers tickets to give away, which you know
I'm not used to giving stuff away. I should mention
Conway is you know, is offer the week for the holidays.
So I understand the Chargers, had they won, these tickets
would be even more they I thought they would win.
I tuned into that Fox pre show. They do an
(37:08):
hour of Fox Football before the game actually kicks off,
and Terry Bradshaw said that the Chargers were definitely going
to win, apparently not much put I put the family
fortune on that.
Speaker 5 (37:23):
I did, yes, and I can take you.
Speaker 2 (37:25):
Terry Bradshaw said, sign, I know, I know.
Speaker 12 (37:27):
That's how pathetic I am. Anyway, and I lost, sou
but we have Charges tickets to give away. That and
there's a lot going on. We're following news events everything
from from quakes to the polio vaccine, to stuff going
on in Las Vegas and more so.
Speaker 5 (37:42):
It's a big show. It's a big show, Mark Thompson
and well appointed.
Speaker 2 (37:46):
No, it's always a big show when Mark is here.
