Speaker 1 (00:00):
Can't. I am six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
You're listening to the John Cobel Podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
We're with you every day from one until four, and
we're with you after that too. In case you missed
the show, John Cobelt Show on demand. The podcast same
as the radio show. It's posted shortly after four o'clock
every day. We are going to spend some more time
in drone Land because there's so many agencies in government
(00:27):
trying to tell people that not to worry. At the
same time, they're not explaining where the drones are coming from,
and there's obviously unusual activity in the skies, and why
they don't if they know what's going on, that just
say so. Department of Homeland Security, the FBI, the FAA,
(00:51):
the Department of Defense. They released a statement jointly. Alex
Stone has more to tell. Alex you need a special
open now. Welcome to drone Land. Drone Land another ride
sounds like a Disneyland ride, drum Land with a lot
of blinking lights on it and hovering over the air. Yeah,
I mean, if they don't know what it is. Of
(01:12):
course President elect indicated that they do. If he knows
what they do, then maybe explaining it is tough for
them to do. But the bottom line at all levels
at federal, state, and local, that they're saying that they
know there's no threat and that this is seems to
be a lot of it. A mix of the regular
aircraft being spotted and drones that are always out there
(01:32):
from the eight hundred thousand hobbyist drones that are registered,
and law enforcement prones and power companies a checking lines.
But you mix that with the hysteria right now and
heightened awareness of people who a couple of weeks ago
weren't looking at the sky at night and now were
looking up and saying, look at that light coming my way,
and it's actually a plane landing at Burbank Airport.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
You know that you mix it all together.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
And then you got the former governor of Maryland who
posted and people said, look, even he saw them turned
out to be the constellation. It appears that he saw
stars and mistook them for drones. So a lot of
people are doing that. But those who were in New
Jersey and in New York, they're saying, yeah, people don't
understand that this is not just something they're seeing flying
(02:13):
in the sky that they can see that they are large,
and it is every night, and they do want the answers.
Matthew Morello is a mayor in New Jersey.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
I'd like to think that there's no danger. They haven't
had any aggressive patterns. They haven't done anything other than
hover fly in erratic patterns. But if they are up
there watching videoing or something, what are they looking at?
Speaker 2 (02:33):
And just give you an example of the mistakes today,
there was a reported setting of a drone over downtown
San Diego early this morning and police responded they were
tracking this thing for over an hour, they were watching it.
I just talked to San Diego Harbor Police and they say, oh, yeah, no,
that was a mand airplane. Everybody freaked out about it,
and they confirmed there was a human flying that plane
and it was legally flying. So there's a lot of that.
(02:56):
Yesterday near Hill Air Force Base in Utah, they responded
to a report of drones nearby. So that multi agency
statement you mentioned, they say that they these do not
present a national security or public safety risk. But those
who are seeing them. This officer in New Jersey or
our team wrote along with she says she is seeing
them every night.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
It's not just one drone. When there's one, there's many.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
When there's one, there's many. So now the FBI and
Department of Homeland Security they're deploying technology to detect these
drones over in New York and New Jersey, and lawmakers
on Capitol Hill are meeting on it today. Yeah, they're
supposed to be a classified meeting with the House Intelligence
to me, Oh, yeah, that's happening right now or was
a little while ago. If there's nothing going on, why
(03:38):
do you need a secret classified meeting. Yeah, it could
be trying to figure out and get intelligence to say
what they do or don't know about these and where
the holes and the system might be.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
It's a good question. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
But there are concerns now, John, that the people are
going to fire upon these things or shine lasers at them,
which is something that people do anyway for whatever weird reason,
at aircraft, and you're going to find out that what
you just shot at was a United Airlines plane or
Alaska Airlines. So they're big concern now because a lot
of these that people are reporting in are just regular aircraft.
(04:11):
Somebody is going to do something that they're going to regret.
The FBI in New Jersey warning people this. They're also
concerned people will take matters into their own hands and
fire a weapon at an aircraft, and the FBI says
it's gotten about five thousand tips it is running those down.
But again, there are around eight hundred thousand registered drones
in the US. It is not illegal to fly them
at night up to about four hundred feet. So even
(04:32):
people online have been wondering, is this you know some
like flash mob thing. We're on some reddit chain people
have said, like, go out at six to eight o'clock
and fly your drone and you know it's where we
are now. So the other thing is if you're wondering
what's in the sky above you, the one thing that
the aviation community keeps saying is just download the Flight
Radar twenty four app and you can use the filter
on it to tell it you want to see everything.
(04:54):
You probably won't see small drones down low that they're
not on radar, but everything else you'll look and be
able to say, well, that's an LAPD chopper. That's Burbank
PD right there, Glendale Burbank. That's a Southwest Airlines. So
we'll answer a lot of this stuff because a lot
of it is not this, but still those in New
Jersey they're saying, yeah, but something's going on.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
We played a clip.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Of the Belleville, New Jersey mayor went on a New
York TV show and he says he's heard that it's
a lost some lost radiation, a piece of medical, piece
of medical equipment used for cancer scans, lost in transit.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Have you heard about this? That we had reporting on that.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
And I was reading an internal thing today on what
we found out about that, and I believe the answer
was I'm trying to pull it up right now that
they did locate it here it is right.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Now, Yeah, that they found it.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Hang on, I thought I found the email that they
were able to figure out that it was lost in
transit is what I was reading as I was trying
to understand here. It is the NRC, which is what
the National Nuclear Regular Yeah, Nuclear dear Right Incident report
for that reporting on the missing radioactive material in New
(06:13):
Jersey has not been updated, which is why there was
this misinformation out there. The radioactive material was used as
a radiation source in this case, they shipped via FedEx
fed X temporarily misplaced and it was later found and
had been delivered to the disposal site, the material was depleted,
and so apparently FedEx finally founded.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
And delivered it on.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
But there's a lot of John, you know, from officials
as well of I've heard this, I think this, and
you know a lot of it is is bull in
this case, apparently the report being that that it was
found and taken care of, and that this is not
that FedEx doesn't need that publicity around Christmas. Yeah, they're like, thanks,
how they get roped into it. They lost some radioactive
(06:57):
medical equipment, but they found it apparently. All right, all right, Alex,
thank you very much. You got it, John, good talking
to you when we come back. It is that we've
whipped up. It's some hysteria. Obviously there is reality to it,
and then there's hysterical reactions. People are now claiming on TikTok,
(07:17):
of course, that they are suffering from illnesses and they
think they caught it from the drones. They're getting sick
all over the place. And I'm going to tell you
what the blue beam is too.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
Oh yeah, I can't wait to hear about that.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
The blue beam.
Speaker 5 (07:31):
Yeah, you're listening to John Cobelt on Demand from kfi
A six forty.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Again moist lanes eighty seven seven moist eighty six for Friday.
So as we enter the hysteria portion of the Great
drone freak Out, now people are going online. Of course
they're going online, and they're claiming that they've gotten sick,
they've gotten some kind of virus that I suppose they
(08:00):
believe the drones are spraying these germs in the air.
You're germ of folks, I am, they say these. You
know there's drunes flying over LA.
Speaker 6 (08:10):
Now, well, I haven't seen any except for the one
that was flying by my bedroom. But that was you know,
that was a real estate agent, so that that doesn't count.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Did you do a background check on that guy just
to see if he shows up in any databasis? I should,
real estate agent. Sin's a drone to your bedroom? Good one.
Here's here are some quotes from people who have posted
on TikTok. Is TikTok like like the stupidest of all the.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
I am not on TikTok, so I don't.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
I'm just based on what I read in the news.
It just seems to have the lowest aggregate IQ.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
Well, more young people use TikTok.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
All right, this is all from than the New York,
New Jersey area. A woman posted on TikTok with the
caption I'm not saying it has anything to do with
the drum, but I'm also not saying it has anything
to do with the drones.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
You can follow that.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
I can follow that.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Do you live in the Tristate area and are you
sick like me? My sickness started out as pains, like everywhere.
My entire body hurt, my hair hurt, and then it
just keeps morphing into different stages. The uh here's another woman.
I had the waterworks dripping from my nose. I went
(09:28):
through two boxes of tissues in as many days, where
all I could do is kind of go from the
couch to the bed and back again. And then we
moved up to stuffed up sinuses. Andrea, an artist in
New York City, linked her illness to the drones. I'm
sick with the sinus congestion because of the drones over
New Jersey and Staten Island. It's pretty close to here.
(09:50):
I think that's what it is.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
No, it's the flu, it's covid.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Or it's a coal I guess.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
Doctor de Wie says.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
There you go.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
So every night I'm feeling worse and worse, and last
night was the worst night of them all. It turns
out some drones were shooting. They were shooting. That's what
I think caused by sinus infection. Here's Shauna from New Jersey.
Anyone else really effing sick and coughing up along rite
before Christmas? And it didn't start happening until the drones
showed up. Actually, doctor w you are right. I was, yes.
(10:24):
Apparently COVID tests are up from four percent detecting the
virus to five and a half percent. Hospitalizations for the
flu is up fourteen percent, also increases in RSV and
then aurovirus.
Speaker 6 (10:42):
And I don't even have a medical degree, and you
did that from three thousand miles away.
Speaker 4 (10:46):
Yeah, you know, and I don't have cheat sheets like
you do.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
It was just your interest.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
It was you can just feel the vibrations out there,
so obvious. Well, these people think it's the drones spraying viruses. Yeah. Now,
Project Blue Beam conspiracy theories about a secret government program
called Project Bluebeam are proliferating. It's a theory introduced by
(11:14):
the Canadian journalist Serge monast thirty years ago. The theory
is that global elites will destabilize society by staging and
unleashing massive supernatural events, alien invasions, holographic displays of cultural
and religious figures, mind control, faked crises, Oh, we've had
(11:35):
a lot of those, and then capitalize in the hysteria
to implement a new world order. And that's what they
think all the drones are. It's to stir up hysteria.
The name is a derivation of Project Blue Book, a
US Air Force program that investigated UFOs back in the
fifties and sixties. On Monday, the Jersey Governor was asked
(12:04):
what message he had for people we're staring in the
sky and finding all these drones. First of all, I'd say,
calm down, Okay, there's no evidence of anything to farry
us here. We never say never, but take a breath.
And also the drune sightings are down, but that's because
(12:26):
it's been raining and it's cloudy, which is what the
assemblyman said last hour.
Speaker 6 (12:30):
I really don't understand why the government just doesn't tell
us exactly what's going on and we call it a day.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Yeah, I'm all disappointed that they found the radiation.
Speaker 6 (12:40):
Well, I mean the same radiation John will freak a
lot of people out. I mean that that'll do it.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
But well it was it was one FedEx shipment.
Speaker 6 (12:50):
Why know, So you got to just go out there
and say, hey, look, I know this is going to
sound really scary.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
But you know what if FedEx can't keep track of
a boxer ray, Yeah, I know, I don't know how
they're gonna do with your Christmas came there.
Speaker 4 (13:03):
That's pretty scary.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
It should be almost impossible to lose a radioactive.
Speaker 4 (13:09):
Box and the drones still haven't found it. Apparently.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
No, No, they that tracking number, They trace the tracking number,
and then that's that work.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
All right.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
When we come back, Uh, well we've got we've got
Luigi Mangione.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
He's indicted. You have news on that.
Speaker 4 (13:27):
Yeah, not in this cast, but right well at the
top of the.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Hour, all right, he's been indicted.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
But I have to, after going through some of those details,
tell you about this new poll on whether younger Americans
were talking under the age of thirty whether they think
the assassination of Brian Thompson, the United Healthcare CEO, was
acceptable or not.
Speaker 6 (13:49):
My kids are under the age of thirty, I'm going
to have to ask them because I will be very.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Yeah, do so.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
Since it's Christmas and a lot of your lot adult
kids are coming home, Yeah, this would be a great,
great way to kick off Christmas Eve dinner.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
How many of you think it's.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Okay to shoot executives to death on the streets.
Speaker 4 (14:08):
But what if your kid says it's okay? What do
you do?
Speaker 2 (14:11):
You gotta hu Well, you got to realize you really
screwed up as a parent. Sure your your values did
not take you.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
Gotta get a Read's so disappointing.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Isn't it disappointing all the times you took your kid
to church and taught them to be kind and nice
and decent. The next thing you know, they're part of
an assassination squad. It's all coming up next.
Speaker 5 (14:38):
You're listening to John Cobbel's on demand from KFI A
six forty.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
We are on every day from one until four. Now.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
You may have heard in Debora's News that Luigi Mangione
is beneficially indicted by a grand jury in New York
for murder in the case of Brian Thompson getting shot
to death by man Gione. I can say that because
I saw it with my own eyes on videotape. Yeah,
he's the United Healthcare CEO. Now, not only was he
(15:07):
charged with first degree murder, they charged him in furtherance
of terrorism also second degree murder, which includes killing as
an active terrorism criminal, possession of a weapon, and other crimes.
They put in the terrorism charge in part because New
(15:29):
York has a lot of scree rules, screwy laws, and
I don't want to get into the weeds with all
the details, but generally we all know first degree murder
is premeditated. You had a plan and then you carried
out the plan, where second degree murder is a more
spontaneous decision, more like an active passion. You didn't wake
(15:50):
up that morning planning to kill, but you you did
so well. In New York, first degree murder is only
for certain case such as shooting a police officer or
witness killing a witness killing a police officer, and there
had been speculation that Mangio may not qualify for first
degree murder, even though in the traditional use of that
(16:15):
term it seemed obvious. So that's why alvid Bragg decided
to add in furtherance of terrorism or an act of terrorism,
which It was too because this was a cause that
he was following through on, but it's also a way
to get him a longer guaranteed prison sentence anyway they're
(16:39):
going to He was already charged with murder, but the
terror allegation was part of the new package in the
grand jury indictment. In New York, you get a terror
allegation when the crime is intended to or intimidate or
coerce a civilian population, or influence the policies of a
unit of government by intimidation, or affect the conduct of
(17:03):
the unit of government by murder, assassination, or kidnapping. He
could get life in prison without parole if he's convicted
on these murder charges. Alvid Bragg finally found a criminal
he wants to put away. He called the killing brazen
and premeditated, frightening, well planned, targeted murder. So it's impossible
(17:24):
to understand how Manngel could ever get out of this one, unless,
of course, jury nullification. Dury nullification is what happened in
the oj trial. You had a jury who decided to
ignore all the facts of the case and they thought
they had a more important cause that they had to
(17:45):
support and letting out OJ would justify the more important cause,
which was sending LAPD a message that the days of
abuse in their mind were over, that this is what
we're going to do. We're going to start releasing murderers
because of the unfair treatment that LAPD has laid out
(18:06):
against minorities in Los Angeles. And if you're thinking that
this sounds outrageous to suggest there could be nullification, dury
nullification in the Luigi Mangion case, it's not. That's what
hit me today. Emerson College has a poll out. They
have a pretty large polling unit, and they survey at
(18:28):
one thousand registered voters and among those eighteen to twenty nine.
All right, so this would be adults under thirty, forty
one percent believe that the murder of Thompson was either
somewhat or completely acceptable.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Let that sink in.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Forty one percent of adults under thirty say, shooting Brian
Thompson in the back, cold blooded on a New York
City street somewhat are completely acceptable. Seventeen percent said completely,
twenty four percent said somewhat. Only thirty three percent of
(19:10):
those under the age of thirty thought the murder was
completely unacceptable.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
One third. There is I hate to stereotype generations, but
there is something deeply, deeply wrong with this. I guess
this is gen z right, a little bit of millennials. Eric,
you have to account for this. I was going to say,
I've never been prouder to be thirty. You just made
(19:37):
the cut, I did.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
You just squeaked by. There's no chance I think this
is acceptable.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
What the hell's wrong with everybody who came behind you.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
That's a great question. Wow, their parents wants to drop
them on their head or something. Nineteen percent said they're
neutral on the question. Neutral.
Speaker 4 (19:53):
I don't know how you can be neutral.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
So you have forty one percent who thinks it's a
acceptable nineteen percent neutral.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
That's sixty percent.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Who aren't really bothered by somebody getting murdered in the
streets in New York.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
Hey was an executive, he was a CEO. He had it.
Speaker 6 (20:12):
Coming because people don't like him because he made a
lot of money. And you know how the insurance company is.
I mean, I don't like insurance companies. I don't know
how many people do. But we're not advocating to murder
the CEOs of insurance companies.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
I I'm just I you know, I'm looking at this
other thing because you may you know, if you're if
you're a certain age, you grew up getting most of
your news from television in the newspapers, right and the radio,
of course. But here is pulling from a poster named
(20:49):
Doug shown now he used to be Bill Clinton's bolster,
and it rec hears He's been a commentator on Fox
and Newsmax, but he has still has his polling company.
Maybe this explains things I don't know. Three quarters of
Americans under thirty get their news from social media, eighty
(21:12):
four percent of people over sixty five, eighty four percent
get it from television. So you have and you know,
I guess in between you have kind of a sliding scale.
The younger you are, the less TV and the more
social media. But it was overwhelming for seniors, and it
(21:35):
was overwhelming for social media. And if you look at
which social media, sixty one percent of Americans under the
age of thirty get their news primarily from TikTok and
fifty five percent from Instagram. So if you run into
a thirty year old, pretty good odds they got their
(21:58):
news that morning from TikTok or Instagram and pretty good
odds they think shooting a CEO is okay if he's
from the healthcare industry.
Speaker 6 (22:06):
Maybe I need to do a newscast on TikTok.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
Better get it in while you can before it's banned.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Yeah, right, January nineteenth, that might be a good idea
to shut it down. The number of people over the
age of sixty five getting their news from TikTok eight percent,
from Instagram ten percent. Now not only see you know,
I used to think, okay, it's just a different transmission source, right,
(22:36):
because I look at Instagram and I see, you know,
the ABC News has a feed, and Fox has a feed,
and all the traditional networks. But you could see that
most people on TikTok and Instagram are not using traditional
media sources, and it's it's just a new venue. I
guess these are are just mysterious influencers.
Speaker 4 (23:00):
Yeah, you're going to get your news from an influence.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
Yeah, YouTube people, podcasters. I mean, there's a whole array.
And some of these people got noticed because Trump was
going on their shows, and I, you know, I somewhat
keep track of the podcast world, but some of these
shows are apparently that Trump is showing up on and
are very popular.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
I'd never heard of these people.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
And then there's a whole other group, you know, who
didn't make the news during the last election, where I
guess are influencing sixty to seventy five percent of the population.
I guess everybody's running their own news service now and
who knows what you're getting. But there's a lot of propaganda.
There's a lot of very uh strident ideologies that are
(23:43):
being promoted under the guise of news. I mean, people
think they're getting news from TikTok. Yeah, even though it
could be a crazy I'm insulted.
Speaker 4 (23:51):
If you want real news, you come here KF five.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
And you don't want anybody killed.
Speaker 6 (23:56):
I do not well, well, you know you know where
I stand on not CEOs. I'm not saying that some
of the idiots on the.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
Road right exactly. I think you hurled death threats on
your way home from work every day.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
I don't know that.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
That just really shocked me because that means people under thirty,
not all of them obviously, but you got about sixty
percent are living in a different world than what I'm
living in. And it doesn't matter what we all think,
and it doesn't matter about the you know, the and
you know the news industry has discredited itself so many times,
all their bogus stories over the years. I mean, they
(24:39):
went really off the cliff during the Trump administration, and
it's permanently hurt them. They've lost a lot of credibility
with people. But the young people never bought into it
to begin with. They just don't watch, They never watched,
They don't care.
Speaker 6 (24:55):
But you have to have some common sense and knowing
it's not okay just to go gun down a CEO
of an insurance company.
Speaker 4 (25:03):
I mean, you really you need to know.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
I mean, that's There's a woman named Taylor Lorenz. Have
you ever heard of her? She was a writer for
the Washington Post. She ultra woke, eventually got fired by
the by the Post and uh she has like her
own communications online, right, And she said, if you watched
(25:28):
a loved one die because of an insurance conglomerate has
denied their life saving treatment as a cost cutting measure, yes,
it's natural to wish that the people who run such
organizations would suffer the same fate.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
Well, you remember all the TikTok comments I was telling
you about that said thoughts and copays and thoughts and paths.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
And I thought that was just you know, a media hype.
You know, because you always find a few random idiots online, right,
You can always go to the comments section and pick
out a half a dozen of the stupid people or
the trolls. The people are just stirring up stuff. That's
what struck me. Is like, No, it looks like, you know,
forty one percent say cool, shoot the guy in the
back again.
Speaker 6 (26:08):
I understand people's frustration because I feel it too. With
the insurance industry and them denying claims in the whole
pre existing conditions. I could understand why somebody would be
so angry. And fortunately I haven't lost a loved one
who has, you know, denied insurance, and I know if
I did, I would be I'd be furious.
Speaker 4 (26:28):
But you can't.
Speaker 6 (26:30):
You can't say that it's okay to go and just
start shooting and murdering people.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
Taylor Lorenz again she's the former Washington postwriter, said she
believes in the sanctity of life, and I think that's
why I fell, along with so many other Americans' joy
after Thompson was murdered, unfortunately, and she was being interviewed
by Piers Morgan, and he said, how can this make
you joyful? The guy's a husband, a father, he's been
gunned down in the middle of Manhattan. Why does that
(26:55):
make you feel joyful?
Speaker 1 (27:00):
But it does.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
People openly celebrated. And I thought they were just acting
up for their social media feed, just to be controversial
and cool and all that. No, they really meant it.
They're happy he's dead. They think it's justified. All right,
when we come back, anybody hungry.
Speaker 4 (27:16):
I'm always hungry.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
I think this would fit into a vegan diet. We
have a new Kamala Harris word salad.
Speaker 4 (27:24):
Oh. I thought you were really maybe bringing in some
good food.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
It's very nourishing. Okay, it's good brain food. It's a superfood.
Her word salad super food.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
All right, that's next.
Speaker 5 (27:38):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
Kamala Harris has rarely been seen since she lost the election,
which is now about six weeks ago. She surfaced briefly
in a video to her supporters, and she looked like
she was loaded on chardonnay sunded like she was loaded.
But finally she gave a real speech. This is the
first time she's spoken at Prince George's County Prince George's
(28:08):
County Community College.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
In Maryland, that's where she was appearing here.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
And we have a plate of one of her famous
word salads. World famous word salad. Let's roll and see
what this is.
Speaker 7 (28:22):
So I will say this as we close out this year.
I ask of you this, that those here and anyone watching,
that you will not walk away, that you will stay
true to your spirit and your sense of purpose, that
(28:47):
you will continue to fight for the promise of America.
And I ask you to remember the context in which
you exist.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
Yeah I did that.
Speaker 8 (29:04):
Uh huh.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
Remember the context in which you exist?
Speaker 2 (29:26):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (29:26):
I did that.
Speaker 4 (29:28):
Now what does she mean when she says, yeah, I
did that.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
She one of her most famous word salads. She said
during the campaign. I don't know what's wrong with you,
young people. You think you just fell out of a
coconut tree. You exist in the context of all in
which you live and what you and what you came
before you. And so that was such a confusing jumble
(29:53):
of nothing that it became a whole thing on the
internet for a while. See, And so that's why they
started wiggling because you know under thirty they get all
their news from TikTok, right you see, Yeah, so that
this was a big TikTok mean, and the people wonder,
(30:14):
I don't understand.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
How could she lose? Did you see Trump yesterday?
Speaker 2 (30:20):
Seventy minutes unscripted, thirty six questions from the press. Maybe
you didn't like the answers, but he had answers, He
had complete sentences, He had thoughts and paragraphs and policies.
How did Harris campaign for one hundred and seven days
and not what press conference?
Speaker 1 (30:38):
Like that? Not what?
Speaker 2 (30:40):
Not? Even for ten minutes? He did seventy minutes. He
could have gone on for another seventy. And I keep
reading about all these TV panels and online panels and
they're all Kamala Harris lose. I mean, she had a
financial advantage, a billion dollars more. It because she can't
(31:02):
speak and she can't think. That's why it's wrong with you. Well,
that doesn't show up in the polling.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
You can't pull that.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
When you think someone's a dope, that's usually not a
choice a poster gives you.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
Did you vote did you.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
Not vote for Kamala Harris because you thought she was
a dope, yes or no. They don't ask that question
and people are too polite to give a truthful answer.
Speaker 1 (31:23):
Believe me, that was the issue. If she wasn't a dope,
she could have won.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
Yeah I did that. Yeah, but she can't think and
she can't talk, and they want her to run for governor. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
I did that in California.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
And that's fortunately some people are like speaking up and saying, wait, well,
hold on time out here, before this bandwagon starts and
everybody's supposed to salute and say yes she should be governor. No, stop,
hold on a second, we already have a disaster. You're
gonna follow up a newsom with Kamala Harris.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
How much more can this day take?
Speaker 2 (32:02):
All Right, We're coming up Debora Mark live in the
CAFI twenty four hour Newsroom. Hey, you've been listening to
The John Cobalt Show podcast. You can always hear the
show live on KFI Am six forty from one to
four pm every Monday through Friday, and of course anytime
on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Can't. I am six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
You're listening to the John Cobel Podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
We're with you every day from one until four, and
we're with you after that too. In case you missed
the show, John Cobelt Show on demand. The podcast same
as the radio show. It's posted shortly after four o'clock
every day. We are going to spend some more time
in drone Land because there's so many agencies in government
(00:27):
trying to tell people that not to worry. At the
same time, they're not explaining where the drones are coming from,
and there's obviously unusual activity in the skies, and why
they don't if they know what's going on, that just
say so. Department of Homeland Security, the FBI, the FAA,
(00:51):
the Department of Defense. They released a statement jointly. Alex
Stone has more to tell. Alex you need a special
open now. Welcome to drone Land. Drone Land another ride
sounds like a Disneyland ride, drum Land with a lot
of blinking lights on it and hovering over the air. Yeah,
I mean, if they don't know what it is. Of
(01:12):
course President elect indicated that they do. If he knows
what they do, then maybe explaining it is tough for
them to do. But the bottom line at all levels
at federal, state, and local, that they're saying that they
know there's no threat and that this is seems to
be a lot of it. A mix of the regular
aircraft being spotted and drones that are always out there
(01:32):
from the eight hundred thousand hobbyist drones that are registered,
and law enforcement prones and power companies a checking lines.
But you mix that with the hysteria right now and
heightened awareness of people who a couple of weeks ago
weren't looking at the sky at night and now were
looking up and saying, look at that light coming my way,
and it's actually a plane landing at Burbank Airport.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
You know that you mix it all together.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
And then you got the former governor of Maryland who
posted and people said, look, even he saw them turned
out to be the constellation. It appears that he saw
stars and mistook them for drones. So a lot of
people are doing that. But those who were in New
Jersey and in New York, they're saying, yeah, people don't
understand that this is not just something they're seeing flying
(02:13):
in the sky that they can see that they are large,
and it is every night, and they do want the answers.
Matthew Morello is a mayor in New Jersey.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
I'd like to think that there's no danger. They haven't
had any aggressive patterns. They haven't done anything other than
hover fly in erratic patterns. But if they are up
there watching videoing or something, what are they looking at?
Speaker 2 (02:33):
And just give you an example of the mistakes today,
there was a reported setting of a drone over downtown
San Diego early this morning and police responded they were
tracking this thing for over an hour, they were watching it.
I just talked to San Diego Harbor Police and they say, oh, yeah, no,
that was a mand airplane. Everybody freaked out about it,
and they confirmed there was a human flying that plane
and it was legally flying. So there's a lot of that.
(02:56):
Yesterday near Hill Air Force Base in Utah, they responded
to a report of drones nearby. So that multi agency
statement you mentioned, they say that they these do not
present a national security or public safety risk. But those
who are seeing them. This officer in New Jersey or
our team wrote along with she says she is seeing
them every night.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
It's not just one drone. When there's one, there's many.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
When there's one, there's many. So now the FBI and
Department of Homeland Security they're deploying technology to detect these
drones over in New York and New Jersey, and lawmakers
on Capitol Hill are meeting on it today. Yeah, they're
supposed to be a classified meeting with the House Intelligence
to me, Oh, yeah, that's happening right now or was
a little while ago. If there's nothing going on, why
(03:38):
do you need a secret classified meeting. Yeah, it could
be trying to figure out and get intelligence to say
what they do or don't know about these and where
the holes and the system might be.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
It's a good question. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
But there are concerns now, John, that the people are
going to fire upon these things or shine lasers at them,
which is something that people do anyway for whatever weird reason,
at aircraft, and you're going to find out that what
you just shot at was a United Airlines plane or
Alaska Airlines. So they're big concern now because a lot
of these that people are reporting in are just regular aircraft.
(04:11):
Somebody is going to do something that they're going to regret.
The FBI in New Jersey warning people this. They're also
concerned people will take matters into their own hands and
fire a weapon at an aircraft, and the FBI says
it's gotten about five thousand tips it is running those down.
But again, there are around eight hundred thousand registered drones
in the US. It is not illegal to fly them
at night up to about four hundred feet. So even
(04:32):
people online have been wondering, is this you know some
like flash mob thing. We're on some reddit chain people
have said, like, go out at six to eight o'clock
and fly your drone and you know it's where we
are now. So the other thing is if you're wondering
what's in the sky above you, the one thing that
the aviation community keeps saying is just download the Flight
Radar twenty four app and you can use the filter
on it to tell it you want to see everything.
(04:54):
You probably won't see small drones down low that they're
not on radar, but everything else you'll look and be
able to say, well, that's an LAPD chopper. That's Burbank
PD right there, Glendale Burbank. That's a Southwest Airlines. So
we'll answer a lot of this stuff because a lot
of it is not this, but still those in New
Jersey they're saying, yeah, but something's going on.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
We played a clip.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Of the Belleville, New Jersey mayor went on a New
York TV show and he says he's heard that it's
a lost some lost radiation, a piece of medical, piece
of medical equipment used for cancer scans, lost in transit.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Have you heard about this? That we had reporting on that.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
And I was reading an internal thing today on what
we found out about that, and I believe the answer
was I'm trying to pull it up right now that
they did locate it here it is right.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Now, Yeah, that they found it.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Hang on, I thought I found the email that they
were able to figure out that it was lost in
transit is what I was reading as I was trying
to understand here. It is the NRC, which is what
the National Nuclear Regular Yeah, Nuclear dear Right Incident report
for that reporting on the missing radioactive material in New
(06:13):
Jersey has not been updated, which is why there was
this misinformation out there. The radioactive material was used as
a radiation source in this case, they shipped via FedEx
fed X temporarily misplaced and it was later found and
had been delivered to the disposal site, the material was depleted,
and so apparently FedEx finally founded.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
And delivered it on.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
But there's a lot of John, you know, from officials
as well of I've heard this, I think this, and
you know a lot of it is is bull in
this case, apparently the report being that that it was
found and taken care of, and that this is not
that FedEx doesn't need that publicity around Christmas. Yeah, they're like, thanks,
how they get roped into it. They lost some radioactive
(06:57):
medical equipment, but they found it apparently. All right, all right, Alex,
thank you very much. You got it, John, good talking
to you when we come back. It is that we've
whipped up. It's some hysteria. Obviously there is reality to it,
and then there's hysterical reactions. People are now claiming on TikTok,
(07:17):
of course, that they are suffering from illnesses and they
think they caught it from the drones. They're getting sick
all over the place. And I'm going to tell you
what the blue beam is too.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
Oh yeah, I can't wait to hear about that.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
The blue beam.
Speaker 5 (07:31):
Yeah, you're listening to John Cobelt on Demand from kfi
A six forty.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Again moist lanes eighty seven seven moist eighty six for Friday.
So as we enter the hysteria portion of the Great
drone freak Out, now people are going online. Of course
they're going online, and they're claiming that they've gotten sick,
they've gotten some kind of virus that I suppose they
(08:00):
believe the drones are spraying these germs in the air.
You're germ of folks, I am, they say these. You
know there's drunes flying over LA.
Speaker 6 (08:10):
Now, well, I haven't seen any except for the one
that was flying by my bedroom. But that was you know,
that was a real estate agent, so that that doesn't count.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Did you do a background check on that guy just
to see if he shows up in any databasis? I should,
real estate agent. Sin's a drone to your bedroom? Good one.
Here's here are some quotes from people who have posted
on TikTok. Is TikTok like like the stupidest of all the.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
I am not on TikTok, so I don't.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
I'm just based on what I read in the news.
It just seems to have the lowest aggregate IQ.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
Well, more young people use TikTok.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
All right, this is all from than the New York,
New Jersey area. A woman posted on TikTok with the
caption I'm not saying it has anything to do with
the drum, but I'm also not saying it has anything
to do with the drones.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
You can follow that.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
I can follow that.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Do you live in the Tristate area and are you
sick like me? My sickness started out as pains, like everywhere.
My entire body hurt, my hair hurt, and then it
just keeps morphing into different stages. The uh here's another woman.
I had the waterworks dripping from my nose. I went
(09:28):
through two boxes of tissues in as many days, where
all I could do is kind of go from the
couch to the bed and back again. And then we
moved up to stuffed up sinuses. Andrea, an artist in
New York City, linked her illness to the drones. I'm
sick with the sinus congestion because of the drones over
New Jersey and Staten Island. It's pretty close to here.
(09:50):
I think that's what it is.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
No, it's the flu, it's covid.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Or it's a coal I guess.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
Doctor de Wie says.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
There you go.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
So every night I'm feeling worse and worse, and last
night was the worst night of them all. It turns
out some drones were shooting. They were shooting. That's what
I think caused by sinus infection. Here's Shauna from New Jersey.
Anyone else really effing sick and coughing up along rite
before Christmas? And it didn't start happening until the drones
showed up. Actually, doctor w you are right. I was, yes.
(10:24):
Apparently COVID tests are up from four percent detecting the
virus to five and a half percent. Hospitalizations for the
flu is up fourteen percent, also increases in RSV and
then aurovirus.
Speaker 6 (10:42):
And I don't even have a medical degree, and you
did that from three thousand miles away.
Speaker 4 (10:46):
Yeah, you know, and I don't have cheat sheets like
you do.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
It was just your interest.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
It was you can just feel the vibrations out there,
so obvious. Well, these people think it's the drones spraying viruses. Yeah. Now,
Project Blue Beam conspiracy theories about a secret government program
called Project Bluebeam are proliferating. It's a theory introduced by
(11:14):
the Canadian journalist Serge monast thirty years ago. The theory
is that global elites will destabilize society by staging and
unleashing massive supernatural events, alien invasions, holographic displays of cultural
and religious figures, mind control, faked crises, Oh, we've had
(11:35):
a lot of those, and then capitalize in the hysteria
to implement a new world order. And that's what they
think all the drones are. It's to stir up hysteria.
The name is a derivation of Project Blue Book, a
US Air Force program that investigated UFOs back in the
fifties and sixties. On Monday, the Jersey Governor was asked
(12:04):
what message he had for people we're staring in the
sky and finding all these drones. First of all, I'd say,
calm down, Okay, there's no evidence of anything to farry
us here. We never say never, but take a breath.
And also the drune sightings are down, but that's because
(12:26):
it's been raining and it's cloudy, which is what the
assemblyman said last hour.
Speaker 6 (12:30):
I really don't understand why the government just doesn't tell
us exactly what's going on and we call it a day.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Yeah, I'm all disappointed that they found the radiation.
Speaker 6 (12:40):
Well, I mean the same radiation John will freak a
lot of people out. I mean that that'll do it.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
But well it was it was one FedEx shipment.
Speaker 6 (12:50):
Why know, So you got to just go out there
and say, hey, look, I know this is going to
sound really scary.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
But you know what if FedEx can't keep track of
a boxer ray, Yeah, I know, I don't know how
they're gonna do with your Christmas came there.
Speaker 4 (13:03):
That's pretty scary.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
It should be almost impossible to lose a radioactive.
Speaker 4 (13:09):
Box and the drones still haven't found it. Apparently.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
No, No, they that tracking number, They trace the tracking number,
and then that's that work.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
All right.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
When we come back, Uh, well we've got we've got
Luigi Mangione.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
He's indicted. You have news on that.
Speaker 4 (13:27):
Yeah, not in this cast, but right well at the
top of the.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Hour, all right, he's been indicted.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
But I have to, after going through some of those details,
tell you about this new poll on whether younger Americans
were talking under the age of thirty whether they think
the assassination of Brian Thompson, the United Healthcare CEO, was
acceptable or not.
Speaker 6 (13:49):
My kids are under the age of thirty, I'm going
to have to ask them because I will be very.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Yeah, do so.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
Since it's Christmas and a lot of your lot adult
kids are coming home, Yeah, this would be a great,
great way to kick off Christmas Eve dinner.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
How many of you think it's.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Okay to shoot executives to death on the streets.
Speaker 4 (14:08):
But what if your kid says it's okay? What do
you do?
Speaker 2 (14:11):
You gotta hu Well, you got to realize you really
screwed up as a parent. Sure your your values did
not take you.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
Gotta get a Read's so disappointing.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Isn't it disappointing all the times you took your kid
to church and taught them to be kind and nice
and decent. The next thing you know, they're part of
an assassination squad. It's all coming up next.
Speaker 5 (14:38):
You're listening to John Cobbel's on demand from KFI A
six forty.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
We are on every day from one until four. Now.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
You may have heard in Debora's News that Luigi Mangione
is beneficially indicted by a grand jury in New York
for murder in the case of Brian Thompson getting shot
to death by man Gione. I can say that because
I saw it with my own eyes on videotape. Yeah,
he's the United Healthcare CEO. Now, not only was he
(15:07):
charged with first degree murder, they charged him in furtherance
of terrorism also second degree murder, which includes killing as
an active terrorism criminal, possession of a weapon, and other crimes.
They put in the terrorism charge in part because New
(15:29):
York has a lot of scree rules, screwy laws, and
I don't want to get into the weeds with all
the details, but generally we all know first degree murder
is premeditated. You had a plan and then you carried
out the plan, where second degree murder is a more
spontaneous decision, more like an active passion. You didn't wake
(15:50):
up that morning planning to kill, but you you did
so well. In New York, first degree murder is only
for certain case such as shooting a police officer or
witness killing a witness killing a police officer, and there
had been speculation that Mangio may not qualify for first
degree murder, even though in the traditional use of that
(16:15):
term it seemed obvious. So that's why alvid Bragg decided
to add in furtherance of terrorism or an act of terrorism,
which It was too because this was a cause that
he was following through on, but it's also a way
to get him a longer guaranteed prison sentence anyway they're
(16:39):
going to He was already charged with murder, but the
terror allegation was part of the new package in the
grand jury indictment. In New York, you get a terror
allegation when the crime is intended to or intimidate or
coerce a civilian population, or influence the policies of a
unit of government by intimidation, or affect the conduct of
(17:03):
the unit of government by murder, assassination, or kidnapping. He
could get life in prison without parole if he's convicted
on these murder charges. Alvid Bragg finally found a criminal
he wants to put away. He called the killing brazen
and premeditated, frightening, well planned, targeted murder. So it's impossible
(17:24):
to understand how Manngel could ever get out of this one, unless,
of course, jury nullification. Dury nullification is what happened in
the oj trial. You had a jury who decided to
ignore all the facts of the case and they thought
they had a more important cause that they had to
(17:45):
support and letting out OJ would justify the more important cause,
which was sending LAPD a message that the days of
abuse in their mind were over, that this is what
we're going to do. We're going to start releasing murderers
because of the unfair treatment that LAPD has laid out
(18:06):
against minorities in Los Angeles. And if you're thinking that
this sounds outrageous to suggest there could be nullification, dury
nullification in the Luigi Mangion case, it's not. That's what
hit me today. Emerson College has a poll out. They
have a pretty large polling unit, and they survey at
(18:28):
one thousand registered voters and among those eighteen to twenty nine.
All right, so this would be adults under thirty, forty
one percent believe that the murder of Thompson was either
somewhat or completely acceptable.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Let that sink in.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Forty one percent of adults under thirty say, shooting Brian
Thompson in the back, cold blooded on a New York
City street somewhat are completely acceptable. Seventeen percent said completely,
twenty four percent said somewhat. Only thirty three percent of
(19:10):
those under the age of thirty thought the murder was
completely unacceptable.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
One third. There is I hate to stereotype generations, but
there is something deeply, deeply wrong with this. I guess
this is gen z right, a little bit of millennials. Eric,
you have to account for this. I was going to say,
I've never been prouder to be thirty. You just made
(19:37):
the cut, I did.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
You just squeaked by. There's no chance I think this
is acceptable.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
What the hell's wrong with everybody who came behind you.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
That's a great question. Wow, their parents wants to drop
them on their head or something. Nineteen percent said they're
neutral on the question. Neutral.
Speaker 4 (19:53):
I don't know how you can be neutral.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
So you have forty one percent who thinks it's a
acceptable nineteen percent neutral.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
That's sixty percent.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Who aren't really bothered by somebody getting murdered in the
streets in New York.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
Hey was an executive, he was a CEO. He had it.
Speaker 6 (20:12):
Coming because people don't like him because he made a
lot of money. And you know how the insurance company is.
I mean, I don't like insurance companies. I don't know
how many people do. But we're not advocating to murder
the CEOs of insurance companies.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
I I'm just I you know, I'm looking at this
other thing because you may you know, if you're if
you're a certain age, you grew up getting most of
your news from television in the newspapers, right and the radio,
of course. But here is pulling from a poster named
(20:49):
Doug shown now he used to be Bill Clinton's bolster,
and it rec hears He's been a commentator on Fox
and Newsmax, but he has still has his polling company.
Maybe this explains things I don't know. Three quarters of
Americans under thirty get their news from social media, eighty
(21:12):
four percent of people over sixty five, eighty four percent
get it from television. So you have and you know,
I guess in between you have kind of a sliding scale.
The younger you are, the less TV and the more
social media. But it was overwhelming for seniors, and it
(21:35):
was overwhelming for social media. And if you look at
which social media, sixty one percent of Americans under the
age of thirty get their news primarily from TikTok and
fifty five percent from Instagram. So if you run into
a thirty year old, pretty good odds they got their
(21:58):
news that morning from TikTok or Instagram and pretty good
odds they think shooting a CEO is okay if he's
from the healthcare industry.
Speaker 6 (22:06):
Maybe I need to do a newscast on TikTok.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
Better get it in while you can before it's banned.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Yeah, right, January nineteenth, that might be a good idea
to shut it down. The number of people over the
age of sixty five getting their news from TikTok eight percent,
from Instagram ten percent. Now not only see you know,
I used to think, okay, it's just a different transmission source, right,
(22:36):
because I look at Instagram and I see, you know,
the ABC News has a feed, and Fox has a feed,
and all the traditional networks. But you could see that
most people on TikTok and Instagram are not using traditional
media sources, and it's it's just a new venue. I
guess these are are just mysterious influencers.
Speaker 4 (23:00):
Yeah, you're going to get your news from an influence.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
Yeah, YouTube people, podcasters. I mean, there's a whole array.
And some of these people got noticed because Trump was
going on their shows, and I, you know, I somewhat
keep track of the podcast world, but some of these
shows are apparently that Trump is showing up on and
are very popular.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
I'd never heard of these people.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
And then there's a whole other group, you know, who
didn't make the news during the last election, where I
guess are influencing sixty to seventy five percent of the population.
I guess everybody's running their own news service now and
who knows what you're getting. But there's a lot of propaganda.
There's a lot of very uh strident ideologies that are
(23:43):
being promoted under the guise of news. I mean, people
think they're getting news from TikTok. Yeah, even though it
could be a crazy I'm insulted.
Speaker 4 (23:51):
If you want real news, you come here KF five.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
And you don't want anybody killed.
Speaker 6 (23:56):
I do not well, well, you know you know where
I stand on not CEOs. I'm not saying that some
of the idiots on the.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
Road right exactly. I think you hurled death threats on
your way home from work every day.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
I don't know that.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
That just really shocked me because that means people under thirty,
not all of them obviously, but you got about sixty
percent are living in a different world than what I'm
living in. And it doesn't matter what we all think,
and it doesn't matter about the you know, the and
you know the news industry has discredited itself so many times,
all their bogus stories over the years. I mean, they
(24:39):
went really off the cliff during the Trump administration, and
it's permanently hurt them. They've lost a lot of credibility
with people. But the young people never bought into it
to begin with. They just don't watch, They never watched,
They don't care.
Speaker 6 (24:55):
But you have to have some common sense and knowing
it's not okay just to go gun down a CEO
of an insurance company.
Speaker 4 (25:03):
I mean, you really you need to know.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
I mean, that's There's a woman named Taylor Lorenz. Have
you ever heard of her? She was a writer for
the Washington Post. She ultra woke, eventually got fired by
the by the Post and uh she has like her
own communications online, right, And she said, if you watched
(25:28):
a loved one die because of an insurance conglomerate has
denied their life saving treatment as a cost cutting measure, yes,
it's natural to wish that the people who run such
organizations would suffer the same fate.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
Well, you remember all the TikTok comments I was telling
you about that said thoughts and copays and thoughts and paths.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
And I thought that was just you know, a media hype.
You know, because you always find a few random idiots online, right,
You can always go to the comments section and pick
out a half a dozen of the stupid people or
the trolls. The people are just stirring up stuff. That's
what struck me. Is like, No, it looks like, you know,
forty one percent say cool, shoot the guy in the
back again.
Speaker 6 (26:08):
I understand people's frustration because I feel it too. With
the insurance industry and them denying claims in the whole
pre existing conditions. I could understand why somebody would be
so angry. And fortunately I haven't lost a loved one
who has, you know, denied insurance, and I know if
I did, I would be I'd be furious.
Speaker 4 (26:28):
But you can't.
Speaker 6 (26:30):
You can't say that it's okay to go and just
start shooting and murdering people.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
Taylor Lorenz again she's the former Washington postwriter, said she
believes in the sanctity of life, and I think that's
why I fell, along with so many other Americans' joy
after Thompson was murdered, unfortunately, and she was being interviewed
by Piers Morgan, and he said, how can this make
you joyful? The guy's a husband, a father, he's been
gunned down in the middle of Manhattan. Why does that
(26:55):
make you feel joyful?
Speaker 1 (27:00):
But it does.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
People openly celebrated. And I thought they were just acting
up for their social media feed, just to be controversial
and cool and all that. No, they really meant it.
They're happy he's dead. They think it's justified. All right,
when we come back, anybody hungry.
Speaker 4 (27:16):
I'm always hungry.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
I think this would fit into a vegan diet. We
have a new Kamala Harris word salad.
Speaker 4 (27:24):
Oh. I thought you were really maybe bringing in some
good food.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
It's very nourishing. Okay, it's good brain food. It's a superfood.
Her word salad super food.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
All right, that's next.
Speaker 5 (27:38):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
Kamala Harris has rarely been seen since she lost the election,
which is now about six weeks ago. She surfaced briefly
in a video to her supporters, and she looked like
she was loaded on chardonnay sunded like she was loaded.
But finally she gave a real speech. This is the
first time she's spoken at Prince George's County Prince George's
(28:08):
County Community College.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
In Maryland, that's where she was appearing here.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
And we have a plate of one of her famous
word salads. World famous word salad. Let's roll and see
what this is.
Speaker 7 (28:22):
So I will say this as we close out this year.
I ask of you this, that those here and anyone watching,
that you will not walk away, that you will stay
true to your spirit and your sense of purpose, that
(28:47):
you will continue to fight for the promise of America.
And I ask you to remember the context in which
you exist.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
Yeah I did that.
Speaker 8 (29:04):
Uh huh.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
Remember the context in which you exist?
Speaker 2 (29:26):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (29:26):
I did that.
Speaker 4 (29:28):
Now what does she mean when she says, yeah, I
did that.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
She one of her most famous word salads. She said
during the campaign. I don't know what's wrong with you,
young people. You think you just fell out of a
coconut tree. You exist in the context of all in
which you live and what you and what you came
before you. And so that was such a confusing jumble
(29:53):
of nothing that it became a whole thing on the
internet for a while. See, And so that's why they
started wiggling because you know under thirty they get all
their news from TikTok, right you see, Yeah, so that
this was a big TikTok mean, and the people wonder,
(30:14):
I don't understand.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
How could she lose? Did you see Trump yesterday?
Speaker 2 (30:20):
Seventy minutes unscripted, thirty six questions from the press. Maybe
you didn't like the answers, but he had answers, He
had complete sentences, He had thoughts and paragraphs and policies.
How did Harris campaign for one hundred and seven days
and not what press conference?
Speaker 1 (30:38):
Like that? Not what?
Speaker 2 (30:40):
Not? Even for ten minutes? He did seventy minutes. He
could have gone on for another seventy. And I keep
reading about all these TV panels and online panels and
they're all Kamala Harris lose. I mean, she had a
financial advantage, a billion dollars more. It because she can't
(31:02):
speak and she can't think. That's why it's wrong with you. Well,
that doesn't show up in the polling.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
You can't pull that.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
When you think someone's a dope, that's usually not a
choice a poster gives you.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
Did you vote did you.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
Not vote for Kamala Harris because you thought she was
a dope, yes or no. They don't ask that question
and people are too polite to give a truthful answer.
Speaker 1 (31:23):
Believe me, that was the issue. If she wasn't a dope,
she could have won.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
Yeah I did that. Yeah, but she can't think and
she can't talk, and they want her to run for governor. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
I did that in California.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
And that's fortunately some people are like speaking up and saying, wait, well,
hold on time out here, before this bandwagon starts and
everybody's supposed to salute and say yes she should be governor. No, stop,
hold on a second, we already have a disaster. You're
gonna follow up a newsom with Kamala Harris.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
How much more can this day take?
