Speaker 1 (00:00):
Can't f I am six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
You're listening to the John Cobel Podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
We're on every day from one until fourth and then
if you miss anything after four o'clock John Cobelt Show
on demand, it's the podcast and that is posted shortly
after four o'clock. And we've spent some of the show
today promoting our fellow, our fellow teammate, Gavin Newsom.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
He's our new best friend.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
He has a.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Podcast too on the iHeartRadio app. It's his second one,
and this one is called This is Gavin Newsom, and
he wants to engage right wing leaders and commentators and
try to find some common ground.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
You guys are on the same page now, and.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
I just playing a half dozen clips earlier in the show.
I found a lot of common ground because he renounced
at least a half a dozen pillars of woke, and
we'll get to that coming up later. But one pillar
of woke that he has abandoned is the idea of
(01:08):
biological men who transitioned to women. Newsom said they shouldn't
play college sports, that that's unfair. And we're going to
talk to Bill as Sale in just a minute. The
assemblyman from the Inland Empire, because he has a bill
to keep boys out of girls sports in this state.
(01:32):
Ten years ago, there was a law pass that allowed
biological boys transitioning into girls to compete against girls. And
we've all seen the video of what happens. Just because
you transitioned, you really don't lose your your masculine strength
and athletic ability. So maybe you don't believe me, but
(01:54):
here is Newsom and Charlie Kirk on Newsom's podcast.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
You asked a good faith question. Do we Democrats get
out of the wilderness? Yeah, this one is an eighty
twenty issue in York Times poll.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Right, that's all.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
I agree with you, right, getting crushed on and like
crush and you have an opportunity in the state to
be like. Look, I have a heart for Ady Hernandez.
I have a heart for the San Jose volleyball player. Yeah,
let's give them compassion. What's not fair is just for
like a woman's entire woman's sports.
Speaker 5 (02:18):
I agree you know by the way I agree with you.
I agree with you, And it's interesting I stress tested
this child. I was wondering, I said, you know, in California,
and I've been a leader in the LGBTQ places as
face as you know, back in two thousand and four,
was marrying sane sex couples. And I know we have
different opinion on marriage equality, and so I've been at
this for years and years.
Speaker 6 (02:35):
I take a bad seat to no one, but I
was actually on the issue of.
Speaker 5 (02:38):
Sports, which in the last few years has just exploded,
trying to understand and understand the ten athletes in the
NC TWOA five hundred and ten thousand athletes, but ten athletes,
and but how profound And even my own friend Cohort
people saying, the hell is going on?
Speaker 6 (02:53):
Why aren't you calling this out? When did this happen?
Speaker 5 (02:56):
So in two thousand turns out in twenty fourteen, years
before I was governor, there was a law established that
established the legal principles that allow the allowed trans athletes
and women's sports. But the issue of fairness is completely jit.
So I completely align with you, and we've got to
own that. We've got to acknowledge that. I don't say
that through the prism of politics because you disagree with
(03:17):
same sex marriage on principle.
Speaker 6 (03:20):
And so I'm not.
Speaker 5 (03:21):
And by the way, I value the fact that You're
not trying to walk away from that principle because electorally.
Speaker 6 (03:28):
The minor and I don't want to walk.
Speaker 5 (03:30):
Away from this principle because of electoral but it is
an issue of fairness, and I think Democrats.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Well, that was a long winded answer.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
My friend Cohort, he meant my friends, right, when you
talk about your friends, what's the phrase you use my friends?
Speaker 1 (03:48):
My friends, Deborah, my friends. You've never said, my friend, cohort.
Speaker 7 (03:52):
I've never used the word cohort, cohort in a conversational settings.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
The research word. It's like in a certain demographic. All right, Well,
let's get Bill a sale on, because Bill is asking
a good question here. If now that Newsom has renounced
transgenders in women's sports, is he going to try to
reverse the California law from ten years ago?
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Bill? How are you? I'm good?
Speaker 6 (04:23):
John?
Speaker 8 (04:23):
How are you? Do you think Gavin has like one
of those words of the day apps because he uses
bizarre words all the time. I wonder where he gets it.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
I wonder how he speaks to his family at dinner
if he uses all that weird jargon.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Uh do you believe?
Speaker 2 (04:37):
I mean, I don't know if you heard the podcast
or heard the clips. We've been playing them all afternoon.
It seems like he's he's he's turned his back on
account at least six different pillars of wokeness.
Speaker 8 (04:51):
But has he You know this scene with Gavin Newsom,
he's got like a split personality. There's Governor Newsom and
that we have podcast Newsom. He did the same thing
when he debated Ron De Santis. He sounded so reasonable
and moderate and it was like opposite day. So he
goes on this podcast. He says all these things. He
says it's not fair to have girls compete against boys
(05:12):
in sports. He acts like he's a spectator. He's the
governor of the state of California. He could stop it today, John,
he could sign an executive order like President Trump did, saying,
you know what, We're going to enforce Title nine in
the state of California. It's federal law, at Trump's state law.
I'm directing all state agencies and schools to comply with
Title nine. No more boys on the girls teams. He
(05:32):
could do that today. He's not going to do it
because he's full of it.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
That's why that's why we wanted to talk to you.
I mean because you are immediately saying, okay, if you
mean this, here's what you ought to do next, And
you ought to direct the legislature to pass a law
repealing the old law and ban boys from playing in girls' sports.
Speaker 8 (05:56):
You know, it's funny this law passed in twenty fourteen.
It didn't get a lot of it at the time.
This issue wasn't really that big of a deal back then.
But in twenty fourteen they changed the law in California
said no longer do you have to you know, assign
kids based on their biological sext you have to assign
them based on their gender identity. So that that's really
(06:17):
what changed everything and put the schools in the position
they are now. So all the locker rooms and bathroom
and sports teams, it's based on gender identity, which is
just very subjective. Whatever, just make it up.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Yes, you could just make it up and say, you know,
I'm identifying as a woman now, so I want to
compete in a women's event and then win it and
brutalize the other the other female competitors, And who.
Speaker 8 (06:43):
Are we to question your reality? Joan? So, I mean,
that's it's just it's so bizarre. So my bill very
simple at ABE eight forty four. It reverses the twenty
fourteen law. That's it. We're going to go back to
the way it's always been. And you know, the other
argument that really bothers me is, oh, this isn't really
an issue. It only applies one percent of cases. Why
(07:04):
are we radically changing the way we operate in the
state at schools, in our laws for one percent of
the population. You have to impose all this stuff on
the other nine hundred percent.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
It doesn't.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
We have murder laws too, and less than one percent
of people commit murder. That's that's a ridiculous response.
Speaker 8 (07:23):
To cite a statistic, and we're responding, we're not going
out of our way doing crazy bills. They change the law, John,
They put those boys on the girls teams, and if
you respond, they say, you're creating culture wars. John, You're
you're you're getting these kids killed. You're you're going to
(07:43):
get them killed. They're just trying to live.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
Yeah, I do them alone.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
They well, they're what they do and this works to
some extent. Is is they try to emotion emotionally manipulate people,
make them feel guilty, try to tap into empathy and uh,
and people are very susceptible to those manipulations that goes
on all day, goes on with politics, the media, advertising,
everything is about manipulating somebody else's brain and releasing certain
(08:10):
emotional chemicals so that they respond in a way that
you could take advantage of. That's what this whole movement
is about. Nobody's killing themselves because they can't compete in girls' sports.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
That doesn't happen.
Speaker 8 (08:23):
And you know, John, I actually do have empathy for
these kids. I think you know, it's not easy and
I don't know what information they're being given or how
they're being guided, but putting them in these situations, putting
a boy in the room with a bunch of girls,
it's not going to help them. It's going to be
awkward for everyone. It's not fair to the girls. I
don't think that's a good solution. So what they're doing,
(08:44):
I think is not compassionate at all to anybody, the
girls or the trans kids.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
You're right, I.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Mean, this is a clear cut issue that you know,
eighty to ninety percent of the public agrees with, and
it absolutely destroyed Kamala Harris's presidential run, which Newsome went
on in great detail. He thought that that Trump's ad
was brutal against Kamala.
Speaker 8 (09:09):
That was John, I don't think Gavin does anything without
Like I bet you he has some polling or focus group.
He's done something for him to come. This isn't nothing's
by accident. He didn't accidentally wake up and do this.
So he clearly wants to run for president twenty twenty eight.
He must have done some focus group or polling said
this is a big issue. You got to clean this up.
So he goes today on Charlie Kirk Part Pard. It's
(09:31):
a huge platform on the conservative media, and now people
think Gavin Newsom's woken up. He's so reasonable. Meanwhile, he's
not going to change anything in our policy.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
I don't know that's classic.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
He always has like some kind of task force or
blue ribbon panel and nothing ever comes of it. Now
he's a total fake and phony. But you know you're
doing the right thing. Highlight it, press him on it, publicly,
force him into a corner.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Thanks for coming on Bill time. John, Thank you all right,
Bill Salley.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
He's the Republican assemblyman from the Inland Empire. When we
come back, I gotta read to you some of the
backlash that's going on across the country because he's made
the front of all the main media outlets and it's
running on cable news because now all the progressives are
very angry with Newsom.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
They've been betrayed. We're gonna do that next week.
Speaker 9 (10:27):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Can if I am six forty live everywhere on the
iHeartRadio app. You can follow us John Cobelt Radio on
social media. Well, Gavin Newsom is the center of attention.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
You know.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
We started the show by being playing clips of Gavin's
new podcast, since he's a fellow podcaster on the iHeart
media app and he's got a new podcast that he
debuted today.
Speaker 10 (10:58):
It's called This is Gavin Newsom. We just thought we
would do some some lighthearted.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
Promotions, some very very very nice.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
You know, I like to support you know, it's like
I have him come on all the time and you know,
give his show a boost every day.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
And it's it's important that you've got to collaborate.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
We're all, we're all teammates, were all, we all want
to make money for the big company.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Right.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
What I didn't realize is that the clips of a
couple of clips of his podcast would become a major
national news story just in the last couple of hours,
because is uh the audio has circulated all over the country.
It's become a big deal on cable news and all
the leading news sites such as The New York Times,
(11:43):
because Gavin Newsom has said, it's deeply unfair that you
have biological men playing women's sports.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Because now they've transgendered. Is that a verb.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
You made?
Speaker 2 (11:58):
I like to make that sounds it's hard to explain this,
you know, it's clunky to try to explain this. These
are men who are biologically men and then they transition
to women, and then they want to play organized sports,
especially in college, some in high school. And so they
had two writers for The New York Times who wrote
(12:22):
Governor Gavin Newsom, embarking on a personal post mortem of
the failures of his Democratic Party, suggested that the participation
of transgender athletes and women's sports was deeply unfair. The
comments by Newsom, who has backed LGBTQ.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Causes for decades.
Speaker 10 (12:41):
One of the first American elected officials to officiate same
sex weddings represented a remarkable break from other top Democrats
on the issue and signaled a newly defensive position on
transgender rights among many in his party. And he then
goes on to say he made it to Charlie Kirk,
who's a right wing influencer podcaster. Newsom invited Kirk, who
(13:03):
has a history of inflammatory and conspirational remarks, onto the
debut episode of his new podcast, This is Gavin Newsom
for an eighty one minute discussion. Wow, Eric, you listened
to all eighty one minutes?
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Yeah, I had to. How'd you do that? That's a
good question. Oh my god. I'm going to start a
GoFundMe for you. Well, you can start off with buying
me a drink. Bye, buy you more than one.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
It says the governor has long been fascinated with the
conservative media ecosystem and has tried to inject himself into it.
People need to understand your success, your influence, what you've
been up to.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
See.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
It was supposed to be Newsom interviewing Kirk, and it
kind of switched and Kirk was actually interviewing Newsom. In fact,
some people thought it was a Charlie Kirk podcast. Now
This is Newsom was supposed to be the host here
and it says here. In recent months, he softened his
tone toward Trump. He spent mon much of his conversation
(14:01):
reflecting on the myriad ways that Kamala Harris's campaign failed
failed to reach key voters. But his most significant revelation
is when Kirk pressed him to agree that it was
unfair for transgender women to compete in transgender women to
compete in women's sports. I think it's an issue of fairness.
I completely agree with you on that it's an issue
(14:23):
of fairness. It is deeply unfair. Hence that's why we
had Bill sale On a few minutes go saying, well,
if you think that, why don't you sign a Sale's
bill get it passed through the legislature because he wants
to reverse the California law that allows this kind of
deep unfairness. You know, he used strong language. If you're
going to call something deeply unfair, then you should be
(14:44):
championing the legislation that has been written to reverse that unfairness.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
Right, I think that's fair. And Newsom has become.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
The most prominent official in the party to lament his
position on transgender participation in sports, and now some Democrats
are pushing back. Scott Wiener of that addach said it
was deeply disappointing to hear Newsom align with Republicans. It
was a gut punch from any Democratic leader, particularly Gavin Newsom.
(15:20):
Kelly Robinson, the president of the Human Rights Campaign that
is the largest LGBTQ advocacy group, said Newsom's comments were
misguided and politically inept.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
The path at twenty twenty eight is.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Not paved with the betrayal of vulnerable communities. On his podcast,
Newsom spoke at length about the political effectiveness of attacking
transgender people. He called Trump's they Them commercial a great ad.
He also questioned the practice of people announcing their preferred
pronouns when introducing themselves.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Quote.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
I had one meeting where people started going around the
table with I'm like, what the hell?
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Why is this the biggest issue? See that?
Speaker 2 (16:05):
That's that's where I That's where I find common ground.
I had exactly the same reaction what people started doing.
Speaker 10 (16:11):
It's like, what the hell I'm I may he him.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
I didn't know, all right, Good to know what team
you're on there? Good see common ground. Now I'm gonna
play you some Gavenusom clips coming up, some stuff I
didn't play in the one o'clock hour. If you want
to hear others, that's what the podcast is for. And
I'm in competition with him. He's gonna get like ten
(16:40):
million downloads today.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
I'm running up.
Speaker 9 (16:43):
Hell, you're listening to John Kobel's on demand from KFI
A six forty.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Got so much going on today earlier, and we're gonna
get to the Gavenusom clips in just a moment. I
may be playing them all next week. I just got
so much stuff here and I can't get to it.
Told you earlier in the show that a federal judge
ordered an audit of the Los Angeles Homeless Services Agency.
(17:12):
It's known as LASA Homeless Services Authority. And this is
the city and county monstrosity that has blown billions of
dollars of your tax money. And I've been telling you
for a long time. None of them, they're not going
to be able to account for much of the money.
It's just disappeared because a lot of these nonprofits are
(17:33):
crooked and they steal the money. Because the nonprofits are
run by friends and relatives and campaign donors, and the
money is shunted off to them. It's exactly what Elon
Musk and Trump is finding. I think anybody who's upset
with Musk and Trump for digging up all the corruption,
you're completely out of your mind. You should renounce your citizenship.
You're an idiot.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
There is a tremendous amount of fraud and waste and
corruption and just people in government outright stealing money. And
this proves it here. So this auditor Alvarez and Marshall
identified two point three billion dollars of funding for city programs,
homeless programs. They don't know where the money went. They
(18:15):
could they just just say they have no idea where
it went what it went for. And it's a devastating audit.
And now you're going to see all these politicians running
around like scared little rats. And here's one of them.
LA City council Woman Nythia Rahman. Now, she is an
out and out socialist. She has no interest in having
(18:41):
this function in a successful capitalist society. She's one of
four Democratic socialists on the city council and they are
a political cancer. And she's now chair of the City
Council's Housing and Homelessness Committee, and she said that the report.
Speaker 10 (18:59):
Means that.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
They have to have an audit of the audit, the
findings of this audit reinforced the need for real oversight.
So she's proposed to centralized performance management and oversight of
the city spending.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
Well, we just had the oversight.
Speaker 10 (19:21):
It's the audit, and the audit found that you can't
tell where the you can't tell where.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
The money's going. This is more than just metrics. It's
about saving people's lives by bringing them indoors to safety.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
You don't do it because.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
The because the the organizations that the city hires to
bring them inside, they don't bring people inside because they're
they're they're not in that business. They're in the business
to steal the money. And and all these politicians think
they can.
Speaker 10 (19:54):
Just babble their way out of it by pretending that, well,
you know.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
We just need more oversight.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
This audit was the oversight, and this audit tells you
that the money has been has disappeared, and is not
coming back. So it's not about oversight, it's about getting
rid of the whole monstrosity. It stop stealing our tax money.
A billion three hundred million last year was paid by
(20:26):
the city for homelessness, and we find out much of
the money disappeared. Meantime, the fire department is only fifty
percent funded. What I've been telling you for two and
a half months now, we have half a fire department.
It's half funded. We need double the firefighters, double the
engines and equipment. And the reason that we don't have
(20:49):
double the firefighters is because of a billion three going
to homelessness. And now this audit has proven that much
of that money is gone and the homelessness is worse,
and she wants to come up with another.
Speaker 10 (21:06):
Oversight, real oversight, performance management. More oversight is just gonna
prove that more money is being stolen. We did the audit, well,
I guess you could do it again. You run the
committee that is supposed to be the oversight. She's chairman
(21:29):
of chairwoman of the City Council's Housing and Homelessness committee.
That's the oversight. She's the oversight. She completely failed. So
now she's saying that there's got to be another committee
doing extra oversight, extra auditing. What the hell, she's the
oversight and they did the audit and everybody's stealing the money.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
I mean, I'm just going insane here. I mean, I'm
just completely, absolutely going insane. Ramen her office pointed out
that despite the city investing over a billion dollars annually, yeah,
one point three billion, there is currently no stafford department
within the city that is tasked with monitoring the outcomes
(22:13):
of the investment. Well, she Karen Vass has been running
the place for two plus years. Nythia Ramen has been
in place. This is her second term.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
Well, what do you mean you.
Speaker 10 (22:24):
Just discovered that there is no staff in the city
monitoring the outcome of the homeless spending. She just discovered this.
She's got to be in her fifth or sixth year
as a council person. Bass has been running around claiming
(22:46):
homelessness is there.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
You got a gold star. That's the only thing she's accomplished. No,
it's a total failure. Ramen is a total failure. Bass
is obviously a total failure.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
I mean.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
This comes out of the judges. Judge David o'carter. He
hired this agency. See Bass didn't hire this, Nythia Rahman
didn't hire this agency.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
This agency to do.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
The audit was hired by the judge because he could
see that nobody knew where the money went. He could
see that billions were spent and everything got worse. Unbelievable.
(23:41):
This is going and Newsom. Newsom admitted a few months
ago that his twenty four billion dollars that he has
spent since he was governor is mostly unaccounted for.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
Two.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
So the county, of the city and the state money
tens of billions of dollars collectively over the last six seven,
eight years. All the money's gone. And the voters here
in LA voted in November to increase the sales tax
to spend more money on homelessness. So the criminals that
run the nonprofits and the dopes, the stupidoes who run
(24:17):
the government agencies can blow more money. They blow all
the money, and they never even write down how much
they stole. They don't even write down how much they spent.
The auditor goes in, It's like, I don't know, we
don't have any pepperwork here. Same thing with high speed rail,
by the way, same thing with the unemployment payouts during
the lockdown, during the pandemic, all the same. I never
(24:38):
knew this until the last few years. This is how
all this spending increased dramatically while the government budgets have
blown it up so much and everything gets worse. They're
stealing the money and they don't write it down. That's
your answer. You see that going on in Washington with
Musk and Trump people there have been stealing the money
and not writing it down. Are we coming back do?
(25:01):
We'll end with some Newsom clips. There'll be more on
this tomorrow, by the way, and Monday and forever.
Speaker 9 (25:09):
You're listening to John Cobelts on demand from KFI Am
sixty John.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
Coblt Show, kf I Am six forty Live everywhere on
the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Conway's coming up in moments.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
So we started the first hour we played a lot
of Gavin Newsomb clips from his new iHeart podcast.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
This is Gavin Newsom is the title.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
He's talking to Charlie Kirk, who's a right wing podcaster,
activist and Trump supporter. And Newsom's new stick is he
has this podcast and he's going to talk to conservative
influencers and try to find common ground, try to understand why,
(25:50):
you know, Trump's brand of politics has been so successful.
So we've played a lot of clips of earlier of
Newsom denouncing a number of woke pillars. It's trying to
convince people that he's gone unwoke. But here's a couple
of things I just want to play for my own
curiosity here and cut fourteen. Uh, Charlie Kirk starts talking
(26:14):
about Newsome cleaning up San Francisco and the homeless only
when Chinese leaders came to town.
Speaker 4 (26:21):
Quality of life is quality alive? Agree with you on
this one especially, but like I mean, look, no, I
know and canvas out of control unacceptable? Yes, issues of
just quality. It's like, you know where I'm going with this.
Why is it you were able to clean it up
for gig Pango can clean guys.
Speaker 6 (26:35):
That was the due I've ever heard the.
Speaker 5 (26:37):
Way you guys weaponized that. I saw them on twenty
five things. The thing that was that was, you know what,
I will happily, happily revert back to your can I
as weaponized.
Speaker 6 (26:49):
In this case weaponized? Can in this case can I
weapon I guess.
Speaker 4 (26:52):
The let's give me a point, but govern in all
the respect, I saw a beautiful picture of San Francisco
that looked like Singapore by the way, and then Pinglee
leaves and the walking Dead come.
Speaker 5 (27:01):
Down, by the way, it was I pack you had
dozens and dozens of foreign leaders in California is not
San Francisco.
Speaker 6 (27:08):
But I am the governor of California. I want the
mayor of California. Want the mayor the mayor.
Speaker 4 (27:11):
But I just want to say I also say that
we had to clean up. But you have to admit
there's it's emblematic as something that if enough important people
show up, it can get clean.
Speaker 6 (27:19):
So why not make it clean all the time?
Speaker 5 (27:20):
That's exactly, by the way, that's my energy. I think
you've missed a lot of my press conferences. I've been
saying that to all these mayors. But but state vision
is realized at the low, at the level, it's about accountability, transparency.
If you can't clean up the streets, we're going to
redirect the money. He seems to be more moderate and
progress is being Hey, by the way, what's going on
with homelessess and all these red states?
Speaker 6 (27:40):
You're seeing it through the wood the country.
Speaker 4 (27:43):
I'm not here defending every red state, but I'm but
I'm making the point.
Speaker 6 (27:47):
This is hard.
Speaker 4 (27:48):
I'm sure there's a lot of daughters in the qual
that's huge, right.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
Yeah, boy, he is thin skinned and prickly and defensive.
Isn't he when you nail, and then he's got this
word it's weaponized, weaponized. What the hell does that mean?
It's true you did it for the Chinese leader. You
don't do it for the citizens of San Francisco who
pay your salary.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
That's wrong with him. He knows it's wrong. And so
what he does.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
He just starts battling and talking over uh Kirk, It
just tries to steamroll him. Let me play. I got time. No,
Conway's loitering outside, all right, right, this will be continued.
I should just you know, take an hour and a
half off and run the whole Gavin Newsom podcast. Uh,
(28:37):

got Conway.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
Hey, So Newsome's podcast.
Speaker 10 (28:44):
I haven't heard it yet, but I have read a
lot of the reviews already.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
And man, are they getting down on him for this.
Oh he's renounced a lot of woke stuff. But the
right's not getting down. The let's getting done. Yeah.
Speaker 10 (28:57):
I know he's offending the progressives, right, but he's got
to reach out to that group. You can't ignore that,
you know, the opposition. You got to find out, you know,
what's going on with them. He's running for president. Of
course he does. He has to.
Speaker 1 (29:12):

They don't know what happens when you k I.
Speaker 10 (29:34):
Suggested a guy to him, not in Huntington Beach, but
another guy to do a police award show, and then
they didn't hire him back. I said, why didn't hire
him back? He said, he got a duy and a domestic,
and so we can't have him giving around police awards
for the DUI and a domestic. I said, oh, is
that how I can get out.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
Of this thing?
Speaker 10 (29:55):
He said, yeah, yeah, get a dui and a domestic.
We'll step you'll step aside. Sandy Spears is coming on. Well,

But you got birds. Yeah, we've got two small green finches.

Is that right? Yeah? And they just sit there and
they tweet a lot in the morning. I mean they
put on a good show in the morning. Yeah. What
are their names?
Speaker 2 (30:51):
He gave them some kind of complicated Greek names that
I don't understand. We have an unusual family.
Speaker 1 (30:59):
I like that. You listen a lot at the house.
You're like me, you know, great listeners at the house.
That's right. What's a dog's name? I don't know. It's
a dog, Yeah, David A name I don't know. It
comes when they say there's food on the table.
Speaker 4 (31:14):
No.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
He had a lizard once and it was like seventeen,
so I'm just gonna call it lizard.
Speaker 10 (31:20):
Doug Steckler, my old partner in radio, had winter and
summer names for his dogs. In the winter, they were
different than his summer names. That's a funny dude. And
then Dean Sharp is on today the House Whisper, so
it's got it. We got too much show for an
hour or somebody me too? I had too much today?
(31:41):
All right, too much show. Conway's next.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
My Kruzer is the news 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 f I am six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
You're listening to the John Cobel Podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
We're on every day from one until fourth and then
if you miss anything after four o'clock John Cobelt Show
on demand, it's the podcast and that is posted shortly
after four o'clock. And we've spent some of the show
today promoting our fellow, our fellow teammate, Gavin Newsom.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
He's our new best friend.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
He has a.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Podcast too on the iHeartRadio app. It's his second one,
and this one is called This is Gavin Newsom, and
he wants to engage right wing leaders and commentators and
try to find some common ground.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
You guys are on the same page now, and.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
I just playing a half dozen clips earlier in the show.
I found a lot of common ground because he renounced
at least a half a dozen pillars of woke, and
we'll get to that coming up later. But one pillar
of woke that he has abandoned is the idea of
(01:08):
biological men who transitioned to women. Newsom said they shouldn't
play college sports, that that's unfair. And we're going to
talk to Bill as Sale in just a minute. The
assemblyman from the Inland Empire, because he has a bill
to keep boys out of girls sports in this state.
(01:32):
Ten years ago, there was a law pass that allowed
biological boys transitioning into girls to compete against girls. And
we've all seen the video of what happens. Just because
you transitioned, you really don't lose your your masculine strength
and athletic ability. So maybe you don't believe me, but
(01:54):
here is Newsom and Charlie Kirk on Newsom's podcast.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
You asked a good faith question. Do we Democrats get
out of the wilderness? Yeah, this one is an eighty
twenty issue in York Times poll.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Right, that's all.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
I agree with you, right, getting crushed on and like
crush and you have an opportunity in the state to
be like. Look, I have a heart for Ady Hernandez.
I have a heart for the San Jose volleyball player. Yeah,
let's give them compassion. What's not fair is just for
like a woman's entire woman's sports.
Speaker 5 (02:18):
I agree you know by the way I agree with you.
I agree with you, And it's interesting I stress tested
this child. I was wondering, I said, you know, in California,
and I've been a leader in the LGBTQ places as
face as you know, back in two thousand and four,
was marrying sane sex couples. And I know we have
different opinion on marriage equality, and so I've been at
this for years and years.
Speaker 6 (02:35):
I take a bad seat to no one, but I
was actually on the issue of.
Speaker 5 (02:38):
Sports, which in the last few years has just exploded,
trying to understand and understand the ten athletes in the
NC TWOA five hundred and ten thousand athletes, but ten athletes,
and but how profound And even my own friend Cohort
people saying, the hell is going on?
Speaker 6 (02:53):
Why aren't you calling this out? When did this happen?
Speaker 5 (02:56):
So in two thousand turns out in twenty fourteen, years
before I was governor, there was a law established that
established the legal principles that allow the allowed trans athletes
and women's sports. But the issue of fairness is completely jit.
So I completely align with you, and we've got to
own that. We've got to acknowledge that. I don't say
that through the prism of politics because you disagree with
(03:17):
same sex marriage on principle.
Speaker 6 (03:20):
And so I'm not.
Speaker 5 (03:21):
And by the way, I value the fact that You're
not trying to walk away from that principle because electorally.
Speaker 6 (03:28):
The minor and I don't want to walk.
Speaker 5 (03:30):
Away from this principle because of electoral but it is
an issue of fairness, and I think Democrats.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Well, that was a long winded answer.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
My friend Cohort, he meant my friends, right, when you
talk about your friends, what's the phrase you use my friends?
Speaker 1 (03:48):
My friends, Deborah, my friends. You've never said, my friend, cohort.
Speaker 7 (03:52):
I've never used the word cohort, cohort in a conversational settings.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
The research word. It's like in a certain demographic. All right, Well,
let's get Bill a sale on, because Bill is asking
a good question here. If now that Newsom has renounced
transgenders in women's sports, is he going to try to
reverse the California law from ten years ago?
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Bill? How are you? I'm good?
Speaker 6 (04:23):
John?
Speaker 8 (04:23):
How are you? Do you think Gavin has like one
of those words of the day apps because he uses
bizarre words all the time. I wonder where he gets it.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
I wonder how he speaks to his family at dinner
if he uses all that weird jargon.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Uh do you believe?
Speaker 2 (04:37):
I mean, I don't know if you heard the podcast
or heard the clips. We've been playing them all afternoon.
It seems like he's he's he's turned his back on
account at least six different pillars of wokeness.
Speaker 8 (04:51):
But has he You know this scene with Gavin Newsom,
he's got like a split personality. There's Governor Newsom and
that we have podcast Newsom. He did the same thing
when he debated Ron De Santis. He sounded so reasonable
and moderate and it was like opposite day. So he
goes on this podcast. He says all these things. He
says it's not fair to have girls compete against boys
(05:12):
in sports. He acts like he's a spectator. He's the
governor of the state of California. He could stop it today, John,
he could sign an executive order like President Trump did, saying,
you know what, We're going to enforce Title nine in
the state of California. It's federal law, at Trump's state law.
I'm directing all state agencies and schools to comply with
Title nine. No more boys on the girls teams. He
(05:32):
could do that today. He's not going to do it
because he's full of it.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
That's why that's why we wanted to talk to you.
I mean because you are immediately saying, okay, if you
mean this, here's what you ought to do next, And
you ought to direct the legislature to pass a law
repealing the old law and ban boys from playing in girls' sports.
Speaker 8 (05:56):
You know, it's funny this law passed in twenty fourteen.
It didn't get a lot of it at the time.
This issue wasn't really that big of a deal back then.
But in twenty fourteen they changed the law in California
said no longer do you have to you know, assign
kids based on their biological sext you have to assign
them based on their gender identity. So that that's really
(06:17):
what changed everything and put the schools in the position
they are now. So all the locker rooms and bathroom
and sports teams, it's based on gender identity, which is
just very subjective. Whatever, just make it up.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Yes, you could just make it up and say, you know,
I'm identifying as a woman now, so I want to
compete in a women's event and then win it and
brutalize the other the other female competitors, And who.
Speaker 8 (06:43):
Are we to question your reality? Joan? So, I mean,
that's it's just it's so bizarre. So my bill very
simple at ABE eight forty four. It reverses the twenty
fourteen law. That's it. We're going to go back to
the way it's always been. And you know, the other
argument that really bothers me is, oh, this isn't really
an issue. It only applies one percent of cases. Why
(07:04):
are we radically changing the way we operate in the
state at schools, in our laws for one percent of
the population. You have to impose all this stuff on
the other nine hundred percent.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
It doesn't.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
We have murder laws too, and less than one percent
of people commit murder. That's that's a ridiculous response.
Speaker 8 (07:23):
To cite a statistic, and we're responding, we're not going
out of our way doing crazy bills. They change the law, John,
They put those boys on the girls teams, and if
you respond, they say, you're creating culture wars. John, You're
you're you're getting these kids killed. You're you're going to
(07:43):
get them killed. They're just trying to live.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
Yeah, I do them alone.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
They well, they're what they do and this works to
some extent. Is is they try to emotion emotionally manipulate people,
make them feel guilty, try to tap into empathy and uh,
and people are very susceptible to those manipulations that goes
on all day, goes on with politics, the media, advertising,
everything is about manipulating somebody else's brain and releasing certain
(08:10):
emotional chemicals so that they respond in a way that
you could take advantage of. That's what this whole movement
is about. Nobody's killing themselves because they can't compete in girls' sports.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
That doesn't happen.
Speaker 8 (08:23):
And you know, John, I actually do have empathy for
these kids. I think you know, it's not easy and
I don't know what information they're being given or how
they're being guided, but putting them in these situations, putting
a boy in the room with a bunch of girls,
it's not going to help them. It's going to be
awkward for everyone. It's not fair to the girls. I
don't think that's a good solution. So what they're doing,
(08:44):
I think is not compassionate at all to anybody, the
girls or the trans kids.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
You're right, I.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Mean, this is a clear cut issue that you know,
eighty to ninety percent of the public agrees with, and
it absolutely destroyed Kamala Harris's presidential run, which Newsome went
on in great detail. He thought that that Trump's ad
was brutal against Kamala.
Speaker 8 (09:09):
That was John, I don't think Gavin does anything without
Like I bet you he has some polling or focus group.
He's done something for him to come. This isn't nothing's
by accident. He didn't accidentally wake up and do this.
So he clearly wants to run for president twenty twenty eight.
He must have done some focus group or polling said
this is a big issue. You got to clean this up.
So he goes today on Charlie Kirk Part Pard. It's
(09:31):
a huge platform on the conservative media, and now people
think Gavin Newsom's woken up. He's so reasonable. Meanwhile, he's
not going to change anything in our policy.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
I don't know that's classic.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
He always has like some kind of task force or
blue ribbon panel and nothing ever comes of it. Now
he's a total fake and phony. But you know you're
doing the right thing. Highlight it, press him on it, publicly,
force him into a corner.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Thanks for coming on Bill time. John, Thank you all right,
Bill Salley.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
He's the Republican assemblyman from the Inland Empire. When we
come back, I gotta read to you some of the
backlash that's going on across the country because he's made
the front of all the main media outlets and it's
running on cable news because now all the progressives are
very angry with Newsom.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
They've been betrayed. We're gonna do that next week.
Speaker 9 (10:27):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Can if I am six forty live everywhere on the
iHeartRadio app. You can follow us John Cobelt Radio on
social media. Well, Gavin Newsom is the center of attention.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
You know.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
We started the show by being playing clips of Gavin's
new podcast, since he's a fellow podcaster on the iHeart
media app and he's got a new podcast that he
debuted today.
Speaker 10 (10:58):
It's called This is Gavin Newsom. We just thought we
would do some some lighthearted.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
Promotions, some very very very nice.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
You know, I like to support you know, it's like
I have him come on all the time and you know,
give his show a boost every day.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
And it's it's important that you've got to collaborate.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
We're all, we're all teammates, were all, we all want
to make money for the big company.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Right.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
What I didn't realize is that the clips of a
couple of clips of his podcast would become a major
national news story just in the last couple of hours,
because is uh the audio has circulated all over the country.
It's become a big deal on cable news and all
the leading news sites such as The New York Times,
(11:43):
because Gavin Newsom has said, it's deeply unfair that you
have biological men playing women's sports.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Because now they've transgendered. Is that a verb.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
You made?
Speaker 2 (11:58):
I like to make that sounds it's hard to explain this,
you know, it's clunky to try to explain this. These
are men who are biologically men and then they transition
to women, and then they want to play organized sports,
especially in college, some in high school. And so they
had two writers for The New York Times who wrote
(12:22):
Governor Gavin Newsom, embarking on a personal post mortem of
the failures of his Democratic Party, suggested that the participation
of transgender athletes and women's sports was deeply unfair. The
comments by Newsom, who has backed LGBTQ.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Causes for decades.
Speaker 10 (12:41):
One of the first American elected officials to officiate same
sex weddings represented a remarkable break from other top Democrats
on the issue and signaled a newly defensive position on
transgender rights among many in his party. And he then
goes on to say he made it to Charlie Kirk,
who's a right wing influencer podcaster. Newsom invited Kirk, who
(13:03):
has a history of inflammatory and conspirational remarks, onto the
debut episode of his new podcast, This is Gavin Newsom
for an eighty one minute discussion. Wow, Eric, you listened
to all eighty one minutes?
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Yeah, I had to. How'd you do that? That's a
good question. Oh my god. I'm going to start a
GoFundMe for you. Well, you can start off with buying
me a drink. Bye, buy you more than one.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
It says the governor has long been fascinated with the
conservative media ecosystem and has tried to inject himself into it.
People need to understand your success, your influence, what you've
been up to.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
See.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
It was supposed to be Newsom interviewing Kirk, and it
kind of switched and Kirk was actually interviewing Newsom. In fact,
some people thought it was a Charlie Kirk podcast. Now
This is Newsom was supposed to be the host here
and it says here. In recent months, he softened his
tone toward Trump. He spent mon much of his conversation
(14:01):
reflecting on the myriad ways that Kamala Harris's campaign failed
failed to reach key voters. But his most significant revelation
is when Kirk pressed him to agree that it was
unfair for transgender women to compete in transgender women to
compete in women's sports. I think it's an issue of fairness.
I completely agree with you on that it's an issue
(14:23):
of fairness. It is deeply unfair. Hence that's why we
had Bill sale On a few minutes go saying, well,
if you think that, why don't you sign a Sale's
bill get it passed through the legislature because he wants
to reverse the California law that allows this kind of
deep unfairness. You know, he used strong language. If you're
going to call something deeply unfair, then you should be
(14:44):
championing the legislation that has been written to reverse that unfairness.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
Right, I think that's fair. And Newsom has become.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
The most prominent official in the party to lament his
position on transgender participation in sports, and now some Democrats
are pushing back. Scott Wiener of that addach said it
was deeply disappointing to hear Newsom align with Republicans. It
was a gut punch from any Democratic leader, particularly Gavin Newsom.
(15:20):
Kelly Robinson, the president of the Human Rights Campaign that
is the largest LGBTQ advocacy group, said Newsom's comments were
misguided and politically inept.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
The path at twenty twenty eight is.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Not paved with the betrayal of vulnerable communities. On his podcast,
Newsom spoke at length about the political effectiveness of attacking
transgender people. He called Trump's they Them commercial a great ad.
He also questioned the practice of people announcing their preferred
pronouns when introducing themselves.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Quote.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
I had one meeting where people started going around the
table with I'm like, what the hell?
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Why is this the biggest issue? See that?
Speaker 2 (16:05):
That's that's where I That's where I find common ground.
I had exactly the same reaction what people started doing.
Speaker 10 (16:11):
It's like, what the hell I'm I may he him.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
I didn't know, all right, Good to know what team
you're on there? Good see common ground. Now I'm gonna
play you some Gavenusom clips coming up, some stuff I
didn't play in the one o'clock hour. If you want
to hear others, that's what the podcast is for. And
I'm in competition with him. He's gonna get like ten
(16:40):
million downloads today.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
I'm running up.
Speaker 9 (16:43):
Hell, you're listening to John Kobel's on demand from KFI
A six forty.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Got so much going on today earlier, and we're gonna
get to the Gavenusom clips in just a moment. I
may be playing them all next week. I just got
so much stuff here and I can't get to it.
Told you earlier in the show that a federal judge
ordered an audit of the Los Angeles Homeless Services Agency.
(17:12):
It's known as LASA Homeless Services Authority. And this is
the city and county monstrosity that has blown billions of
dollars of your tax money. And I've been telling you
for a long time. None of them, they're not going
to be able to account for much of the money.
It's just disappeared because a lot of these nonprofits are
(17:33):
crooked and they steal the money. Because the nonprofits are
run by friends and relatives and campaign donors, and the
money is shunted off to them. It's exactly what Elon
Musk and Trump is finding. I think anybody who's upset
with Musk and Trump for digging up all the corruption,
you're completely out of your mind. You should renounce your citizenship.
You're an idiot.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
There is a tremendous amount of fraud and waste and
corruption and just people in government outright stealing money. And
this proves it here. So this auditor Alvarez and Marshall
identified two point three billion dollars of funding for city programs,
homeless programs. They don't know where the money went. They
(18:15):
could they just just say they have no idea where
it went what it went for. And it's a devastating audit.
And now you're going to see all these politicians running
around like scared little rats. And here's one of them.
LA City council Woman Nythia Rahman. Now, she is an
out and out socialist. She has no interest in having
(18:41):
this function in a successful capitalist society. She's one of
four Democratic socialists on the city council and they are
a political cancer. And she's now chair of the City
Council's Housing and Homelessness Committee, and she said that the report.
Speaker 10 (18:59):
Means that.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
They have to have an audit of the audit, the
findings of this audit reinforced the need for real oversight.
So she's proposed to centralized performance management and oversight of
the city spending.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
Well, we just had the oversight.
Speaker 10 (19:21):
It's the audit, and the audit found that you can't
tell where the you can't tell where.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
The money's going. This is more than just metrics. It's
about saving people's lives by bringing them indoors to safety.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
You don't do it because.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
The because the the organizations that the city hires to
bring them inside, they don't bring people inside because they're
they're they're not in that business. They're in the business
to steal the money. And and all these politicians think
they can.
Speaker 10 (19:54):
Just babble their way out of it by pretending that, well,
you know.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
We just need more oversight.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
This audit was the oversight, and this audit tells you
that the money has been has disappeared, and is not
coming back. So it's not about oversight, it's about getting
rid of the whole monstrosity. It stop stealing our tax money.
A billion three hundred million last year was paid by
(20:26):
the city for homelessness, and we find out much of
the money disappeared. Meantime, the fire department is only fifty
percent funded. What I've been telling you for two and
a half months now, we have half a fire department.
It's half funded. We need double the firefighters, double the
engines and equipment. And the reason that we don't have
(20:49):
double the firefighters is because of a billion three going
to homelessness. And now this audit has proven that much
of that money is gone and the homelessness is worse,
and she wants to come up with another.
Speaker 10 (21:06):
Oversight, real oversight, performance management. More oversight is just gonna
prove that more money is being stolen. We did the audit, well,
I guess you could do it again. You run the
committee that is supposed to be the oversight. She's chairman
(21:29):
of chairwoman of the City Council's Housing and Homelessness committee.
That's the oversight. She's the oversight. She completely failed. So
now she's saying that there's got to be another committee
doing extra oversight, extra auditing. What the hell, she's the
oversight and they did the audit and everybody's stealing the money.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
I mean, I'm just going insane here. I mean, I'm
just completely, absolutely going insane. Ramen her office pointed out
that despite the city investing over a billion dollars annually, yeah,
one point three billion, there is currently no stafford department
within the city that is tasked with monitoring the outcomes
(22:13):
of the investment. Well, she Karen Vass has been running
the place for two plus years. Nythia Ramen has been
in place. This is her second term.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
Well, what do you mean you.
Speaker 10 (22:24):
Just discovered that there is no staff in the city
monitoring the outcome of the homeless spending. She just discovered this.
She's got to be in her fifth or sixth year
as a council person. Bass has been running around claiming
(22:46):
homelessness is there.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
You got a gold star. That's the only thing she's accomplished. No,
it's a total failure. Ramen is a total failure. Bass
is obviously a total failure.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
I mean.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
This comes out of the judges. Judge David o'carter. He
hired this agency. See Bass didn't hire this, Nythia Rahman
didn't hire this agency.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
This agency to do.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
The audit was hired by the judge because he could
see that nobody knew where the money went. He could
see that billions were spent and everything got worse. Unbelievable.
(23:41):
This is going and Newsom. Newsom admitted a few months
ago that his twenty four billion dollars that he has
spent since he was governor is mostly unaccounted for.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
Two.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
So the county, of the city and the state money
tens of billions of dollars collectively over the last six seven,
eight years. All the money's gone. And the voters here
in LA voted in November to increase the sales tax
to spend more money on homelessness. So the criminals that
run the nonprofits and the dopes, the stupidoes who run
(24:17):
the government agencies can blow more money. They blow all
the money, and they never even write down how much
they stole. They don't even write down how much they spent.
The auditor goes in, It's like, I don't know, we
don't have any pepperwork here. Same thing with high speed rail,
by the way, same thing with the unemployment payouts during
the lockdown, during the pandemic, all the same. I never
(24:38):
knew this until the last few years. This is how
all this spending increased dramatically while the government budgets have
blown it up so much and everything gets worse. They're
stealing the money and they don't write it down. That's
your answer. You see that going on in Washington with
Musk and Trump people there have been stealing the money
and not writing it down. Are we coming back do?
(25:01):
We'll end with some Newsom clips. There'll be more on
this tomorrow, by the way, and Monday and forever.
Speaker 9 (25:09):
You're listening to John Cobelts on demand from KFI Am
sixty John.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
Coblt Show, kf I Am six forty Live everywhere on
the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Conway's coming up in moments.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
So we started the first hour we played a lot
of Gavin Newsomb clips from his new iHeart podcast.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
This is Gavin Newsom is the title.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
He's talking to Charlie Kirk, who's a right wing podcaster,
activist and Trump supporter. And Newsom's new stick is he
has this podcast and he's going to talk to conservative
influencers and try to find common ground, try to understand why,
(25:50):
you know, Trump's brand of politics has been so successful.
So we've played a lot of clips of earlier of
Newsom denouncing a number of woke pillars. It's trying to
convince people that he's gone unwoke. But here's a couple
of things I just want to play for my own
curiosity here and cut fourteen. Uh, Charlie Kirk starts talking
(26:14):
about Newsome cleaning up San Francisco and the homeless only
when Chinese leaders came to town.
Speaker 4 (26:21):
Quality of life is quality alive? Agree with you on
this one especially, but like I mean, look, no, I
know and canvas out of control unacceptable? Yes, issues of
just quality. It's like, you know where I'm going with this.
Why is it you were able to clean it up
for gig Pango can clean guys.
Speaker 6 (26:35):
That was the due I've ever heard the.
Speaker 5 (26:37):
Way you guys weaponized that. I saw them on twenty
five things. The thing that was that was, you know what,
I will happily, happily revert back to your can I
as weaponized.
Speaker 6 (26:49):
In this case weaponized? Can in this case can I
weapon I guess.
Speaker 4 (26:52):
The let's give me a point, but govern in all
the respect, I saw a beautiful picture of San Francisco
that looked like Singapore by the way, and then Pinglee
leaves and the walking Dead come.
Speaker 5 (27:01):
Down, by the way, it was I pack you had
dozens and dozens of foreign leaders in California is not
San Francisco.
Speaker 6 (27:08):
But I am the governor of California. I want the
mayor of California. Want the mayor the mayor.
Speaker 4 (27:11):
But I just want to say I also say that
we had to clean up. But you have to admit
there's it's emblematic as something that if enough important people
show up, it can get clean.
Speaker 6 (27:19):
So why not make it clean all the time?
Speaker 5 (27:20):
That's exactly, by the way, that's my energy. I think
you've missed a lot of my press conferences. I've been
saying that to all these mayors. But but state vision
is realized at the low, at the level, it's about accountability, transparency.
If you can't clean up the streets, we're going to
redirect the money. He seems to be more moderate and
progress is being Hey, by the way, what's going on
with homelessess and all these red states?
Speaker 6 (27:40):
You're seeing it through the wood the country.
Speaker 4 (27:43):
I'm not here defending every red state, but I'm but
I'm making the point.
Speaker 6 (27:47):
This is hard.
Speaker 4 (27:48):
I'm sure there's a lot of daughters in the qual
that's huge, right.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
Yeah, boy, he is thin skinned and prickly and defensive.
Isn't he when you nail, and then he's got this
word it's weaponized, weaponized. What the hell does that mean?
It's true you did it for the Chinese leader. You
don't do it for the citizens of San Francisco who
pay your salary.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
That's wrong with him. He knows it's wrong. And so
what he does.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
He just starts battling and talking over uh Kirk, It
just tries to steamroll him. Let me play. I got time. No,
Conway's loitering outside, all right, right, this will be continued.
I should just you know, take an hour and a
half off and run the whole Gavin Newsom podcast. Uh,
(28:37):

right's not getting down. The let's getting done. Yeah.

they didn't hire him back. I said, why didn't hire
him back? He said, he got a duy and a domestic,
