Speaker 1 (00:00):
Can't.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
I am six forty. You're listening to the John Cobel
Podcast on the iHeartRadio app. We are on every day
one to four o'clock, and then after four o'clock John
Cobelt Show on Demand appears on the iHeart appits the
podcast version. It's the same as the radio show. Whatever
you missed, it's there. All right. We're going to continue
(00:21):
now discussing Ricardo Lara because the more information comes out,
the richer it gets. We just played you the second
half of the story done by KGO in San Francisco,
Stephani Sierra. They did an extensive investigation and they found
that Ricardo Laura, the insurance Commissioner, has gone on dozens
(00:42):
of trips, many of them paid by taxpayers, to places
like the United Kingdom, Uruguay, Parisda, Bogata, excuse me, Pagoda's
in New Jersey, Bogata, Bermuda, Hawaii, Washington, Singapore, Toronto, Cape Town, Dublin,
Costa Rica, Chile, Egypt, Tokyo, Glasgow, Dubai, all supposedly on
(01:04):
insurance related business. Well that's not true. One of them
was an LGBDQ political leaders conference. Sorry, just because you're
a member of that group. You don't get taxpayer paid
trips and pretend it's an insurance conference. Also a pride
fest in New York where he was meeting with DJ
(01:28):
Kitty Glitter. Sorry, you don't get special protection to waste
our money on that. Let's get Katie grimes on from
California Globe dot com, which is a great news site,
one of the few that covers Sacramento. Katie, how are you.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
Hey, John? Doing well? Thank you?
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Well? We just played we played the whole Channel seven
San Francisco story. Wow, we just played like the second
half of it a few minutes ago where they went
into the long list of trips. How will not admit
to anything? You know, the reporter has the receipts, she's
got the itineraries, the hotel stays, the whole thing, and
(02:08):
they're pretending nothing happened. Is anything going to come of this?
Speaker 4 (02:16):
Boy?
Speaker 3 (02:17):
You asked such a great question because we know in
the past, I report all the time on the jumpets
that these members of the Assembly and Senate take that
are paid for, and I call them junpets because there's
absolutely no reason that you know, Assembly members need to
go to Hawaii to have a meeting with lobbyists, right,
(02:44):
and nothing ever seems to come of those. This is
far more egregious. I mean, I said in my article,
this is not only an abuse of his office, which
is a constitutional office in the state of California, it's
a fraudulent use of taxpayer funds. There's no getting around it.
Other lawmakers kind of get around it because the lobbyists
(03:06):
will pay for it, or their you know, their campaign
committee agreed to pay for it. It's ethically dubious. This is
blatant and frankly, Kgo did an outstanding job on this
investigation and left no stone unturned. I suspect someone got
(03:27):
a pretty hot tip on this because Lara has left
his staff holding the bag for all the meetings that
he's missed while he's been vacationing in grand places.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
He missed many meetings. Oh yeah, I mean they found
forty six trips, yeah, and eleven taxpayer paid trips to
places like Bogata, Paris, and Toronto. Right, and they gave
them a month. Channel seven gave Lara's staff a month
(03:58):
to own up to this, and they would.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Amazing No, and I think what I pointed out also,
his staff can't identify the business purpose for his trips.
It was in their story. I highlighted that because that
is you know, that's there's your smoking gun right there.
If anybody could cover him for him, it would be
(04:22):
his staff. They're either unwilling to or they can't or both.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
I mean, Chownel seven has the receipts, so there's nothing
you could do. He really was at these hotels, he
really spent this money. I can't believe he blew thirty
three thousand dollars a taxpayer money, because you're right, they
go on these junkets all the time, but they get
the lobbyist to pay for it.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
Right exactly. It's bad enough when they do go on
a trip that you know, to a sister city or
in that kind of garbage that they do get taxpayers
to pay for. This is such, it is so e regious.
I'm I'm surprised the lawyers haven't contacted him yet.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Who can investigate this? The attorney general?
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Well that's the problem in California. You know, when you've
got these constitutional officers, all from one party and all
who I say are certainly ethically dubious, all of them.
What's the attorney general going to do. He's not gonna
He's not gonna fry one of his buddies.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
You opened by setting your article at californiaglobe dot com.
There's seven insurance companies that have either pulled out or
are restricting policies here. And I just saw my insurance bill,
car insurance bill, and we pay fire insurance and just
(05:52):
general insurance. Everything is so outrageously high. I just didn't
believe what I was looking at. I'd never seen numbers
like that before.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
Yeah, same with mine. Just unbelievable. My husband calculated and said,
our homeowner's insurance has gone up one hundred and fifty
percent in just a couple of years. Yeah, I mean
it's and the thing that they point out is what
we've been getting hit time and time again with either
(06:23):
these massive spikes in our insurance premiums or getting canceled altogether,
like some of the Pacific Palisades homeowners had. I'm up
in Sacramento County, in Amador County. People in Amador County
are getting their fire insurance canceled. He's off vacationing, and
you know I did point out he did finally show
(06:45):
up for an assembly insurance committee hearing. And I mean
he came prepared. Uh and and he you know, he
did fine, But he was really only talking about handling
claims for the fire victor, you know, in Los Angeles,
not the big picture.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Well, there's Republican lawmakers demanding an investigation, but I don't
see too many Democratic names in these stories here, No,
are they. Well, they're all going to give them cover.
I mean, this is blatant, This is egregious.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
Yeah, exactly, And I mean, look.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
I'm gonna say it. He's to me, he's a criminal.
This he's a grifter, he's a cruc. Well, he's stealing
tax money to go on luxury vacations doing no business
or doing business. That's nonsense.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Well, and what I point out also is that when
when lawmakers take these junkets, the way they've they've gotten
around it is and I reported on another one last week,
they'll give a fifteen minute speech somewhere or.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
So we're told that was the Bermuda trip. Fifteen minutes.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Yeah, and that and we had a lawmaker you know,
do that also with a ccpoa trip. Yeah, fifteen minute
speeches here and there. Well, we don't know if they
really happened or not, And I'm sorry, a fifteen minute
speech is not justification for a trip to Hawaii.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Even if they did it, it's garbage. Even if they spoke,
I don't care if they spoke for an hour or
two hours. You know, there's there's Zoom, their's satellite. You
don't have to you don't have to fly to Bermuda
to spew fifteen minutes of cliches and platitudes.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
Exactly. And if you flip the tables picture this. Imagine
if this was a Republican insurance commissioner, they would have
forced him.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Out office by now. They would have been criminal charges
against him.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
Yeah, exactly, exactly.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
So yeah, I mean, but the public, we don't have
any recourse, do we. We have to sit and wait
for Newsom or the Attorney General Rob Bonta to do
the right thing, the obvious thing, and pressure him out
of office, or you know, threaten a massive investigation that
could end with criminal charges and maybe that'll get him
to leave. This guy should be treated like a criminal.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
I know. Well, look at the last time we actually
were able to get rid of some corrupt politicians in
our state house, I think it was twenty fourteen, when
we had the senator who perjured himself, the senator who
was doing dirty deals bribery with the FBI, and then
the senator who sold rocket launchers to Muslim separatists in
(09:21):
the Philippines.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
That's what you have to do to get kicked out, apparently,
so you gotta sell rocket launchers. Yeah, exactly, I remember
that story. All right, all right, Katie, Well that was
a great one. All right, Katie Grimes, californiaglobe dot com.
Great work, and keep writing about it and we'll keep
talking about it.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
Thank you, Okay, thanks? John.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Oh, this is just this is so nuts. This guy,
this guy, this guy, Ricardo Laira stole thirty three thousand
dollars of our money and lived the high life and
rob Bonta and knew. Some were doing nothing about it.
It's like, well, he's our criminal, we'll protect him, and
they hope it goes away. We're not gonna let this
stuff go away. Oh and we still don't know what
(10:07):
started the palasation.
Speaker 5 (10:09):
I'm gonna ask you if you knew that yet.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
John, No, No, I'm waiting though, I'm waiting. When we
come back. They have arrested one of the biggest Maris
Salvatrusha gang members in the entire country. One of the
top three was arrested, and we will tell you about
it when we come back.
Speaker 6 (10:30):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM six.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Forty moistline coming back tomorrow. Do we have any vacancy
Awes eight seven seven, Moys Stady six eight seven seven
Moist steady six and you could unleash your anger maybe
on Ricardo Lara, this grifter crook that Gavin Newsom and
Rob Banta, the Attorney General are protecting instead of investigating
(10:56):
and charging. Ricardo Lara, the insurance Commissioner, has gone on
forty six trips since he became insurance commissioner, eleven fully
funded taxpayer trips to places like Bogatah and Paris, Chili
fourteen thousand dollars requests to go to Chile. He called
(11:18):
it mission critical. What is mission critical for an insurance
California Insurance commissioner to go to ChIL This is theft.
Lara missed eight of fourteen state hearings. He missed seven
of nine general information hearings before the Senate Insurance Committee,
(11:40):
and the governor had issued a letter to all state
agencies in January warning, because of the budget deficit, to
reduce travel expenses. After Ricardo Lara got the memo, he
took fifteen more.
Speaker 5 (11:56):
Trips Mission critical. Is that what you said?
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Mission critical to go to Chile on California insurance issues.
This is arrogant, obnoxious, in your face criminal behavior. And
Newsome allows this, and rob Bonte allows this. Otherwise they
should publicly announce that that Lara is going to be
investigated for fraud. This is this is theft of tax money,
(12:28):
enforcement of office at the very least. Actually, you ought
to be investigated and go to jail. I yeah, let's
go for it. Let's put one of these guys in prison.
For a Mexican prison is even better. Why not thirty
three thousand dollars? God, we all don't go to work
(12:50):
every day so that Ricardo Lara can live like a
fancy rich guy. I'm sure he's one of these guys
who denounced the wealthy. I'd love to go and look
at all his public comments. I'm sure he's always ripping
on the wealthy. Guys who do that. Like I mentioned before,
(13:11):
they're losers, they're angry, jealous, bitter losers. He doesn't have
any talents to make this kind of money in the
private sector to afford forty six trips and travel around
the world. He doesn't. He can never make that kind
of money, So he's got to become a public official
and steal the tax money. They're losers, and then they
(13:34):
carry out all day about the wealthy. All right, here's
some more criminals, and this is great, boy, they you
know what, all this stuff could have been done under
Joe Biden, But the Biden administration embraced all these violent
gang members Trump administrations arresting them and putting them in prison.
(13:55):
One of the top MS thirteen leaders, Marisalvatricia El Salvador,
and the top leader for the East Coast, one of
the top three in the entire country. And he got arrested.
And the terrorist has not been identified. Oh no, yes
he has when I heard the report a couple of
hours ago. Now they've given him a name, Henry Joshua
(14:20):
Vilettro Santos, twenty four year old illegal alien from El Salvador.
They got him in Virginia, in Dale City, Virginia. And
here is our new FBI head, Cash Bittel, talking about it.
Speaker 4 (14:35):
This is what happens when you let good cops be cops,
and we're going to continue to let good cops be
cops across this country. President Trump gave us the executive
decision to go after and safeguard our communities. General BONDI
is our worry of justice leading that charge. Governor Youngkin,
It's an honor to be a partner in this operation
with you and US Attorney Seabird. This is the mandate
we have right now. We have an American dying every
(14:59):
seven it's from a drug overdose. That is a national
security crisis we have not seen ever before. We have
a woman or child being raped every six and a
half minutes in this country. We have a homicide twice
an hour. No part of that metric is as safe
and secure America. But thanks to the brave leadership of
this administration and the folks that you see here, we
(15:20):
are returning our communities to safety.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
Glenn Youngkin, Virginia Governor. He said, Virginia is not a
sanctuary state. In any town that claims sanctuary status absolutely unacceptable.
We have one of the top three operatives from the
most dangerous gang in America living around the corner, and
your sanctuary cities want to give refuge to them. It's
(15:47):
time to recognize Virginia is not a sanctuary state. We're
looking to get the bad guys out of here. And
if you're with a local jurisdiction and you're not helping
us and not cooperating with us, you're working against the
safety of all the men and women that call your
jurisdiction and home. Counties that don't operate with ICE will
defund them, referencing Fairfax County that's a strong Democratic county.
(16:10):
They consider themselves a sanctuary. Well, that's what ought to happen.
Cities states ought to be defunded. Gavin Newsom is ought
to be laying down the law here in California. Ought
to tell Karen Bass she's going to be defunded if
she doesn't stop this sanctuary city nonsense. How many MS
thirteen guys do you think live here? In fact, I
(16:31):
think the US branch of MS thirteen started in Los
Angeles because of all the feeble morons that have been
running the city for so many years. You said this
guy was twenty four years old, and he's already the
top guy on the East Coast for MS thirteen. Yes,
how old do you think he was when he joined?
Could be thirteen? I know, I know. It's just crazy
(16:52):
that he's so young and already at the top. He
was an up and comer, clearly, and how many people
do you think he had to kill to prove that
he deserved to be on the top. Yeah, that's a
good point of Maricel Latrusha. Yeah. But here in La
thanks to Caard Bass, somebody like this guy, we'd be
given sanctuary. The police wouldn't be allowed to help with
(17:14):
ice to arrest him. Yeah, that's that's a civilized way
to run a city.
Speaker 6 (17:20):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI A
six forty.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Around every day from one until four and then after
four o'clock John Cobelt's show on demand on the iHeart app.
You listen you show, yes and today and yesterday. We
did a lot on Ricardo Lara, this insurance commissioner who's
got on almost four dozen trips, many of them we
got charged. We paid thirty three thousand dollars for a
(17:46):
number of the trips. Others were paid with bribes from
whoever sponsors the junkets in the insurance industry. That's really
what they are anyway, he doesn't show up at most
of the meetings that they hold in Sacramento. On insurance,
the industry is a mess. More than half the insurance
(18:07):
companies have either pulled out or severely restricted policies. Prices
are through the roof. A lot of people don't have coverage,
or they have coverage with the California Fair Plan, which
is very limited in what they pay out. That no
state has a bigger insurance mess, and it's run by
this nut who spends most of his time flying around
(18:28):
all over the world, Africa, South America, every it's Karen Bass.
I can't Two of the big stories we did today
is a detailing Karen Bass's trip. They found La Times
just got texts she was texting to her staff from Africa.
We got Ricardo Lara flying off to forty six different cities.
(18:52):
This is what they do. I don't know why you
don't get it. Why don't people get it. They're all grifters,
they're crooks. They're not in it to serve you, to
do good. They're not going to rebuild your town. They
want to travel around. They're selfish people, narcissists, maybe one day.
Speaking of the fire, remember Paradise, California, twenty eighteen, it
(19:19):
was almost completely destroyed by fire, another one started by
an electrical utility. That was the That was a PG
and E special, you know PG and E, which also
spends a lot of money on Newsom and his wife
man when they destroy a city it's nearly complete. Well,
(19:42):
the Paradise mayor, Steve Crowder, came to the Los Angeles
area to talk to realtors on what's it like trying
to rebuild a city that suffered that much devastation Because
in Paradise lost nineteen thousand homes and buildings. Eighty five
(20:04):
people died. And this was the California Association of Realtor's
form and the subject was reconstruction. Well, since he's lived
through it and is living through it, you know what
he told everybody. And I bring this up because we
have to endure Karen Bass's raw raw about stay strong, LA,
(20:28):
go forward, LA. Well, here's the reality. Steve crowd Or,
the mayor of Paradise, says it's going to take about
twenty years to rebuild his city. Now they're eighty seven
miles north of Sacramento. Six years have passed. Reconstruction is
only about one third done. They lost nineteen thousand homes
(20:53):
in building buildings. They built a little over three thousand
and six hundred multi family units, and on average they
built another three hundred and fifty to five hundred homes
a year, so you could see it is going to
take twenty years. The city is well. The town it
was twenty six thousand people now it's twelve thousand. And
(21:17):
After Crowter gave a speech, or reporter asked him, how
did the people from the Palisades and Outda Dina react
when you told him it's going to take twenty years,
And he said, I think they were a little shocked.
You need to be honest with them and tell them
what the challenges are that they're facing, and let him
make the decisions they need to make. And that's it.
(21:39):
Nobody's honest. It's just LA strong, La forward. Yeah, raw, Raw.
They don't talk about the truth. Here's some of the
problems pre fire up in Paradise. They were building at
about two hundred dollars a square foot. Overnight we went
up to about three hundred and fifty of square foot,
(22:02):
which is really cheap by LA standards. Lack of contractors,
lack of building materials. They're going to find the same thing.
There's only so many people who can build a house.
There's only so many people you want to build a house.
People had insurance coverage. They were insured for two hundred
to square foot. Now the costs have almost doubled, and
(22:28):
a lot of this is just government imposed nonsense. You
see how they fouled up the insurance industry. Well. Finding
insurance coverage is one of the big problems for Paradise.
Building the homes the right way to survive a future fire.
That's expensive, construction costs out of control. Newsom temporarily waived
(22:50):
the state building code that required that rebuilt homes have
solar panels, but that backfired for people who wanted solar
because they're insurance would only pay for the required upgrades,
which means they couldn't get reimbursed for installing panels. How
do you like that? Theres Some tries to give people
(23:10):
a break by saying, hey, you don't have to do
solar panels, which means if you do want solar panels,
insurance won't cover it. Come on, I just knew some
didn't think that one through. I mean, you have to
put in some kind of requirement that the insurance companies
do it. But hey, ask Ricardo Lara, and he's in
(23:32):
South America or South Africa. Another story. And I'm wondering
if you were a part of this group in Woodland Hills,
a homeowners group sued to block a new in and
out from being constructed. What I was not Can you
believe this? This is what the people are like in
(23:53):
Woodland Hills. Blasphemy.
Speaker 5 (23:55):
I don't know if for some we have in in
and out in Woodland Hills.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
They were going to build a second one.
Speaker 5 (24:02):
I know, but we have one.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
And let me tell you I was not part of this,
but the traffic so it's on Ventura Boulevard and so
people are in line, you know, those crazy lngs out
and it spills into uh Onto I should say Venture Boulevard.
Speaker 5 (24:17):
It is crazy.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
It's exactly what this group is saying. That's why they
don't want a second one.
Speaker 5 (24:21):
I can understand that. I'm not saying that it has
to do with.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Group here.
Speaker 5 (24:27):
You bring me.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
Fries about once every other week from in and out,
so it's nothing against in and out.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
Okay, all right, I just want to make sure.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
They they tried to get this stopped because of the
traffic that in and out Spring and they were trying
to say, hey, you got to do these extensive environmental
impact studies.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
Well, I'm telling you, the traffic is ridiculous. You should
come out and see it.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
No, I know there's a lot of bad traffic, but
that's no reason to block an in and out.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
I know, but it's beyond I mean really, it's a
huge line onto Ventor Or Boulevard, and some of these
people are just ding don and they're just.
Speaker 5 (25:06):
They're sticking out.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
I go to the one in Sherman Oak, same thing.
Half the time. I don't even stop at the inne
out because the line's too long. And the secret is though,
and you just have to not be lazy, get out
of the car and you walk in. You can often
walk right up to the counter and you get your
food a lot quicker than the bows are stuck in line.
Speaker 5 (25:24):
That what you do.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
Yeah, that's what I do much of the time. Yeah,
unless the line's really short. Well, this has this has
a good ending because the the West Valley Alliance for
Optimal Living, that's the name of this group. The West valley.
Can you be any more pretentious? Optimal living means.
Speaker 5 (25:46):
From the west side. I can only imagine some of
the names.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
Yeah, can can you imagine what I have to go
through every day enduring no the nonsense I do.
Speaker 5 (25:54):
That's why I don't live out there.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
Yeah, Well, the alliance has come to a settlement. They
notified the judge that an unconditional resolution of the case
had been achieved. No terms were divulged, but apparently they're
going to go forward and allow this militant vegan group,
will allow be in and Out to be constructed.
Speaker 5 (26:17):
I don't think they're all vegan. I really don't, you know.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
I could one day I'll talk about what's going on
in my town, because large swaths of the main boulevard
in my town are sitting empty with rotting buildings because
the local residents are don't want any more traffic. And
so now you have all these iesore small shopping centers,
(26:45):
which even if they could find businesses to rent out to,
you know, because a lot of them have gone out
of business because of COVID rioting Amazon. It's the same
thing in the valley, and there really isn't that many
places to go to on the West Side anymore. Like shops,
(27:05):
restaurants have dwindled, and whatever's not taken out by all
those factors, the residents finish off any chance because they're
always protesting. They're always protesting traffic, always protesting parking. It's like,
and these are shut ins. It's always elderly shut ins,
and they're out protesting. It's like, what do you care.
You never leave the house. What do you care if
(27:27):
there's a traffic jam?
Speaker 1 (27:30):
Thank you, John, Yes, Chill, I can't have a heart attack.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
I'd be in a mental institution if I didn't have
this show.
Speaker 6 (27:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
See, I go home and I smile.
Speaker 6 (27:44):
You're listening to John cobelts on demand from KFI AM sixty.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
Follow us at John Cobelt Radio on social media. We
need less than eight hundred new followers and we'll hit
twenty five thousand. Follow us at John Cobolt Radio on
social media. Conway is minutes away. Instead of shutting down
the high speed rail criminal operation and they do need
another seven billion dollars, instead of doing a senate investigation
(28:16):
or demanding a criminal investigation of Ricardo Lara, this cricket
insurance commissioner, the sixty Democrats in the California Assembly are
leaving Elon Musk's social media platform X, claiming that there's
(28:36):
too much hate speech on X. Hate speech is everywhere,
and so these Democrats are no longer going to write messages.
And I guess they're expecting the public to begin weeping
and to scream and beg them to return and go
back to writing messages to us. Talk more about that tomorrow, Conway.
(29:00):
We got a big day.
Speaker 7 (29:00):
It's Dodger opener today. Yes, it's gonna happen in about
fifteen minutes. They're going to start that game. Alex Stone
will come on with us for MAYBC News, Amy King
live from the stadium.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
And then a friend of mine, a new friend.
Speaker 7 (29:14):
Of mine, Dan Ross from the DA's office in Sam Bernardino.
He's in charge of putting life's most interesting guys away,
you know. Yeah, guys that are convicted are like, you're
going to go after sexual guys that can't handle, you know,
just the normal routine.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
You mean, they skip over the dating process and they
skip over a lot in life. I see. Yeah.
Speaker 7 (29:41):
George Carlin used to call them life's most interesting guys,
and they are. Then we have a timeshare nightmare. There's
a Michigan couple traveled to Mexico for vacation and now
they're in prison over disputed time share payments. Man, if
you needed another reason not to get into time shares,
(30:01):
this has got to be one of them.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
You know, don't dispute things in Mexico.
Speaker 7 (30:05):
Right, Why would you go to when you go to Mexico,
you're their guest.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
You got to behave yeah, you know.
Speaker 7 (30:10):
Yeah, it's like you know, when I go when my
wife is from Oregon and when I go up to
see her family and we stay up in Oregon, I
feel like I'm a visitor because I'm not from Oregon
and I'm on my best behavior in Oregon. Yes, but
people come to this country or go to foreign countries
and they act like idiots still.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
Right, and then they're shocked when they end up in prison.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
Right.
Speaker 7 (30:32):
Or you know, Americans go over to to what you know,
I don't know, Europe and start carving their initials into
like you know, into into like you know, old ten
thousand year old trees, right into old relics, you know,
old statues. It's crazy, you know, I know, but that's
that's how we are. We operate like that we're just
(30:52):
the the worst and we're taking over Greenland.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
I guess, oh, yeah, that's gonna happen. That's like fifty
seven thousand people. Stop.
Speaker 7 (31:00):
Somebody was interviewed from Greenland today and and there's such
passive people.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
They're saying, please don't take us over. Okay, some people
like that get steamrolled. That's right, that's right, Please don't
take us over. We'll turn around.
Speaker 7 (31:21):
I don't think that's changing Trump's mind. And then there's
a bit a great interview Elon Musk. I don't know
if you're I guess you're sort of watching it on
in the background. I couldn't pay Yeah, but if you
watch it tonight, the whole hour, it's all his guys
and what they've found over the last three month.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
I want to hear. Okay, it's a good times Conway.
And then we have Andrew Caravella live. I can't I
twenty for our newsroom.
Can't.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
I am six forty. You're listening to the John Cobel
Podcast on the iHeartRadio app. We are on every day
one to four o'clock, and then after four o'clock John
Cobelt Show on Demand appears on the iHeart appits the
podcast version. It's the same as the radio show. Whatever
you missed, it's there. All right. We're going to continue
(00:21):
now discussing Ricardo Lara because the more information comes out,
the richer it gets. We just played you the second
half of the story done by KGO in San Francisco,
Stephani Sierra. They did an extensive investigation and they found
that Ricardo Laura, the insurance Commissioner, has gone on dozens
(00:42):
of trips, many of them paid by taxpayers, to places
like the United Kingdom, Uruguay, Parisda, Bogata, excuse me, Pagoda's
in New Jersey, Bogata, Bermuda, Hawaii, Washington, Singapore, Toronto, Cape Town, Dublin,
Costa Rica, Chile, Egypt, Tokyo, Glasgow, Dubai, all supposedly on
(01:04):
insurance related business. Well that's not true. One of them
was an LGBDQ political leaders conference. Sorry, just because you're
a member of that group. You don't get taxpayer paid
trips and pretend it's an insurance conference. Also a pride
fest in New York where he was meeting with DJ
(01:28):
Kitty Glitter. Sorry, you don't get special protection to waste
our money on that. Let's get Katie grimes on from
California Globe dot com, which is a great news site,
one of the few that covers Sacramento. Katie, how are you.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
Hey, John? Doing well? Thank you?
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Well? We just played we played the whole Channel seven
San Francisco story. Wow, we just played like the second
half of it a few minutes ago where they went
into the long list of trips. How will not admit
to anything? You know, the reporter has the receipts, she's
got the itineraries, the hotel stays, the whole thing, and
(02:08):
they're pretending nothing happened. Is anything going to come of this?
Speaker 4 (02:16):
Boy?
Speaker 3 (02:17):
You asked such a great question because we know in
the past, I report all the time on the jumpets
that these members of the Assembly and Senate take that
are paid for, and I call them junpets because there's
absolutely no reason that you know, Assembly members need to
go to Hawaii to have a meeting with lobbyists, right,
(02:44):
and nothing ever seems to come of those. This is
far more egregious. I mean, I said in my article,
this is not only an abuse of his office, which
is a constitutional office in the state of California, it's
a fraudulent use of taxpayer funds. There's no getting around it.
Other lawmakers kind of get around it because the lobbyists
(03:06):
will pay for it, or their you know, their campaign
committee agreed to pay for it. It's ethically dubious. This is
blatant and frankly, Kgo did an outstanding job on this
investigation and left no stone unturned. I suspect someone got
(03:27):
a pretty hot tip on this because Lara has left
his staff holding the bag for all the meetings that
he's missed while he's been vacationing in grand places.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
He missed many meetings. Oh yeah, I mean they found
forty six trips, yeah, and eleven taxpayer paid trips to
places like Bogata, Paris, and Toronto. Right, and they gave
them a month. Channel seven gave Lara's staff a month
(03:58):
to own up to this, and they would.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Amazing No, and I think what I pointed out also,
his staff can't identify the business purpose for his trips.
It was in their story. I highlighted that because that
is you know, that's there's your smoking gun right there.
If anybody could cover him for him, it would be
(04:22):
his staff. They're either unwilling to or they can't or both.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
I mean, Chownel seven has the receipts, so there's nothing
you could do. He really was at these hotels, he
really spent this money. I can't believe he blew thirty
three thousand dollars a taxpayer money, because you're right, they
go on these junkets all the time, but they get
the lobbyist to pay for it.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
Right exactly. It's bad enough when they do go on
a trip that you know, to a sister city or
in that kind of garbage that they do get taxpayers
to pay for. This is such, it is so e regious.
I'm I'm surprised the lawyers haven't contacted him yet.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Who can investigate this? The attorney general?
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Well that's the problem in California. You know, when you've
got these constitutional officers, all from one party and all
who I say are certainly ethically dubious, all of them.
What's the attorney general going to do. He's not gonna
He's not gonna fry one of his buddies.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
You opened by setting your article at californiaglobe dot com.
There's seven insurance companies that have either pulled out or
are restricting policies here. And I just saw my insurance bill,
car insurance bill, and we pay fire insurance and just
(05:52):
general insurance. Everything is so outrageously high. I just didn't
believe what I was looking at. I'd never seen numbers
like that before.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
Yeah, same with mine. Just unbelievable. My husband calculated and said,
our homeowner's insurance has gone up one hundred and fifty
percent in just a couple of years. Yeah, I mean
it's and the thing that they point out is what
we've been getting hit time and time again with either
(06:23):
these massive spikes in our insurance premiums or getting canceled altogether,
like some of the Pacific Palisades homeowners had. I'm up
in Sacramento County, in Amador County. People in Amador County
are getting their fire insurance canceled. He's off vacationing, and
you know I did point out he did finally show
(06:45):
up for an assembly insurance committee hearing. And I mean
he came prepared. Uh and and he you know, he
did fine, But he was really only talking about handling
claims for the fire victor, you know, in Los Angeles,
not the big picture.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Well, there's Republican lawmakers demanding an investigation, but I don't
see too many Democratic names in these stories here, No,
are they. Well, they're all going to give them cover.
I mean, this is blatant, This is egregious.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
Yeah, exactly, And I mean, look.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
I'm gonna say it. He's to me, he's a criminal.
This he's a grifter, he's a cruc. Well, he's stealing
tax money to go on luxury vacations doing no business
or doing business. That's nonsense.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Well, and what I point out also is that when
when lawmakers take these junkets, the way they've they've gotten
around it is and I reported on another one last week,
they'll give a fifteen minute speech somewhere or.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
So we're told that was the Bermuda trip. Fifteen minutes.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Yeah, and that and we had a lawmaker you know,
do that also with a ccpoa trip. Yeah, fifteen minute
speeches here and there. Well, we don't know if they
really happened or not, And I'm sorry, a fifteen minute
speech is not justification for a trip to Hawaii.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Even if they did it, it's garbage. Even if they spoke,
I don't care if they spoke for an hour or
two hours. You know, there's there's Zoom, their's satellite. You
don't have to you don't have to fly to Bermuda
to spew fifteen minutes of cliches and platitudes.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
Exactly. And if you flip the tables picture this. Imagine
if this was a Republican insurance commissioner, they would have
forced him.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Out office by now. They would have been criminal charges
against him.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
Yeah, exactly, exactly.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
So yeah, I mean, but the public, we don't have
any recourse, do we. We have to sit and wait
for Newsom or the Attorney General Rob Bonta to do
the right thing, the obvious thing, and pressure him out
of office, or you know, threaten a massive investigation that
could end with criminal charges and maybe that'll get him
to leave. This guy should be treated like a criminal.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
I know. Well, look at the last time we actually
were able to get rid of some corrupt politicians in
our state house, I think it was twenty fourteen, when
we had the senator who perjured himself, the senator who
was doing dirty deals bribery with the FBI, and then
the senator who sold rocket launchers to Muslim separatists in
(09:21):
the Philippines.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
That's what you have to do to get kicked out, apparently,
so you gotta sell rocket launchers. Yeah, exactly, I remember
that story. All right, all right, Katie, Well that was
a great one. All right, Katie Grimes, californiaglobe dot com.
Great work, and keep writing about it and we'll keep
talking about it.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
Thank you, Okay, thanks? John.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Oh, this is just this is so nuts. This guy,
this guy, this guy, Ricardo Laira stole thirty three thousand
dollars of our money and lived the high life and
rob Bonta and knew. Some were doing nothing about it.
It's like, well, he's our criminal, we'll protect him, and
they hope it goes away. We're not gonna let this
stuff go away. Oh and we still don't know what
(10:07):
started the palasation.
Speaker 5 (10:09):
I'm gonna ask you if you knew that yet.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
John, No, No, I'm waiting though, I'm waiting. When we
come back. They have arrested one of the biggest Maris
Salvatrusha gang members in the entire country. One of the
top three was arrested, and we will tell you about
it when we come back.
Speaker 6 (10:30):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM six.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Forty moistline coming back tomorrow. Do we have any vacancy
Awes eight seven seven, Moys Stady six eight seven seven
Moist steady six and you could unleash your anger maybe
on Ricardo Lara, this grifter crook that Gavin Newsom and
Rob Banta, the Attorney General are protecting instead of investigating
(10:56):
and charging. Ricardo Lara, the insurance Commissioner, has gone on
forty six trips since he became insurance commissioner, eleven fully
funded taxpayer trips to places like Bogatah and Paris, Chili
fourteen thousand dollars requests to go to Chile. He called
(11:18):
it mission critical. What is mission critical for an insurance
California Insurance commissioner to go to ChIL This is theft.
Lara missed eight of fourteen state hearings. He missed seven
of nine general information hearings before the Senate Insurance Committee,
(11:40):
and the governor had issued a letter to all state
agencies in January warning, because of the budget deficit, to
reduce travel expenses. After Ricardo Lara got the memo, he
took fifteen more.
Speaker 5 (11:56):
Trips Mission critical. Is that what you said?
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Mission critical to go to Chile on California insurance issues.
This is arrogant, obnoxious, in your face criminal behavior. And
Newsome allows this, and rob Bonte allows this. Otherwise they
should publicly announce that that Lara is going to be
investigated for fraud. This is this is theft of tax money,
(12:28):
enforcement of office at the very least. Actually, you ought
to be investigated and go to jail. I yeah, let's
go for it. Let's put one of these guys in prison.
For a Mexican prison is even better. Why not thirty
three thousand dollars? God, we all don't go to work
(12:50):
every day so that Ricardo Lara can live like a
fancy rich guy. I'm sure he's one of these guys
who denounced the wealthy. I'd love to go and look
at all his public comments. I'm sure he's always ripping
on the wealthy. Guys who do that. Like I mentioned before,
(13:11):
they're losers, they're angry, jealous, bitter losers. He doesn't have
any talents to make this kind of money in the
private sector to afford forty six trips and travel around
the world. He doesn't. He can never make that kind
of money, So he's got to become a public official
and steal the tax money. They're losers, and then they
(13:34):
carry out all day about the wealthy. All right, here's
some more criminals, and this is great, boy, they you
know what, all this stuff could have been done under
Joe Biden, But the Biden administration embraced all these violent
gang members Trump administrations arresting them and putting them in prison.
(13:55):
One of the top MS thirteen leaders, Marisalvatricia El Salvador,
and the top leader for the East Coast, one of
the top three in the entire country. And he got arrested.
And the terrorist has not been identified. Oh no, yes
he has when I heard the report a couple of
hours ago. Now they've given him a name, Henry Joshua
(14:20):
Vilettro Santos, twenty four year old illegal alien from El Salvador.
They got him in Virginia, in Dale City, Virginia. And
here is our new FBI head, Cash Bittel, talking about it.
Speaker 4 (14:35):
This is what happens when you let good cops be cops,
and we're going to continue to let good cops be
cops across this country. President Trump gave us the executive
decision to go after and safeguard our communities. General BONDI
is our worry of justice leading that charge. Governor Youngkin,
It's an honor to be a partner in this operation
with you and US Attorney Seabird. This is the mandate
we have right now. We have an American dying every
(14:59):
seven it's from a drug overdose. That is a national
security crisis we have not seen ever before. We have
a woman or child being raped every six and a
half minutes in this country. We have a homicide twice
an hour. No part of that metric is as safe
and secure America. But thanks to the brave leadership of
this administration and the folks that you see here, we
(15:20):
are returning our communities to safety.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
Glenn Youngkin, Virginia Governor. He said, Virginia is not a
sanctuary state. In any town that claims sanctuary status absolutely unacceptable.
We have one of the top three operatives from the
most dangerous gang in America living around the corner, and
your sanctuary cities want to give refuge to them. It's
(15:47):
time to recognize Virginia is not a sanctuary state. We're
looking to get the bad guys out of here. And
if you're with a local jurisdiction and you're not helping
us and not cooperating with us, you're working against the
safety of all the men and women that call your
jurisdiction and home. Counties that don't operate with ICE will
defund them, referencing Fairfax County that's a strong Democratic county.
(16:10):
They consider themselves a sanctuary. Well, that's what ought to happen.
Cities states ought to be defunded. Gavin Newsom is ought
to be laying down the law here in California. Ought
to tell Karen Bass she's going to be defunded if
she doesn't stop this sanctuary city nonsense. How many MS
thirteen guys do you think live here? In fact, I
(16:31):
think the US branch of MS thirteen started in Los
Angeles because of all the feeble morons that have been
running the city for so many years. You said this
guy was twenty four years old, and he's already the
top guy on the East Coast for MS thirteen. Yes,
how old do you think he was when he joined?
Could be thirteen? I know, I know. It's just crazy
(16:52):
that he's so young and already at the top. He
was an up and comer, clearly, and how many people
do you think he had to kill to prove that
he deserved to be on the top. Yeah, that's a
good point of Maricel Latrusha. Yeah. But here in La
thanks to Caard Bass, somebody like this guy, we'd be
given sanctuary. The police wouldn't be allowed to help with
(17:14):
ice to arrest him. Yeah, that's that's a civilized way
to run a city.
Speaker 6 (17:20):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI A
six forty.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Around every day from one until four and then after
four o'clock John Cobelt's show on demand on the iHeart app.
You listen you show, yes and today and yesterday. We
did a lot on Ricardo Lara, this insurance commissioner who's
got on almost four dozen trips, many of them we
got charged. We paid thirty three thousand dollars for a
(17:46):
number of the trips. Others were paid with bribes from
whoever sponsors the junkets in the insurance industry. That's really
what they are anyway, he doesn't show up at most
of the meetings that they hold in Sacramento. On insurance,
the industry is a mess. More than half the insurance
(18:07):
companies have either pulled out or severely restricted policies. Prices
are through the roof. A lot of people don't have coverage,
or they have coverage with the California Fair Plan, which
is very limited in what they pay out. That no
state has a bigger insurance mess, and it's run by
this nut who spends most of his time flying around
(18:28):
all over the world, Africa, South America, every it's Karen Bass.
I can't Two of the big stories we did today
is a detailing Karen Bass's trip. They found La Times
just got texts she was texting to her staff from Africa.
We got Ricardo Lara flying off to forty six different cities.
(18:52):
This is what they do. I don't know why you
don't get it. Why don't people get it. They're all grifters,
they're crooks. They're not in it to serve you, to
do good. They're not going to rebuild your town. They
want to travel around. They're selfish people, narcissists, maybe one day.
Speaking of the fire, remember Paradise, California, twenty eighteen, it
(19:19):
was almost completely destroyed by fire, another one started by
an electrical utility. That was the That was a PG
and E special, you know PG and E, which also
spends a lot of money on Newsom and his wife
man when they destroy a city it's nearly complete. Well,
(19:42):
the Paradise mayor, Steve Crowder, came to the Los Angeles
area to talk to realtors on what's it like trying
to rebuild a city that suffered that much devastation Because
in Paradise lost nineteen thousand homes and buildings. Eighty five
(20:04):
people died. And this was the California Association of Realtor's
form and the subject was reconstruction. Well, since he's lived
through it and is living through it, you know what
he told everybody. And I bring this up because we
have to endure Karen Bass's raw raw about stay strong, LA,
(20:28):
go forward, LA. Well, here's the reality. Steve crowd Or,
the mayor of Paradise, says it's going to take about
twenty years to rebuild his city. Now they're eighty seven
miles north of Sacramento. Six years have passed. Reconstruction is
only about one third done. They lost nineteen thousand homes
(20:53):
in building buildings. They built a little over three thousand
and six hundred multi family units, and on average they
built another three hundred and fifty to five hundred homes
a year, so you could see it is going to
take twenty years. The city is well. The town it
was twenty six thousand people now it's twelve thousand. And
(21:17):
After Crowter gave a speech, or reporter asked him, how
did the people from the Palisades and Outda Dina react
when you told him it's going to take twenty years,
And he said, I think they were a little shocked.
You need to be honest with them and tell them
what the challenges are that they're facing, and let him
make the decisions they need to make. And that's it.
(21:39):
Nobody's honest. It's just LA strong, La forward. Yeah, raw, Raw.
They don't talk about the truth. Here's some of the
problems pre fire up in Paradise. They were building at
about two hundred dollars a square foot. Overnight we went
up to about three hundred and fifty of square foot,
(22:02):
which is really cheap by LA standards. Lack of contractors,
lack of building materials. They're going to find the same thing.
There's only so many people who can build a house.
There's only so many people you want to build a house.
People had insurance coverage. They were insured for two hundred
to square foot. Now the costs have almost doubled, and
(22:28):
a lot of this is just government imposed nonsense. You
see how they fouled up the insurance industry. Well. Finding
insurance coverage is one of the big problems for Paradise.
Building the homes the right way to survive a future fire.
That's expensive, construction costs out of control. Newsom temporarily waived
(22:50):
the state building code that required that rebuilt homes have
solar panels, but that backfired for people who wanted solar
because they're insurance would only pay for the required upgrades,
which means they couldn't get reimbursed for installing panels. How
do you like that? Theres Some tries to give people
(23:10):
a break by saying, hey, you don't have to do
solar panels, which means if you do want solar panels,
insurance won't cover it. Come on, I just knew some
didn't think that one through. I mean, you have to
put in some kind of requirement that the insurance companies
do it. But hey, ask Ricardo Lara, and he's in
(23:32):
South America or South Africa. Another story. And I'm wondering
if you were a part of this group in Woodland Hills,
a homeowners group sued to block a new in and
out from being constructed. What I was not Can you
believe this? This is what the people are like in
(23:53):
Woodland Hills. Blasphemy.
Speaker 5 (23:55):
I don't know if for some we have in in
and out in Woodland Hills.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
They were going to build a second one.
Speaker 5 (24:02):
I know, but we have one.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
And let me tell you I was not part of this,
but the traffic so it's on Ventura Boulevard and so
people are in line, you know, those crazy lngs out
and it spills into uh Onto I should say Venture Boulevard.
Speaker 5 (24:17):
It is crazy.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
It's exactly what this group is saying. That's why they
don't want a second one.
Speaker 5 (24:21):
I can understand that. I'm not saying that it has
to do with.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Group here.
Speaker 5 (24:27):
You bring me.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
Fries about once every other week from in and out,
so it's nothing against in and out.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
Okay, all right, I just want to make sure.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
They they tried to get this stopped because of the
traffic that in and out Spring and they were trying
to say, hey, you got to do these extensive environmental
impact studies.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
Well, I'm telling you, the traffic is ridiculous. You should
come out and see it.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
No, I know there's a lot of bad traffic, but
that's no reason to block an in and out.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
I know, but it's beyond I mean really, it's a
huge line onto Ventor Or Boulevard, and some of these
people are just ding don and they're just.
Speaker 5 (25:06):
They're sticking out.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
I go to the one in Sherman Oak, same thing.
Half the time. I don't even stop at the inne
out because the line's too long. And the secret is though,
and you just have to not be lazy, get out
of the car and you walk in. You can often
walk right up to the counter and you get your
food a lot quicker than the bows are stuck in line.
Speaker 5 (25:24):
That what you do.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
Yeah, that's what I do much of the time. Yeah,
unless the line's really short. Well, this has this has
a good ending because the the West Valley Alliance for
Optimal Living, that's the name of this group. The West valley.
Can you be any more pretentious? Optimal living means.
Speaker 5 (25:46):
From the west side. I can only imagine some of
the names.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
Yeah, can can you imagine what I have to go
through every day enduring no the nonsense I do.
Speaker 5 (25:54):
That's why I don't live out there.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
Yeah, Well, the alliance has come to a settlement. They
notified the judge that an unconditional resolution of the case
had been achieved. No terms were divulged, but apparently they're
going to go forward and allow this militant vegan group,
will allow be in and Out to be constructed.
Speaker 5 (26:17):
I don't think they're all vegan. I really don't, you know.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
I could one day I'll talk about what's going on
in my town, because large swaths of the main boulevard
in my town are sitting empty with rotting buildings because
the local residents are don't want any more traffic. And
so now you have all these iesore small shopping centers,
(26:45):
which even if they could find businesses to rent out to,
you know, because a lot of them have gone out
of business because of COVID rioting Amazon. It's the same
thing in the valley, and there really isn't that many
places to go to on the West Side anymore. Like shops,
(27:05):
restaurants have dwindled, and whatever's not taken out by all
those factors, the residents finish off any chance because they're
always protesting. They're always protesting traffic, always protesting parking. It's like,
and these are shut ins. It's always elderly shut ins,
and they're out protesting. It's like, what do you care.
You never leave the house. What do you care if
(27:27):
there's a traffic jam?
Speaker 1 (27:30):
Thank you, John, Yes, Chill, I can't have a heart attack.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
I'd be in a mental institution if I didn't have
this show.
Speaker 6 (27:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
See, I go home and I smile.
Speaker 6 (27:44):
You're listening to John cobelts on demand from KFI AM sixty.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
Follow us at John Cobelt Radio on social media. We
need less than eight hundred new followers and we'll hit
twenty five thousand. Follow us at John Cobolt Radio on
social media. Conway is minutes away. Instead of shutting down
the high speed rail criminal operation and they do need
another seven billion dollars, instead of doing a senate investigation
(28:16):
or demanding a criminal investigation of Ricardo Lara, this cricket
insurance commissioner, the sixty Democrats in the California Assembly are
leaving Elon Musk's social media platform X, claiming that there's
(28:36):
too much hate speech on X. Hate speech is everywhere,
and so these Democrats are no longer going to write messages.
And I guess they're expecting the public to begin weeping
and to scream and beg them to return and go
back to writing messages to us. Talk more about that tomorrow, Conway.
(29:00):
We got a big day.
Speaker 7 (29:00):
It's Dodger opener today. Yes, it's gonna happen in about
fifteen minutes. They're going to start that game. Alex Stone
will come on with us for MAYBC News, Amy King
live from the stadium.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
And then a friend of mine, a new friend.
Speaker 7 (29:14):
Of mine, Dan Ross from the DA's office in Sam Bernardino.
He's in charge of putting life's most interesting guys away,
you know. Yeah, guys that are convicted are like, you're
going to go after sexual guys that can't handle, you know,
just the normal routine.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
You mean, they skip over the dating process and they
skip over a lot in life. I see. Yeah.
Speaker 7 (29:41):
George Carlin used to call them life's most interesting guys,
and they are. Then we have a timeshare nightmare. There's
a Michigan couple traveled to Mexico for vacation and now
they're in prison over disputed time share payments. Man, if
you needed another reason not to get into time shares,
(30:01):
this has got to be one of them.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
You know, don't dispute things in Mexico.
Speaker 7 (30:05):
Right, Why would you go to when you go to Mexico,
you're their guest.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
You got to behave yeah, you know.
Speaker 7 (30:10):
Yeah, it's like you know, when I go when my
wife is from Oregon and when I go up to
see her family and we stay up in Oregon, I
feel like I'm a visitor because I'm not from Oregon
and I'm on my best behavior in Oregon. Yes, but
people come to this country or go to foreign countries
and they act like idiots still.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
Right, and then they're shocked when they end up in prison.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
Right.
Speaker 7 (30:32):
Or you know, Americans go over to to what you know,
I don't know, Europe and start carving their initials into
like you know, into into like you know, old ten
thousand year old trees, right into old relics, you know,
old statues. It's crazy, you know, I know, but that's
that's how we are. We operate like that we're just
(30:52):
the the worst and we're taking over Greenland.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
I guess, oh, yeah, that's gonna happen. That's like fifty
seven thousand people. Stop.
Speaker 7 (31:00):
Somebody was interviewed from Greenland today and and there's such
passive people.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
They're saying, please don't take us over. Okay, some people
like that get steamrolled. That's right, that's right, Please don't
take us over. We'll turn around.
Speaker 7 (31:21):
I don't think that's changing Trump's mind. And then there's
a bit a great interview Elon Musk. I don't know
if you're I guess you're sort of watching it on
in the background. I couldn't pay Yeah, but if you
watch it tonight, the whole hour, it's all his guys
and what they've found over the last three month.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
I want to hear. Okay, it's a good times Conway.
And then we have Andrew Caravella live. I can't I
twenty for our newsroom.
