The John Kobylt Show Hour 1 (05/09) - John opens the hour with a blistering breakdown of looming gas hikes in California, citing USC professor Michael Mische’s projection that gas could hit $9 a gallon by 2026 — and torches Governor Newsom for smearing Mische while pushing EV mandates the grid can’t even support. John then dumps on the Democratic Assemblymembers who tried to protect pedophiles by softening laws against buying sex from minors, crediting KCRA’s Ashley Zavala for being the only reporter to tell the truth. Then, John commentates on LA’s new round of police and fire cuts — driven by the endless funneling of money into failed homeless programs. He wraps the hour reacting to a Fox News commentator who fainted live on-air.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Can I am six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
You're listening to the John Cobelt podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
We are on every day from one ton till four o'clock,
and then after four o'clock it's John Cobelt's show on demand.
It's the podcast version of the show. So you get
to listen to what you missed, and you can listen
to this show and any other show tonight tomorrow, Sunday
(00:22):
all weekend long. You can play us continuously coming up
after two o'clock in an hour. We have had Michael
Mchee on twice recently. He's a professor with the USC
Marshall School of Business. He put together the report, which well,
actually it's a couple of reports. One was that over
(00:42):
the last fifty years, the reason Californians always are paying
much much more for gasoline is entirely the fault of
the California state government. It's their taxes, their fees, their regulations.
It has little to do with the oil companies. There
was no evidence of any widespread price gouging or price manipulation,
(01:06):
so that five bucks a gallon that you've been stuck
with forever, while other states are selling gas, other people
are buying gasoline in the twos is entirely the fault
right now, Gavin Newsom and the Democratic state legislature one
hundred percent. So Michael mcchey has really been getting under
Newsome's skin. This week, miche released an analysis that because
(01:32):
there are two more refineries closing in the next year
and a half in California, that's twenty one percent of
California's refining output that's going to be gone. Between that
and the California Resources Board insisting on new regulations, it
(01:55):
looks like gas he says, could be up to eight
dollars and forty three cents a gallon by the end
of twenty twenty six, and some counties, more remote counties
like Mono and Humboldt County in northern California, would be
even higher.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
I guess they'd be approaching nine dollars.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
And we've had Miche on and he's pretty detailed, and
I've looked at his reports. Well, now Newsom and his
office really popped a cork and basically it's trying to
smear Machet, claiming he's bankrolled by Saudi Arabia. I don't
know how that tracks, but Michael mcche is coming on
with us to respond to Newsom's insanity. Newsom signed on
(02:45):
to the Climate Change Church, and the Climate change Church
is going bust. There's few real believers anymore, and Trump
is defunding that whole scam in Washington, DC. A lot
of states are withdrawing from the church as well. I
(03:06):
told you that Virginia and Maryland, for example, have reversed
their electric vehicle requirements. They copied California note for note
says specifically in the legislation basically, whatever California does, we're
gonna do well. Virginia has now changed its mind. Maryland
has changed its mind because it's it's not possible. It's
(03:28):
just simply not realistic, possible, and nobody wants it. Nobody
wants the product right now. There's no electrical grid for it,
no charging system. The whole thing is a bust. Now,
Newsom is stuck with requiring only gas powered cars be
sold by twenty thirty five. In fact, the mandate is
pretty high just for twenty twenty seven, and it's just
(03:52):
it's simply not going to happen. And then they were
hoping to squeeze everyone who didn't buy an electric car
by charging them nine bucks a gallon. Well, turns out
most of us, vast majority of us are gonna have
gas powered cars for a long time, and they know
nobody's gonna be happy with nine bucks a gallon or
eight fifty a gallon, or eight a gallon, wherever it
(04:14):
turns up. So anyway, we're gonna have Michael Miche coming on.
The culture in Sacramento is almost entirely about lying, and
it's true here in La we played yesterday extensively the
audio of Karen Bass at a panel where she claimed
(04:37):
that the reservoir in the Palisades was empty. We had
to empty it because it was a drinking water reservoir
and with the torn cover there was there was a
health problem. And she lied the reservoir and you could
prove it, you could. We read you the clips from
nineteen seventy two in the La Times. It was built
(04:58):
for fire protection, not truedrinking water can't be used for
drinking water, but it hasn't been.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
And so she lied.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
And then in Sacramento, the perverts, pedophiles and predators on
the Assembly. In the Assembly, of course, we're blocking a
bill that would make it a felony to buy sixteen
and seventeen year olds for sex and really unmasked just
how sexually sick. The fifty five Assembly members are all Democrats,
(05:33):
the men and the women, gay and straight, they're sexually twisted,
and they didn't want, you know, middle aged guys who
were buying sixteen year olds for sex to be prosecuted
with a felony. And this I think has caused a
lot of how'd you say, reputational damage. And so the
California Democratic Party, instigated by the Assembly Speaker Robert Reeves,
(05:59):
over the world weekend Sunday Monday, they started running ads
claiming that certain Republican Assembly members had voted against making
sex with a sixteen year old of felony or buying
sex with a sixteen year old felony. They created ads
(06:23):
saying no, no, it was these guys, these Republicans.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
It was a complete lie.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Now that is slander that somebody should file a civil
lawsuit against. And eventually the Democrats had to back down
for all that they had stopped running the ads, and
they voted to make it a felony again. But who
created the ads, Well, Ashley Zavalla from kcra TV up
(06:50):
in Sacramento. Channel three once again seems to be the
only reporter coming in this. Ashley contacted various Democratic leaders
and they all said, well, you go talk to Elizabeth Ashford.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
Who is she?
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Well, she runs the public relations side of Robert Revis's campaign.
Revis again is the Assembly speaker, and she gets paid
by Revis, and she gets paid by the Democratic Party
for campaign consulting. They pay her two hundred and sixty
(07:26):
thousand dollars. Ashford has a company called Upland Workshop, so
she an Upland Workshop, get the money. And when we
come back, I'm going to tell you what the only
reporter covering this, Ashley Zavala, did. The information she tried
(07:50):
to get out of Ashford about sliming, smearing, the Republicans
who are trying to make buying sex or the sixteen
year old of felony, and Elizabeth, Elizabeth Ashford created these
false ads saying the opposite. And you know, she's another one.
(08:15):
All these people have to be held accountable up to
ridicule and scorn and shame because they're part of the
machine that just lies to you, you know, like Kara
lies to you about the reservoir. These people lie to
you about the bill to make sex or the sixteen
year old of felony.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Uh, it's it's a.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Culture of lying and deception and misleading and whatever whatever
euphemism you want to use, whatever synonym you want to use,
but it comes down just bald face lying. So I
tell you about that.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
Next you're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Happy.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
You know, I don't like that word. Why raises everybody?
Their expectations are too high to be happy. Happiness is
an occasional zone you may drift into for a brief
period of time, but it is not a permanent state.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
It should be, but it's it's.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Not possible the way the way human beings are designed,
there's no possible way to have continuous happy or persistent happiness.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
So and it.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Makes people unhappy that they're not happy. So don't try
to be happy, try.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
To be try to be sad. No, no, no, there's
a huge middle ground in between. Content that isn't no.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
Content is not happy in fact, and I've told you this.
When I meet people who are always happy turned out
to be the sarkest, the darkest, sickest psychos.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Because it's it's it's just a fake.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
It's fake, it's a cover, and they're trying to keep
people from realizing that they're a dark sick psycho.
Speaker 5 (09:53):
So I don't think everybody that's happy is a dark
six psycho.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
I don't think five percentage percentage. I just distrusted you.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
I'd rather I'd rather meet somebody who's a pessimistic endower
to me, they're realistic.
Speaker 5 (10:09):
I try not to be around those people too much
because then it makes me feel that way, and I
don't I don't need that. H Didn't you always think
I was happy?
Speaker 6 (10:19):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Yeah, but then I found out that there's another side.
So I was right, you actually bolstered by theory.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Not that make it not that you're dark sick psycho.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
But yeah, thank you for there's two sides of that
to that, Debora Coin.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
Uh what was I talking about? I don't remember.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Oh yes, this this deceptive, lying campaign from the California
Democratic Assembly.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
So again, you know, they blocked the bill that would
make buying sixteen year olds for sex a felony, and uh,
when they got so much blood back, I mean, I
mean the whole state started screaming at them, being a
bunch of perverts, which I assume many of them are.
So then they started running ads on Facebook last Sunday
and Monday Monday against Republicans claiming that they voted against
(11:17):
that particular bill. And the woman who commissioned the ads
has been outed by Casey r a TV. And I
always told you, you know, when it comes to predators
and perverts and pedophiles, there are always women who do
(11:38):
the enabling. We went through the list yesterday, for example,
Dottie Sandusky, wife of Jerry Sandusky, Penn State. And then
we had all the women who worked for Harvey Weinstein.
And then we have McLean Maxwell, who protected and collected
the women for Jeffrey Epstein. You know, it's a complex
psychological question there as to why they do that. So
(12:01):
here we have Elizabeth Ashford and her company upland Workshop.
Now she gets a call from Robert Revis. Robert Revis
is our Assembly leader, Okay, so she decides what bills
are going to be voted on the Assembly. You may
not know him, and Revis's campaign paid Elizabeth Ashford and
(12:23):
her company two hundred and sixty thousand dollars and Ashley
Zavalla from Channel three contacted Elizabeth Ashford by text earlier
this week about the false ads, and Ashford replied, now
this was a text, but you could just hear the snippiness. Well,
what's your question, Ashley Ashford. Ashley Zavalla then asked a
(12:47):
number of questions, and Ashford has not responded to any
of them. The questions were how much the campaign would spend,
how long did they plan to keep the ads up,
and asking for a respetons to assertions by lawmakers on
both sides that the ads are misleading, misleading being one
(13:07):
of those polite political words for lies, because even the
Democrats knew they were lies. The Democrats knew they were cornered,
and they were angry about being cornered, and eventually they
had to change their votes. So the whole thing was
a terrible embarrassment. And after Ashley's Valla sent all those questions,
(13:28):
got nothing, nothing in return. Channel three also asked for
a statement from Robert Reeves, got nothing on that. One
Democratic strategist named Mike Trahell has said, sounds like you
found a flock of storks putting their heads in the sand.
Even he, as a Democratic strategist, says the public deserves
an explanation. Any ad you put out there, whether it
(13:51):
be on Facebook, social media, TV radio, there should be
some accountability. You should be able to say, yeah, I
put that out, I'm proud of it, and here's why
I did it. To get that sort of silence is
unheard of. Well, it's because it was a complete lie.
It really is a kind of the kind of slander
and smear that people could sue over, and it exposes
them for what they are. They are a bunch of stinking, manipulating,
(14:16):
pervert liars. But you elect them into the Assembly and
now we got to live with the fallout here. This
was one of those rare times where they got cornered.
See they have been overridden several times this year. Remember
they were trying to destroy Prop. Thirty six being on
the ballot last year. Remember they went through all kinds
of shenanigans there. These are bad people, bad character, bad personalities,
(14:41):
weird sexual issues. That's what you have in the Democratic
Assembly and in the State Senate. And so they got
so because they're not used to being criticized. That's the
thing I've noticed. And you could see this in Kamala Harris.
You can see this in Gavin Newsom. You see this
in the Assembly members. They have been in a one
party state for so long with either a Democrat soaked
(15:05):
news media or no news media at all. I mean
hardly anybody covers Sacramento. They're not used to criticism, they're
not used to pushback. One reason like Trump is so
effective at coming back, striking back is he has been
beat on. His whole life, has always been criticized. He's
(15:28):
always being scrutinized, called all kinds of names, accused of
all kinds of crimes. So he's got a hard shell.
He's tough. Nothing intimidates him. Newssom like a little eight
year old boy. He runs and hides and cries. And
same thing with these Democratic assembly people. Instead of stopping
for a second and saying, you know what, we are
(15:48):
voting to basically allow middle aged men to buy sixteen
year old girls for sex. Maybe we shouldn't do that.
Not only it looks bad, it is bad, it's easy.
It's enabling a sex slave trade. But they didn't see
it that way, and they got caught, and when they
(16:09):
finally came to, when they were finally shamed and embarrassed
enough to change their votes. They also had to put
out an ad saying, well, no is the Republicans who
did it, which is what you know you might have
done as a little kid when you got caught doing
something and you'd blame it on your brother or your sister.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
Right, Oh, I didn't do it.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
He did it because their children not only are their
sexually perverse, their emotional development is stunted and their intellectual
development never went very far either. So you have people
who are lo iq emotionally adolescent at best, sexually perverse,
(16:51):
and they're running the Assembly. And that all that was
laid bare in the last week because you must be
stupid to try to sell the idea that it's okay
to buy sixteen year olds for sex. You must be
an idiot or you must be a pervert. And they
became emotionally unhinged when they caught, when they got caught,
(17:12):
like a toddler having a tantrum. All right, we got Oh.
Now the psycho paths that are in Los Angeles, they
have a new idea. Guess what, because we spend so
much money on the vagrants and the mental patients and
the drug addicts, We're gonna have to do with fewer
(17:34):
police officers in Los Angeles.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
That sounds like a good idea.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
You're listening to John Cobel's on Demand from KFI A six.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
We're on every day one until four o'clock and then
after four o'clock John cobelt Show on Demand on the
iHeart app. Coming up after two o'clock. Michael Msche, the
USC professor. He's the one who's come out with some
fascinating studies on why you pay five dollars for gas
and why you may be paying eight fifty for gas.
(18:07):
And he's really gotten under the thin skin of Gavin
Newsom because Newsom's office did a big smear slander job
today and we'll tell you all about it. Michael Miche
coming up after two o'clock. Well, the the incredibly badly
(18:27):
managed city of Los Angeles with the chief dope Karen Bass.
So there, they are a billion dollars short in their
budget because they spend a billion four every year on
vagrants and mental patients and drug addicts. You know, you
(18:48):
could you could solve the budget crisis in an instant
by saying, you know what, we're done with this experiment.
It's not illegal to sleep on the street. And we're
going to arrest you and you'll have a choice either
going to jail or going to get treatment for whatever
your problem is. That's what they should do. However, instead
(19:11):
they allow the vagrants to luxuriate in their own waste,
their own feces in urine. They allow them to keep
stabbing themselves with needles, keep snorting meth, whatever else they do. Oh,
by the way, there's a new study out on the
percentage of those vagrants who were criminals who actually spend
(19:32):
time in prison. Can't do that now, but you just
stay tuned because probably next week I'm going to get
into that. I'm still reading it. And and even so,
because the city La wastes so much money on the vagrants,
they don't have money for obviously, we've talked about this
many times, the fire department, right, so, the fire department
(19:52):
is only half funded. Now the police department is going
to get cut. We had ten thousand officers in twenty twenty,
and projections are is once we get the Olympics in
town and the World Cup in Town over the next
few years, we really need twelve thousand. We have far
(20:13):
fewer cops for our population than say New York city,
and we have so much more land mass. We're supposed
to have ten thousand. We've only got eighty four hundred. No,
we have eighty seven hundred. It's going to drop to
eighty four hundred by next year because there's no more money.
(20:36):
So they're going to cut the number of recruits. That
were planning on having about five hundred recruits, they're going
to have half that. And because the department is going
to lose over five hundred officers through retirements and resignations,
the number of sworn officers working is going to go down,
(21:01):
and they're estimating eventually it'll be down another three hundred
from today. Now we need to we need like an
extra two thousand. We're gonna lose three hundred. And this
is because of the vagrants. I can't stress this enough.
Without all the money being wasted on vagrant care, we
would have a much better staffed fire department and police department. Now,
(21:24):
this is what's frustrating, is because so many of the
fire calls, more than half of the actual fires are
started by the vagrants, and many of the police calls
are to handle vagrant nonsense. So everything is reversed, everything's
inverted Instead of beefing up the police and fire because
(21:45):
we have so many mental patients running in the streets.
We are cutting police and fire because we have to
throw so much money into this criminal operation, these homeless
nonprofit agencies. We are funding all the white collar criminals
(22:11):
who are who have saturated government, saturated the homeless nonprofit industry.
They're white collar criminals. They're stealing money, our tax money.
And now we're being told it's like, yeah, we're gonna
be down another three hundred police officers in LA next year.
So are you crazy? The answer is yes, they are crazy.
(22:34):
There's a committee here, the budget Committee. There are five
idiots on the committee, and they're also trying to kill
Karen Bass's proposal to add sixty seven people to the
fire department to address issues dealing with homelessness. They wanted
(22:54):
fifty new firefighters again to help out help put out
the thousands of fires guarded by the vagrants every year.
And they also want new street medicine teams. Street medicine
teams was that bringing a new shipment of drugs to
the drug addicts. You don't need street medicine teams. What
(23:21):
you need are officers going around and putting people under
arrest and giving them a choice jail or you go
to treatment, simple easy, and spend the money on the
treatment clinics. By the way I'm driving around, I am
seeing hundreds and hundreds of empty storefronts. It wouldn't take
(23:46):
much to buy a lot of cheap storefronts, rent them
out and turn them into treatment clinics for drugs. There's
a lot empty buildings that I think you could probably
recast as a as mental facilities. The buildings exist, the
space exists. Karen Bass, along with others, have helped put
(24:10):
a lot of people out of business. You might as well,
I don't know, declare eminent domain and just take all
these buildings in storefronts over and use them for for
drug treatment and mental patient treatment. You know, budget, the
budget once would lay off sixteen hundred civilian workers, including
(24:33):
four hundred LAPD They're the the the way they're trying
to spin this is is that, yeah, we got we
gotta stop hiring cops, but we're going to save one
hundred and thirty three civilian employees who process DNA rape
kits and analyze fingerprints and take photos of crime scenes.
(24:54):
And we obviously need those people. But that's a false choice,
as they say, it's not a choice between civilians analyzing
rape kits and fingerprints, a choice between that and having
active cops. You have active cops and you have the
people analyzing the rape kits and the fingerprints. What you
do is start cutting off the money to the vagrants.
(25:17):
The vagrant situation here is like this infected abscess. We
are bleeding, we are we are loosing. Plus we are
rotting from the inside because of the obsession with the homeless.
It's rotted out the fire department, and you saw what
happened there. It is right, it's rotting at the police department.
(25:40):
You know that that defund the police crowd. You guys
got what you wanted. You should be very happy. And
the police and fire are both overwhelmed by vagrants, and
they're the ones who lose positions. They're the ones who
have to deal with funding cuts. How come the vagrant's
(26:00):
never deal with funding cuts. Well, let's go back to
the beginning. Because all the friends and relatives of the
people in power are running these vagrant nonprofits, so.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
It's a it's a.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
Network of thieves, and you know it doesn't matter to
them to the thieves. It's like they're making money. It's like,
you know, Vlicia Adams Kellum, her husband, that nonprofit gets
two million dollars.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
That's what the game is about.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
And so that's two million dollars that doesn't go for
a fire department, that doesn't go to a police department
or a sheriff's department. All right, when we come back.
I don't know if you heard or saw this. This
was funny. There's a young woman was on Fox News.
She was a commentator and she's in the middle of commentating,
(26:54):
Oh did you see this?
Speaker 5 (26:55):
Yes, this is a fear, another fear of mine.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
Well, we'll play an audio of what happened when we
come back.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
And I laughed. I don't know.
Speaker 5 (27:08):
I was wondering if something like that happened to me
on your show, what you would do?
Speaker 1 (27:14):
Would you laugh?
Speaker 5 (27:15):
Or would you would you sit there? Would you run
over here?
Speaker 1 (27:21):
You really had to think about that. I did well.
This anchor did not cover himself with glory.
Speaker 3 (27:27):
I know.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
All right, let me think about.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
That what I did? Okay, okay, you're listening to John
Cobbels on demand from KFI Am sixty.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
On Fox News.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
They have a show called Fox News at Night and
the host was a filling named Jonathan Hunt, British guy,
and he's talking to a commentator, young pretty blonde woman
named Cameron Kinsey and she's talking I don't know about what,
and suddenly this happens.
Speaker 7 (28:01):
They put her as the borders are. She never went
to the border. So this is about incompetency. It's not
about ideology or it's it's not about uh.
Speaker 6 (28:15):
Oh my goodness. We're just gonna get some help here
for Cameron. Let me go back to Lydia while we
get some help for Cameron here, so uh Lydia the president.
But we're gonna actually we're gonna go to a break
right here.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
We'll be right back.
Speaker 5 (28:35):
I mean, look, it's something you don't expect. We all
don't know how we would really react in a situation
like that. I mean, I would hope John that you'd
come running over here instead of even wasting your time
on the air. Eric would be cackling, God knows, Ray
would be chaos is good for business.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
He'd be taking video.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
You would be live, you'd be live streamed on on Instagram.
Speaker 5 (28:59):
But I would hope you would come over and.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
I would come over you thought about it, but yeah,
because I know you and I like you. This guy
doesn't know the guest right, probably never met her before,
so he didn't have any emotional investment in her. And
so she just falls over dead on the floor, and
he directs the next question to Lydia, who is the
other panelist.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
Let's keep this moving here. Is that the sound it made?
Speaker 8 (29:28):
No, that's what that's enhanced. Yeah, this is the real one.
Speaker 6 (29:35):
Oh my goodness, we're just gonna get some help.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
We're gonna get some help. In the meantime, Lydia, what
do you think?
Speaker 8 (29:45):
I like what we said. We like he was gonna help.
She just went on with the segment. He didn't move
an inch.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
He just looked over like, oh, that's unfortunate, and kept
scrolling on the telephone. That's right, gotta keep the show
moving here. So No, I would run in there.
Speaker 5 (29:58):
I would hope, so, because if if you passed out,
I would I I, well.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
It looks like the loyalty doesn't go both ways.
Speaker 5 (30:09):
No, you know me better than that. Of course I would.
It's ray you really have.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
To worry about.
Speaker 5 (30:15):
I would come running, okay, all right, I wouldn't even
worry about my newscast or anything.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
That's the thing he was.
Speaker 5 (30:22):
So, but again we're doing this, uh huh, we're we're
speculating how we would react. I mean, if it really
happened in the moment.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
Well, you know, you got two choices. You either sit
or you get up and you run and help. Now
you know that woman was right next to him.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
I know, all right it is unfortunately you're.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
You're down the hall and got to open two doors
to get to you.
Speaker 6 (30:47):
So what happened?
Speaker 1 (30:51):
But that is scary.
Speaker 5 (30:53):
I do think about, Wow, what would happen if I
kind of have you know.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
I broke on the air.
Speaker 5 (30:59):
I mean it's bad enough when I start coughing.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
Well, somebody posted actually a guest we once had on
the show, and he posted this thing, uh doctor human Amadi,
and this was his speculation. There's something called vaso vaguel syncope.
It can be caused by stage fright or prolonged sitting,
(31:26):
or being under an intense bright light, and all those
things can be true in a tv S.
Speaker 5 (31:30):
Theory, and but not being dehydrated.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
Yes, dehydration too. Yeah, those are four reasons and all
of them could have happened. I remember this happened to
the to the Witch George Bush, I think the second
George Bush, but.
Speaker 5 (31:44):
Also a local reporter here. Do you remember Serene Branson?
Speaker 2 (31:49):
Yes, yes, she had some kind of very temporary brain
mail fund.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
Yeah, it wasn't a stroke.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
No, it wasn't a stroke. But she was doing a
report and like all the words suddenly came out backwards
and scrammed.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
I never forgot we had her on after that happened,
and so I, uh wait, when she started slowing down
and stumbling a bit in her speech, you could tell
like her eyes were fluttering a bit, like she was
starting to bade to black.
Speaker 7 (32:18):
It's it's not about uh.
Speaker 6 (32:23):
Oh, my goodness, we're just kind of get some help.
Speaker 7 (32:26):
Hit.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
It was a slow motion fall.
Speaker 5 (32:29):
We're not laughing at that?
Speaker 1 (32:30):
Why A, Well, I'm not. I'm laughing at your laughing.
You're laughing at me last, Yes, honestly.
Speaker 5 (32:38):
No, I'm not laughing at that because I told you
I fear that.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
I didn't know that. I didn't know you you fear
that happening on the air here.
Speaker 5 (32:47):
Yeah, it's as I said, there's time right now, I'm
fighting something allergy, cold, whatever, right, and I've been coughing
a lot off the air. I mean there's sometimes I
can't finish, you know, I'll cut out something, you know,
the temperatures or something, just so I can go to
traffic because I'm stifling a cough or whatever.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
You know, you've been in such distress, right Your show
stresses me out?
Speaker 2 (33:12):
Yeah, I stress everybody out. Apparently that's my role in life. Well,
can you do the news now?
Speaker 5 (33:21):
Yeah, but that would be freaky if I if something
happens to me, all right now, universe, don't let it happen.
Speaker 2 (33:25):
If you fall now then yeah, I will laugh because
the timing will be a debormark live in the caf.
I wait, let me promote what's coming up after dever,
because this is a big deal. Michael Mache's coming on
again from USC Marshall School of Business. He had the
reports on why we've been paying too much gas, too
much for gas in California for the last fifty years,
(33:47):
and he had the report that we could be paying
eight to fifty a gallon by the end of twenty
twenty six because there's two refineries closing well. Gavin Newsom's
office has decided to fight Michael Mache and a slander
and smear him. 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
(34:07):
every Monday through Friday, and of course, anytime on demand
on the iHeartRadio app.
Can I am six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
You're listening to the John Cobelt podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
We are on every day from one ton till four o'clock,
and then after four o'clock it's John Cobelt's show on demand.
It's the podcast version of the show. So you get
to listen to what you missed, and you can listen
to this show and any other show tonight tomorrow, Sunday
(00:22):
all weekend long. You can play us continuously coming up
after two o'clock in an hour. We have had Michael
Mchee on twice recently. He's a professor with the USC
Marshall School of Business. He put together the report, which well,
actually it's a couple of reports. One was that over
(00:42):
the last fifty years, the reason Californians always are paying
much much more for gasoline is entirely the fault of
the California state government. It's their taxes, their fees, their regulations.
It has little to do with the oil companies. There
was no evidence of any widespread price gouging or price manipulation,
(01:06):
so that five bucks a gallon that you've been stuck
with forever, while other states are selling gas, other people
are buying gasoline in the twos is entirely the fault
right now, Gavin Newsom and the Democratic state legislature one
hundred percent. So Michael mcchey has really been getting under
Newsome's skin. This week, miche released an analysis that because
(01:32):
there are two more refineries closing in the next year
and a half in California, that's twenty one percent of
California's refining output that's going to be gone. Between that
and the California Resources Board insisting on new regulations, it
(01:55):
looks like gas he says, could be up to eight
dollars and forty three cents a gallon by the end
of twenty twenty six, and some counties, more remote counties
like Mono and Humboldt County in northern California, would be
even higher.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
I guess they'd be approaching nine dollars.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
And we've had Miche on and he's pretty detailed, and
I've looked at his reports. Well, now Newsom and his
office really popped a cork and basically it's trying to
smear Machet, claiming he's bankrolled by Saudi Arabia. I don't
know how that tracks, but Michael mcche is coming on
with us to respond to Newsom's insanity. Newsom signed on
(02:45):
to the Climate Change Church, and the Climate change Church
is going bust. There's few real believers anymore, and Trump
is defunding that whole scam in Washington, DC. A lot
of states are withdrawing from the church as well. I
(03:06):
told you that Virginia and Maryland, for example, have reversed
their electric vehicle requirements. They copied California note for note
says specifically in the legislation basically, whatever California does, we're
gonna do well. Virginia has now changed its mind. Maryland
has changed its mind because it's it's not possible. It's
(03:28):
just simply not realistic, possible, and nobody wants it. Nobody
wants the product right now. There's no electrical grid for it,
no charging system. The whole thing is a bust. Now,
Newsom is stuck with requiring only gas powered cars be
sold by twenty thirty five. In fact, the mandate is
pretty high just for twenty twenty seven, and it's just
(03:52):
it's simply not going to happen. And then they were
hoping to squeeze everyone who didn't buy an electric car
by charging them nine bucks a gallon. Well, turns out
most of us, vast majority of us are gonna have
gas powered cars for a long time, and they know
nobody's gonna be happy with nine bucks a gallon or
eight fifty a gallon, or eight a gallon, wherever it
(04:14):
turns up. So anyway, we're gonna have Michael Miche coming on.
The culture in Sacramento is almost entirely about lying, and
it's true here in La we played yesterday extensively the
audio of Karen Bass at a panel where she claimed
(04:37):
that the reservoir in the Palisades was empty. We had
to empty it because it was a drinking water reservoir
and with the torn cover there was there was a
health problem. And she lied the reservoir and you could
prove it, you could. We read you the clips from
nineteen seventy two in the La Times. It was built
(04:58):
for fire protection, not truedrinking water can't be used for
drinking water, but it hasn't been.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
And so she lied.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
And then in Sacramento, the perverts, pedophiles and predators on
the Assembly. In the Assembly, of course, we're blocking a
bill that would make it a felony to buy sixteen
and seventeen year olds for sex and really unmasked just
how sexually sick. The fifty five Assembly members are all Democrats,
(05:33):
the men and the women, gay and straight, they're sexually twisted,
and they didn't want, you know, middle aged guys who
were buying sixteen year olds for sex to be prosecuted
with a felony. And this I think has caused a
lot of how'd you say, reputational damage. And so the
California Democratic Party, instigated by the Assembly Speaker Robert Reeves,
(05:59):
over the world weekend Sunday Monday, they started running ads
claiming that certain Republican Assembly members had voted against making
sex with a sixteen year old of felony or buying
sex with a sixteen year old felony. They created ads
(06:23):
saying no, no, it was these guys, these Republicans.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
It was a complete lie.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Now that is slander that somebody should file a civil
lawsuit against. And eventually the Democrats had to back down
for all that they had stopped running the ads, and
they voted to make it a felony again. But who
created the ads, Well, Ashley Zavalla from kcra TV up
(06:50):
in Sacramento. Channel three once again seems to be the
only reporter coming in this. Ashley contacted various Democratic leaders
and they all said, well, you go talk to Elizabeth Ashford.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
Who is she?
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Well, she runs the public relations side of Robert Revis's campaign.
Revis again is the Assembly speaker, and she gets paid
by Revis, and she gets paid by the Democratic Party
for campaign consulting. They pay her two hundred and sixty
(07:26):
thousand dollars. Ashford has a company called Upland Workshop, so
she an Upland Workshop, get the money. And when we
come back, I'm going to tell you what the only
reporter covering this, Ashley Zavala, did. The information she tried
(07:50):
to get out of Ashford about sliming, smearing, the Republicans
who are trying to make buying sex or the sixteen
year old of felony, and Elizabeth, Elizabeth Ashford created these
false ads saying the opposite. And you know, she's another one.
(08:15):
All these people have to be held accountable up to
ridicule and scorn and shame because they're part of the
machine that just lies to you, you know, like Kara
lies to you about the reservoir. These people lie to
you about the bill to make sex or the sixteen
year old of felony.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Uh, it's it's a.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Culture of lying and deception and misleading and whatever whatever
euphemism you want to use, whatever synonym you want to use,
but it comes down just bald face lying. So I
tell you about that.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
Next you're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Happy.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
You know, I don't like that word. Why raises everybody?
Their expectations are too high to be happy. Happiness is
an occasional zone you may drift into for a brief
period of time, but it is not a permanent state.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
It should be, but it's it's.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Not possible the way the way human beings are designed,
there's no possible way to have continuous happy or persistent happiness.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
So and it.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Makes people unhappy that they're not happy. So don't try
to be happy, try.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
To be try to be sad. No, no, no, there's
a huge middle ground in between. Content that isn't no.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
Content is not happy in fact, and I've told you this.
When I meet people who are always happy turned out
to be the sarkest, the darkest, sickest psychos.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Because it's it's it's just a fake.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
It's fake, it's a cover, and they're trying to keep
people from realizing that they're a dark sick psycho.
Speaker 5 (09:53):
So I don't think everybody that's happy is a dark
six psycho.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
I don't think five percentage percentage. I just distrusted you.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
I'd rather I'd rather meet somebody who's a pessimistic endower
to me, they're realistic.
Speaker 5 (10:09):
I try not to be around those people too much
because then it makes me feel that way, and I
don't I don't need that. H Didn't you always think
I was happy?
Speaker 6 (10:19):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Yeah, but then I found out that there's another side.
So I was right, you actually bolstered by theory.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Not that make it not that you're dark sick psycho.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
But yeah, thank you for there's two sides of that
to that, Debora Coin.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
Uh what was I talking about? I don't remember.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Oh yes, this this deceptive, lying campaign from the California
Democratic Assembly.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
So again, you know, they blocked the bill that would
make buying sixteen year olds for sex a felony, and uh,
when they got so much blood back, I mean, I
mean the whole state started screaming at them, being a
bunch of perverts, which I assume many of them are.
So then they started running ads on Facebook last Sunday
and Monday Monday against Republicans claiming that they voted against
(11:17):
that particular bill. And the woman who commissioned the ads
has been outed by Casey r a TV. And I
always told you, you know, when it comes to predators
and perverts and pedophiles, there are always women who do
(11:38):
the enabling. We went through the list yesterday, for example,
Dottie Sandusky, wife of Jerry Sandusky, Penn State. And then
we had all the women who worked for Harvey Weinstein.
And then we have McLean Maxwell, who protected and collected
the women for Jeffrey Epstein. You know, it's a complex
psychological question there as to why they do that. So
(12:01):
here we have Elizabeth Ashford and her company upland Workshop.
Now she gets a call from Robert Revis. Robert Revis
is our Assembly leader, Okay, so she decides what bills
are going to be voted on the Assembly. You may
not know him, and Revis's campaign paid Elizabeth Ashford and
(12:23):
her company two hundred and sixty thousand dollars and Ashley
Zavalla from Channel three contacted Elizabeth Ashford by text earlier
this week about the false ads, and Ashford replied, now
this was a text, but you could just hear the snippiness. Well,
what's your question, Ashley Ashford. Ashley Zavalla then asked a
(12:47):
number of questions, and Ashford has not responded to any
of them. The questions were how much the campaign would spend,
how long did they plan to keep the ads up,
and asking for a respetons to assertions by lawmakers on
both sides that the ads are misleading, misleading being one
(13:07):
of those polite political words for lies, because even the
Democrats knew they were lies. The Democrats knew they were cornered,
and they were angry about being cornered, and eventually they
had to change their votes. So the whole thing was
a terrible embarrassment. And after Ashley's Valla sent all those questions,
(13:28):
got nothing, nothing in return. Channel three also asked for
a statement from Robert Reeves, got nothing on that. One
Democratic strategist named Mike Trahell has said, sounds like you
found a flock of storks putting their heads in the sand.
Even he, as a Democratic strategist, says the public deserves
an explanation. Any ad you put out there, whether it
(13:51):
be on Facebook, social media, TV radio, there should be
some accountability. You should be able to say, yeah, I
put that out, I'm proud of it, and here's why
I did it. To get that sort of silence is
unheard of. Well, it's because it was a complete lie.
It really is a kind of the kind of slander
and smear that people could sue over, and it exposes
them for what they are. They are a bunch of stinking, manipulating,
(14:16):
pervert liars. But you elect them into the Assembly and
now we got to live with the fallout here. This
was one of those rare times where they got cornered.
See they have been overridden several times this year. Remember
they were trying to destroy Prop. Thirty six being on
the ballot last year. Remember they went through all kinds
of shenanigans there. These are bad people, bad character, bad personalities,
(14:41):
weird sexual issues. That's what you have in the Democratic
Assembly and in the State Senate. And so they got
so because they're not used to being criticized. That's the
thing I've noticed. And you could see this in Kamala Harris.
You can see this in Gavin Newsom. You see this
in the Assembly members. They have been in a one
party state for so long with either a Democrat soaked
(15:05):
news media or no news media at all. I mean
hardly anybody covers Sacramento. They're not used to criticism, they're
not used to pushback. One reason like Trump is so
effective at coming back, striking back is he has been
beat on. His whole life, has always been criticized. He's
(15:28):
always being scrutinized, called all kinds of names, accused of
all kinds of crimes. So he's got a hard shell.
He's tough. Nothing intimidates him. Newssom like a little eight
year old boy. He runs and hides and cries. And
same thing with these Democratic assembly people. Instead of stopping
for a second and saying, you know what, we are
(15:48):
voting to basically allow middle aged men to buy sixteen
year old girls for sex. Maybe we shouldn't do that.
Not only it looks bad, it is bad, it's easy.
It's enabling a sex slave trade. But they didn't see
it that way, and they got caught, and when they
(16:09):
finally came to, when they were finally shamed and embarrassed
enough to change their votes. They also had to put
out an ad saying, well, no is the Republicans who
did it, which is what you know you might have
done as a little kid when you got caught doing
something and you'd blame it on your brother or your sister.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
Right, Oh, I didn't do it.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
He did it because their children not only are their
sexually perverse, their emotional development is stunted and their intellectual
development never went very far either. So you have people
who are lo iq emotionally adolescent at best, sexually perverse,
(16:51):
and they're running the Assembly. And that all that was
laid bare in the last week because you must be
stupid to try to sell the idea that it's okay
to buy sixteen year olds for sex. You must be
an idiot or you must be a pervert. And they
became emotionally unhinged when they caught, when they got caught,
(17:12):
like a toddler having a tantrum. All right, we got Oh.
Now the psycho paths that are in Los Angeles, they
have a new idea. Guess what, because we spend so
much money on the vagrants and the mental patients and
the drug addicts, We're gonna have to do with fewer
(17:34):
police officers in Los Angeles.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
That sounds like a good idea.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
You're listening to John Cobel's on Demand from KFI A six.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
We're on every day one until four o'clock and then
after four o'clock John cobelt Show on Demand on the
iHeart app. Coming up after two o'clock. Michael Msche, the
USC professor. He's the one who's come out with some
fascinating studies on why you pay five dollars for gas
and why you may be paying eight fifty for gas.
(18:07):
And he's really gotten under the thin skin of Gavin
Newsom because Newsom's office did a big smear slander job
today and we'll tell you all about it. Michael Miche
coming up after two o'clock. Well, the the incredibly badly
(18:27):
managed city of Los Angeles with the chief dope Karen Bass.
So there, they are a billion dollars short in their
budget because they spend a billion four every year on
vagrants and mental patients and drug addicts. You know, you
(18:48):
could you could solve the budget crisis in an instant
by saying, you know what, we're done with this experiment.
It's not illegal to sleep on the street. And we're
going to arrest you and you'll have a choice either
going to jail or going to get treatment for whatever
your problem is. That's what they should do. However, instead
(19:11):
they allow the vagrants to luxuriate in their own waste,
their own feces in urine. They allow them to keep
stabbing themselves with needles, keep snorting meth, whatever else they do. Oh,
by the way, there's a new study out on the
percentage of those vagrants who were criminals who actually spend
(19:32):
time in prison. Can't do that now, but you just
stay tuned because probably next week I'm going to get
into that. I'm still reading it. And and even so,
because the city La wastes so much money on the vagrants,
they don't have money for obviously, we've talked about this
many times, the fire department, right, so, the fire department
(19:52):
is only half funded. Now the police department is going
to get cut. We had ten thousand officers in twenty twenty,
and projections are is once we get the Olympics in
town and the World Cup in Town over the next
few years, we really need twelve thousand. We have far
(20:13):
fewer cops for our population than say New York city,
and we have so much more land mass. We're supposed
to have ten thousand. We've only got eighty four hundred. No,
we have eighty seven hundred. It's going to drop to
eighty four hundred by next year because there's no more money.
(20:36):
So they're going to cut the number of recruits. That
were planning on having about five hundred recruits, they're going
to have half that. And because the department is going
to lose over five hundred officers through retirements and resignations,
the number of sworn officers working is going to go down,
(21:01):
and they're estimating eventually it'll be down another three hundred
from today. Now we need to we need like an
extra two thousand. We're gonna lose three hundred. And this
is because of the vagrants. I can't stress this enough.
Without all the money being wasted on vagrant care, we
would have a much better staffed fire department and police department. Now,
(21:24):
this is what's frustrating, is because so many of the
fire calls, more than half of the actual fires are
started by the vagrants, and many of the police calls
are to handle vagrant nonsense. So everything is reversed, everything's
inverted Instead of beefing up the police and fire because
(21:45):
we have so many mental patients running in the streets.
We are cutting police and fire because we have to
throw so much money into this criminal operation, these homeless
nonprofit agencies. We are funding all the white collar criminals
(22:11):
who are who have saturated government, saturated the homeless nonprofit industry.
They're white collar criminals. They're stealing money, our tax money.
And now we're being told it's like, yeah, we're gonna
be down another three hundred police officers in LA next year.
So are you crazy? The answer is yes, they are crazy.
(22:34):
There's a committee here, the budget Committee. There are five
idiots on the committee, and they're also trying to kill
Karen Bass's proposal to add sixty seven people to the
fire department to address issues dealing with homelessness. They wanted
(22:54):
fifty new firefighters again to help out help put out
the thousands of fires guarded by the vagrants every year.
And they also want new street medicine teams. Street medicine
teams was that bringing a new shipment of drugs to
the drug addicts. You don't need street medicine teams. What
(23:21):
you need are officers going around and putting people under
arrest and giving them a choice jail or you go
to treatment, simple easy, and spend the money on the
treatment clinics. By the way I'm driving around, I am
seeing hundreds and hundreds of empty storefronts. It wouldn't take
(23:46):
much to buy a lot of cheap storefronts, rent them
out and turn them into treatment clinics for drugs. There's
a lot empty buildings that I think you could probably
recast as a as mental facilities. The buildings exist, the
space exists. Karen Bass, along with others, have helped put
(24:10):
a lot of people out of business. You might as well,
I don't know, declare eminent domain and just take all
these buildings in storefronts over and use them for for
drug treatment and mental patient treatment. You know, budget, the
budget once would lay off sixteen hundred civilian workers, including
(24:33):
four hundred LAPD They're the the the way they're trying
to spin this is is that, yeah, we got we
gotta stop hiring cops, but we're going to save one
hundred and thirty three civilian employees who process DNA rape
kits and analyze fingerprints and take photos of crime scenes.
(24:54):
And we obviously need those people. But that's a false choice,
as they say, it's not a choice between civilians analyzing
rape kits and fingerprints, a choice between that and having
active cops. You have active cops and you have the
people analyzing the rape kits and the fingerprints. What you
do is start cutting off the money to the vagrants.
(25:17):
The vagrant situation here is like this infected abscess. We
are bleeding, we are we are loosing. Plus we are
rotting from the inside because of the obsession with the homeless.
It's rotted out the fire department, and you saw what
happened there. It is right, it's rotting at the police department.
(25:40):
You know that that defund the police crowd. You guys
got what you wanted. You should be very happy. And
the police and fire are both overwhelmed by vagrants, and
they're the ones who lose positions. They're the ones who
have to deal with funding cuts. How come the vagrant's
(26:00):
never deal with funding cuts. Well, let's go back to
the beginning. Because all the friends and relatives of the
people in power are running these vagrant nonprofits, so.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
It's a it's a.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
Network of thieves, and you know it doesn't matter to
them to the thieves. It's like they're making money. It's like,
you know, Vlicia Adams Kellum, her husband, that nonprofit gets
two million dollars.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
That's what the game is about.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
And so that's two million dollars that doesn't go for
a fire department, that doesn't go to a police department
or a sheriff's department. All right, when we come back.
I don't know if you heard or saw this. This
was funny. There's a young woman was on Fox News.
She was a commentator and she's in the middle of commentating,
(26:54):
Oh did you see this?
Speaker 5 (26:55):
Yes, this is a fear, another fear of mine.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
Well, we'll play an audio of what happened when we
come back.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
And I laughed. I don't know.
Speaker 5 (27:08):
I was wondering if something like that happened to me
on your show, what you would do?
Speaker 1 (27:14):
Would you laugh?
Speaker 5 (27:15):
Or would you would you sit there? Would you run
over here?
Speaker 1 (27:21):
You really had to think about that. I did well.
This anchor did not cover himself with glory.
Speaker 3 (27:27):
I know.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
All right, let me think about.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
That what I did? Okay, okay, you're listening to John
Cobbels on demand from KFI Am sixty.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
On Fox News.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
They have a show called Fox News at Night and
the host was a filling named Jonathan Hunt, British guy,
and he's talking to a commentator, young pretty blonde woman
named Cameron Kinsey and she's talking I don't know about what,
and suddenly this happens.
Speaker 7 (28:01):
They put her as the borders are. She never went
to the border. So this is about incompetency. It's not
about ideology or it's it's not about uh.
Speaker 6 (28:15):
Oh my goodness. We're just gonna get some help here
for Cameron. Let me go back to Lydia while we
get some help for Cameron here, so uh Lydia the president.
But we're gonna actually we're gonna go to a break
right here.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
We'll be right back.
Speaker 5 (28:35):
I mean, look, it's something you don't expect. We all
don't know how we would really react in a situation
like that. I mean, I would hope John that you'd
come running over here instead of even wasting your time
on the air. Eric would be cackling, God knows, Ray
would be chaos is good for business.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
He'd be taking video.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
You would be live, you'd be live streamed on on Instagram.
Speaker 5 (28:59):
But I would hope you would come over and.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
I would come over you thought about it, but yeah,
because I know you and I like you. This guy
doesn't know the guest right, probably never met her before,
so he didn't have any emotional investment in her. And
so she just falls over dead on the floor, and
he directs the next question to Lydia, who is the
other panelist.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
Let's keep this moving here. Is that the sound it made?
Speaker 8 (29:28):
No, that's what that's enhanced. Yeah, this is the real one.
Speaker 6 (29:35):
Oh my goodness, we're just gonna get some help.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
We're gonna get some help. In the meantime, Lydia, what
do you think?
Speaker 8 (29:45):
I like what we said. We like he was gonna help.
She just went on with the segment. He didn't move
an inch.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
He just looked over like, oh, that's unfortunate, and kept
scrolling on the telephone. That's right, gotta keep the show
moving here. So No, I would run in there.
Speaker 5 (29:58):
I would hope, so, because if if you passed out,
I would I I, well.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
It looks like the loyalty doesn't go both ways.
Speaker 5 (30:09):
No, you know me better than that. Of course I would.
It's ray you really have.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
To worry about.
Speaker 5 (30:15):
I would come running, okay, all right, I wouldn't even
worry about my newscast or anything.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
That's the thing he was.
Speaker 5 (30:22):
So, but again we're doing this, uh huh, we're we're
speculating how we would react. I mean, if it really
happened in the moment.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
Well, you know, you got two choices. You either sit
or you get up and you run and help. Now
you know that woman was right next to him.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
I know, all right it is unfortunately you're.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
You're down the hall and got to open two doors
to get to you.
Speaker 6 (30:47):
So what happened?
Speaker 1 (30:51):
But that is scary.
Speaker 5 (30:53):
I do think about, Wow, what would happen if I
kind of have you know.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
I broke on the air.
Speaker 5 (30:59):
I mean it's bad enough when I start coughing.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
Well, somebody posted actually a guest we once had on
the show, and he posted this thing, uh doctor human Amadi,
and this was his speculation. There's something called vaso vaguel syncope.
It can be caused by stage fright or prolonged sitting,
(31:26):
or being under an intense bright light, and all those
things can be true in a tv S.
Speaker 5 (31:30):
Theory, and but not being dehydrated.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
Yes, dehydration too. Yeah, those are four reasons and all
of them could have happened. I remember this happened to
the to the Witch George Bush, I think the second
George Bush, but.
Speaker 5 (31:44):
Also a local reporter here. Do you remember Serene Branson?
Speaker 2 (31:49):
Yes, yes, she had some kind of very temporary brain
mail fund.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
Yeah, it wasn't a stroke.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
No, it wasn't a stroke. But she was doing a
report and like all the words suddenly came out backwards
and scrammed.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
I never forgot we had her on after that happened,
and so I, uh wait, when she started slowing down
and stumbling a bit in her speech, you could tell
like her eyes were fluttering a bit, like she was
starting to bade to black.
Speaker 7 (32:18):
It's it's not about uh.
Speaker 6 (32:23):
Oh, my goodness, we're just kind of get some help.
Speaker 7 (32:26):
Hit.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
It was a slow motion fall.
Speaker 5 (32:29):
We're not laughing at that?
Speaker 1 (32:30):
Why A, Well, I'm not. I'm laughing at your laughing.
You're laughing at me last, Yes, honestly.
Speaker 5 (32:38):
No, I'm not laughing at that because I told you
I fear that.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
I didn't know that. I didn't know you you fear
that happening on the air here.
Speaker 5 (32:47):
Yeah, it's as I said, there's time right now, I'm
fighting something allergy, cold, whatever, right, and I've been coughing
a lot off the air. I mean there's sometimes I
can't finish, you know, I'll cut out something, you know,
the temperatures or something, just so I can go to
traffic because I'm stifling a cough or whatever.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
You know, you've been in such distress, right Your show
stresses me out?
Speaker 2 (33:12):
Yeah, I stress everybody out. Apparently that's my role in life. Well,
can you do the news now?
Speaker 5 (33:21):
Yeah, but that would be freaky if I if something
happens to me, all right now, universe, don't let it happen.
Speaker 2 (33:25):
If you fall now then yeah, I will laugh because
the timing will be a debormark live in the caf.
I wait, let me promote what's coming up after dever,
because this is a big deal. Michael Mache's coming on
again from USC Marshall School of Business. He had the
reports on why we've been paying too much gas, too
much for gas in California for the last fifty years,
(33:47):
and he had the report that we could be paying
eight to fifty a gallon by the end of twenty
twenty six because there's two refineries closing well. Gavin Newsom's
office has decided to fight Michael Mache and a slander
and smear him. 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
(34:07):
every Monday through Friday, and of course, anytime on demand
