Speaker 1 (00:00):
Can't.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
I am six forty.
Speaker 3 (00:02):
You're listening to the John Cobel podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
Got two rounds of the Moistline coming up at three
twenty and three point fifty. So now we're going to
talk with Rob Monts. We just played you a clip
from his film, a documentary called Paradise Abandoned inside the
Pacific Palisades Fire. It's being released today. It's a thirty
(00:24):
minute documentary. He grew up in the Palisades, then moved
east for college. His mother's home burned in the fire.
His brother Rocky, works at Palisades High School, obviously impacted
by the fire, so he came back to help and
what he found stunned him. And he said it was
not a fluke that the Palisades burned down. It was
(00:48):
abandoned to burn. He said it was a man made disaster.
We played you a piece of his film, and now
we're going to talk to him. Rob Monts, welcome, How
are you?
Speaker 4 (00:58):
Thank you man? I appreciate the intro.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Yeah, I was fascinated just by the four minute clips.
Since this thing was released today, I haven't had a
chance to see this. Let's run through your background briefly,
So you were a Pacific Palisades kid, you grew up there,
and just tell me the background story.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
Well, first I get the plug in, which is we
just dropped it today. So if anybody who's hearing this
wants to watch it, they can just check it out
for free on my YouTube channel at Rob Monts. Yeah,
Palisades Born and Bred went out to the East Coast,
and then when the Palisades Fire happened, I mean stated objectively,
it's an extraordinarily odd thing to have occurred, right, Yeah,
(01:41):
which is a couple embers in some dry brush, just
a couple miles from the house that I grew up in,
was able to grow to the point that it incinerated
the most valuable real estate in Los Angeles. Just stated objectively,
it's a pretty odd thing to have happened. And I'd
say when we first set out and again and I'm
from the Palisades born and bred there, that's where my
(02:03):
boy Scout troop was, That's where I did Christmas pageants,
That's where I did July fourth pageants. That's my homeland,
right that got incinerated to a crisp And so when
we first launched the project, The idea was when an
event so apocalyptic happens in the first forty eight hours
of the news cycle, there tends to be a lot
of explanations, a lot of conspiracy theories, a lot of
(02:23):
kind of predictable partisan talking points, and then the public
usually just moves on. And the plan for the doc
was to dip back into the fire and to actually
cut through the stuff that doesn't matter and identify the
specific human errors that allowed this catastrophic event to happen.
(02:44):
And you mentioned that Utez are right there. What we
discovered over the course of that investigation is the story
of the second day of the fire, which is a
story that nobody's covered, not CNN, not sixteen Minutes, not
Fox News, not MSNBC, nobody, nobody. And on the second
(03:05):
day of the fire is when you functionally have the
political leadership of Los Angeles and California abandoning the town
to burn. And that's what you're that's what you tease
at in your description.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Yeah, uh that I've heard that story. You know that
we you know, a couple of clips hinting at that
or not hinting on it's saying it directly. We're in
you know, the clip that we played from your documentary.
But I heard those stories from people I know and
people I don't know that I just ran across because
(03:42):
I live in Brentwood right next door, and my wife
and I we take hikes in Pechero Canyon frequently, and
so we've talked to a lot of people who lost
their homes, and several of my friends who lost their homes.
They all had the same story about the firefighters not
showing up at all, or showing up and not doing anything.
(04:02):
And every time I was stunned by it. And after
you hear the story so many times, you start to wonder,
It's like, well, was.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
That the plan?
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Was that the official policy We're just going to stand
here and let it burn?
Speaker 4 (04:15):
Well, well, I mean the way to put it is this, Okay,
So the first half of the documentary I identifies exactly
the specific human errors that led this catastrophe to happen.
But then think about the morning of day two of
the fire. So this is Wednesday, January eighth. The winds
have died down considerably so they can put choppers back
(04:37):
in the sky to drop water. Los Angeles had been
flooded with fire crews because California has a policy of
mutual aid, where other cities and other states will send
their firefighters to help other cities in the state like
a staff back up. Right, Yeah, And multiple high ranking
municipal and state officials are holding flashy press conferences in
(05:00):
Pacific Palisades on the beach next to the Palisades, promising
to do everything in their power to save this precious village.
Right and on the morning of day two, the streets
of the Palisades are empty. There are no firefighters there.
There are no firefighters there. In something like a thousand
(05:21):
structures that had survived the first twenty four hours of
the fire that are still standing on the second morning
have been burned to a crisp by that evening, right, yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
So what's up with that?
Speaker 4 (05:36):
I haven't heard much major media attention about that, And
so the documentary dives into precisely what happened on that
second day. We try to get into why it happened,
if I'm being honest, We aren't able to precisely identify
who made the call, in part because the response to
the fires in the Palisade was so muddled and there
(05:59):
weren't clear your chain of commands But this is a
gigantic part of the story that I think the vast
majority of Americans simply don't know about, having appreciated, don't
appreciate it hasn't really been covered.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
The idea that the firefighters were told to stand down
is just shocking and infuriating, because you know, we're trained
since birth. And I'm not necessarily blaming the firefighters, but
the command structure, the management. It seems somebody decided to
tell them to stand back, and that just I think
(06:34):
makes a lot of people crazy if it's true.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
So I grew up on a street called Los Casas
and Lost Causes is bisected by Sunset Boulevard, this famous
iconic street that runs all the way through Los Angeles.
I grew up on the north side of Los Causes.
My mom's home burned down around one o'clock in the
morning on the first day of the fires. If people
watch the documentary, they'll see an interview that I did
(06:59):
with the body of mind by the name of Nathan,
who lives on the south half of Las Casas in
a community of about two hundred and fifty houses. And
in those two hundred and fifty houses, there actually are
the houses that are the literal lost cassases that the
street is named after these beautiful Spanish villas that were
built over one hundred years ago. On the morning of
(07:22):
day two, all two hundred and fifty of those houses
were still intact. Wow And by the end of day
two there were all of them but three were gone.
And as Nathan recounts in the documentary, he says that
a neighbor of his had come back to that neighborhood
on the morning of day two and he's seen that
(07:43):
houses were beginning to catch fire. And he went down
to the beach at the bottom of the Mescal Canyon
near the Pacific Ocean, and saw that there were tons
of firefighters that were stationed at the bottom of the beach,
and he tells them, these houses are starting to burn,
can you guys help us out out? And his neighbor
recounts that the firefighters were eating breakfast burritos and say
(08:06):
to him that they've been told to stand down. So
what's up with that? What's up with that? And part
of what the documentary's about is that on day two
the Palisades, much of it was still eminently savable.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
Right.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
It is true that the three main reservoirs that feed
the Palisades had run dry, so there were issues with water.
There was also the San Yonez Reservoir, which is a
gigantic reservoir of over one hundred and seventeen million gallons
that was empty the day of the fire because of
colossal municipal estate mismanagement, but set that aside, so there
(08:46):
was no water in the tanks that was feeding the
fire hydrants. But the Palisades was still filled with water,
including pool water. And we know for a fact that
water could be used to save how is because I
talked to many Palisades residents in open defiance of the
law who broke back into the Palisades and did just
(09:08):
that to save their community using pool water saving homes.
And they were counted to me on camera that they're
doing this hard work and the whole time they don't
see a firefighter in sight.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
I I met a guy on one of the hikes
who said his family had lived through the fire when
he was a kid of nineteen seventy eight, and so
he always had a fire hose in his house because
he remembered the original fire as a kid, and so
when this happened, he watered down his roof and watered
(09:43):
down his property, and he watered down the roofs and
property of a couple of his neighbors, and all those
homes were saved. Other homes in the neighborhood burned. The
only fire department personnel showed up were a couple of
guys who said, yeah, we got to get a roof
crew here. They left, and nobody else showed up again.
So with a two and a half inch hose, he
(10:05):
personally saved three homes by himself, right, one guy, one hose,
Which is why I know the one hundred and seventeen
million gallons in the Santienez reservoir, it would have had
an effect. And I know having hundreds and hundreds of
firefighters on the sea would have had an effect. It's
just common sense. It's not debatable, right, And yet no water.
Speaker 4 (10:29):
Well, we talked ahead. We talked to someone that's known
me since I was two years old in Palisades Lutheran Church,
a guy by the name of George, who did not
evacuate the Palisades, stayed there for about six days, and
he probably single handedly saved the church that I grew
(10:50):
up in Palisades Lutheran Church because he had a fire hose.
And obviously the fire, particularly in the late afternoon in
the evening on day one, was pretty crazy because it
had been supercharged by these Santa Ana winds. But a
lot of the way that the structures burned down is
(11:11):
because some embers would hit the structures and they build
up to the point that they could burn it down.
And if you have a guy like George who's standing
outside of palace a Lutheran church with a water hose
and you're just putting the embers out the spot fire
is one by one, you can still save structures even
if you don't have a ton of water, even if
you're not a professionally trained firefighter, right, And so it's
(11:36):
it's really a matter of how much of that could
have been done on day two if if there was
just a lot more personnel on the ground, and there
just wasn't. And we just know that that was an
intentional decision not to do anything.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
We just know it.
Speaker 4 (11:51):
And again, a lot of people, as we've been doing
this media tour have sort of been coming to me
about kind of grander conspiracy theories about where the fire
came from, why it's started is there's some master plan here,
is the Illuminati behind it? I'm like, whatever, I haven't
found evidence for that, but I do tell them the truth,
which is I think what we were able to prove
is even worse than any conspiracy theory.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Rob.
Speaker 4 (12:13):
In terms of the scandal, people letting Pallisades burn.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Rob, we should talk again. But thank you for coming on.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
And it's Paradise Abandoned inside the Pacific Palisades Fire documentary
just released today. You go to YouTube and go to
Rob Monts's channel. His name is spelled m o Ntz.
Rob Montz, thank you for coming on.
Speaker 4 (12:32):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
All right, we've got a voice light coming up next.
Speaker 5 (12:37):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Let's do round one of the Moiceline.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Now, Hey, it's Sean.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Thanks for calling the Moistline.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
I'm so excited to hear from you to bat time.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
I'm listening to you talk about Governor Idiot Newsom's COVID
restrictions during Thanksgiving twenty twenty and I'm being angry all
over again. I want to Oh my god, there should
be sky.
Speaker 6 (13:03):
Riding and plays with those tags that they drag behind
that say you know this is what you did, Governor
Jet He should never be allowed to forget what he
did to this state.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
And what point can all this government fraud?
Speaker 3 (13:19):
What point can I write that off my taxes?
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Just cod alone, I think.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
They've stole about seven hundred fifty dollars per person.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
You're right there, off.
Speaker 7 (13:27):
Yeah, Now, Karen Bath and missed him could learn a
lot from shephern of Serrado about running a lgitimate organization.
You know, all these crooks who mean politics can learn
a lot from him.
Speaker 8 (13:43):
We should all wear masks and support of ICE. That
would drive the liberals crazy because you know they always
want to control.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
What we do, so we should all put masks on
and support of ICE.
Speaker 9 (13:54):
Well, it was responsible all these people being his country
should be locked up and keep going away.
Speaker 10 (14:00):
Tim Wallas, he's a complete moron, he'd probably I mean,
I can't even begin to speak poorly of.
Speaker 9 (14:08):
In never mind, it's called global dominance. Eventually we're gonna
get to a point where these wells start going dry
and we're the last ones to have oil.
Speaker 8 (14:20):
Then we'll be.
Speaker 11 (14:22):
Starting pretty good.
Speaker 12 (14:23):
So you got to keep our wills full.
Speaker 9 (14:26):
Pluck up, everyone, else who's oil and then at again
tell everyone.
Speaker 13 (14:31):
Unlikely those figures are as you have on all the
people's self supporting out of Los Angeles are true because Nelson.
Speaker 8 (14:39):
Hasn't taken credit for it yet. To it would be impossible.
Speaker 6 (14:42):
Only he would take credit for something he didn't want
to happen.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
But some people might like.
Speaker 14 (14:47):
The Democratic Party is part of a government gangster type
of setup. And these guys are stealing all the money.
Look at what's happening in Minneapolis, Minnesota. They're stealing all
the money. You look what happens, and the city council
foot alpain. If they just steal money, I mean they
do nothing for the people and steal the money.
Speaker 15 (15:03):
You win a wig.
Speaker 14 (15:04):
Gonna wake up and just not vote for these people anymore.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Come on the mayor and the governor.
Speaker 8 (15:09):
Saying that thieves.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Would be wighd has nothing to do with what the
city council does.
Speaker 9 (15:13):
That's the fact.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
They do not control the city council.
Speaker 8 (15:17):
They do not control the county's supervisors.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
They are the mayor, they are the governor. LA has
a fairly weak mayor.
Speaker 14 (15:24):
The city council has more power.
Speaker 4 (15:27):
I would a dance city John even in the furry costume.
Speaker 7 (15:30):
I'm twenty eight. Your audience hits a younger crowd.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Too, I promise, Hey, John, you're looking my suite.
Speaker 8 (15:37):
As a furry. So one hundred and seventeen million gallons
would have helped any of the fires.
Speaker 6 (15:43):
With Carusoe, he had a few water tankers and a
couple guys and none of this stuff turned down.
Speaker 8 (15:47):
Come on THEE.
Speaker 15 (15:49):
One hundred and twelveth side of the Upcoming Apocalypse, John
prancing around as a furry on a liner note. Jiece
Canons still has for a job.
Speaker 4 (16:01):
You know, it's really sad now the city of la
and of course in the back road news going over
the Palace Stade fire victims about this permit process.
Speaker 10 (16:10):
After a certain age, the kids aren't brought up by us,
no matter what we tell them to do. It's their peers,
and they want to impress their peers. And now with
the Internet and YouTube and stuff that's going on, they
think it's funny to do stuff.
Speaker 13 (16:26):
I've been to seven different McDonald's trying to get a
McRib and they're all sold out.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Why don't they have a year round.
Speaker 13 (16:35):
Let's start a petition or something to carry a year round.
Speaker 16 (16:40):
My parents had a yellow Pontiac Katleena when we were
growing up. We had seven kids in our family and
that vehicle fit everyone inside and it was a super
tough vehicle.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
So yeah, I remember that car.
Speaker 12 (16:56):
Cool.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
Thank you for leaving your message.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
Please hang out up good By.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
That's around one of the moist line eight seven seven
moist eighty six. If you want to do it for
next Friday, next week, anytime, you can call twenty four
to seven eight seven seven moist eighty six. Second round
coming up after three point fifty and when we return
after Michael's news, you get the feeling that the world
has gotten more stupid, that people are more stupid, less educated,
(17:25):
can't do basics, well that whole you see San Diego
story about how so many incoming freshmen can't even do
middle school math, they do math at the fifth grade
level or worse. Wall Street Journal did an analysis of it,
and you're right.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
I'm right.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
People are coming out of college with degrees and they're
more stupid and they know less.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
And I'll give you the proof when we come back.
Speaker 5 (17:53):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.

YouTube dot com slash at John cobelt Show, and we're
putting longer form videos on And if you want to
follow us on any of the other social media platforms,
it's at John coblt Radio. Slightly different. Okay, you probably
(18:20):
heard within the last week or two there was a
big story out of You See San Diego that one
in eight freshmen admitted to You See san Diego lacks
basic high school math skills and one out of twelve
lack even middle school math skills. The number of You
(18:46):
See San Diego freshmen that have deficient math skills is
thirty times higher than it was in twenty twenty. Let
that sync in thirty times higher than before the pandemic.
(19:06):
You're closing the schools was a real smart Gavine some idea,
it's making a whole generation as stupid as he is.
And even though what out of eight or below high
school level in math skills and what out of twelve
or below middle school level? The average high school math
(19:26):
GPA was a minus for students taking a middle school
or medial course. So these students showed up UC San
Diego didn't know high school math, didn't know middle school math,
had to take a remedial course. And somebody looked at well,
what was their high school GPA for math?
Speaker 2 (19:47):
It was an A minus. So a high school game
in a minus.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
They get to college, it's like, wow, you're at a
You're at a fifth grade level or worse. Okay, how
did this happen? Why are they getting stupider? It's not
only Newsome closing the schools. Oh, by the way, Over
Newsom's time in office, they've increased the education budget by
forty billion dollars forty billion, So it's not money either,
(20:18):
that's not the issue.
Speaker 14 (20:20):
Now.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
You see, San Diego is a highly rated school US
News and World Report. If you trust that, and there
are reasons not to said, it is the number six
public university in the nation.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
Number six.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
All right, So I told you about the lack of
math skills for the incoming freshman class. And because so
many incoming students were and it's described as being numerically illiterate.
I've also seen them use the word enumerate that means
you can't do math. So you see San Diego added
(20:56):
that remedial class Now, among the students who had to
take remedial, middle and elementary school math, ninety four percent
had completed an advanced math class in high school. They
had taken pre calculus or calculus or statistics. They had
(21:19):
and on average they got an A minus in those courses.
So follow this, you have these kids, they took advanced
math in high school up to calculus, they got an
A minus for it. They go to UC San Diego
and they're at a pre fifth grade level. What's going on, Well,
(21:46):
one thing is the UC Board of Regents. Back in
twenty twenty, in the name of equity, which is a
curse word, they got rid of the standardized tests because
black and Hispanic students were scoring lower on average on
the SAT and the schools didn't want to grade everybody
(22:12):
with an SAT number. And then critics would find out
that they were letting in people.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Who had low scores.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
Because remember in nineteen ninety six we passed a referendum
no racial preferences. Well, if you're letting in black and
Hispanic kids with low scores, then you're going to be
accused of racial preferences. So the solution is, don't give
tests to anybody. Then nobody can track why the kids
were let in. Okay, they wanted to boost diversity and
(22:55):
overall enrollment. They get more government student aid, so they
started increasing the number of unqualified applicants from low income schools.
And I guess these are a lot of the kids
who can't do middle or high school math. You see,
San Diego claimed, in order to holistically admit a diverse
(23:18):
and representative class, we need to admit students who may
be at a higher risk of not succeeding.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
They actually admitted this.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
To now, whenever you see the word holistically from anybody
in government, you know they're full of crap. That's a
code word for I'm full of it. And a diverse
and representative class. No, it's supposed to be a class
of people who are capable of doing at least high
(23:49):
school math. This explains what's going on here now. Wall
Street Journal points out that so the students who come
in and they don't know middle school math and they
don't know high school math, and they were given a's
and they don't have to take SAT anymore, Well, those
(24:11):
kids really struggle in college. They take longer to complete degrees,
so they end up they end up in greater debt.
They have to keep taking out loans as they're going
to school in year five and year six, and of course,
you see San Diego makes more money guaranteed by the government.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
See how the scam works.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
We'll let you in and then you sit there for
four or five six years spinning your wheels. He really
don't have the capacity to do this.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Kind of work.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
Hardly any students who take remedial math ever get an
engineering degree.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
How about that is tiny.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
In fact, it may be nobody. They don't know for sure,
but they say few, if any students, if they're taking
remedial math, they're not going to stick around and get
an engineering degree. So it's a scam on the part
of U. See San Diego to builk money with these
government back loans out of the students. Students don't get
(25:22):
their degree, at least they don't get a degree, and
they feel that they went in and now they have
a lot of debt that they're going to carry around
for decades. The university's admissions program places a heavy emphasis
on high school GPAs, but they're not reliable because the
grades are inflated. Some students are cheating their way to
(25:44):
high grades. Smartphones and AI make it easier to cheat,
and scores on AP tests are less dependable. Because the
college Board made the exams easier, they wanted more students
to take them so they could make more money. College
board makes more money. You see San Diego makes more money.
You get fake scores, you end up in debt as
(26:06):
a student and no degree. The share of students passing
AP exams has soared over the last two decades. Sword
the share of students passing calculus. It's up six points,
English language up eighteen, Chemistry up twenty one, US history
(26:30):
up twenty three. Except you, if you actually test them
for competency, they do terribly. It's fake tests, it's fake scores.
The high schools have failed because across the country only
(26:55):
twenty two of twelfth graders are proficient in math according
to the National Assessment of Educational Progress. The College Board
is dumped down the SAT test to get more students
to take it. The SAT only takes two hours instead
(27:15):
of three. Students get more time to complete each question.
They don't have long reading passages anymore because students have
TikTok attention spans. This is all written up by Alyssa
Finley in the Wall Street Journal. So that's how you
get all those students at UC San Diego, the number
(27:36):
six school among public universities, who can't do high school math,
they can't do middle school math, but boy, they racked
up a lot of a's in school. It's all scam.
Everything is a racket. Now we have another round of
the Moistline coming up.
Speaker 5 (27:53):
You're listening to John Cobelts on demand from KFI Am
six forty.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
We'll do the Moist Line in just a minute. Did
you hear about the Harvard Law school professor who the
Trump administration has deported because he was found outside a
synagogue in the Boston area firing a pellet rifle in
the air and when police showed up, he told them
(28:20):
he was hunting rats, hunting rats next to a synagogue.
Of course, Harvard had hired him. His name was Carlos
Portugal Govilla, and Ice arrested him and he's agreed to
return to Brazil to avoid official deportation. He's a visiting
(28:41):
law professor at Harvard and he was on a j
one temporary visa which got revoked.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
He fired two shots into the air.
Speaker 3 (28:51):
He was confronted by the synagogue's private security, there was
a struggle. He fled inside his home, which is near
the city to goog and when confronted finally by the cops,
he said he was using a pellet gun to hunt rats.
We just happened to be outside the synagogue and they
(29:11):
discovered one of the shots that had shattered a local
a nearby car window. Why so many professors, you're insane.
Let's do the moistline eight seven seven moist eighty six.
If you want to be on next week, Let's go
round two here.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
Hey, seug, thanks.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
For calling the moistline.
Speaker 8 (29:31):
I'm so excited to hear from you. It's about time.
Speaker 17 (29:35):
This is Leslie and Manchacu Kamunga and I've lived here
for over twenty years, seeing a lot fewer Teklas now
and more and more of those Ribbean SUVs. Kind of crazy,
but they're totally electric and the batteries in the back
and the trunk is under the hood, and it's totally weird.
Speaker 14 (29:53):
The protesters demanding ice free zones, well I can think
of one ice free zone.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
Right off the top of my head in Mexico.
Speaker 11 (30:00):
Woo John. I just looked up I guess, buddy, where
I'm going to in a few weeks. Norman, Oklahoma, gasoline
is a dollar ninety.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
Nine, a dollar ninety nine, and.
Speaker 11 (30:15):
It finally dropped down to four dollars and nine cents
here in Seemi Valley.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
OI. We are getting screwed. Okay.
Speaker 18 (30:24):
All they would have to do is claim that they're
still scared of COVID, and they could wear the masks,
because you know the mandate that they pushed on us,
wear the mask, wear the mask. Now they're saying no mask.
Speaker 13 (30:41):
The federal government warned people. The federal government warned people
that since the state and city is sanctuary and they
can't obtain the people they want coming out of jail
and so forth, that they have to go out into
the citizen rate, and if they run across somebody, that's
all they will arrest them too.
Speaker 19 (31:02):
There's a cost associated with the building permits. You know,
you got to pay those inspectors and plan readers who
wouldn't know it properly dug trench from the hole on
their backside. They're not cheap.
Speaker 8 (31:16):
Hey, you guys need to quit referring to our fearless
leaders in Sacramento as communists and socialists. They're not, they're fascists.
Fascism is defined as a system of government in which
the state controls all significant aspects of it's citizens lives.
Speaker 14 (31:33):
I don't understand why they're making a big deal about
Minnesota and mis managing all the funds, and.
Speaker 13 (31:39):
That's been going on in California longer and for a
lot more money.
Speaker 10 (31:43):
Okay, they can't get the nine to one one system working,
but they have a new.
Speaker 6 (31:49):
Portal to snitch on ICE.
Speaker 4 (31:52):
Oh my god, how come they can get that up
and running so quickly but they can't do the other
This case is so backwards.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
John, you said that elon Omar either was naive and
didn't know about the money, or she didn't care. I
think there's a third possibility, and she's probably got a
pretty decent save to account.
Speaker 9 (32:14):
Now, how in the hell is this insurance commissioner.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
Not in jail using all of our money?
Speaker 2 (32:22):
This guy belongs in jail. Put him there.
Speaker 12 (32:26):
I'm just wondering why we can't have some kind of
line set up to report people that are illegally here.
If BONTA can set up a line to report ICE
agents doing their job.
Speaker 8 (32:40):
Thank you for leaving your message, Please hang up goodbye.
Speaker 3 (32:44):
Because you're all good questions, We'll be back on Monday
to further try to answer them. We got Conways next,
and Michael Kerser has the news Wive in the canf
I twenty four hour Newsroom. Hey, you've been listening to
the John Cobalt Show podcast. You can hear the show
live on KFI AM six forty from one to four
pm every Monday through Friday, and of course, anytime on
(33:06):
demand on the iHeartRadio app
Can't.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
I am six forty.
Speaker 3 (00:02):
You're listening to the John Cobel podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
Got two rounds of the Moistline coming up at three
twenty and three point fifty. So now we're going to
talk with Rob Monts. We just played you a clip
from his film, a documentary called Paradise Abandoned inside the
Pacific Palisades Fire. It's being released today. It's a thirty
(00:24):
minute documentary. He grew up in the Palisades, then moved
east for college. His mother's home burned in the fire.
His brother Rocky, works at Palisades High School, obviously impacted
by the fire, so he came back to help and
what he found stunned him. And he said it was
not a fluke that the Palisades burned down. It was
(00:48):
abandoned to burn. He said it was a man made disaster.
We played you a piece of his film, and now
we're going to talk to him. Rob Monts, welcome, How
are you?
Speaker 4 (00:58):
Thank you man? I appreciate the intro.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Yeah, I was fascinated just by the four minute clips.
Since this thing was released today, I haven't had a
chance to see this. Let's run through your background briefly,
So you were a Pacific Palisades kid, you grew up there,
and just tell me the background story.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
Well, first I get the plug in, which is we
just dropped it today. So if anybody who's hearing this
wants to watch it, they can just check it out
for free on my YouTube channel at Rob Monts. Yeah,
Palisades Born and Bred went out to the East Coast,
and then when the Palisades Fire happened, I mean stated objectively,
it's an extraordinarily odd thing to have occurred, right, Yeah,
(01:41):
which is a couple embers in some dry brush, just
a couple miles from the house that I grew up in,
was able to grow to the point that it incinerated
the most valuable real estate in Los Angeles. Just stated objectively,
it's a pretty odd thing to have happened. And I'd
say when we first set out and again and I'm
from the Palisades born and bred there, that's where my
(02:03):
boy Scout troop was, That's where I did Christmas pageants,
That's where I did July fourth pageants. That's my homeland,
right that got incinerated to a crisp And so when
we first launched the project, The idea was when an
event so apocalyptic happens in the first forty eight hours
of the news cycle, there tends to be a lot
of explanations, a lot of conspiracy theories, a lot of
(02:23):
kind of predictable partisan talking points, and then the public
usually just moves on. And the plan for the doc
was to dip back into the fire and to actually
cut through the stuff that doesn't matter and identify the
specific human errors that allowed this catastrophic event to happen.
(02:44):
And you mentioned that Utez are right there. What we
discovered over the course of that investigation is the story
of the second day of the fire, which is a
story that nobody's covered, not CNN, not sixteen Minutes, not
Fox News, not MSNBC, nobody, nobody. And on the second
(03:05):
day of the fire is when you functionally have the
political leadership of Los Angeles and California abandoning the town
to burn. And that's what you're that's what you tease
at in your description.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Yeah, uh that I've heard that story. You know that
we you know, a couple of clips hinting at that
or not hinting on it's saying it directly. We're in
you know, the clip that we played from your documentary.
But I heard those stories from people I know and
people I don't know that I just ran across because
(03:42):
I live in Brentwood right next door, and my wife
and I we take hikes in Pechero Canyon frequently, and
so we've talked to a lot of people who lost
their homes, and several of my friends who lost their homes.
They all had the same story about the firefighters not
showing up at all, or showing up and not doing anything.
(04:02):
And every time I was stunned by it. And after
you hear the story so many times, you start to wonder,
It's like, well, was.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
That the plan?
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Was that the official policy We're just going to stand
here and let it burn?
Speaker 4 (04:15):
Well, well, I mean the way to put it is this, Okay,
So the first half of the documentary I identifies exactly
the specific human errors that led this catastrophe to happen.
But then think about the morning of day two of
the fire. So this is Wednesday, January eighth. The winds
have died down considerably so they can put choppers back
(04:37):
in the sky to drop water. Los Angeles had been
flooded with fire crews because California has a policy of
mutual aid, where other cities and other states will send
their firefighters to help other cities in the state like
a staff back up. Right, Yeah, And multiple high ranking
municipal and state officials are holding flashy press conferences in
(05:00):
Pacific Palisades on the beach next to the Palisades, promising
to do everything in their power to save this precious village.
Right and on the morning of day two, the streets
of the Palisades are empty. There are no firefighters there.
There are no firefighters there. In something like a thousand
(05:21):
structures that had survived the first twenty four hours of
the fire that are still standing on the second morning
have been burned to a crisp by that evening, right, yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
So what's up with that?
Speaker 4 (05:36):
I haven't heard much major media attention about that, And
so the documentary dives into precisely what happened on that
second day. We try to get into why it happened,
if I'm being honest, We aren't able to precisely identify
who made the call, in part because the response to
the fires in the Palisade was so muddled and there
(05:59):
weren't clear your chain of commands But this is a
gigantic part of the story that I think the vast
majority of Americans simply don't know about, having appreciated, don't
appreciate it hasn't really been covered.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
The idea that the firefighters were told to stand down
is just shocking and infuriating, because you know, we're trained
since birth. And I'm not necessarily blaming the firefighters, but
the command structure, the management. It seems somebody decided to
tell them to stand back, and that just I think
(06:34):
makes a lot of people crazy if it's true.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
So I grew up on a street called Los Casas
and Lost Causes is bisected by Sunset Boulevard, this famous
iconic street that runs all the way through Los Angeles.
I grew up on the north side of Los Causes.
My mom's home burned down around one o'clock in the
morning on the first day of the fires. If people
watch the documentary, they'll see an interview that I did
(06:59):
with the body of mind by the name of Nathan,
who lives on the south half of Las Casas in
a community of about two hundred and fifty houses. And
in those two hundred and fifty houses, there actually are
the houses that are the literal lost cassases that the
street is named after these beautiful Spanish villas that were
built over one hundred years ago. On the morning of
(07:22):
day two, all two hundred and fifty of those houses
were still intact. Wow And by the end of day
two there were all of them but three were gone.
And as Nathan recounts in the documentary, he says that
a neighbor of his had come back to that neighborhood
on the morning of day two and he's seen that
(07:43):
houses were beginning to catch fire. And he went down
to the beach at the bottom of the Mescal Canyon
near the Pacific Ocean, and saw that there were tons
of firefighters that were stationed at the bottom of the beach,
and he tells them, these houses are starting to burn,
can you guys help us out out? And his neighbor
recounts that the firefighters were eating breakfast burritos and say
(08:06):
to him that they've been told to stand down. So
what's up with that? What's up with that? And part
of what the documentary's about is that on day two
the Palisades, much of it was still eminently savable.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
Right.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
It is true that the three main reservoirs that feed
the Palisades had run dry, so there were issues with water.
There was also the San Yonez Reservoir, which is a
gigantic reservoir of over one hundred and seventeen million gallons
that was empty the day of the fire because of
colossal municipal estate mismanagement, but set that aside, so there
(08:46):
was no water in the tanks that was feeding the
fire hydrants. But the Palisades was still filled with water,
including pool water. And we know for a fact that
water could be used to save how is because I
talked to many Palisades residents in open defiance of the
law who broke back into the Palisades and did just
(09:08):
that to save their community using pool water saving homes.
And they were counted to me on camera that they're
doing this hard work and the whole time they don't
see a firefighter in sight.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
I I met a guy on one of the hikes
who said his family had lived through the fire when
he was a kid of nineteen seventy eight, and so
he always had a fire hose in his house because
he remembered the original fire as a kid, and so
when this happened, he watered down his roof and watered
(09:43):
down his property, and he watered down the roofs and
property of a couple of his neighbors, and all those
homes were saved. Other homes in the neighborhood burned. The
only fire department personnel showed up were a couple of
guys who said, yeah, we got to get a roof
crew here. They left, and nobody else showed up again.
So with a two and a half inch hose, he
(10:05):
personally saved three homes by himself, right, one guy, one hose,
Which is why I know the one hundred and seventeen
million gallons in the Santienez reservoir, it would have had
an effect. And I know having hundreds and hundreds of
firefighters on the sea would have had an effect. It's
just common sense. It's not debatable, right, And yet no water.
Speaker 4 (10:29):
Well, we talked ahead. We talked to someone that's known
me since I was two years old in Palisades Lutheran Church,
a guy by the name of George, who did not
evacuate the Palisades, stayed there for about six days, and
he probably single handedly saved the church that I grew
(10:50):
up in Palisades Lutheran Church because he had a fire hose.
And obviously the fire, particularly in the late afternoon in
the evening on day one, was pretty crazy because it
had been supercharged by these Santa Ana winds. But a
lot of the way that the structures burned down is
(11:11):
because some embers would hit the structures and they build
up to the point that they could burn it down.
And if you have a guy like George who's standing
outside of palace a Lutheran church with a water hose
and you're just putting the embers out the spot fire
is one by one, you can still save structures even
if you don't have a ton of water, even if
you're not a professionally trained firefighter, right, And so it's
(11:36):
it's really a matter of how much of that could
have been done on day two if if there was
just a lot more personnel on the ground, and there
just wasn't. And we just know that that was an
intentional decision not to do anything.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
We just know it.
Speaker 4 (11:51):
And again, a lot of people, as we've been doing
this media tour have sort of been coming to me
about kind of grander conspiracy theories about where the fire
came from, why it's started is there's some master plan here,
is the Illuminati behind it? I'm like, whatever, I haven't
found evidence for that, but I do tell them the truth,
which is I think what we were able to prove
is even worse than any conspiracy theory.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Rob.
Speaker 4 (12:13):
In terms of the scandal, people letting Pallisades burn.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Rob, we should talk again. But thank you for coming on.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
And it's Paradise Abandoned inside the Pacific Palisades Fire documentary
just released today. You go to YouTube and go to
Rob Monts's channel. His name is spelled m o Ntz.
Rob Montz, thank you for coming on.
Speaker 4 (12:32):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
All right, we've got a voice light coming up next.
Speaker 5 (12:37):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Let's do round one of the Moiceline.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Now, Hey, it's Sean.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Thanks for calling the Moistline.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
I'm so excited to hear from you to bat time.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
I'm listening to you talk about Governor Idiot Newsom's COVID
restrictions during Thanksgiving twenty twenty and I'm being angry all
over again. I want to Oh my god, there should
be sky.
Speaker 6 (13:03):
Riding and plays with those tags that they drag behind
that say you know this is what you did, Governor
Jet He should never be allowed to forget what he
did to this state.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
And what point can all this government fraud?
Speaker 3 (13:19):
What point can I write that off my taxes?
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Just cod alone, I think.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
They've stole about seven hundred fifty dollars per person.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
You're right there, off.
Speaker 7 (13:27):
Yeah, Now, Karen Bath and missed him could learn a
lot from shephern of Serrado about running a lgitimate organization.
You know, all these crooks who mean politics can learn
a lot from him.
Speaker 8 (13:43):
We should all wear masks and support of ICE. That
would drive the liberals crazy because you know they always
want to control.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
What we do, so we should all put masks on
and support of ICE.
Speaker 9 (13:54):
Well, it was responsible all these people being his country
should be locked up and keep going away.
Speaker 10 (14:00):
Tim Wallas, he's a complete moron, he'd probably I mean,
I can't even begin to speak poorly of.
Speaker 9 (14:08):
In never mind, it's called global dominance. Eventually we're gonna
get to a point where these wells start going dry
and we're the last ones to have oil.
Speaker 8 (14:20):
Then we'll be.
Speaker 11 (14:22):
Starting pretty good.
Speaker 12 (14:23):
So you got to keep our wills full.
Speaker 9 (14:26):
Pluck up, everyone, else who's oil and then at again
tell everyone.
Speaker 13 (14:31):
Unlikely those figures are as you have on all the
people's self supporting out of Los Angeles are true because Nelson.
Speaker 8 (14:39):
Hasn't taken credit for it yet. To it would be impossible.
Speaker 6 (14:42):
Only he would take credit for something he didn't want
to happen.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
But some people might like.
Speaker 14 (14:47):
The Democratic Party is part of a government gangster type
of setup. And these guys are stealing all the money.
Look at what's happening in Minneapolis, Minnesota. They're stealing all
the money. You look what happens, and the city council
foot alpain. If they just steal money, I mean they
do nothing for the people and steal the money.
Speaker 15 (15:03):
You win a wig.
Speaker 14 (15:04):
Gonna wake up and just not vote for these people anymore.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Come on the mayor and the governor.
Speaker 8 (15:09):
Saying that thieves.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Would be wighd has nothing to do with what the
city council does.
Speaker 9 (15:13):
That's the fact.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
They do not control the city council.
Speaker 8 (15:17):
They do not control the county's supervisors.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
They are the mayor, they are the governor. LA has
a fairly weak mayor.
Speaker 14 (15:24):
The city council has more power.
Speaker 4 (15:27):
I would a dance city John even in the furry costume.
Speaker 7 (15:30):
I'm twenty eight. Your audience hits a younger crowd.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Too, I promise, Hey, John, you're looking my suite.
Speaker 8 (15:37):
As a furry. So one hundred and seventeen million gallons
would have helped any of the fires.
Speaker 6 (15:43):
With Carusoe, he had a few water tankers and a
couple guys and none of this stuff turned down.
Speaker 8 (15:47):
Come on THEE.
Speaker 15 (15:49):
One hundred and twelveth side of the Upcoming Apocalypse, John
prancing around as a furry on a liner note. Jiece
Canons still has for a job.
Speaker 4 (16:01):
You know, it's really sad now the city of la
and of course in the back road news going over
the Palace Stade fire victims about this permit process.
Speaker 10 (16:10):
After a certain age, the kids aren't brought up by us,
no matter what we tell them to do. It's their peers,
and they want to impress their peers. And now with
the Internet and YouTube and stuff that's going on, they
think it's funny to do stuff.
Speaker 13 (16:26):
I've been to seven different McDonald's trying to get a
McRib and they're all sold out.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Why don't they have a year round.
Speaker 13 (16:35):
Let's start a petition or something to carry a year round.
Speaker 16 (16:40):
My parents had a yellow Pontiac Katleena when we were
growing up. We had seven kids in our family and
that vehicle fit everyone inside and it was a super
tough vehicle.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
So yeah, I remember that car.
Speaker 12 (16:56):
Cool.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
Thank you for leaving your message.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
Please hang out up good By.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
That's around one of the moist line eight seven seven
moist eighty six. If you want to do it for
next Friday, next week, anytime, you can call twenty four
to seven eight seven seven moist eighty six. Second round
coming up after three point fifty and when we return
after Michael's news, you get the feeling that the world
has gotten more stupid, that people are more stupid, less educated,
(17:25):
can't do basics, well that whole you see San Diego
story about how so many incoming freshmen can't even do
middle school math, they do math at the fifth grade
level or worse. Wall Street Journal did an analysis of it,
and you're right.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
I'm right.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
People are coming out of college with degrees and they're
more stupid and they know less.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
And I'll give you the proof when we come back.
Speaker 5 (17:53):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.

If you want to subscribe, to our YouTube channel. You

YouTube dot com slash at John cobelt Show, and we're
putting longer form videos on And if you want to
follow us on any of the other social media platforms,
it's at John coblt Radio. Slightly different. Okay, you probably
(18:20):
heard within the last week or two there was a
big story out of You See San Diego that one
in eight freshmen admitted to You See san Diego lacks
basic high school math skills and one out of twelve
lack even middle school math skills. The number of You
(18:46):
See San Diego freshmen that have deficient math skills is
thirty times higher than it was in twenty twenty. Let
that sync in thirty times higher than before the pandemic.
(19:06):
You're closing the schools was a real smart Gavine some idea,
it's making a whole generation as stupid as he is.
And even though what out of eight or below high
school level in math skills and what out of twelve
or below middle school level? The average high school math
(19:26):
GPA was a minus for students taking a middle school
or medial course. So these students showed up UC San
Diego didn't know high school math, didn't know middle school math,
had to take a remedial course. And somebody looked at well,
what was their high school GPA for math?
Speaker 2 (19:47):
It was an A minus. So a high school game
in a minus.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
They get to college, it's like, wow, you're at a
You're at a fifth grade level or worse. Okay, how
did this happen? Why are they getting stupider? It's not
only Newsome closing the schools. Oh, by the way, Over
Newsom's time in office, they've increased the education budget by
forty billion dollars forty billion, So it's not money either,
(20:18):
that's not the issue.
Speaker 14 (20:20):
Now.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
You see, San Diego is a highly rated school US
News and World Report. If you trust that, and there
are reasons not to said, it is the number six
public university in the nation.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
Number six.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
All right, So I told you about the lack of
math skills for the incoming freshman class. And because so
many incoming students were and it's described as being numerically illiterate.
I've also seen them use the word enumerate that means
you can't do math. So you see San Diego added
(20:56):
that remedial class Now, among the students who had to
take remedial, middle and elementary school math, ninety four percent
had completed an advanced math class in high school. They
had taken pre calculus or calculus or statistics. They had
(21:19):
and on average they got an A minus in those courses.
So follow this, you have these kids, they took advanced
math in high school up to calculus, they got an
A minus for it. They go to UC San Diego
and they're at a pre fifth grade level. What's going on, Well,
(21:46):
one thing is the UC Board of Regents. Back in
twenty twenty, in the name of equity, which is a
curse word, they got rid of the standardized tests because
black and Hispanic students were scoring lower on average on
the SAT and the schools didn't want to grade everybody
(22:12):
with an SAT number. And then critics would find out
that they were letting in people.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Who had low scores.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
Because remember in nineteen ninety six we passed a referendum
no racial preferences. Well, if you're letting in black and
Hispanic kids with low scores, then you're going to be
accused of racial preferences. So the solution is, don't give
tests to anybody. Then nobody can track why the kids
were let in. Okay, they wanted to boost diversity and
(22:55):
overall enrollment. They get more government student aid, so they
started increasing the number of unqualified applicants from low income schools.
And I guess these are a lot of the kids
who can't do middle or high school math. You see,
San Diego claimed, in order to holistically admit a diverse
(23:18):
and representative class, we need to admit students who may
be at a higher risk of not succeeding.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
They actually admitted this.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
To now, whenever you see the word holistically from anybody
in government, you know they're full of crap. That's a
code word for I'm full of it. And a diverse
and representative class. No, it's supposed to be a class
of people who are capable of doing at least high
(23:49):
school math. This explains what's going on here now. Wall
Street Journal points out that so the students who come
in and they don't know middle school math and they
don't know high school math, and they were given a's
and they don't have to take SAT anymore, Well, those
(24:11):
kids really struggle in college. They take longer to complete degrees,
so they end up they end up in greater debt.
They have to keep taking out loans as they're going
to school in year five and year six, and of course,
you see San Diego makes more money guaranteed by the government.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
See how the scam works.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
We'll let you in and then you sit there for
four or five six years spinning your wheels. He really
don't have the capacity to do this.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Kind of work.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
Hardly any students who take remedial math ever get an
engineering degree.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
How about that is tiny.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
In fact, it may be nobody. They don't know for sure,
but they say few, if any students, if they're taking
remedial math, they're not going to stick around and get
an engineering degree. So it's a scam on the part
of U. See San Diego to builk money with these
government back loans out of the students. Students don't get
(25:22):
their degree, at least they don't get a degree, and
they feel that they went in and now they have
a lot of debt that they're going to carry around
for decades. The university's admissions program places a heavy emphasis
on high school GPAs, but they're not reliable because the
grades are inflated. Some students are cheating their way to
(25:44):
high grades. Smartphones and AI make it easier to cheat,
and scores on AP tests are less dependable. Because the
college Board made the exams easier, they wanted more students
to take them so they could make more money. College
board makes more money. You see San Diego makes more money.
You get fake scores, you end up in debt as
(26:06):
a student and no degree. The share of students passing
AP exams has soared over the last two decades. Sword
the share of students passing calculus. It's up six points,
English language up eighteen, Chemistry up twenty one, US history
(26:30):
up twenty three. Except you, if you actually test them
for competency, they do terribly. It's fake tests, it's fake scores.
The high schools have failed because across the country only
(26:55):
twenty two of twelfth graders are proficient in math according
to the National Assessment of Educational Progress. The College Board
is dumped down the SAT test to get more students
to take it. The SAT only takes two hours instead
(27:15):
of three. Students get more time to complete each question.
They don't have long reading passages anymore because students have
TikTok attention spans. This is all written up by Alyssa
Finley in the Wall Street Journal. So that's how you
get all those students at UC San Diego, the number
(27:36):
six school among public universities, who can't do high school math,
they can't do middle school math, but boy, they racked
up a lot of a's in school. It's all scam.
Everything is a racket. Now we have another round of
the Moistline coming up.
Speaker 5 (27:53):
You're listening to John Cobelts on demand from KFI Am
six forty.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
We'll do the Moist Line in just a minute. Did
you hear about the Harvard Law school professor who the
Trump administration has deported because he was found outside a
synagogue in the Boston area firing a pellet rifle in
the air and when police showed up, he told them
(28:20):
he was hunting rats, hunting rats next to a synagogue.
Of course, Harvard had hired him. His name was Carlos
Portugal Govilla, and Ice arrested him and he's agreed to
return to Brazil to avoid official deportation. He's a visiting
(28:41):
law professor at Harvard and he was on a j
one temporary visa which got revoked.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
He fired two shots into the air.
Speaker 3 (28:51):
He was confronted by the synagogue's private security, there was
a struggle. He fled inside his home, which is near
the city to goog and when confronted finally by the cops,
he said he was using a pellet gun to hunt rats.
We just happened to be outside the synagogue and they
(29:11):
discovered one of the shots that had shattered a local
a nearby car window. Why so many professors, you're insane.
Let's do the moistline eight seven seven moist eighty six.
If you want to be on next week, Let's go
round two here.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
Hey, seug, thanks.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
For calling the moistline.
Speaker 8 (29:31):
I'm so excited to hear from you. It's about time.
Speaker 17 (29:35):
This is Leslie and Manchacu Kamunga and I've lived here
for over twenty years, seeing a lot fewer Teklas now
and more and more of those Ribbean SUVs. Kind of crazy,
but they're totally electric and the batteries in the back
and the trunk is under the hood, and it's totally weird.
Speaker 14 (29:53):
The protesters demanding ice free zones, well I can think
of one ice free zone.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
Right off the top of my head in Mexico.
Speaker 11 (30:00):
Woo John. I just looked up I guess, buddy, where
I'm going to in a few weeks. Norman, Oklahoma, gasoline
is a dollar ninety.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
Nine, a dollar ninety nine, and.
Speaker 11 (30:15):
It finally dropped down to four dollars and nine cents
here in Seemi Valley.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
OI. We are getting screwed. Okay.
Speaker 18 (30:24):
All they would have to do is claim that they're
still scared of COVID, and they could wear the masks,
because you know the mandate that they pushed on us,
wear the mask, wear the mask. Now they're saying no mask.
Speaker 13 (30:41):
The federal government warned people. The federal government warned people
that since the state and city is sanctuary and they
can't obtain the people they want coming out of jail
and so forth, that they have to go out into
the citizen rate, and if they run across somebody, that's
all they will arrest them too.
Speaker 19 (31:02):
There's a cost associated with the building permits. You know,
you got to pay those inspectors and plan readers who
wouldn't know it properly dug trench from the hole on
their backside. They're not cheap.
Speaker 8 (31:16):
Hey, you guys need to quit referring to our fearless
leaders in Sacramento as communists and socialists. They're not, they're fascists.
Fascism is defined as a system of government in which
the state controls all significant aspects of it's citizens lives.
Speaker 14 (31:33):
I don't understand why they're making a big deal about
Minnesota and mis managing all the funds, and.
Speaker 13 (31:39):
That's been going on in California longer and for a
lot more money.
Speaker 10 (31:43):
Okay, they can't get the nine to one one system working,
but they have a new.
Speaker 6 (31:49):
Portal to snitch on ICE.
Speaker 4 (31:52):
Oh my god, how come they can get that up
and running so quickly but they can't do the other
This case is so backwards.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
John, you said that elon Omar either was naive and
didn't know about the money, or she didn't care. I
think there's a third possibility, and she's probably got a
pretty decent save to account.
Speaker 9 (32:14):
Now, how in the hell is this insurance commissioner.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
Not in jail using all of our money?
Speaker 2 (32:22):
This guy belongs in jail. Put him there.
Speaker 12 (32:26):
I'm just wondering why we can't have some kind of
line set up to report people that are illegally here.
If BONTA can set up a line to report ICE
agents doing their job.
Speaker 8 (32:40):
Thank you for leaving your message, Please hang up goodbye.
Speaker 3 (32:44):
Because you're all good questions, We'll be back on Monday
to further try to answer them. We got Conways next,
and Michael Kerser has the news Wive in the canf
I twenty four hour Newsroom. Hey, you've been listening to
the John Cobalt Show podcast. You can hear the show
live on KFI AM six forty from one to four

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
