Speaker 1 (00:00):
Can't.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
I am six forty.
Speaker 1 (00:02):
You're listening to the John Coblt podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
We are on every day from one until four o'clock
and every day. If you miss something, you go to
the iHeartRadio app for John Coblt on demand.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
It's the podcast.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
It's the same as the radio show gets posted after
four o'clock and whatever you miss you can catch up
on and you can access that anytime this weekend, anytime
at all. Actually, you can always find our past shows
online on the iHeart app. We got two ends of
the Moistline coming up three twenty three point fifty, so
you want to be there for that. The the new
(00:40):
year is not going to start for what another almost
three weeks, and it's already going badly because in February,
here's something to look forward to. This is going to
lead to a meat orgy. This is going to lead
to the tongue bathing of all time, The world's largest
(01:02):
tongue bath is when journalists start covering Gavin Newsom's new memoir.
He has some kind of biography coming out that he's written,
and there was there's promotional videos out and apparently he's
going to reveal all his sensitive, vulnerable, traumatic episodes that
(01:27):
he's lived through, as if any of this is true
now he is a compulsive, pathological, psychopathic liar. I don't
know if I'm being redundant there, but I just want
to make the point that he compulsively lies and nothing
bothers him whatever situation he's in. He when he's when
(01:51):
he's pressed, he just makes up a whopper and it's
fascinating help people buy into it because of his looks.
I know somebody the other day who was standing in
the line trying to get into an event, and a couple,
a little older couple, was talking to them and they
started bringing up politics. And this couple said, oh, we
(02:15):
just love Gavin Newsom. He's a great governor and we
think he's going to make a great president. And person
I knew, said, why do you think that? Well, we
saw him speak. You know he speaks very well. Yes, yes,
he speaks very well, and so he's going to make
a wonderful print.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
And I said, well, what else did they? They didn't
say anything else. That was it. He speaks well.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Anyway, sometime in February, this stupid thing is going to
come out and he has a co writer. First I
heard of this. It's like, he didn't write this. He
can't write. He's got an IQ of about ninety three.
Literally he does. And it was that SAT scores where
(03:00):
it was nine to sixty, which is below average. I
don't think he's got any writing skills. But shockingly, the
co writer, and I know you're not going to believe this,
so you grab the sides of your chair is a
former Los Angeles Times reporter. Well, of course, you know,
if the Time still had a newsroom, which I don't
(03:21):
think it has. I think, well, mostly it's community college
dropouts who are writing for the paper, and I think
most of them write from their childhood bedroom because they're
all living with their parents because they're very young. You
got to look at the bios of the writers. They're
very young, and they hadn't been with The Times very long,
and they come from community colleges and internships at radio
(03:46):
stations out in the Inland Empire, and they probably get
paid almost nothing. In fact, with the minimum wage going
up to thirty bucks an hour for restaurants and hotels
for the Olympics, they probably would do better if they
got a hotel job cleaning toilets, but they work for
(04:06):
the La Times. But I think usually if there was
a newsroom and somebody like Newsom would walk in, Newsom
walks in and say, Hey, who wants to write my autobiography?
Everybody in the place would shoot up out of their chairs.
Me me, oh, Gavin over here, Me I'll write your biography.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
I'll do it. Oh, I love you, Gavin, and a
tongue bath would ensue.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Now, the tongue bath that's coming is going to be national,
maybe international, because all these progressive left wing pseudo journalists
are going to be slobbering all over this guy. So
he's trying to position this that, in fact, let me
let me read you the exact quote here, that this
(04:52):
is this is a He says this in his promotional video.
This is a story about a kid who always felt
like he wasn't quite enough. Oh, for God's sakes, this
is a truly vulnerable book. It was incredibly hard, even
painful to write.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
And he knows that.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Everybody thinks he's a rich snot because he is a
rich snot. Got a nine million dollar house, and he's
got all these wineries and restaurants and businesses. And he
claimed on a podcast recently that he grew up eating
(05:37):
macaroni and cheese and wonderbread, and everybody laughed at him.
But he's still trying to push this sort of because
he's going to tell what it was like to grow
up with a father whose job it was to manage
the trust of the Getty family. At some point the
(05:59):
trust was broken up into four parts years ago, and
his father engineered that deal, and then his dad took
over managing the trust for one of the four heirs.
And of course the Gettys were this just shockingly wealthy family.
(06:20):
It's oil money from J. Paul Getty and that's who
Lucim's dad was. But he's trying to claim he had
one foot in wealth and one foot in near poverty
because his mother didn't have much money. So I don't know,
dad like bolted on mom and left.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Her in ruins. Maybe we'll find it out.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Because it's so vulnerable and incredibly painful, But he's trained
keeps trying to sell this idea that he was a
poor kid. And if you've seen the photos of him
when he was in his early twenties, he hung out
with other very wealthy young young guys.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
San Francisco.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
They're royalty, really, And there's a photo of the four
of them back in I guess it would be the
nineteen eighties, all with their slick hair and slick suits
and just looking as obnoxious as hell. You look at
these four and you just want to punch them all
in the snout. And he's that guy, and now he's
got to try to pretend no, really, I came from wonderbread,
(07:22):
macaroni and cheese. So he does a promotional video and
he's trying to do this stick where he's going to
be self deprecating. He says in the video, people only
see a stark white shirt, blue suit, and yeah, the
gelled hair, and they think, oh, I know this guy.
And this is the story about a kid who always
felt like he wasn't quite enough. By the way, this
(07:44):
is his second second book, and this thing'll probably sell
because he's running for president and in the early polling
primarily because the name recognition, and he screams about Trump
every day. He's the top candidate. And then so listen
to this greasing. The La Times writes a promotional book
(08:06):
tour would offer a chance to meet with voters in
swing states and appear on a range of media platforms.
A memoir specifically allows the governor to reintroduce himself on
his own terms at a moment when national interest in
his political future is growing. Now, this is going to
be fun in February. We're going plenty of material for
the show because we're going to see how almost nobody
(08:29):
in the media is going to write about the excessive
taxation combined with a huge budget deficit, the worst homeless
situation in the state, the twenty four billion dollars in
homeless money that disappeared, the seventeen billion dollars for high
speed rail that's never been built, the thirty three billion
(08:50):
dollars that went out the joy during COVID. No one's
going to talk about how during for unemployment benefits. No
one's going to talk about how he ruined the childhoods
of millions of children by shutting down the school for
no reason for a year and a half, the crime
waves that we've suffered from, the illegal alien healthcare that
(09:15):
he gives out, which by the way, he's bragging about
do we have that clip? Do we have that clip
that I had rego get. We don't have to play
it now, but maybe. In the next segment, he did
an interview with The New York Times Ezra Cline, who
was a columnist there, and he actually bragged about giving
(09:37):
illegal aliens healthcare even though it costs US thirteen billion dollars.
And what else we got, We got the highest unemployment
rate in the state, highest inflation rate, highest housing costs,
highest rent costs, you name it. But the book is
(09:57):
going to give him a chance to introduce himsel off
on his terms.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
So we come back. I'll play the clik.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
By the way, the writer is former LA Times reporter
Mark Ares. Please pick me, pick me, I'll write your book.
I wonder if he's going to mention in the book
that one foot in wealth. Is he going to mention
that the Getty's bought ten of his first eleven businesses
(10:29):
were financed by the Getties ten of his first eleven Mister,
I'm a businessman, I'm an entrepreneur. I know what it's like.
Anybody else have ten businesses started up by the Getty family?
For you? I think we'll be reading this book the
entire month of February to you right here on the air.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
But we are on every day from one until four
o'clock and John Cobelt Show un demand.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
That's what you get in the iHeart apps to podcast.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Also, if you follow us on social media, it's at
John Cobelt Radio at John Cobelt Radio Newsom's got a
new book. He's got his life story coming out. He's
doing a memoir to be released in February. I said
it's his second book because he wrote a book in
twenty thirteen called Citizenville, How to take the town square
(11:27):
Digital and Reinvent Government. I'm sure nobody wrote that and
it was I'm sure all nonsense. He's been governor nowe
going on his eighth year, and nothing got reinvented. All
he did is blow huge amounts of money on nonsense
like illegal alien healthcare, which it's got to be one
(11:52):
of those eighty twenty issues, and he's running for president
on it, and you would think that would be one
of those things he would try to evade responsibility before
cover up ignore why about well, he went on a
(12:14):
New York Times podcast with a writer named Ezra Kline,
and he actually ragged about giving a legal aliens healthcare.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Listen to this.
Speaker 4 (12:25):
Is it released on DOC healthcare? Yeah, I'm proud of
that because I believe in universal health care. You know,
others may say it. I did it first state in
the country, regardless of pre existent edition's ability to pay,
and regardless of your immigration status. I promised that, I
promoted it, I ran three times on it. I did
it when I was mayor. People know who I am.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
He's bragging about what you called undoc play at beginning
again his shorthand term there can he.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
Is released on doc healthcare.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
Yeah, because I believe in you boy, that's a slick
way of fogging what it really is. It's a giveaway
of thirteen billion dollars if your tax money to people
who broke the law, came here illegally, and now they
get healthcare paid for birth to death. People in California
(13:15):
do not have universal health care. Illegal aliens have universal
health care. Last I looked, all the regular US citizens
have got to work in order to pay for health
care or to get it through their company or union.
(13:38):
Universal health care. He may be for that, but we
don't have that in California. It's been brought up many
times in the legislature, and it's always been voted down,
either officially or unofficially. A lot of times it never
gets to a vote because it doesn't have the support.
But he's bragging about giving universal health care to illegal
(14:00):
and by the way, since this is a sanctuary city
and a sanctuary state, that means all the criminals, all
the felons, I mean, the murders, the child.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Molesters, the rapists.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
You name it, they get illegal alien healthcare, which means,
you know, when the police have to shoot them in
some kind of criminal standoff, hey, well we'll gladly pay
for that. Now, is he going to run on that?
But what state does he win? Extra? Like beyond the
(14:41):
set of Democrat states that would you vote for a
dead raccoon. But he's going to need a few extra
because Kamala Harris was way behind it electoral votes. So
which of the swing states it's going to say, Yeah,
I want the guy who spent thirteen billion on illegal aliens,
including the criminals.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Where is that constituency?
Speaker 1 (15:06):
So he goes to the New York Times and you know,
he's got a chance, you know, to reintroduce himself and
reinvent himself. He's constantly on these media tours because he
wants everyone to know who he is. Thirteen And by
the way, we have an eighteen billion dollar deficit, so
you know, do the math on that. Over seventy percent
(15:26):
of the deficit is a legal alien healthcare. Not only
is he giving it away to people who broke the
law to come here, and many of them criminals separately
in their own right, he's also doing it with money
that doesn't exist. It's not even borrowed money. It's and
you know, California can't print the money. It's just money
(15:53):
that doesn't exist that they're going to have to cut
from some other department, steal from some other department. This
has got to be an eighty twenty issue. So he's
leading off his tour here tells The York Times. Play
(16:14):
that again. Listen to the smugness and the arrogance here.
How excited he is?
Speaker 4 (16:17):
Is it released on doc healthcare? Yeah, I'm proud of
that because I believe in univers health care. You know,
others may say it, I did it first state in
the country, regardless of pre existing editions, ability to pay,
and regardless of your immigration status. I promised that, I
promoted it I ran three times on it. I did
it when I was mayor. People know who I am.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Judge.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Do you think America is like the morons out of
San Francisco? This smug arrogant way I did it. I'm
proud of it, all right, go ahead, lead with that.
That should be good. That's what the country wants. Since
we're what thirty eight trillion dollars in debt, hey shovel
(17:00):
a few more trillion to give illegal aliens healthcare, something
that many Americans do not have. Most of us have
to work for it. That's that is just mind boggling.
But you know the hair, the hair and the jawline,
and he speaks well, and he presents himself where.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Well we come back there.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
There was a hearing yesterday with the Apartment of Homeland Security,
the Secretary of Christi Nome, and a couple of a
Democratic congress people got into an argument with Christine Nome.
And you talk about unhinged and just stupid. You're gonna
hear two comments by two congress people and you are not.
(17:53):
You're going to think that there's something wrong with your
radio or something wrong with your brain when you hear
what they said to Christino. That's next.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
You're listening to John Cobbels on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
We're on every day one until four after four o'clock.
John Cobelt Show on demand on the iHeart app Voiceline
on the three o'clock hour twice at three twenty and
three point fifty. All right, so we just play one
more thing about Newsom going on a New York Times
podcast where he was really proud about giving a legal
(18:30):
aliens healthcare. Like he's launching his campaign right he's talking
to The Times. He's on this podcast with Ezra Klein,
and early in February his book is going to come
out and he's going to be touring. So he's full
blown running for president. Play the clip again if you would.
Is it released on DOC healthcare. Yeah, I'm proud of
(18:50):
that because I believe in universal healthcare. You know, others
may say it.
Speaker 4 (18:54):
I did it first state in the country, regardless of
pre existing editions, abillity to pay, and regard of your
immigration status. I promised that, I promoted it, I ran
three times on it. I did it when I was mayor.
People know who I am.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
UNDOC healthcare, that's for illegal alien healthcare right undocumented you
get his dragon there, and all that was pre existing conditions,
free healthcare if you're an illegal alien and regardless of
your immigration status, all that.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
And I'm listening, I'm.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
Thinking, how many people in this country are for illegal
alien healthcare? Well, yeah, go to chat GPT, it'll tell you.
And there was a study, a survey done by the
Pew Research Center in twenty twenty three, and they asked
whether immigrants who are living in the US illegally should
(19:50):
be eligible for public assistance provided by state and local governments.
And I said, it's an eighty twenty issue, said immigrants
living in the US illegally should not be eligible for
this type of assistance. Twenty percent said they should be eligible,
(20:11):
So it is an eighty twenty issue. He picked the
twenty side on a hot button issue, right healthcare. Everybody's
pissed about healthcare. And he's given free healthcare, no question
to ask to all legal aliens, but regular American citizens
don't have that.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
That's a good issue to run on. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
Oh, and among Democrats, sixty four percent said they should
not be eligible. Sixty four percent of Democrats and ninety
three percent of Republicans, excellent issue to run on, be
proud of and beat your chest over. Well, we'll be
playing that clip a few times now onto the Department
(20:51):
of Homeland Security. Hearing before the before Congress in the
House was called the Worldwide Threats Hearing, and there were
two two two idiot congresspeople who really distinguished themselves with
absolutely inane comments. I mean, just think you smack yourself
(21:11):
in the head. We are talking, we're talking IQ levels
maybe in the mid sixties if I'm being generous. First
one is Democratic Mississippi Congressman Benny Thompson. You remember the
National guardswoman who got murdered basically by that whack job
(21:34):
in Washington, d C. Got shot in the head and
she died. And there's another one who's been in pretty
severe condition ever since. Well, listen to what Benny Thompson
said to Christino.
Speaker 5 (21:49):
There was this moment from Congressman Benny Thompson who described
the murder and attempted murder of two National Guards members
like this.
Speaker 6 (21:56):
Mount of secretary of you and the gentleman from ce
n CTC reference the unfortunate accident that occurred with the
National guardsman.
Speaker 5 (22:10):
Ko, you think that was an unfortunate accident.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
I mean it was a terrible Wait wait, look, I'll
get it straight.
Speaker 5 (22:16):
And then you can shot our National guardsman in the
head an unfortunate.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
An unfortunate accident, said Betty Thompson. A poor woman was
shot in the head and then died. She was shot
on purpose by this crazed gunman, an Afghan who had
been working with the US in Afghanistan during that stupid war.
(22:44):
Biden pulled everyone out and pulled some Afghan refugees with
the troops to come back to the country here. And
he was crazy, and he whipped himself up into some
terrible shows up in Washington, d C. And shoots this
(23:04):
National guards woman in the head and she dies, murdered,
cold blooded murder, execution. And Benny Thompson calls it an
unfortunate accident. But wait, there's more. Again, this is the
Worldwide Threats Hearing. We have a new Jersey Democratic congresswoman
(23:24):
named la Monica mc iver and she gets into it
with Christy. No, uh, listen to this.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
So I'll ask.
Speaker 7 (23:34):
You this is Trump embarrassed by your tenure or is
this exactly the kind of god awful leadership he wants
At DHS.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
Yes or no.
Speaker 5 (23:45):
Man, We've already conducted more oversight visits.
Speaker 7 (23:48):
No, no, no, It's a yes or no, yes or no. Okay,
this is my time to talk and not your time
to talk.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
Urge attention.
Speaker 7 (23:55):
I reclaim my time. I reclaim my times. I reclaim
my time. Parent are ilam my head? Secondary NOME, DHS
is breaking the law, hiding information from Congress and shutting
out oversight. So let me ask you, how can the
American people trust your department with you at the helm
with this kind of behavior.
Speaker 5 (24:16):
The American people absolutely trust this department to keep them safe,
and we are showing that every day by the support
we get across the country, the amount of people that
we're recruiting.
Speaker 7 (24:26):
To all thank you seconds, Evy Nome. Do you again
that you're the DHS resources the target members of Congress
is an abusive power?
Speaker 2 (24:34):
Excuse me?
Speaker 7 (24:35):
Would you say that you would have heard me if
you stop talking you listen to my question?
Speaker 2 (24:38):
Easy? Do you agree that.
Speaker 7 (24:40):
Using DHS resources to target members of Congress is an
abuse of power?
Speaker 5 (24:45):
We are not doing that. We are out there enforcing
the law, doing our work, and we are allowing over
the course.
Speaker 7 (24:50):
We're not going to get any with that shairman I
yield back.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
In New Jersey, people elected her le Monica McIvor.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
Wow, I hadn't heard of her before. That's a cartoon character,
that's that? Is that a real person? That's a real congresswoman.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
I don't know if you heard what Christine said at
one point because MacIver would shut up. Christinoms said, if
you would stop talking crazy and making stuff up. It's
it's like we're running into a crazy lady on the street,
(25:36):
just shouting and screaming and waving.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Her arms in the air. What the hell? This is
what Congress is?
Speaker 1 (25:44):
I guess you know, well, you know the mentally only
representation too, right, We have a lot of mental illness
in this country. Just look at everybody on the street.
They need a congresswoman as well.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
Yikes.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
When when we come back, a little follow up on
yesterday Roger Bailey's appearance on our show. He's the attorney
for thousands of Palisade residents who got burned out by
the fire. And I just wanted to run through some
stuff in Casey d near the show yesterday, And it's
really something that if you have one hour to seek
(26:20):
out over the weekend on the podcast you ought to
listen to because we are going to continue covering this
particular aspect of the fire story. And after two o'clock
we are going to have two professors on, Michael MChE
from USC and James Rector from UC Berkeley, and they're
(26:42):
going to tell us how LA is proposing to ban
oil and gas production.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
Again.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
This is while gas in California is at four point
fifty and the national average is two ninety four, and
it's two thirty six in Oklahoma, and it's a dollar
sixty nine in Denver, Colorado. But we should ban oil
and gas production here in Los Angeles.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
That's next.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
You can subscribe to our YouTube channel at YouTube dot
com slash at Johncobeltshow YouTube dot com slash at John
Cobelt's Show, and you'll get a notification every time we
put on.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
We put up a long, longer form.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
Videos, full segments now yesterday, and you know, I sometimes,
you know, really big news breaks on the show, and
you know, I know people cycling it out. You know,
they might listen for twenty minutes a half an hour,
maybe they catch some of the podcasts, and then certain
(27:55):
stories happen and nobody else is covering it. And I
truly wish like everybody who regular listens to the show
can hear certain stories, all right, So I will repeat
some of them or reference them and then tell you
to go to the podcast. And I want to do
that here because this is something that you all ought
(28:16):
to know if you didn't hear it, and that is
We had Roger Bailey on yesterday from Well, he's an
attorney for the thousands of Palisade residents who got burned
out with fire, and they're doing depositions now in the
massive lawsuit against all levels of government. Just try to
(28:36):
talk in shorthand here, because there's a lot of moving
parts to this thing. And they're now opposing this week
employees for the State Parks Department.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
Because the original fire.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
Lackman fire on January first, and then the big Palisades
fire in January seventh, both started on state land. Knew
some lied and said, well, first he said it was
climate change, that's why we had the fire. No, it
was an arsonist. Then he said that it was on
federal land. No, it was to Pegas State Park, State
(29:13):
state Land, and then he claimed that, well, we didn't
know about it. Who won two three big lies? Is
that going to be in the book? Is that going
to be in the book? Is you also go to
write about how he was so distraught after getting pummeled
for a week after the fire that he drank a
whole bottle of tequila, like his friend said, Is that.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
Going to be in the book. This won't be in
the book.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
What Roger Bailey, the attorney, brought us yesterday and I'm
looking at the photocopy of the messages and you need
to know this. On Wednesday, January first, the day of
that first fire, two three in the morning, a parks
employee wrote to a woman named Christie, who's another Parks
employer employee. Hi, Christie, are you at the fire? And
(30:02):
CHRISTI wrote, I will be. I'm getting ready now. The
first employee wrote back, there is federally endangered Astra Gallas
along Temescal Fire Road. Would be nice to avoid cutting
it if possible. Do you have avoidance maps? I have
a couple of resource advisories on standby. I will wait
(30:26):
to deploy them until you get unseen and assess the situation.
Definitely will want to send them down if heavy equipment arrives.
And Christie right back. CHRISTI wrote back, Okay, I'll let
you know now you probably don't understand what that means.
Astro Gallas is the milkvetch plant. And these state park
(30:48):
employees were afraid that the milkvetch plant was going to
be trampled by the LA Fire Department and destroyed by
bulldozers to cut a fire line, so they didn't cut
the fire line. They didn't put out the smoldering remains
of the fire, you know, the hot rocks and tree stumps.
(31:09):
The smoke coming from the tree stumps and from the
ground wasn't put out, and they couldn't put it out.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
Remember, firefighters had to roll up their hoses, they had
had to leave.
Speaker 1 (31:23):
The state parks employees kicked them out, bullied them out
because they didn't want the milk vetch plant being trampled
either by the firefighters or be destroyed by the bulldozers.
And I asked Roger Bailey, well, had they cut the fire,
had they cut the fire line there and put out
(31:50):
the hotspot, Pacific Palisades would not have burned, right, And
he said, yeah, Pacific Palisades would not have burned had
they tamped out the rest of the fire the hotspot,
and had they created the fire break. So it came
(32:11):
down to the milk vetch plant. I remember reading about
the milk fitch plant a few weeks after the fire happened,
because the Ally Times had a story and it was
from a slightly different angle that there was no fire
road for the fire trucks because they weren't allowed to
pave a fire road up in the hills near the
(32:32):
Palisades because again, they didn't want to destroy the milk
vetch plants. You know, you got to bulldoze a path
and then lay down asphalt by by milk vetch plants.
And then again the reason they didn't create a fire
break and they didn't have the firefighters put out the
hotspot the milk vetch plants. And I know you're probably
(32:57):
thinking that I'm kidding, I'm engaged in hyperbole. Maybe I'm
mentally ill and lost my mind. No, that's the truth.
If you want to hear it, it's on the podcast
the two o'clock hour yesterday.
Speaker 2 (33:13):
It would be our number two in your program and
you could listen to it.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
This weekend and then play it back and listen to
it again, and that is really the truth. The Palisades
burned to the ground because the state parks employees wouldn't
let the fire department finish the job of putting out
the original fire. All right, when we come back, we're
going to have more insanity here. We're going to have
(33:38):
two professors on Michael Michef from USC James Rector from
UC Berkeley, and la is proposing to ban oil and
gas production again. And they think that is a very
bad idea. They're going to explain why, and I'll give
you the latest gas prices around the country compared to
(33:58):
what we're paying here. Hey, you've been listening to the
John Cobalt Show podcast. You can always hear the show
live on KFI AM six forty from one to four
pm every Monday through Friday, and of course, anytime on
demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Can't.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
I am six forty.
Speaker 1 (00:02):
You're listening to the John Coblt podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
We are on every day from one until four o'clock
and every day. If you miss something, you go to
the iHeartRadio app for John Coblt on demand.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
It's the podcast.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
It's the same as the radio show gets posted after
four o'clock and whatever you miss you can catch up
on and you can access that anytime this weekend, anytime
at all. Actually, you can always find our past shows
online on the iHeart app. We got two ends of
the Moistline coming up three twenty three point fifty, so
you want to be there for that. The the new
(00:40):
year is not going to start for what another almost
three weeks, and it's already going badly because in February,
here's something to look forward to. This is going to
lead to a meat orgy. This is going to lead
to the tongue bathing of all time, The world's largest
(01:02):
tongue bath is when journalists start covering Gavin Newsom's new memoir.
He has some kind of biography coming out that he's written,
and there was there's promotional videos out and apparently he's
going to reveal all his sensitive, vulnerable, traumatic episodes that
(01:27):
he's lived through, as if any of this is true
now he is a compulsive, pathological, psychopathic liar. I don't
know if I'm being redundant there, but I just want
to make the point that he compulsively lies and nothing
bothers him whatever situation he's in. He when he's when
(01:51):
he's pressed, he just makes up a whopper and it's
fascinating help people buy into it because of his looks.
I know somebody the other day who was standing in
the line trying to get into an event, and a couple,
a little older couple, was talking to them and they
started bringing up politics. And this couple said, oh, we
(02:15):
just love Gavin Newsom. He's a great governor and we
think he's going to make a great president. And person
I knew, said, why do you think that? Well, we
saw him speak. You know he speaks very well. Yes, yes,
he speaks very well, and so he's going to make
a wonderful print.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
And I said, well, what else did they? They didn't
say anything else. That was it. He speaks well.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Anyway, sometime in February, this stupid thing is going to
come out and he has a co writer. First I
heard of this. It's like, he didn't write this. He
can't write. He's got an IQ of about ninety three.
Literally he does. And it was that SAT scores where
(03:00):
it was nine to sixty, which is below average. I
don't think he's got any writing skills. But shockingly, the
co writer, and I know you're not going to believe this,
so you grab the sides of your chair is a
former Los Angeles Times reporter. Well, of course, you know,
if the Time still had a newsroom, which I don't
(03:21):
think it has. I think, well, mostly it's community college
dropouts who are writing for the paper, and I think
most of them write from their childhood bedroom because they're
all living with their parents because they're very young. You
got to look at the bios of the writers. They're
very young, and they hadn't been with The Times very long,
and they come from community colleges and internships at radio
(03:46):
stations out in the Inland Empire, and they probably get
paid almost nothing. In fact, with the minimum wage going
up to thirty bucks an hour for restaurants and hotels
for the Olympics, they probably would do better if they
got a hotel job cleaning toilets, but they work for
(04:06):
the La Times. But I think usually if there was
a newsroom and somebody like Newsom would walk in, Newsom
walks in and say, Hey, who wants to write my autobiography?
Everybody in the place would shoot up out of their chairs.
Me me, oh, Gavin over here, Me I'll write your biography.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
I'll do it. Oh, I love you, Gavin, and a
tongue bath would ensue.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Now, the tongue bath that's coming is going to be national,
maybe international, because all these progressive left wing pseudo journalists
are going to be slobbering all over this guy. So
he's trying to position this that, in fact, let me
let me read you the exact quote here, that this
(04:52):
is this is a He says this in his promotional video.
This is a story about a kid who always felt
like he wasn't quite enough. Oh, for God's sakes, this
is a truly vulnerable book. It was incredibly hard, even
painful to write.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
And he knows that.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Everybody thinks he's a rich snot because he is a
rich snot. Got a nine million dollar house, and he's
got all these wineries and restaurants and businesses. And he
claimed on a podcast recently that he grew up eating
(05:37):
macaroni and cheese and wonderbread, and everybody laughed at him.
But he's still trying to push this sort of because
he's going to tell what it was like to grow
up with a father whose job it was to manage
the trust of the Getty family. At some point the
(05:59):
trust was broken up into four parts years ago, and
his father engineered that deal, and then his dad took
over managing the trust for one of the four heirs.
And of course the Gettys were this just shockingly wealthy family.
(06:20):
It's oil money from J. Paul Getty and that's who
Lucim's dad was. But he's trying to claim he had
one foot in wealth and one foot in near poverty
because his mother didn't have much money. So I don't know,
dad like bolted on mom and left.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Her in ruins. Maybe we'll find it out.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Because it's so vulnerable and incredibly painful, But he's trained
keeps trying to sell this idea that he was a
poor kid. And if you've seen the photos of him
when he was in his early twenties, he hung out
with other very wealthy young young guys.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
San Francisco.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
They're royalty, really, And there's a photo of the four
of them back in I guess it would be the
nineteen eighties, all with their slick hair and slick suits
and just looking as obnoxious as hell. You look at
these four and you just want to punch them all
in the snout. And he's that guy, and now he's
got to try to pretend no, really, I came from wonderbread,
(07:22):
macaroni and cheese. So he does a promotional video and
he's trying to do this stick where he's going to
be self deprecating. He says in the video, people only
see a stark white shirt, blue suit, and yeah, the
gelled hair, and they think, oh, I know this guy.
And this is the story about a kid who always
felt like he wasn't quite enough. By the way, this
(07:44):
is his second second book, and this thing'll probably sell
because he's running for president and in the early polling
primarily because the name recognition, and he screams about Trump
every day. He's the top candidate. And then so listen
to this greasing. The La Times writes a promotional book
(08:06):
tour would offer a chance to meet with voters in
swing states and appear on a range of media platforms.
A memoir specifically allows the governor to reintroduce himself on
his own terms at a moment when national interest in
his political future is growing. Now, this is going to
be fun in February. We're going plenty of material for
the show because we're going to see how almost nobody
(08:29):
in the media is going to write about the excessive
taxation combined with a huge budget deficit, the worst homeless
situation in the state, the twenty four billion dollars in
homeless money that disappeared, the seventeen billion dollars for high
speed rail that's never been built, the thirty three billion
(08:50):
dollars that went out the joy during COVID. No one's
going to talk about how during for unemployment benefits. No
one's going to talk about how he ruined the childhoods
of millions of children by shutting down the school for
no reason for a year and a half, the crime
waves that we've suffered from, the illegal alien healthcare that
(09:15):
he gives out, which by the way, he's bragging about
do we have that clip? Do we have that clip
that I had rego get. We don't have to play
it now, but maybe. In the next segment, he did
an interview with The New York Times Ezra Cline, who
was a columnist there, and he actually bragged about giving
(09:37):
illegal aliens healthcare even though it costs US thirteen billion dollars.
And what else we got, We got the highest unemployment
rate in the state, highest inflation rate, highest housing costs,
highest rent costs, you name it. But the book is
(09:57):
going to give him a chance to introduce himsel off
on his terms.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
So we come back. I'll play the clik.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
By the way, the writer is former LA Times reporter
Mark Ares. Please pick me, pick me, I'll write your book.
I wonder if he's going to mention in the book
that one foot in wealth. Is he going to mention
that the Getty's bought ten of his first eleven businesses
(10:29):
were financed by the Getties ten of his first eleven Mister,
I'm a businessman, I'm an entrepreneur. I know what it's like.
Anybody else have ten businesses started up by the Getty family?
For you? I think we'll be reading this book the
entire month of February to you right here on the air.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
But we are on every day from one until four
o'clock and John Cobelt Show un demand.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
That's what you get in the iHeart apps to podcast.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Also, if you follow us on social media, it's at
John Cobelt Radio at John Cobelt Radio Newsom's got a
new book. He's got his life story coming out. He's
doing a memoir to be released in February. I said
it's his second book because he wrote a book in
twenty thirteen called Citizenville, How to take the town square
(11:27):
Digital and Reinvent Government. I'm sure nobody wrote that and
it was I'm sure all nonsense. He's been governor nowe
going on his eighth year, and nothing got reinvented. All
he did is blow huge amounts of money on nonsense
like illegal alien healthcare, which it's got to be one
(11:52):
of those eighty twenty issues, and he's running for president
on it, and you would think that would be one
of those things he would try to evade responsibility before
cover up ignore why about well, he went on a
(12:14):
New York Times podcast with a writer named Ezra Kline,
and he actually ragged about giving a legal aliens healthcare.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Listen to this.
Speaker 4 (12:25):
Is it released on DOC healthcare? Yeah, I'm proud of
that because I believe in universal health care. You know,
others may say it. I did it first state in
the country, regardless of pre existent edition's ability to pay,
and regardless of your immigration status. I promised that, I
promoted it, I ran three times on it. I did
it when I was mayor. People know who I am.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
He's bragging about what you called undoc play at beginning
again his shorthand term there can he.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
Is released on doc healthcare.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
Yeah, because I believe in you boy, that's a slick
way of fogging what it really is. It's a giveaway
of thirteen billion dollars if your tax money to people
who broke the law, came here illegally, and now they
get healthcare paid for birth to death. People in California
(13:15):
do not have universal health care. Illegal aliens have universal
health care. Last I looked, all the regular US citizens
have got to work in order to pay for health
care or to get it through their company or union.
(13:38):
Universal health care. He may be for that, but we
don't have that in California. It's been brought up many
times in the legislature, and it's always been voted down,
either officially or unofficially. A lot of times it never
gets to a vote because it doesn't have the support.
But he's bragging about giving universal health care to illegal
(14:00):
and by the way, since this is a sanctuary city
and a sanctuary state, that means all the criminals, all
the felons, I mean, the murders, the child.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Molesters, the rapists.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
You name it, they get illegal alien healthcare, which means,
you know, when the police have to shoot them in
some kind of criminal standoff, hey, well we'll gladly pay
for that. Now, is he going to run on that?
But what state does he win? Extra? Like beyond the
(14:41):
set of Democrat states that would you vote for a
dead raccoon. But he's going to need a few extra
because Kamala Harris was way behind it electoral votes. So
which of the swing states it's going to say, Yeah,
I want the guy who spent thirteen billion on illegal aliens,
including the criminals.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Where is that constituency?
Speaker 1 (15:06):
So he goes to the New York Times and you know,
he's got a chance, you know, to reintroduce himself and
reinvent himself. He's constantly on these media tours because he
wants everyone to know who he is. Thirteen And by
the way, we have an eighteen billion dollar deficit, so
you know, do the math on that. Over seventy percent
(15:26):
of the deficit is a legal alien healthcare. Not only
is he giving it away to people who broke the
law to come here, and many of them criminals separately
in their own right, he's also doing it with money
that doesn't exist. It's not even borrowed money. It's and
you know, California can't print the money. It's just money
(15:53):
that doesn't exist that they're going to have to cut
from some other department, steal from some other department. This
has got to be an eighty twenty issue. So he's
leading off his tour here tells The York Times. Play
(16:14):
that again. Listen to the smugness and the arrogance here.
How excited he is?
Speaker 4 (16:17):
Is it released on doc healthcare? Yeah, I'm proud of
that because I believe in univers health care. You know,
others may say it, I did it first state in
the country, regardless of pre existing editions, ability to pay,
and regardless of your immigration status. I promised that, I
promoted it I ran three times on it. I did
it when I was mayor. People know who I am.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Judge.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Do you think America is like the morons out of
San Francisco? This smug arrogant way I did it. I'm
proud of it, all right, go ahead, lead with that.
That should be good. That's what the country wants. Since
we're what thirty eight trillion dollars in debt, hey shovel
(17:00):
a few more trillion to give illegal aliens healthcare, something
that many Americans do not have. Most of us have
to work for it. That's that is just mind boggling.
But you know the hair, the hair and the jawline,
and he speaks well, and he presents himself where.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Well we come back there.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
There was a hearing yesterday with the Apartment of Homeland Security,
the Secretary of Christi Nome, and a couple of a
Democratic congress people got into an argument with Christine Nome.
And you talk about unhinged and just stupid. You're gonna
hear two comments by two congress people and you are not.
(17:53):
You're going to think that there's something wrong with your
radio or something wrong with your brain when you hear
what they said to Christino. That's next.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
You're listening to John Cobbels on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
We're on every day one until four after four o'clock.
John Cobelt Show on demand on the iHeart app Voiceline
on the three o'clock hour twice at three twenty and
three point fifty. All right, so we just play one
more thing about Newsom going on a New York Times
podcast where he was really proud about giving a legal
(18:30):
aliens healthcare. Like he's launching his campaign right he's talking
to The Times. He's on this podcast with Ezra Klein,
and early in February his book is going to come
out and he's going to be touring. So he's full
blown running for president. Play the clip again if you would.
Is it released on DOC healthcare. Yeah, I'm proud of
(18:50):
that because I believe in universal healthcare. You know, others
may say it.
Speaker 4 (18:54):
I did it first state in the country, regardless of
pre existing editions, abillity to pay, and regard of your
immigration status. I promised that, I promoted it, I ran
three times on it. I did it when I was mayor.
People know who I am.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
UNDOC healthcare, that's for illegal alien healthcare right undocumented you
get his dragon there, and all that was pre existing conditions,
free healthcare if you're an illegal alien and regardless of
your immigration status, all that.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
And I'm listening, I'm.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
Thinking, how many people in this country are for illegal
alien healthcare? Well, yeah, go to chat GPT, it'll tell you.
And there was a study, a survey done by the
Pew Research Center in twenty twenty three, and they asked
whether immigrants who are living in the US illegally should
(19:50):
be eligible for public assistance provided by state and local governments.
And I said, it's an eighty twenty issue, said immigrants
living in the US illegally should not be eligible for
this type of assistance. Twenty percent said they should be eligible,
(20:11):
So it is an eighty twenty issue. He picked the
twenty side on a hot button issue, right healthcare. Everybody's
pissed about healthcare. And he's given free healthcare, no question
to ask to all legal aliens, but regular American citizens
don't have that.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
That's a good issue to run on. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
Oh, and among Democrats, sixty four percent said they should
not be eligible. Sixty four percent of Democrats and ninety
three percent of Republicans, excellent issue to run on, be
proud of and beat your chest over. Well, we'll be
playing that clip a few times now onto the Department
(20:51):
of Homeland Security. Hearing before the before Congress in the
House was called the Worldwide Threats Hearing, and there were
two two two idiot congresspeople who really distinguished themselves with
absolutely inane comments. I mean, just think you smack yourself
(21:11):
in the head. We are talking, we're talking IQ levels
maybe in the mid sixties if I'm being generous. First
one is Democratic Mississippi Congressman Benny Thompson. You remember the
National guardswoman who got murdered basically by that whack job
(21:34):
in Washington, d C. Got shot in the head and
she died. And there's another one who's been in pretty
severe condition ever since. Well, listen to what Benny Thompson
said to Christino.
Speaker 5 (21:49):
There was this moment from Congressman Benny Thompson who described
the murder and attempted murder of two National Guards members
like this.
Speaker 6 (21:56):
Mount of secretary of you and the gentleman from ce
n CTC reference the unfortunate accident that occurred with the
National guardsman.
Speaker 5 (22:10):
Ko, you think that was an unfortunate accident.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
I mean it was a terrible Wait wait, look, I'll
get it straight.
Speaker 5 (22:16):
And then you can shot our National guardsman in the
head an unfortunate.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
An unfortunate accident, said Betty Thompson. A poor woman was
shot in the head and then died. She was shot
on purpose by this crazed gunman, an Afghan who had
been working with the US in Afghanistan during that stupid war.
(22:44):
Biden pulled everyone out and pulled some Afghan refugees with
the troops to come back to the country here. And
he was crazy, and he whipped himself up into some
terrible shows up in Washington, d C. And shoots this
(23:04):
National guards woman in the head and she dies, murdered,
cold blooded murder, execution. And Benny Thompson calls it an
unfortunate accident. But wait, there's more. Again, this is the
Worldwide Threats Hearing. We have a new Jersey Democratic congresswoman
(23:24):
named la Monica mc iver and she gets into it
with Christy. No, uh, listen to this.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
So I'll ask.
Speaker 7 (23:34):
You this is Trump embarrassed by your tenure or is
this exactly the kind of god awful leadership he wants
At DHS.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
Yes or no.
Speaker 5 (23:45):
Man, We've already conducted more oversight visits.
Speaker 7 (23:48):
No, no, no, It's a yes or no, yes or no. Okay,
this is my time to talk and not your time
to talk.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
Urge attention.
Speaker 7 (23:55):
I reclaim my time. I reclaim my times. I reclaim
my time. Parent are ilam my head? Secondary NOME, DHS
is breaking the law, hiding information from Congress and shutting
out oversight. So let me ask you, how can the
American people trust your department with you at the helm
with this kind of behavior.
Speaker 5 (24:16):
The American people absolutely trust this department to keep them safe,
and we are showing that every day by the support
we get across the country, the amount of people that
we're recruiting.
Speaker 7 (24:26):
To all thank you seconds, Evy Nome. Do you again
that you're the DHS resources the target members of Congress
is an abusive power?
Speaker 2 (24:34):
Excuse me?
Speaker 7 (24:35):
Would you say that you would have heard me if
you stop talking you listen to my question?
Speaker 2 (24:38):
Easy? Do you agree that.
Speaker 7 (24:40):
Using DHS resources to target members of Congress is an
abuse of power?
Speaker 5 (24:45):
We are not doing that. We are out there enforcing
the law, doing our work, and we are allowing over
the course.
Speaker 7 (24:50):
We're not going to get any with that shairman I
yield back.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
In New Jersey, people elected her le Monica McIvor.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
Wow, I hadn't heard of her before. That's a cartoon character,
that's that? Is that a real person? That's a real congresswoman.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
I don't know if you heard what Christine said at
one point because MacIver would shut up. Christinoms said, if
you would stop talking crazy and making stuff up. It's
it's like we're running into a crazy lady on the street,
(25:36):
just shouting and screaming and waving.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Her arms in the air. What the hell? This is
what Congress is?
Speaker 1 (25:44):
I guess you know, well, you know the mentally only
representation too, right, We have a lot of mental illness
in this country. Just look at everybody on the street.
They need a congresswoman as well.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
Yikes.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
When when we come back, a little follow up on
yesterday Roger Bailey's appearance on our show. He's the attorney
for thousands of Palisade residents who got burned out by
the fire. And I just wanted to run through some
stuff in Casey d near the show yesterday, And it's
really something that if you have one hour to seek
(26:20):
out over the weekend on the podcast you ought to
listen to because we are going to continue covering this
particular aspect of the fire story. And after two o'clock
we are going to have two professors on, Michael MChE
from USC and James Rector from UC Berkeley, and they're
(26:42):
going to tell us how LA is proposing to ban
oil and gas production.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
Again.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
This is while gas in California is at four point
fifty and the national average is two ninety four, and
it's two thirty six in Oklahoma, and it's a dollar
sixty nine in Denver, Colorado. But we should ban oil
and gas production here in Los Angeles.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
That's next.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM

Videos, full segments now yesterday, and you know, I sometimes,
you know, really big news breaks on the show, and
you know, I know people cycling it out. You know,
they might listen for twenty minutes a half an hour,
maybe they catch some of the podcasts, and then certain
(27:55):
stories happen and nobody else is covering it. And I
truly wish like everybody who regular listens to the show
can hear certain stories, all right, So I will repeat
some of them or reference them and then tell you
to go to the podcast. And I want to do
that here because this is something that you all ought
(28:16):
to know if you didn't hear it, and that is
We had Roger Bailey on yesterday from Well, he's an
attorney for the thousands of Palisade residents who got burned
out with fire, and they're doing depositions now in the
massive lawsuit against all levels of government. Just try to
(28:36):
talk in shorthand here, because there's a lot of moving
parts to this thing. And they're now opposing this week
employees for the State Parks Department.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
Because the original fire.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
Lackman fire on January first, and then the big Palisades
fire in January seventh, both started on state land. Knew
some lied and said, well, first he said it was
climate change, that's why we had the fire. No, it
was an arsonist. Then he said that it was on
federal land. No, it was to Pegas State Park, State
(29:13):
state Land, and then he claimed that, well, we didn't
know about it. Who won two three big lies? Is
that going to be in the book? Is that going
to be in the book? Is you also go to
write about how he was so distraught after getting pummeled
for a week after the fire that he drank a
whole bottle of tequila, like his friend said, Is that.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
Going to be in the book. This won't be in
the book.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
What Roger Bailey, the attorney, brought us yesterday and I'm
looking at the photocopy of the messages and you need
to know this. On Wednesday, January first, the day of
that first fire, two three in the morning, a parks
employee wrote to a woman named Christie, who's another Parks
employer employee. Hi, Christie, are you at the fire? And
(30:02):
CHRISTI wrote, I will be. I'm getting ready now. The
first employee wrote back, there is federally endangered Astra Gallas
along Temescal Fire Road. Would be nice to avoid cutting
it if possible. Do you have avoidance maps? I have
a couple of resource advisories on standby. I will wait
(30:26):
to deploy them until you get unseen and assess the situation.
Definitely will want to send them down if heavy equipment arrives.
And Christie right back. CHRISTI wrote back, Okay, I'll let
you know now you probably don't understand what that means.
Astro Gallas is the milkvetch plant. And these state park
(30:48):
employees were afraid that the milkvetch plant was going to
be trampled by the LA Fire Department and destroyed by
bulldozers to cut a fire line, so they didn't cut
the fire line. They didn't put out the smoldering remains
of the fire, you know, the hot rocks and tree stumps.
(31:09):
The smoke coming from the tree stumps and from the
ground wasn't put out, and they couldn't put it out.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
Remember, firefighters had to roll up their hoses, they had
had to leave.
Speaker 1 (31:23):
The state parks employees kicked them out, bullied them out
because they didn't want the milk vetch plant being trampled
either by the firefighters or be destroyed by the bulldozers.
And I asked Roger Bailey, well, had they cut the fire,
had they cut the fire line there and put out
(31:50):
the hotspot, Pacific Palisades would not have burned, right, And
he said, yeah, Pacific Palisades would not have burned had
they tamped out the rest of the fire the hotspot,
and had they created the fire break. So it came
(32:11):
down to the milk vetch plant. I remember reading about
the milk fitch plant a few weeks after the fire happened,
because the Ally Times had a story and it was
from a slightly different angle that there was no fire
road for the fire trucks because they weren't allowed to
pave a fire road up in the hills near the
(32:32):
Palisades because again, they didn't want to destroy the milk
vetch plants. You know, you got to bulldoze a path
and then lay down asphalt by by milk vetch plants.
And then again the reason they didn't create a fire
break and they didn't have the firefighters put out the
hotspot the milk vetch plants. And I know you're probably
(32:57):
thinking that I'm kidding, I'm engaged in hyperbole. Maybe I'm
mentally ill and lost my mind. No, that's the truth.
If you want to hear it, it's on the podcast
the two o'clock hour yesterday.
Speaker 2 (33:13):
It would be our number two in your program and
you could listen to it.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
This weekend and then play it back and listen to
it again, and that is really the truth. The Palisades
burned to the ground because the state parks employees wouldn't
let the fire department finish the job of putting out
the original fire. All right, when we come back, we're
going to have more insanity here. We're going to have
(33:38):
two professors on Michael Michef from USC James Rector from
UC Berkeley, and la is proposing to ban oil and
gas production again. And they think that is a very
bad idea. They're going to explain why, and I'll give
you the latest gas prices around the country compared to
(33:58):
what we're paying here. Hey, you've been listening to the
