Speaker 1 (00:00):
Can't find AM six forty. You're listening to the John
Cobel podcast on the iHeartRadio app. Well, this is an
amusing scene at LAX. Trump's plane is landed Air Force
one and Newsom is standing by himself at the bottom
of the stairs with his hands in his pockets and
looking forlornly in the air, waiting for Trump to come
(00:25):
down the staircase. But Trump's not coming out yet, and
Newsom has his hands in his pockets and he's looking
around like he's waiting for a cab. He doesn't seem
to know what to do. And I'm wondering if Trump
is going to leave him hanging there for a while.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Do you think Newsom is worried about that?
Speaker 3 (00:41):
That would be so embarrassing.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
It would Newsom is taking a big risk here, because
Trump has no problem with embarrassing him, and he could
let him stand out there for half an hour. He
could just blow by him and not even acknowledge him.
And there was just something about the way he was
standing so lonely. He looked very lonely. Yeah, I mean,
(01:08):
I gotta feel.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
A little bit sorry for And that would be so humiliating.
He is the governor of our state. Right, And as
you said, this is the biggest disaster to hit this area, right,
and the president's coming to tour the damage, and you know,
and you're worrying about being blown off.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Do you really have to feel bad for him?
Speaker 2 (01:26):
You know, I'm just saying I would be mortified, humiliated.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
I know that this is being broadcast nationally a Fox
House Fox. Yeah. Yeah, And if Trump does something disrespectful,
it's going to be played over into eternity. So if
I was de douces him, I wouldn't take that risk
because because Trump doesn't care, he doesn't go by the
normal protocols. You know, he's he's not worried about how
(01:55):
you're supposed to treat, you know, a fellow, a governor,
and a situation like this. If he's in a mood,
he'll just blow past them. And because he didn't, he
didn't want Newsom there at all.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
Oh wait, he's coming. He's coming out of Air Force one.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
It's got a a baseball cap on, no tie. He's
walking down with Milania. Do you think Mlania's clothing budget
is a month?
Speaker 3 (02:22):
I wish I had that.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
They're walking very slowly down and.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
Oh they're shaking hands. Oh, John, they're hugging.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Look at that. Well, a couple of pats on the
back by Trump and squeezes his left arm, and Newsom
is gesturing and patting Trump on the shoulder, and uh,
they're having an animated discussion with each other. Trump definitely
did the signature handhake where he pulled the guy in. Yeah,
(02:59):
I'm gonna John, Sorry, well I'm not No, I'm not
half a second behind here.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Oh okay.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
He reached and kissed me Wadia on the cheek. Oh
that's that's a little aggressive.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
It's nice.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Come on, you can't control himself. Oh, they're going to take.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
Questions, but it would be interesting to find out when
somebody asked a question.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Hey, it doesn't seem like Channel four his audio of it.
You could hear him faintly.
Speaker 5 (03:28):
We're going to be taking right here.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
I have some audio with several of the people from
the area. I appreciate the governor coming out and meeting me. Kevin,
we very much, and uh, we'll.
Speaker 6 (03:42):
Be talking about a bit. We want to get it picked,
we want to get.
Speaker 7 (03:44):
The problem fixed, and that'll be some ways.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
But it's like you got hit by a bob right,
like you got hit by a bob.
Speaker 8 (03:54):
What I just think, most importantly, thank you for being
here means a great deal to all of not just
the folks.
Speaker 9 (04:01):
At palisays the folks in Altadena that we're devastated.
Speaker 10 (04:05):
We're gonna need your support, We're gonna need your help.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
If you were there for us during COVID, I don't
forget that, and I have all the.
Speaker 10 (04:14):
Expectations that we'll be able to work together. We'll to
get the speedy recovered.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
So this is no fun you'd have done.
Speaker 11 (04:20):
Tremendous numbers of lives have been affected, a lot of
real estate has been affected.
Speaker 12 (04:25):
Nobody's ever probably seen anything like this.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
You can almost say it's the.
Speaker 13 (04:30):
Second World War when you think of it.
Speaker 14 (04:32):
I mean, nothing like this has happened.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
And we're gonna get it fixed.
Speaker 14 (04:36):
So we'll get it perpetently fixed.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
So it can't happen again and again.
Speaker 10 (04:40):
We'll be talking a little bit later and we're gonna
work out.
Speaker 6 (04:43):
Okay.
Speaker 14 (04:43):
I appreciate you, mister present.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Thank you, God, thank you, thank you. Going right. Trump
has a new hat. I'm sure he's going to be
selling these online. It's a blue hat with gold lettering.
Make America great again. And he's got embroidery on the
side that says forty five dash forty seven because he
was the forty fifth and forty seve I have not
seen that particular hat.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
I have not either, for he debuted it just for us.
Speaker 6 (05:04):
John.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Do you ever listen, like to the Fox News the
radio feed of the TV channel.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
I have not.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
They fill the commercials with all kinds of They fill
the commercial breaks with weird stuff, a lot of Trump commercials.
He's selling sneakers, he's selling gold watches.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
My husband was telling me that he heard it, and
we were telling somebody else and they thought my husband
was crazy.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
No, no, I've heard the commercials so many times I
could practically do him forbad him. He goes, Hi, this
is your favorite president. Well, I hope I'm your favorite president.
And I have these wonderful presidential sneakers here, I have
this wonderful presidential gold watch. And he goes into a
whole spiel selling the watch or selling the sneakers and
god knows what else. And I'm sure that hat is
(05:48):
going to be a big selling I'm sure.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Yeah, Well that that was a very.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Friendly Yes, that is yeah, very disappointing.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
I know you and Ray always want chaos. I get it.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
I get it, Eric too, I know. But look, honestly,
right now we need help.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Yes we do.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
So it's better that they're getting along. Forget the chaos
for a half a second, and let's just.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Get the chaos.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Forget the chaos, because look, if if Newsom gave Trump
the finger, what do you think I mean? You know,
then Trump's going to get back on Air Force one
and say, Okay, screw California, screw at Los Angeles.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Well, what the thing is. Trump has got to put
conditions on this money because because Newsome and Karen Bass
a lot of money has disappeared under them in recent years.
You can't just give them blank chinks and the whole
black blank checks. And I hope they do the right thing.
They do not handle money. Well, all right, we will
(06:45):
have the moistline coming up in just moments.
Speaker 15 (06:48):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
We were going to have Jake haganon UH. He's UH
with the State Guard. He was the commanding General of
the State Guard for several years. This was a special
firefighting unit part of Gavin Newsom's Office of Emergency Services,
but Newsom eliminated the one hundred and fifty member volunteer unit.
(07:20):
It was supposed to be dedicated to fighting wildfires and
Newsom got rid of it. And there's question whether they
could have helped out. And Jay Coggan was going to
talk about it, and we will have him do that.
On Monday, we got squeezed out because Trump landed and
came down. Air Force won the staircase and Gavin Newsom,
(07:41):
like a little puppy, was waiting for him at the
at the base of the stairs. Trump came down with
Milania and they had a very very friendly discussion thes
they did, and Newsom went in and went for the
gold with Milania there, stealing a kiss.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Well, you know, she's a very beautiful lady.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
He couldn't resist, you know what He's like?
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Yeah, well, I don't know, but I can imagine if.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
He met you, you'd know he can't. He can't control himself,
he can't resist. And so he went in for a
kiss there, which I just I just think that was wrong.
I just think you should have a.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Relationship with some weird shaking her hand.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Yeah, well, and feel weird. But don't you know she
doesn't want his lips on her face?
Speaker 3 (08:29):
Maybe she does. He's an attractive man, John.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Well, yeah, he probably is more attractive than Trump. But
you don't know where those lips have been. I don't know. God,
all right, let's uh, let's go to uh the moistline
here eight seven seven moist eighty six eight seven seven
moist steady six. Let's roll.
Speaker 13 (08:47):
Hey, it's Sean.
Speaker 14 (08:48):
Thanks for calling the moistline.
Speaker 5 (08:50):
I'm so excited to hear from you.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
To BAP time.
Speaker 13 (08:53):
What we need to do is take that one point
three billion dollars that we're spending on homelessness and put
it into the fire department. Let's double the size of
our fire department and we won't have a problem like
this anymore. And while we're at it, let's fire Newsom
and Bass.
Speaker 16 (09:10):
I just want to know, is anyone wondering why these
thick Bass and Newsom are smiling at every news conference
or interview cruly sick?
Speaker 13 (09:24):
That's wrong with these guys? Get rid of them.
Speaker 5 (09:26):
By this is your friend, George.
Speaker 17 (09:28):
I miss you guys, I miss my prisoners, and frois
my goblement.
Speaker 18 (09:33):
Should set up motor home park for all these people.
Speaker 17 (09:37):
After listening to about fifteen minutes of that Newsom town hall,
I'm going to bang my head so hard against Wall
I'm going to knock myself out for all you people
that voted for him in bass et cetera. Shame on you.
Speaker 9 (09:50):
He is nothing.
Speaker 17 (09:51):
He's just an empty suit. The guy is absolutely oblivious
to reality.
Speaker 6 (09:56):
Yeah, I'm listening to this town hall meeting with the governor.
All it is is what he thinks are the good
support he's doing. These are staged questions. When's someone going
to hold this dude accountable? This is bs Oh, I
am so offended.
Speaker 14 (10:13):
How dare you throw Dernie Canone's in the dumpster. I
have no clue what equity lens your dumpster crew is
looking through. But excuse me, she does not get judged
by anything. According to my equity lens.
Speaker 10 (10:27):
The border is now klump.
Speaker 13 (10:31):
Trump is now officially president.
Speaker 10 (10:33):
The border is now quote.
Speaker 13 (10:37):
He thinks Delta smelts it, Delta Delta, and this beast
stink to high heaven.
Speaker 7 (10:43):
You are out of your mind if you think the Bidens.
Speaker 6 (10:47):
Were worse than Trump.
Speaker 7 (10:49):
Trump is a grifter and the worst convicted criminal to
be president of the United States America is going down
this again, and you're in crazy.
Speaker 14 (11:02):
The measure of a good leader is not how well
they respond to emergency, so rather how will they plan, prevent,
and mitigate disasters.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
That do happen.
Speaker 11 (11:10):
He has cognitive decline, probably mid stage dementia.
Speaker 13 (11:14):
Doing pardons, giving money away connotations won't hold up in court.
Speaker 11 (11:19):
If it can prove that he has daventia?
Speaker 13 (11:22):
Does that mean Garcetti embraces the whole class system of
India too?
Speaker 17 (11:26):
Did he visit the plums of India?
Speaker 13 (11:29):
Or did he need to hang out with the Bollywood people.
Speaker 10 (11:32):
Mayor Karen Bass is floundering.
Speaker 13 (11:35):
Governor Gavin Newsom is more full of it than the reservoirs,
and California has gone from Amber alerts to amber alert.
Speaker 5 (11:43):
Wait, if the troublesome deodity Maren is in charge of
the police, fire and court authority is best just a
figurehead an ambassador to la This seems to be an
unnecessary expense, easily eliminated by Elon Musk and Doge.
Speaker 9 (11:59):
At Trump's inaugural speech, Biden and Harris were a few
feet away from him, and the audience around them kept
standing up to applaud repeatedly over and over. If they
had joined in, they'd be seen as the world's biggest hypocrits.
This must have been the most uncomfortable moment in their lives.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
As an x cder, I can tell you if people
need to come.
Speaker 4 (12:21):
Back to the office and work five days a week,
that's the only way to prove that they're still needed.
Speaker 11 (12:25):
The roof over the reservoir and the Poli SATs is
not fixed yet because.
Speaker 14 (12:30):
Of di delays.
Speaker 11 (12:32):
If bombs are wild people, can their fires be considered wildfires?
Speaker 19 (12:37):
You know what's going to happen with the fire investigation.
Any day now, they're going to announce a Blue Ribbon
panel and they're going to spend five ten million dollars
and eighteen to twenty four months later they're going to
have one hundred page documents that puts blame on nobody
and says here's what we're going to do right next time,
(12:59):
and that's.
Speaker 6 (12:59):
Going to be it Los Angeles, the take desalidation plant
of them by the airport. The Countifolia Coastal Commission is
very much the problem.
Speaker 13 (13:09):
Thank you for leaving your message. Please hang up.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
There's more wisdom in four minutes of moistline calls than
you get from thirty years worth of politicians on these issues. Yes,
they should have desalination plants built. I don't know how
that ocean sits next to us and we don't have
a single desalination plant in the immediate area. That's just
it's impossible to believe. And one of the first callers,
(13:36):
he said, let's take the one point three billion that
they're wasting on the failed homeless programs and double the
size of the fire department. Do that tomorrow. You have
the money, do it. Don't spend it on the homeless anymore.
That's a failure. Obviously, it's a failure. Stop it. And
(13:56):
this is the kind of nuts and bolts governing the
decisions that have to be made. I'm going to bring
that one up until the end of time.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
The tempt the voters approve a tax that's not ever
going to go away for the homeless.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Yeah, I mean, the voters in La County are particularly stupid. Really,
somebody should put that tax on the ballot again and
say can we transfer it to the fire department?
Speaker 3 (14:21):
Can they do that?
Speaker 1 (14:23):
You can do anything. All this stuff can be taken
care of.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Because we'd keep that what was a quarter cent tax rightime.
We'd keep that in place, but we would just change
where it's going to go exactly exactly.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
We only spend eight hundred million dollars on the city
fire department, and we spend one point three billion on
the homeless who start the fires. I mean, that's all
you need to know. You don't have to get into
a complicated debate here. Just stop spending money on homeless programs.
They're failures, all systems corrupt. Spend it on the fire department.
Why wouldn't they spend it? Why doesn't anybody ask them this?
(14:59):
I feel like I feel like setting up some kind
of reward fund to journalists who ask a question like that,
because nobody does. I'm looking at that poll that we
talked about before, that Madison McQueen poll, which had Karen
Bass's approval rating on the fire only thirty seven percent,
(15:20):
and if there was an election today, Rick Caruso would
win forty three thirty six And they had a question,
do you think do you think Governor Newsom should resign
or be recalled based on his failures surrounding the wildfires?
Fifty five percent said no. In fact, you had fifty
(15:40):
one percent approven how he's handling the wildfires.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
People that aren't listening to your show, and then they're
watching him on TV, you know, all handsome and lovey
dovey with the president, right, they have a different a different.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
Sense of who the governor is.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
I suspect if you just pay attention to exactly what's
going on and not be mesmerized by his his physical
profile and his jawline and his hair. Oh yeah, but
we're animals, you know, We're just animals. We respond to
physical beauty more than anything, way more than intellect.
Speaker 15 (16:19):
You're listening to John Cobel's on demand from KFI Am
six forty.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
After four o'clock John Cobelt's show on demand on the
iHeart app, and you to listen to what you missed.
We had Rick Caruso on earlier in the show in
our number two you want to hear that, he talked
about what he'd like to see happen in Pacific Palisades
to bring it back. And we also had Owen Brennan
on who discussed the poll that his company, Madison McQueen
(16:48):
put out about whether people still want Karen Bass. Around
fifty four percent of those polled disapproved of Bass's handle
of the wildfires mysterious thirty seven percent approved. He Also,
they also had an LA mayor's race and Caruso wins
(17:11):
forty three to thirty six. If the world was voting today,
twenty one percent undecided. This was interesting too, And I'm
looking for pockets of rebellion here. You've got forty three
percent in LA County or LA City who would consider
Republican leadership, which is more than twice as much as
(17:37):
the current LA County Republican registration which is only eighteen percent.
But now there's forty three percent willing to consider Republican leadership.
Another pocket of resistance or rebellion is going on in Chicago,
where they're saddled with one of the worst mayors imaginable
named Brandon Johnson. And I I have to contrast this
(18:01):
with the New York Post story about the Ice raids
turning up pedophiles, gang bangers, and suspected terrorists. Yeah, even
a terrorist from Turkey was rounded up. Across the country.
They actually arrested five hundred and thirty eight criminal illegal aliens,
(18:22):
many of them violent, and it was gang members, a terrorist, pedophiles,
and yet still the likes of Karen Bass and Gavin
Newsom still have their sanctuary state, sanctuary city policies to
protect these people. Is there anything worse than gang members,
(18:42):
terrorists and pedophiles. Well, in Chicago, they've had it. And
I want to set this up by playing a short
clip of the Chicago Mayor, Brandon Johnson, and he's beating
his chest, he's so happy he told his officials not
to go along with Trump's deportation plans. Play cut one.
Speaker 8 (19:02):
Or find it unconscionable that this administration would attempt to
create not just a vision, but fear within our public schools.
I have directed all of our sister agencies, as well
as all of our departments, to stand firm and to
uphold the local ordinance.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
Gang bangers, pedophiles, and terrorists. And Brandon Johnson wants to
make sure that city officials do not help Ice round
round up those all those horrible, horrible, violent people. Why? Why?
And are the people of Chicago going along with it? Well,
(19:43):
listen to this. I'm Fox and Friends, Fox and Friends. First,
Carly Shimpkis talk to this Chicago resident. P ray easily
play cut number two.
Speaker 20 (19:55):
What do you and other residents in Chicago think about
Mayor Brandon Johnson saying he's in a shield illegal immigrants
from Donald Trump's deportation plans.
Speaker 21 (20:03):
We hope that Donald Trump is very serious about imprisoning
those who want to stand in his way. We understand
that we are in the middle of an invasion, and
every single person who came across that border came with
an invoice on their back for the Chicago taxpayer. Nobody
else gets to be shielded from federal crimes, and neither
do they. We need everybody to go back where they
(20:26):
belong so that we can reallocate our tax funds to
the citizens of the city.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
There are a lot of black residents who are showing
up at meetings and screaming at Brandon Johnson and all
the other political officials. I love that phrase she used,
that these people are coming with an invoice on their backs.
All the Chicago taxpayers have to pay for all this,
and they're all endangered by the gang gang bangers, murderers,
(20:52):
rapists and pedophiles and terrorists. Remember when came down the escalator,
one of the first things he talked about back in
twenty fifteen was how countries were sending the worst of
the worst, and there were rapists and murderers coming from Mexico,
(21:12):
and everybody was shocked and they clutched their pearl. Oh
daren you. Oh my god, that's racist, and that's xenophobic,
and that's just wrong. And it turned out he was right.
That's exactly what a lot of Central and South American
nations were doing. Obviously, look at this, these are not
American citizens that they're rounding up. Five hundred and thirty
eight and three days. Here's another clip of Fox and Friends.
(21:36):
First Carl Shimkiss talking more to Ray p ray Easily.
Speaker 20 (21:42):
I mean, you live in a sanctuary city. How would
you feel if Donald Trump cut federal funds to Chicago
over this issue?
Speaker 21 (21:48):
I would feel very insulted. All of the reprieve that
we receive in this city comes through federal intervention, rather
it be Donald Trump or President Trump, rather getting rid
of the illegal or the Shackman decree which made the
Democrat Party stop bullying people into their party. We need
the federal government here, and I don't think that it's
(22:09):
fair that we're paying federal income taxes and we are
not allowed to get federal help because our mayor has
a political goal that doesn't align with the people.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
And she's right on that. But why do the people
elect a Brandon Johnson? I mean, the the anti Johnson crowd,
like the anti Newsom crowd, is so rational and reasonable.
Who are these people who went with these woke progressives? Why?
And I realize now that there is no possible disaster
(22:42):
that changes their mind in California. In Los Angeles, you
could have a fire that wipes out six thousand homes
and it doesn't move people at all. They come up
with silly excuses, even after you see with your own
two eyes and a performance by the mayor and the governor.
(23:02):
I mean, this is a real test of how impervious
a lot of voters are to reality and how reluctant
they are to assign the proper blame. And you have
to blame, You have to fingerpoint, you have to and
do it immediately too while people care. I'm telling you,
in three months, this will be a forgotten story. It'll
(23:24):
just be the grind of rebuilding palisades. You'll see a
feature occasionally on the news, you know, every couple of months.
But this is the moment where you have to see
and listen on the podcast later. We went through this
extensively in the first hour. How there are dozens and
dozens of infrastructure What are infrastructure projects over the last
(23:46):
few decades that were recommended and never constructed and they
would have cost relative pennies compared to the two hundred
and fifty billion dollars in damage in the Palisades. We
had Rick Caruso on and he and he talked about this,
and he gas, it's just really it's it's just stupidity.
It's what it is. How do you not do the
(24:08):
infrastructure upgrades for for water and then the Palisades burns,
and then everybody tries to excuse it. It's like, well,
you know, having the fire department there sooner, that wouldn't
have mattered. Having a huge reservoir that wouldn't have mattered,
Having the mayor here, that wouldn't have matt everything is
all that wouldn't have mattered. That would yes, it would
have all mattered. I don't I don't. I don't believe
(24:33):
what I'm seeing and hearing. Nothing matters. People are so
wedded to our progressive political cast uh political class in
this city and in the state. Nothing matters, not even
an empty reservoir, not even firefires being sent to an
hour and a half late, not even Karen Bass in Africa,
(24:57):
of all places, when somebody had to be directing the
response and the anticipation of the fires. None of that matters.
And I see this by La Times writers, La Times writers.
They write columns on this. Well, no, that wouldn't have
mattered either, and all that what experts say, it wasn't
a matter of course, all this matters. It matters a lot.
(25:21):
Trying to sell me this bag of crap for water.
Water doesn't matter. What else do you have to put
out the fire if not water.
Speaker 15 (25:32):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI Am sixty.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
The scene has now switched to somewhere in Pacific Palisades
where there's all these politicians waiting on Trump. They have
a U shaped table covered in black. I see Karen
Bass at the head of it. Trump is supposed to
be positioned in the center, just to her left, and
(26:02):
I could see Catherine Barger there and various congresspeople, Tracy
Park and council members, and they're gonna be talking with
Trump about what's needed to help rebuild the Palisades and
out to Dina. So Trump has landed. Newsom did end
up meeting him at the bottom of the staircase from
Air Force one and they had a very pleasant, friendly conversation.
(26:27):
And so the next thing is to meet all these
local politicians and he's gonna listen to what they what
they need. Let's go round two of the moistline eight
seven seven moist eighty six. If you want to get
in on this, let's go. Hey, it's John.
Speaker 5 (26:43):
Thanks for calling the moistline.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
I'm so excited to hear from you from map time.
Speaker 5 (26:47):
Oh my god, John, you owe me a pair of pants.
Speaker 11 (26:50):
I was laughing so hard at that Grcetti messy thing,
I peel over myself. Good Lord have keep him the
hell away. We don't need him here anymore. But that
was funny, funny, funny funny.
Speaker 22 (27:02):
When I heard that Garcetti, smooth talking.
Speaker 12 (27:05):
Man, all I could.
Speaker 22 (27:06):
Think was all he did over there in India was
go on vacations on the American US dollar. He didn't
do anything else. What the hell do we have ambassadors
for if they're just going to suck our money out
of our pockets to go on vacation.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
That is just who else.
Speaker 18 (27:23):
To Tom Holman, the borders are for getting on it.
Speaker 17 (27:27):
Here's game on way of approaching things in terms of keeping.
Speaker 16 (27:31):
Illegals out of the US.
Speaker 5 (27:34):
Good for him, way to go.
Speaker 13 (27:36):
You know what the biggest tragedy is of all of this,
despite all the fires and all the.
Speaker 17 (27:40):
Corruption, is that la will still vote Democrat.
Speaker 13 (27:44):
They'll still people who in the next few years that
wake up people.
Speaker 18 (27:48):
What is everyone going to realize? It's that the people
that are crying on the news about their family members
possibly being deported, Well, if they had built lives here,
they have been here for that long, and they have
not taken themselves a day to go down and get
the correct papers to become legal.
Speaker 13 (28:08):
How is that art problem?
Speaker 5 (28:10):
United States should take California and make it a national park.
Take away its state, take away its legislators, take away,
its governor. Take away, it's voltes in Congress.
Speaker 17 (28:20):
Take away, it's electoral wolts.
Speaker 5 (28:21):
It's been so mismanaged.
Speaker 17 (28:23):
The rest of the country cannot be burned with these
people conducting themselves as a state.
Speaker 11 (28:28):
Climate change needs to be redefined as a curtain behind
which the incompetent hide.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
Sounds like a bunch of bs when the borders are
come on to say.
Speaker 13 (28:39):
I really doubt anything's changed.
Speaker 4 (28:42):
I don't want my tax dollars going to protect illegal migrants.
Get them out of here. It's my tax dollar. They're
already broke. I don't want them spending a cent on
these people. I don't want to be a sanctuary city.
Get them out of here, or better yet, let's port
city hall.
Speaker 14 (29:01):
I really wish Trump was the dictator that everybody accuses
him of being.
Speaker 15 (29:05):
Honestly, he's way too soft on all these century cities
that just get away with downright treason.
Speaker 6 (29:10):
Why don't you.
Speaker 11 (29:11):
Start referring to the mayor of La as this mayor
earl as in url So.
Speaker 10 (29:18):
Biden brought people into our country that would kill our citizens.
That's what Biden did, That's what Kamala did. They're like
working for another country. Biden he sold his soul, he
was never in charge. And Trump he's the same thing.
Trump is just playing a part. America's been screwed. Either way,
(29:39):
we all lose every single time.
Speaker 13 (29:42):
What a bummer.
Speaker 12 (29:43):
So typical of California government and LA in general, never
prepared for what could happen, and always stealing the money out.
And now stealing whatever our taxes are for. You know,
he should have a good working fire department, a good
working plan, a good working police force. But they don't
like that, so they steal that money and allocate it
(30:03):
for something else.
Speaker 13 (30:05):
Thank you for leaving your message. Please hang up, goodbye.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
All right, there you go, moistline eight seven seven Moist
eighty six Conway.
Speaker 23 (30:13):
Hey, now, Alex Michaelson's coming on with us from Fox
eleven News. Also, Kevin McMahon is he's a communication manager
over that that passady in a humane society. We'll talk
about pets and stuff like that. Plus, somebody knows all
about insurance. You know it's impossible right now to get
fire insurance in southern California. Yeah, I know, they're not
(30:36):
writing any new policies. No, I know, how does that
affect economy?
Speaker 1 (30:39):
Kills it?
Speaker 23 (30:40):
Kills it because you can't sell a house, no, unless
you bought it all cash. If you have a mortgage,
you have to have fire insurance.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
I don't know if there's a solution to this, because
the insurance companies don't want to lose any more money.
They don't have that kind of money. No, they're three
hundred billion dollars.
Speaker 23 (30:54):
No, So that's that's what's going on today, and then
Trump's and town and we'll take that live whenever he speaks.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
All right, Conway here, big dog Cruzer with the news
live in the CAFI twice for our newsroom. Hey, you've
been listening to The John Cobalt Show podcast. You can
always hear the show live on KFI AM six forty
from one to four pm every Monday through Friday, and
of course anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Can't find AM six forty. You're listening to the John
Cobel podcast on the iHeartRadio app. Well, this is an
amusing scene at LAX. Trump's plane is landed Air Force
one and Newsom is standing by himself at the bottom
of the stairs with his hands in his pockets and
looking forlornly in the air, waiting for Trump to come
(00:25):
down the staircase. But Trump's not coming out yet, and
Newsom has his hands in his pockets and he's looking
around like he's waiting for a cab. He doesn't seem
to know what to do. And I'm wondering if Trump
is going to leave him hanging there for a while.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Do you think Newsom is worried about that?
Speaker 3 (00:41):
That would be so embarrassing.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
It would Newsom is taking a big risk here, because
Trump has no problem with embarrassing him, and he could
let him stand out there for half an hour. He
could just blow by him and not even acknowledge him.
And there was just something about the way he was
standing so lonely. He looked very lonely. Yeah, I mean,
(01:08):
I gotta feel.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
A little bit sorry for And that would be so humiliating.
He is the governor of our state. Right, And as
you said, this is the biggest disaster to hit this area, right,
and the president's coming to tour the damage, and you know,
and you're worrying about being blown off.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Do you really have to feel bad for him?
Speaker 2 (01:26):
You know, I'm just saying I would be mortified, humiliated.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
I know that this is being broadcast nationally a Fox
House Fox. Yeah. Yeah, And if Trump does something disrespectful,
it's going to be played over into eternity. So if
I was de douces him, I wouldn't take that risk
because because Trump doesn't care, he doesn't go by the
normal protocols. You know, he's he's not worried about how
(01:55):
you're supposed to treat, you know, a fellow, a governor,
and a situation like this. If he's in a mood,
he'll just blow past them. And because he didn't, he
didn't want Newsom there at all.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
Oh wait, he's coming. He's coming out of Air Force one.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
It's got a a baseball cap on, no tie. He's
walking down with Milania. Do you think Mlania's clothing budget
is a month?
Speaker 3 (02:22):
I wish I had that.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
They're walking very slowly down and.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
Oh they're shaking hands. Oh, John, they're hugging.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Look at that. Well, a couple of pats on the
back by Trump and squeezes his left arm, and Newsom
is gesturing and patting Trump on the shoulder, and uh,
they're having an animated discussion with each other. Trump definitely
did the signature handhake where he pulled the guy in. Yeah,
(02:59):
I'm gonna John, Sorry, well I'm not No, I'm not
half a second behind here.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Oh okay.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
He reached and kissed me Wadia on the cheek. Oh
that's that's a little aggressive.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
It's nice.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Come on, you can't control himself. Oh, they're going to take.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
Questions, but it would be interesting to find out when
somebody asked a question.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Hey, it doesn't seem like Channel four his audio of it.
You could hear him faintly.
Speaker 5 (03:28):
We're going to be taking right here.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
I have some audio with several of the people from
the area. I appreciate the governor coming out and meeting me. Kevin,
we very much, and uh, we'll.
Speaker 6 (03:42):
Be talking about a bit. We want to get it picked,
we want to get.
Speaker 7 (03:44):
The problem fixed, and that'll be some ways.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
But it's like you got hit by a bob right,
like you got hit by a bob.
Speaker 8 (03:54):
What I just think, most importantly, thank you for being
here means a great deal to all of not just
the folks.
Speaker 9 (04:01):
At palisays the folks in Altadena that we're devastated.
Speaker 10 (04:05):
We're gonna need your support, We're gonna need your help.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
If you were there for us during COVID, I don't
forget that, and I have all the.
Speaker 10 (04:14):
Expectations that we'll be able to work together. We'll to
get the speedy recovered.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
So this is no fun you'd have done.
Speaker 11 (04:20):
Tremendous numbers of lives have been affected, a lot of
real estate has been affected.
Speaker 12 (04:25):
Nobody's ever probably seen anything like this.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
You can almost say it's the.
Speaker 13 (04:30):
Second World War when you think of it.
Speaker 14 (04:32):
I mean, nothing like this has happened.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
And we're gonna get it fixed.
Speaker 14 (04:36):
So we'll get it perpetently fixed.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
So it can't happen again and again.
Speaker 10 (04:40):
We'll be talking a little bit later and we're gonna
work out.
Speaker 6 (04:43):
Okay.
Speaker 14 (04:43):
I appreciate you, mister present.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Thank you, God, thank you, thank you. Going right. Trump
has a new hat. I'm sure he's going to be
selling these online. It's a blue hat with gold lettering.
Make America great again. And he's got embroidery on the
side that says forty five dash forty seven because he
was the forty fifth and forty seve I have not
seen that particular hat.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
I have not either, for he debuted it just for us.
Speaker 6 (05:04):
John.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Do you ever listen, like to the Fox News the
radio feed of the TV channel.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
I have not.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
They fill the commercials with all kinds of They fill
the commercial breaks with weird stuff, a lot of Trump commercials.
He's selling sneakers, he's selling gold watches.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
My husband was telling me that he heard it, and
we were telling somebody else and they thought my husband
was crazy.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
No, no, I've heard the commercials so many times I
could practically do him forbad him. He goes, Hi, this
is your favorite president. Well, I hope I'm your favorite president.
And I have these wonderful presidential sneakers here, I have
this wonderful presidential gold watch. And he goes into a
whole spiel selling the watch or selling the sneakers and
god knows what else. And I'm sure that hat is
(05:48):
going to be a big selling I'm sure.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Yeah, Well that that was a very.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Friendly Yes, that is yeah, very disappointing.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
I know you and Ray always want chaos. I get it.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
I get it, Eric too, I know. But look, honestly,
right now we need help.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Yes we do.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
So it's better that they're getting along. Forget the chaos
for a half a second, and let's just.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Get the chaos.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Forget the chaos, because look, if if Newsom gave Trump
the finger, what do you think I mean? You know,
then Trump's going to get back on Air Force one
and say, Okay, screw California, screw at Los Angeles.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Well, what the thing is. Trump has got to put
conditions on this money because because Newsome and Karen Bass
a lot of money has disappeared under them in recent years.
You can't just give them blank chinks and the whole
black blank checks. And I hope they do the right thing.
They do not handle money. Well, all right, we will
(06:45):
have the moistline coming up in just moments.
Speaker 15 (06:48):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
We were going to have Jake haganon UH. He's UH
with the State Guard. He was the commanding General of
the State Guard for several years. This was a special
firefighting unit part of Gavin Newsom's Office of Emergency Services,
but Newsom eliminated the one hundred and fifty member volunteer unit.
(07:20):
It was supposed to be dedicated to fighting wildfires and
Newsom got rid of it. And there's question whether they
could have helped out. And Jay Coggan was going to
talk about it, and we will have him do that.
On Monday, we got squeezed out because Trump landed and
came down. Air Force won the staircase and Gavin Newsom,
(07:41):
like a little puppy, was waiting for him at the
at the base of the stairs. Trump came down with
Milania and they had a very very friendly discussion thes
they did, and Newsom went in and went for the
gold with Milania there, stealing a kiss.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Well, you know, she's a very beautiful lady.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
He couldn't resist, you know what He's like?
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Yeah, well, I don't know, but I can imagine if.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
He met you, you'd know he can't. He can't control himself,
he can't resist. And so he went in for a
kiss there, which I just I just think that was wrong.
I just think you should have a.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Relationship with some weird shaking her hand.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Yeah, well, and feel weird. But don't you know she
doesn't want his lips on her face?
Speaker 3 (08:29):
Maybe she does. He's an attractive man, John.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Well, yeah, he probably is more attractive than Trump. But
you don't know where those lips have been. I don't know. God,
all right, let's uh, let's go to uh the moistline
here eight seven seven moist eighty six eight seven seven
moist steady six. Let's roll.
Speaker 13 (08:47):
Hey, it's Sean.
Speaker 14 (08:48):
Thanks for calling the moistline.
Speaker 5 (08:50):
I'm so excited to hear from you.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
To BAP time.
Speaker 13 (08:53):
What we need to do is take that one point
three billion dollars that we're spending on homelessness and put
it into the fire department. Let's double the size of
our fire department and we won't have a problem like
this anymore. And while we're at it, let's fire Newsom
and Bass.
Speaker 16 (09:10):
I just want to know, is anyone wondering why these
thick Bass and Newsom are smiling at every news conference
or interview cruly sick?
Speaker 13 (09:24):
That's wrong with these guys? Get rid of them.
Speaker 5 (09:26):
By this is your friend, George.
Speaker 17 (09:28):
I miss you guys, I miss my prisoners, and frois
my goblement.
Speaker 18 (09:33):
Should set up motor home park for all these people.
Speaker 17 (09:37):
After listening to about fifteen minutes of that Newsom town hall,
I'm going to bang my head so hard against Wall
I'm going to knock myself out for all you people
that voted for him in bass et cetera. Shame on you.
Speaker 9 (09:50):
He is nothing.
Speaker 17 (09:51):
He's just an empty suit. The guy is absolutely oblivious
to reality.
Speaker 6 (09:56):
Yeah, I'm listening to this town hall meeting with the governor.
All it is is what he thinks are the good
support he's doing. These are staged questions. When's someone going
to hold this dude accountable? This is bs Oh, I
am so offended.
Speaker 14 (10:13):
How dare you throw Dernie Canone's in the dumpster. I
have no clue what equity lens your dumpster crew is
looking through. But excuse me, she does not get judged
by anything. According to my equity lens.
Speaker 10 (10:27):
The border is now klump.
Speaker 13 (10:31):
Trump is now officially president.
Speaker 10 (10:33):
The border is now quote.
Speaker 13 (10:37):
He thinks Delta smelts it, Delta Delta, and this beast
stink to high heaven.
Speaker 7 (10:43):
You are out of your mind if you think the Bidens.
Speaker 6 (10:47):
Were worse than Trump.
Speaker 7 (10:49):
Trump is a grifter and the worst convicted criminal to
be president of the United States America is going down
this again, and you're in crazy.
Speaker 14 (11:02):
The measure of a good leader is not how well
they respond to emergency, so rather how will they plan, prevent,
and mitigate disasters.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
That do happen.
Speaker 11 (11:10):
He has cognitive decline, probably mid stage dementia.
Speaker 13 (11:14):
Doing pardons, giving money away connotations won't hold up in court.
Speaker 11 (11:19):
If it can prove that he has daventia?
Speaker 13 (11:22):
Does that mean Garcetti embraces the whole class system of
India too?
Speaker 17 (11:26):
Did he visit the plums of India?
Speaker 13 (11:29):
Or did he need to hang out with the Bollywood people.
Speaker 10 (11:32):
Mayor Karen Bass is floundering.
Speaker 13 (11:35):
Governor Gavin Newsom is more full of it than the reservoirs,
and California has gone from Amber alerts to amber alert.
Speaker 5 (11:43):
Wait, if the troublesome deodity Maren is in charge of
the police, fire and court authority is best just a
figurehead an ambassador to la This seems to be an
unnecessary expense, easily eliminated by Elon Musk and Doge.
Speaker 9 (11:59):
At Trump's inaugural speech, Biden and Harris were a few
feet away from him, and the audience around them kept
standing up to applaud repeatedly over and over. If they
had joined in, they'd be seen as the world's biggest hypocrits.
This must have been the most uncomfortable moment in their lives.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
As an x cder, I can tell you if people
need to come.
Speaker 4 (12:21):
Back to the office and work five days a week,
that's the only way to prove that they're still needed.
Speaker 11 (12:25):
The roof over the reservoir and the Poli SATs is
not fixed yet because.
Speaker 14 (12:30):
Of di delays.
Speaker 11 (12:32):
If bombs are wild people, can their fires be considered wildfires?
Speaker 19 (12:37):
You know what's going to happen with the fire investigation.
Any day now, they're going to announce a Blue Ribbon
panel and they're going to spend five ten million dollars
and eighteen to twenty four months later they're going to
have one hundred page documents that puts blame on nobody
and says here's what we're going to do right next time,
(12:59):
and that's.
Speaker 6 (12:59):
Going to be it Los Angeles, the take desalidation plant
of them by the airport. The Countifolia Coastal Commission is
very much the problem.
Speaker 13 (13:09):
Thank you for leaving your message. Please hang up.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
There's more wisdom in four minutes of moistline calls than
you get from thirty years worth of politicians on these issues. Yes,
they should have desalination plants built. I don't know how
that ocean sits next to us and we don't have
a single desalination plant in the immediate area. That's just
it's impossible to believe. And one of the first callers,
(13:36):
he said, let's take the one point three billion that
they're wasting on the failed homeless programs and double the
size of the fire department. Do that tomorrow. You have
the money, do it. Don't spend it on the homeless anymore.
That's a failure. Obviously, it's a failure. Stop it. And
(13:56):
this is the kind of nuts and bolts governing the
decisions that have to be made. I'm going to bring
that one up until the end of time.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
The tempt the voters approve a tax that's not ever
going to go away for the homeless.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Yeah, I mean, the voters in La County are particularly stupid. Really,
somebody should put that tax on the ballot again and
say can we transfer it to the fire department?
Speaker 3 (14:21):
Can they do that?
Speaker 1 (14:23):
You can do anything. All this stuff can be taken
care of.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Because we'd keep that what was a quarter cent tax rightime.
We'd keep that in place, but we would just change
where it's going to go exactly exactly.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
We only spend eight hundred million dollars on the city
fire department, and we spend one point three billion on
the homeless who start the fires. I mean, that's all
you need to know. You don't have to get into
a complicated debate here. Just stop spending money on homeless programs.
They're failures, all systems corrupt. Spend it on the fire department.
Why wouldn't they spend it? Why doesn't anybody ask them this?
(14:59):
I feel like I feel like setting up some kind
of reward fund to journalists who ask a question like that,
because nobody does. I'm looking at that poll that we
talked about before, that Madison McQueen poll, which had Karen
Bass's approval rating on the fire only thirty seven percent,
(15:20):
and if there was an election today, Rick Caruso would
win forty three thirty six And they had a question,
do you think do you think Governor Newsom should resign
or be recalled based on his failures surrounding the wildfires?
Fifty five percent said no. In fact, you had fifty
(15:40):
one percent approven how he's handling the wildfires.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
People that aren't listening to your show, and then they're
watching him on TV, you know, all handsome and lovey
dovey with the president, right, they have a different a different.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
Sense of who the governor is.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
I suspect if you just pay attention to exactly what's
going on and not be mesmerized by his his physical
profile and his jawline and his hair. Oh yeah, but
we're animals, you know, We're just animals. We respond to
physical beauty more than anything, way more than intellect.
Speaker 15 (16:19):
You're listening to John Cobel's on demand from KFI Am
six forty.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
After four o'clock John Cobelt's show on demand on the
iHeart app, and you to listen to what you missed.
We had Rick Caruso on earlier in the show in
our number two you want to hear that, he talked
about what he'd like to see happen in Pacific Palisades
to bring it back. And we also had Owen Brennan
on who discussed the poll that his company, Madison McQueen
(16:48):
put out about whether people still want Karen Bass. Around
fifty four percent of those polled disapproved of Bass's handle
of the wildfires mysterious thirty seven percent approved. He Also,
they also had an LA mayor's race and Caruso wins
(17:11):
forty three to thirty six. If the world was voting today,
twenty one percent undecided. This was interesting too, And I'm
looking for pockets of rebellion here. You've got forty three
percent in LA County or LA City who would consider
Republican leadership, which is more than twice as much as
(17:37):
the current LA County Republican registration which is only eighteen percent.
But now there's forty three percent willing to consider Republican leadership.
Another pocket of resistance or rebellion is going on in Chicago,
where they're saddled with one of the worst mayors imaginable
named Brandon Johnson. And I I have to contrast this
(18:01):
with the New York Post story about the Ice raids
turning up pedophiles, gang bangers, and suspected terrorists. Yeah, even
a terrorist from Turkey was rounded up. Across the country.
They actually arrested five hundred and thirty eight criminal illegal aliens,
(18:22):
many of them violent, and it was gang members, a terrorist, pedophiles,
and yet still the likes of Karen Bass and Gavin
Newsom still have their sanctuary state, sanctuary city policies to
protect these people. Is there anything worse than gang members,
(18:42):
terrorists and pedophiles. Well, in Chicago, they've had it. And
I want to set this up by playing a short
clip of the Chicago Mayor, Brandon Johnson, and he's beating
his chest, he's so happy he told his officials not
to go along with Trump's deportation plans. Play cut one.
Speaker 8 (19:02):
Or find it unconscionable that this administration would attempt to
create not just a vision, but fear within our public schools.
I have directed all of our sister agencies, as well
as all of our departments, to stand firm and to
uphold the local ordinance.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
Gang bangers, pedophiles, and terrorists. And Brandon Johnson wants to
make sure that city officials do not help Ice round
round up those all those horrible, horrible, violent people. Why? Why?
And are the people of Chicago going along with it? Well,
(19:43):
listen to this. I'm Fox and Friends, Fox and Friends. First,
Carly Shimpkis talk to this Chicago resident. P ray easily
play cut number two.
Speaker 20 (19:55):
What do you and other residents in Chicago think about
Mayor Brandon Johnson saying he's in a shield illegal immigrants
from Donald Trump's deportation plans.
Speaker 21 (20:03):
We hope that Donald Trump is very serious about imprisoning
those who want to stand in his way. We understand
that we are in the middle of an invasion, and
every single person who came across that border came with
an invoice on their back for the Chicago taxpayer. Nobody
else gets to be shielded from federal crimes, and neither
do they. We need everybody to go back where they
(20:26):
belong so that we can reallocate our tax funds to
the citizens of the city.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
There are a lot of black residents who are showing
up at meetings and screaming at Brandon Johnson and all
the other political officials. I love that phrase she used,
that these people are coming with an invoice on their backs.
All the Chicago taxpayers have to pay for all this,
and they're all endangered by the gang gang bangers, murderers,
(20:52):
rapists and pedophiles and terrorists. Remember when came down the escalator,
one of the first things he talked about back in
twenty fifteen was how countries were sending the worst of
the worst, and there were rapists and murderers coming from Mexico,
(21:12):
and everybody was shocked and they clutched their pearl. Oh
daren you. Oh my god, that's racist, and that's xenophobic,
and that's just wrong. And it turned out he was right.
That's exactly what a lot of Central and South American
nations were doing. Obviously, look at this, these are not
American citizens that they're rounding up. Five hundred and thirty
eight and three days. Here's another clip of Fox and Friends.
(21:36):
First Carl Shimkiss talking more to Ray p ray Easily.
Speaker 20 (21:42):
I mean, you live in a sanctuary city. How would
you feel if Donald Trump cut federal funds to Chicago
over this issue?
Speaker 21 (21:48):
I would feel very insulted. All of the reprieve that
we receive in this city comes through federal intervention, rather
it be Donald Trump or President Trump, rather getting rid
of the illegal or the Shackman decree which made the
Democrat Party stop bullying people into their party. We need
the federal government here, and I don't think that it's
(22:09):
fair that we're paying federal income taxes and we are
not allowed to get federal help because our mayor has
a political goal that doesn't align with the people.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
And she's right on that. But why do the people
elect a Brandon Johnson? I mean, the the anti Johnson crowd,
like the anti Newsom crowd, is so rational and reasonable.
Who are these people who went with these woke progressives? Why?
And I realize now that there is no possible disaster
(22:42):
that changes their mind in California. In Los Angeles, you
could have a fire that wipes out six thousand homes
and it doesn't move people at all. They come up
with silly excuses, even after you see with your own
two eyes and a performance by the mayor and the governor.
(23:02):
I mean, this is a real test of how impervious
a lot of voters are to reality and how reluctant
they are to assign the proper blame. And you have
to blame, You have to fingerpoint, you have to and
do it immediately too while people care. I'm telling you,
in three months, this will be a forgotten story. It'll
(23:24):
just be the grind of rebuilding palisades. You'll see a
feature occasionally on the news, you know, every couple of months.
But this is the moment where you have to see
and listen on the podcast later. We went through this
extensively in the first hour. How there are dozens and
dozens of infrastructure What are infrastructure projects over the last
(23:46):
few decades that were recommended and never constructed and they
would have cost relative pennies compared to the two hundred
and fifty billion dollars in damage in the Palisades. We
had Rick Caruso on and he and he talked about this,
and he gas, it's just really it's it's just stupidity.
It's what it is. How do you not do the
(24:08):
infrastructure upgrades for for water and then the Palisades burns,
and then everybody tries to excuse it. It's like, well,
you know, having the fire department there sooner, that wouldn't
have mattered. Having a huge reservoir that wouldn't have mattered,
Having the mayor here, that wouldn't have matt everything is
all that wouldn't have mattered. That would yes, it would
have all mattered. I don't I don't. I don't believe
(24:33):
what I'm seeing and hearing. Nothing matters. People are so
wedded to our progressive political cast uh political class in
this city and in the state. Nothing matters, not even
an empty reservoir, not even firefires being sent to an
hour and a half late, not even Karen Bass in Africa,
(24:57):
of all places, when somebody had to be directing the
response and the anticipation of the fires. None of that matters.
And I see this by La Times writers, La Times writers.
They write columns on this. Well, no, that wouldn't have
mattered either, and all that what experts say, it wasn't
a matter of course, all this matters. It matters a lot.
(25:21):
Trying to sell me this bag of crap for water.
Water doesn't matter. What else do you have to put
out the fire if not water.
Speaker 15 (25:32):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI Am sixty.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
The scene has now switched to somewhere in Pacific Palisades
where there's all these politicians waiting on Trump. They have
a U shaped table covered in black. I see Karen
Bass at the head of it. Trump is supposed to
be positioned in the center, just to her left, and
(26:02):
I could see Catherine Barger there and various congresspeople, Tracy
Park and council members, and they're gonna be talking with
Trump about what's needed to help rebuild the Palisades and
out to Dina. So Trump has landed. Newsom did end
up meeting him at the bottom of the staircase from
Air Force one and they had a very pleasant, friendly conversation.
(26:27):
And so the next thing is to meet all these
local politicians and he's gonna listen to what they what
they need. Let's go round two of the moistline eight
seven seven moist eighty six. If you want to get
in on this, let's go. Hey, it's John.
Speaker 5 (26:43):
Thanks for calling the moistline.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
I'm so excited to hear from you from map time.
Speaker 5 (26:47):
Oh my god, John, you owe me a pair of pants.
Speaker 11 (26:50):
I was laughing so hard at that Grcetti messy thing,
I peel over myself. Good Lord have keep him the
hell away. We don't need him here anymore. But that
was funny, funny, funny funny.
Speaker 22 (27:02):
When I heard that Garcetti, smooth talking.
Speaker 12 (27:05):
Man, all I could.
Speaker 22 (27:06):
Think was all he did over there in India was
go on vacations on the American US dollar. He didn't
do anything else. What the hell do we have ambassadors
for if they're just going to suck our money out
of our pockets to go on vacation.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
That is just who else.
Speaker 18 (27:23):
To Tom Holman, the borders are for getting on it.
Speaker 17 (27:27):
Here's game on way of approaching things in terms of keeping.
Speaker 16 (27:31):
Illegals out of the US.
Speaker 5 (27:34):
Good for him, way to go.
Speaker 13 (27:36):
You know what the biggest tragedy is of all of this,
despite all the fires and all the.
Speaker 17 (27:40):
Corruption, is that la will still vote Democrat.
Speaker 13 (27:44):
They'll still people who in the next few years that
wake up people.
Speaker 18 (27:48):
What is everyone going to realize? It's that the people
that are crying on the news about their family members
possibly being deported, Well, if they had built lives here,
they have been here for that long, and they have
not taken themselves a day to go down and get
the correct papers to become legal.
Speaker 13 (28:08):
How is that art problem?
Speaker 5 (28:10):
United States should take California and make it a national park.
Take away its state, take away its legislators, take away,
its governor. Take away, it's voltes in Congress.
Speaker 17 (28:20):
Take away, it's electoral wolts.
Speaker 5 (28:21):
It's been so mismanaged.
Speaker 17 (28:23):
The rest of the country cannot be burned with these
people conducting themselves as a state.
Speaker 11 (28:28):
Climate change needs to be redefined as a curtain behind
which the incompetent hide.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
Sounds like a bunch of bs when the borders are
come on to say.
Speaker 13 (28:39):
I really doubt anything's changed.
Speaker 4 (28:42):
I don't want my tax dollars going to protect illegal migrants.
Get them out of here. It's my tax dollar. They're
already broke. I don't want them spending a cent on
these people. I don't want to be a sanctuary city.
Get them out of here, or better yet, let's port
city hall.
Speaker 14 (29:01):
I really wish Trump was the dictator that everybody accuses
him of being.
Speaker 15 (29:05):
Honestly, he's way too soft on all these century cities
that just get away with downright treason.
Speaker 6 (29:10):
Why don't you.
Speaker 11 (29:11):
Start referring to the mayor of La as this mayor
earl as in url So.
Speaker 10 (29:18):
Biden brought people into our country that would kill our citizens.
That's what Biden did, That's what Kamala did. They're like
working for another country. Biden he sold his soul, he
was never in charge. And Trump he's the same thing.
Trump is just playing a part. America's been screwed. Either way,
(29:39):
we all lose every single time.
Speaker 13 (29:42):
What a bummer.
Speaker 12 (29:43):
So typical of California government and LA in general, never
prepared for what could happen, and always stealing the money out.
And now stealing whatever our taxes are for. You know,
he should have a good working fire department, a good
working plan, a good working police force. But they don't
like that, so they steal that money and allocate it
(30:03):
for something else.
Speaker 13 (30:05):
Thank you for leaving your message. Please hang up, goodbye.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
All right, there you go, moistline eight seven seven Moist
eighty six Conway.
Speaker 23 (30:13):
Hey, now, Alex Michaelson's coming on with us from Fox
eleven News. Also, Kevin McMahon is he's a communication manager
over that that passady in a humane society. We'll talk
about pets and stuff like that. Plus, somebody knows all
about insurance. You know it's impossible right now to get
fire insurance in southern California. Yeah, I know, they're not
(30:36):
writing any new policies. No, I know, how does that
affect economy?
Speaker 1 (30:39):
Kills it?
Speaker 23 (30:40):
Kills it because you can't sell a house, no, unless
you bought it all cash. If you have a mortgage,
you have to have fire insurance.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
I don't know if there's a solution to this, because
the insurance companies don't want to lose any more money.
They don't have that kind of money. No, they're three
hundred billion dollars.
Speaker 23 (30:54):
No, So that's that's what's going on today, and then
Trump's and town and we'll take that live whenever he speaks.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
