Speaker 1 (00:00):
I am six forty. You're listening to the John Cobel
podcast on the iHeartRadio app. We're on from one to
four every day here on KFI. And if for some
reason you do not hear the program, you may work.
We've found out that at least eleven percent of the
audience works so much. Yes, minimum could be more. We're
(00:23):
still doing the research. And if you are working and
you can't stream, that's option number two. Option number three
is the podcast after four o'clock. It's posted John Cobel's
show on demand, same as the radio show, and you
could hear everything you missed. Now, speaking of podcasts, the
podcast space is getting very crowded. I mean there's just
(00:45):
just hundreds of thousands of podcasts out there. I know
a number of people who have podcasts. Oh yeah, they
try it for I've noticed about.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Six episodes and what happens after that?
Speaker 1 (00:58):
They get tired because it's a lot of you know,
putting together a radio show, which basically is what a
you know, it's like a podcast, It's all really the same.
It takes a lot of preparation and I've telled people this.
Everybody thinks they can do this, and they usually can
for one day, right, right, they can't, and then the
big challenge is day two and day three it's like,
(01:21):
oh my god, I got to talk for three or
four hours every day. And you know, they have maybe
six episodes. They get twenty seven people, family and friends
to listen, and then they'd rather go gardening or something.
But Gavin Newsoon now has a podcast, and I haven't
(01:42):
figured out if he has two podcasts or this replaces
the old one.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Well, remember we at first I thought it replaced the
old one, but then I think Eric said he does
have two separate podcasts.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
He has one with a former football player, Marshawn Lynch,
and also a sports agent, the three of them. I've
never heard it. I don't know if it's any good.
I'm sure it's fascinating and I heart carries both podcasts
to point that out. Got a conflict of interesting. Then
he's got a new one called This is Gavin Newsom.
(02:16):
And the idea of this, at least for now, is
he's going to talk to Republican, conservative, MAGA, right wing whatever,
people that disagree with him. That's right, right, and he
wants to look for common ground. He said he was
inspired by Bill Maher's show on HBO, right see on
(02:36):
HBO and Bill Mar's got a great show, and mar
has found a lot of common ground with conservatives over
woke nonsense. So Newsom says, oh, you know what, I
like that idea, because Newsom now is done as California governor.
In terms of his interest in the job, he's just got,
(02:58):
you know, two years left twenty twenty sixth wa yeah,
two years left twenty twenty six November. He's he's, uh,
there's gonna be another election. There'll be a new governor
two years from two years from last January. What's he good?
You know, what's he gonna do? He thought he was
going to be the heir apparent to be president. He
(03:23):
was angling to try to work his way into the
whole mess over the summer in case Biden dropped out.
He could be anointed, Maybe he could be Kamo's vice president.
You know, he wanted to get in there because his
days are numbered as governor. Turned out, and he's not.
He doesn't like the job anymore. It's no fun. And
(03:45):
somewhere inside he must knows, he must know he's a
big failure at it, Like he's not gonna will you
think he thinks that. Yeah, really, yeah, I I because
he he he doesn't really brag about anything he's done.
He brags that. You know, California has the fifth largest
(04:06):
economy in the world, but he didn't. He didn't build
that and most of that tech world. We also have
the most poverty of the country. He knows homelessness is
out of control. He knows crime has been out of control.
He knows the taxes are way high, people in general
are unhappy. He knows this. He's not completely stupid, He's
(04:31):
and and so he just wants to do something else. Now,
how do you get to be president in this climate.
You're going to have to move to the middle. You're
gonna have to make some compromises. All right, Trump has
changed the world. Woke is dead, Progressivism is embarrassing except
in California. But he's got to appeal to the other
forty United States. He saw what happened to Kamala, Right,
(04:53):
Kamala plays great in Oakland or Marine County or the
West side of LA but you get you get out
in the real world there, Kamala was a dud. I mean,
she lost over sixty percent of the states. So he's thinking,
I get a podcast, I get another podcast. I'm going
to talk to conservatives. I'm going to talk to fought
(05:15):
leaders on the conservative side. Try to understand what they
why they think the way they do. Try to He
watches Fox News I've read obsessively, like every free minute.
He watches Fox News and disagrees allegedly with most of
the stuff but that he hears. But he wants to
know how they do it. You know, he thinks it's
a whole marketing mind manipulation, right. He thinks, you know,
(05:39):
without Fox News, Americans wouldn't believe in half the stuff
they believe in. And it's actually the other way around.
Fox News found a huge percentage of the country wasn't
being served. They already felt a lot of this, they
just never had an outlet that highlighted it. So he's
got it reversed. You can't tell the audience what to think.
(06:01):
That's not the way it works. So his first guest
is Charles Kirk, Charlie Kirk. You may not know him
unless you're in conservative maga circles. He is thirty one
years old, very young. He's got a media empire already,
He's got a podcast in a radio show that's very successful,
(06:21):
and he's the CEO of Turning Point Action and Turning
Point Academy, Turning Point Faith, and it's about developing these
programs to educate young people about the joys of conservative
thinking and again very successful at it. So Newsom wants
(06:42):
to talk to him, and we have some clips to play,
quite a few actually, because Newsom denounced many of the
things that he's believed in renounced. I guess is the
a lot of the I lood played progressive beliefs that
they've all had. Newsom realizes, well, that's a loser. Kamala
(07:06):
went splat with them. I think I'm going to start
changing my mind. And the one that grabbed a lot
of media attention was Newsome saying that the idea of
having transgender girls who are biologically boys having those transgender
girls compete in sports against biological girls maybe not a
(07:29):
good idea. Let's play cut six.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
What do you do, seriously, Charlie Kirk, give us some.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
Of the better ideas.
Speaker 5 (07:34):
Governor, like, for example, I mean, like, if you want
to like, you have an opportunity to like, you know,
run to the middle and see this man's obviously you're
talking to me of all people, it's like you right
now should come out and be like, you know what,
the young man who's about to win the state championship
in the long jump in female sports, that's that that
shouldn't happen. You as the governor should step out there
say no, no, And I appreciate, and but like, would
(07:54):
you do something like that, would you say no men
in female sports?
Speaker 3 (07:56):
Well, I think it's an issue of fairness. I completely
agree with you on that. It is an issue a
fair So it's deeply.
Speaker 5 (08:02):
Did you speak out against this young man, knight Baby Hernandez,
who right now is going to win the state championship
in the long time.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
I can see you're wrestling with it.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
No, I'm not wrestling. I'm not relation with the fairness issue.
I totally agree with you. By the way, as someone
with four kids, you got I think have two daughters, right,
two daughters had and a wife that went god forbid
to Stanford and played on the junior national soccer team.
And a guy who got into college only because I
was left handed, uh and could throw baseball a little
bit or the hit the ball for.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
A little bit.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
So I revere sports and so the issue of fairness
is completely legit. And I saw that the last couple
of years. Boy did I saw how you guys were
able to weaponize that.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
Issue at another weaponize don't that's that's.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Webinize, maybe, Pajordan of You're right right, you were able.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
To stop at that was fast, wasn't it. So Charlie
Kirk brings up one idea transgender Well, men becoming women
and competing in sports, and you've got this guy in
college who's winning the long jump championship in the state,
and why don't you come out and say something against him?
Boom nwsom's right there. It's like, that's a good idea, Charlie.
(09:06):
Your reps are absolutely right. He's never said anything about this.
He's always been reflex progressive, woke, transgender. And Kirk just
makes one suggestion. It's like, yeah, yeah, I think you're right. Yeah,
it's unfair, unfairness. It's a question that unfairness. Woh wow,
(09:28):
that's all it takes. Huh. You just blow on him hard, nothing,
he's gonna do a flip. Now. This is interesting because
this is where he turns on Camela. Oh, let me
play that after the commercial break, Charlie Kirk brings up
the ad the only ad that really mattered is when
(09:51):
Trump Trump's team ran the video of Kamala supporting was
a transgender criminals game adding sex change operations. Yes, that's
what it was. That's a good idea and we should
pay for that. And the famous line at the end,
Kamla is for they them, Trump is for you. And
(10:13):
there has not been an ad that devastating in presidential
politics probably since the nineteen eighties and the Willie Horton
ads that George Bush the first rand and everybody knew
it as soon as you saw it, you knew it. Well.
Kirk talks to Newsom about that, and guess what, Kirk
didn't have to blow too hard on Newsom this time
(10:35):
either to get him to flip. We'll play that when
we come back.
Speaker 6 (10:40):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
John Cobelt Show, I Am six forty Live everywhere on
the iHeartRadio app. He probably wouldn't answer. We're continuing, how
with Gavin Newsom's second podcast. This is Gavin Newsom, brought
to you by iHeartRadio and available on the iHeartRadio app. Okay,
and I'm just I'm just doing easy publicity for the company, right, Yeah,
(11:09):
that's that's that's this is all promotional work here. So
Governor Newsom, the stick here is he has right wing guys,
guys from Trump's orbit orbit Maga conservative, and he wants
to find common ground. And in the first clip we played, uh,
Newsom did a flip just in a matter of seconds
because Charlie Kirk brought up the idea that you know, this,
(11:30):
the these these transgender, these these guys competing in girls
college sports. It's unfair. You got a guy winning the
girls long jump championship here in California. You can't be
for that. And there's some agreed with him. It's like, yeah,
that's unfair. That's fundamentally unfair. Uh all right, Uh, let's
continue and to set this up, uh, because it's about
(11:51):
Kamala and that famous transgender adh. Charlie Kirk tells Governor Newsom, Uh,
what comma I had to do to win? Play cut
two first.
Speaker 5 (12:04):
And the number one story that you know, James Carville,
whoeveryone takes seriously for some reason, should have been saying,
is like all Kamala Harris had to do, which is
do the same with younger voters that Joe Biden did in.
Speaker 4 (12:14):
Twenty twenty, and she would be president right now.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
And remind us what Joe Biden did in twenty twenty
thirteen points better.
Speaker 5 (12:19):
So in terms of just like, it's kind of a
combination of exit polling.
Speaker 4 (12:23):
So it's really it's a difficult science to pinpoint it.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
So that goes back then, I mean to your point.
In order to do that, you've got to stand for something.
You've got to assert yourself. You got to have a strategy,
and you got to implement it.
Speaker 4 (12:33):
I you also have to not believe crazy.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
Stuff and not believe crazy Let's go on to the
crazy stuff. How about what I mentioned before, Kamala at
one point in her life thought it was a good
idea that the tax payers pay for transgender prisoners to
get their sex reassignment surgery or is a gender of
firming surgery. I think they keep changing it. Play cut eight.
Speaker 5 (12:55):
The most effective ad of this election cycle, the most
effective ad.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
You know what it is?
Speaker 3 (12:58):
Yeah, they devastating. Trump's for you, She's for them, and
devastating again in the state, devastating and the state. Let's
talk and she didn't even react to it, which was
even more stated.
Speaker 5 (13:10):
Number one, it was the trans issue that was just
you know, monopolizing.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
And this was this was even more challenging because there's
issues of people that are incarcerated and illegal and illegal
incarcerated individuals getting taxpayer funded yes, and gender reassignment stations
that is a ninety ten not an able right.
Speaker 5 (13:28):
And then she's like enthusiastically defending, she bragging, being like,
I'm all for this, all all for.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
This, And then you had the video that it was
a validator brutal. Yeah, and so tensi millions brutal. And
then the targeted focus from the from the Trump campaign
next level.
Speaker 5 (13:43):
And then Charlotte comes out on Breakfast Club is like,
this is insane, and they ran it on NFL Football brilliant. Yes,
And so you're trying to reach men. It's not like
it's not this is a brilliant campaign commercial.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
It was brutal.
Speaker 4 (13:55):
Debis doesn't require it.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
We were running around just in the for the what
the hell it's worth for you? She was ag At
the time, she was addressing the issue of a legal settlement.
The courts were interviewing, still the happening, but she had
the video where in the video she was obviously expressed
support and sous.
Speaker 4 (14:14):
Being a cheerleader for a very popular thing.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
It was, and it was, it was a great ad.
Speaker 5 (14:20):
And I say that lately this isn't more political, and
I want to make sure this it's not just that
this was like the Willie Horton ad of the twenty
twenty four. It wasn't just like a leatwater brilliance. It's
that it reflected truth that the voters felt.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
Yeah, I appreciate it.
Speaker 4 (14:34):
And because because.
Speaker 5 (14:35):
Voters felt as if their country was slipping away, now
you have the Democrats have a choice. You could say
to those people you're racist, your Nazis, your fascist, You're terrible,
or you can listen and be like, why is it
that a steel worker in Pittsburgh who's voted Democrat his
entire life is voting for Trump despite all of you know,
the stuff that's been thrown at him.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
Yeah, and a rhetoric that he's thrown it at us.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
Yes, an end context, but it's it's it's a pattern
and the trans thing is just one of those things.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
Why he flipped on that real fast too. I don't
remember saying that about Kamala, that it was a brutal ad.
Brutal that didn't that didn't come up during the campaign.
Oh I heard were compliments for Kambla. In fact, there
is a clip out there We've never got a chance
to play where he predicted the day of the election
(15:26):
that Kamala was going to win. They just flat out
said Kamala's gonna win. So he was lying, He was
covering up his true feelings the whole time. He thought
the ad was devastating, brilliant, that the whole the whole
experience was brutal. Look at this he he you know,
(15:48):
he succeeded on this podcast. He's finding common ground and
he's also exposed himself as being a big phony because
he was doing all kinds of cheerleading for Kamala Harris.
He didn't say anything about her running a terrible campaign.
They mentioned James Carville, the Democratic strategist. He's at least honest.
He was saying it was a terrible campaign. While it
was happening. Newsom was pretending everything was wonderful. Illegal alien
(16:16):
prisoners getting sex change operations paid for by the taxpayers.
I don't think a comedy writer could make that up.
That's like so outrageous, as like some satirical parody, but
it's true and she was in favor of that. Well, okay,
(16:38):
now he's got a role here. Now in this cut
number nine, you're gonna hear it Newsom and Charlie Kirk
talking about I guess pronouns are in this in LATINX
and all that stuff. Or listen, listen to Newsom. He
just runs the table renouncing all his old positions.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
You said twenty twenty is when you started to see
the Democrats. It's sort of advanced this notion of wokeisms
when the awokening, the awokening really started.
Speaker 4 (17:05):
What was it? You know what I'm talking about?
Speaker 3 (17:07):
But so is it? Yes, the LATINX stuff that by
the way, now, one person ever in my office has
ever used the word LATINX.
Speaker 4 (17:13):
So can we finally put that to bad?
Speaker 1 (17:14):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (17:15):
But where did that even?
Speaker 3 (17:15):
Know? More Latin everybody? Well, I just didn't even know
where it came from. And like, what are people talking about?
Was it the pronouns? By the way, once once you'd
think California invented the frame of the program. Now I
mean literally I had one meeting where people started going
around the table protest one. There's been a hell of
a lot of days between twenty twenty and today and
one meeting, so it's not like this is I'm like,
(17:36):
what the hell is? Why is this the biggest issue?
Speaker 4 (17:38):
Well? In corporate America's everywhere? Okay, all right, but I did.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
In college campuses in must collegee. That's where you reside
a lot. In the college camps.
Speaker 5 (17:45):
You made a defund these schools if they're doing, like Jesus, okay.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
I can't believe this. I am identifying with Gavin Newsom
when I started hearing this pronoun stuff and people standing
up and going he him and she her, and I'm they,
where the hell did this come from? Why is everybody
doing it? They're putting at the at the bottom of
their emails by My kids in college were telling me
that the start of class, everyone's supposed to stand up
(18:12):
and announce their pronouns, like why, And I didn't even
get the pronouns. It's like, why is one person of
they them? I was actually debating this with one of
my sons. He was trying to explain to me, I go,
they is plural. That person is a singular. You can
call yourself whatever you want. But there's you know, simple
grammar here, there's singular and there's plural and Latin X.
(18:34):
I never heard that up until a few years ago,
and I've never run into anybody uses it. The only
time I'd see it was in the La Times, and
then I would hear it in newscasts, including our newscasts,
whenever there was a story on some wacko activist group.
And I'm thinking, how did this all become a standard?
Nobody knows what it means. Hispanic people don't use it.
(19:00):
Seven percent of Hispanic people in the poll said they
do not use this LATINX nonsense. And the X is
to include transgenders, right, because it's in Spanish, it's Latino
and Latina. That's the male and female differentiation in the language.
So males are Latinos and women are Latinas. But they
came up with latin X because some people are neither
(19:22):
male or female, and for that one tenth of one
percent of the population, they changed the designation for the
entire demographic. He's not done, he starts Kevin Newsom after
after let me let me count up what we've done
so far here, He's he's against trends, people males playing
(19:46):
in female sports. He's against woke language, Latin X pronouns.
Kamala Harris had a brutal campaign with his with her
gender reassignment surgery at and now he's going after Black
Lives matter. Holy like somebody dropped him on his head.
(20:08):
So we'll play you that clip and others coming up
the Gavin Newsom podcasts. You're getting a preview here. My
chilling hard enough for the company. I don't know how
much money they put into this, but I wanted to
do well. It's okay, he does well, we do well.
Speaker 6 (20:23):
You're listening to John Cobbel's on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
We are on every day from one to four, whether
you want us or not, and after four o'clock John
cobelt Show on demand the podcast same as the radio show,
the podcast on the iHeartRadio app. And my fellow podcast
met here at iHeart is Gavin Newsom. You guys are
best buds. Now we're on the same platform, and I'm
(20:50):
here to do an hour's worth of promotion for Gavin
Newsom's podcast since iHeart is hosting it and I'm trying
to disguise it as normal show, right, normal discussion about
news and politics. But really, I'm just trying to do
one for my teammate here.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
I think you should invite him on the show that.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
Well, I'm sure Ray has over the years, but you know,
Jesus never said yes.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
Well maybe he'll say he'll say yes now because you
guys are our coworkers.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
And I'm finding he's looking for areas of common ground,
yeah with opponents. Yes, And he has this podcast and
he's talking to this conservative podcaster host, activist, political organizer
gun named Charlie Kirk, young guy, thirty one years old,
and he wants he has Kirk on and he says
(21:40):
it's going to be the theme of the podcast, at
least for a while. He's going to have people from
the conservative side try to find common ground, try to
understand what's going on, because he accepts that Trump esteem
rolled the country and that if he wants to be
president's it's it's basic evolution. When you're threatened with extinction,
(22:02):
is adapt, migrate or die, right, And he knows that
die is very much possibility here. I don't know where
he's going to migrate to.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
But now let me ask you when he does finally
run for president and people start asking him questions about
what he said in the past.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
What's he going to say? He's probably gonna unleash an
avalanche of incomprehensible verbal diarrhea, which is what he does. Yeah,
that's right.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Maybe somebody needs to say, Okay, I'm sorry, I don't
understand what you're saying.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Can you can you?
Speaker 2 (22:39):
Can you repeat that in a way that we understand?
Speaker 1 (22:41):
And that's what I would do if I read a
conversation with him, I would do the same. I would say,
it's like, stop, I don't know what the hell you're
talking about?
Speaker 6 (22:47):
All right?
Speaker 1 (22:48):
What you want to try that again? In English? You
know he doesn't talk to his wife that way.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
Well, maybe he does. Maybe that's sexy talk.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
It must work for sexy time he produced were Kids Baby,
she goes wild over over that. Yeah, I know. I'll
take some notes there. Uh so, let's go back to
the Charlie. Uh, well, to the Gavin. This is Gavin
newsom is the name of the podcast? And what do
I want to do next? Here? Oh? Oh the homeless stuff?
Speaker 3 (23:18):
Right?
Speaker 1 (23:19):
Oh right? Blm okay, So in the previous clips, he
has a distance himself as they say from trends, gender
boys compete transgender boys to girls competing in girls sports. Okay,
so he's he's off that train. He's also sick of pronouns.
(23:42):
He's sick of latin x. He thought that the that
Kamala Kamala's campaign was not good because Trump destroyed her
on the gender reassignment surgery for prisoners and illegal aliens.
And and then yeah he read for it here. Uh
(24:02):
he starts talking about Black Lives Matter leaders.
Speaker 5 (24:05):
We saw pledging of billions of dollars of donations to
racial justice from the biggest types of corporations imaginable point.
Speaker 4 (24:13):
And that was sort of posts George Floyd. That's what
I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (24:15):
That's when, that's when that so you had you had
a combustible Was that wrong?
Speaker 3 (24:18):
I mean to address the issue of racial I mean
there was, there's legitimate issues as it relates to past practice.
Speaker 5 (24:24):
What was insulting, what was insulting to a lot of
people is number one, where's the money going? Because the
top premier BLM charity ended up being a racket with
Patrice Cullers, Like where'd that hundred million bucks go? So
all of a sudden, we learned that and all these
pledges of corporate dollars, we're going to this woman that's
like hiring her like brother for personal security, and that
like a lot of and you would even agree like.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
That that that became the poster number two.
Speaker 5 (24:47):
But number two, which I think was most important, was
that it was it elevated then this scholarly community that
was otherwise fringe, like Robin DiAngelo and other people. And
her book White Fragility Literal. Really the entire premise of
her book is that white people need he stopped being
so fragile about race. You need to sit down and
shut up and hear how racist you are. And she
was brought on tours to corporations across the country. And
(25:10):
by the way, just you understand, this was a phenomenon
over months and months, and it didn't quite catch up
in time for the twenty twenty election. I do believe
that if you guys would have been a little less
insane on crime in the summer of twenty, you would
have completely clavered us. In November of twenty, it was
like it was the riots that even made twenty twenty close.
But then it was the extension of all of the
(25:30):
what we would call woke stuff and defund police.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (25:33):
I mean Minneapolis literally had to hold a special vote
saying like should we still have a police department?
Speaker 3 (25:39):
Yeah? That's I mean, I mean, that's that was lunacy.
I mean, but go by the way. I by the way,
you're talking to someone who's never supported the defense.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
I know, but I was explicit, But oh my god,
defund the police's lunacy. I don't remember him saying that. Wow,
I never said that.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
Did he ever come out in support of defunding the
police because he said he never did.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
He never did. I don't remember him talking about it.
It was down here with Garcetti taking a knee and
Michael Moore, the police chief, taking a knee, But I
don't remember Garcetti. He's evolved. Wow, he's going along with
the idea that that Black Lives Matter was a racket
and a scam and defund the police. I can't even
count all. But he never talked about this. And what's
(26:22):
interesting is this is the first conversation I've ever heard
him have. It means, in six years, nobody in the
media ever ask him about all this stuff. That's why
for some of this we don't have a comparison audio
to play. Well, what did he used to think? What
he used to do? Nobody ever asked him because we
don't have we have this one way raw rod cheer
(26:44):
leading media throughout the state. Not everybody, but most of it.
And nobody ever thought to see what Newsom thought. They
just assumed, well, he's got progressive beliefs, and maybe he did,
but nobody even asked.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
You know what I'm wondering, is anybody going to ask
him things about the pandemic, because then we have lots
of things, lots of man dates, you know, eating putting
your mask, putting your mask back in between bites and
SIPs of a drink, right, we have a.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
Lot of that, and closing the schools for a year
and a half. Nobody ever questioned him about, Hey, what'd
you think that was going to do to kids? Year
and a half and no schools.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
Well, now, somebody like you, John, you should go on
this podcast ask him what he would do differently.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
Now, I can you know a joint podcast on like
something for that, we could do a simulcast on his
podcast and my podcast together, Oh, like a home and home, Yes, right,
a series. Let's play cut number twelve because Charlie Kirk
brings up news some running for president.
Speaker 3 (27:49):
If you were in my.
Speaker 5 (27:50):
Camp, what is not going to give you my best
advice I'll give you. I'll give you like the B
or sea level.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
Okay, give me, give me the B plus because the.
Speaker 5 (27:57):
Secret stuff I'm watching, No, when you've got what is
your secret stuff?
Speaker 3 (28:00):
But we'll go down to there.
Speaker 4 (28:01):
The secret for it is it?
Speaker 3 (28:02):
Is it technical? Or is it?
Speaker 5 (28:03):
It's all that I can design your presidential run in
a way we know this is not no.
Speaker 4 (28:09):
You got by the way.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
You guys are so obsessed with the idea that every
goddamn thing I do. I said it again. I said
it again because I needed your emotional reaction that everything
I do has is framed in that context. It's it's
a talk about it. You can trump de arrangement syndrome.
I think you got one with no. With California.
Speaker 5 (28:28):
First of all, it's not it's not new to have
someone from California to run for the presidency. We just
beat someone from California presidency. California is California is to politics.
To the Democrat Party as Florida, it's our party. You
guys have the speaker, the former Speaker of the House,
Nancy Pelosi. Right, you have, you have a lot of
the ascended political voices come out of the state.
Speaker 4 (28:45):
So it's derangement syndrome.
Speaker 5 (28:47):
It's no, it's knowing your enemy and looking at the
horizon and understanding what's coming.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
You said a bad word, by the way, I know
he took the lord's name in vain. Yes, you can
do that on podcasts, right, so anything goes. You could
drop the F bombs and the S bombs and the
MF bombs and all that stuff, and so he did.
I know, I know. That's what's so tantabizing about podcasts. Yeah,
it's you don't have to stop every ten minutes for
(29:12):
the news. You got some annoying newswoman breaking in four
times an hour, and then traffic and commercials. You can
just sit down and go on for three four hours.
You can go on all day and night, never stop
cursing all the way. All right, Uh, let's see what
are I got next? Well, you you mentioned the I
(29:34):
gotta take a break. You mentioned the lockdown, right, he
talks about the French.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
Laundry that when I was bringing that up, that's exactly
what I.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
Thought yes, and then uh, that still gets me mad,
and it gets it gets everybody mad. And then also
apparently when I knew some Suns is becoming like a
right wing maga kid, which is fat. It looks like
one of his sons is sick of sick of Gavin.
(30:04):
We'll talk about that when we come back. It happens.
I wanna believe some of the stuff my son's to think, Dawn,
I can only imagine. It's always rebellion. You always rebell
against the establishment.
Speaker 6 (30:16):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
Coming up right after two o'clock. Snapchat has been allowing
fentinyl dealers to sell drugs to teenagers. They you know,
the teens don't know that the pills they're buying are fentanyl.
They think the pills are a paint killer like percocet
(30:42):
or oxy codone, and then they pop one and they
end up dead. And sixty families whose teenagers died of
fentinyl poisoning are suing Snapchat. The parent companies called snap
based in Santa Monica, and the families say that the
company's responsible for the drug sales because they never did
(31:04):
anything to stop it. They didn't want to suppress the
massive engagement that teenagers have. And Stapchat, if you don't know,
is one of these social media services where somebody sends
you a video message I think it's what sixty seconds,
and then shortly thereafter the message disappears, which is perfect
(31:25):
for a drug dealer, because Snapchat actually has a social
media service where drug dealers can sell your kids drugs
that kill them and then the evidence of the sale disintegratesout.
I mean, isn't that wonderful. No psychopaths working at snap
(31:46):
in Santa Monica today. People should be real proud of yourself.
We have the attorney representing these families coming on right
after Deborah's news, Matthew Bergmann, all right, so that's next. Boy.
This Gavin Knew some podcasts has created so much material.
I don't know what to do. We have been playing
clips all hour. He has a podcast called This Is
(32:08):
Gavin Newsom. He's inviting right wing people on to find
common ground and Charlie Kirk, who's a political activist organizer
podcast host. He and Kirk talked freely, and Newsom ends
up backing off the idea that boys who transitioned to
(32:31):
girls he says, no, they shouldn't be in college sports
that biological men if they transition, they still shouldn't compete
against biological girls. What do you know? And he thinks
people obsessing on pronouns is ridiculous, and latin X is ridiculous,
(32:52):
and Kamala Harris, the way she conducted her campaign after
those gender reassignment commercials was really bad. Black Lives Matter
was a racket. I mean, he's lost his mind. But
here's what happens. Gavin is trying to run to the
center right so he could take a shot at the presidency.
(33:13):
So now the left wing lunatics are already angry. Fox
Learn anchor Alex Michaelson has posted this on Twitter. He's
posted a statement from that whack job California State Senator
Scott Wiener. Scott Wiener is behind most of the extremely irritating,
(33:35):
intrusive nanny state bills that we have been pelted with
over the last few years. He's this, this emaciated looking
weirdo who cannot any issue that invades our lives. He
jumps on that issue and he tries to tries as
hard as he could to change the way we live.
(33:56):
He's a real nut. Well, he's off at Gavin Newsom
for backing away the idea that trans people who are
born male shouldn't be in female sports, as even Newsom
says that's a ninety ten issue. So he writes, Charlie
Kirk is a vile bigot, and Newsom standing with him
(34:17):
on this issue is profoundly disturbing. The Republican strategy is
to eliminate trans people, to create fake moral panics, eliminate
trans people. No, they just said that if you're born
a guy, you don't get to compete in girls sports.
It's not they always turned to genocide. Everybody started screaming
genocide these days. The full statement is. This week, Democrats
(34:43):
in the US Senate took a courageous vote against the
bill to ban trans athletes. Some of it a great
political peril. They saw through the right wing bigotry. These
Democratic senators stood with trans people against this hate, understanding
the extreme danger that trans people are facing this country.
It's a little strong. You're just saying that if you're
(35:06):
born a guy, you can't play in girls sports. It's all.
That's obvious. Nobody has to explain. Charlie Kirk is a
vile bigot. Standing with him on this issue is profoundly disturbing.
These people are trans people, are trying to live their lives.
They're facing a level of political hostility that leads to
violent and homelessness. Wow, he's accusing a Newsome I guess
(35:29):
of inciting violence and homelessness against trans people. It's created
extreme danger. See, this is what happens. So much of
Newsome's audience are these insane progressive people, these super woke
people that he's never going to get the Democratic nomination.
(35:55):
He can't. He can't make it to run as president
because there's always going to be some buddy uh, insane
on the on the on the woke spectrum who ends
up winning these democratic primaries. Now he's stuck. I didn't
take one, all right, Well, you know what, three o'clock hour,
(36:17):
play more of these. I got so much other stuff today,
but I have to do my duty and help promote
iHeart podcasts. Jamie Pierret Jamie Perretta lost his son, Daniel
to a fentinyl poisoning. Daniel had bought some pills after
(36:40):
encountering a dealer on Snapchat. Sixty families who lost their
teenage children are suing snap based in Santa Monica, and
we're gonna have the attorney representing those families, Matthew Bergman,
because every day they're gonna calls from families who've lost
(37:02):
kids who bought drugs that they didn't know were laced
with fentanel on Snapchat, which is where someone sends you
a message and then the message disintegrates, goes poof no
evidence now against the drug dealer who just killed your
son or daughter. That's next. Deborah Mark live in the
KFI twenty four our newsroom. Hey, you've been listening to
(37:22):
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
I am six forty. You're listening to the John Cobel
podcast on the iHeartRadio app. We're on from one to
four every day here on KFI. And if for some
reason you do not hear the program, you may work.
We've found out that at least eleven percent of the
audience works so much. Yes, minimum could be more. We're
(00:23):
still doing the research. And if you are working and
you can't stream, that's option number two. Option number three
is the podcast after four o'clock. It's posted John Cobel's
show on demand, same as the radio show, and you
could hear everything you missed. Now, speaking of podcasts, the
podcast space is getting very crowded. I mean there's just
(00:45):
just hundreds of thousands of podcasts out there. I know
a number of people who have podcasts. Oh yeah, they
try it for I've noticed about.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Six episodes and what happens after that?
Speaker 1 (00:58):
They get tired because it's a lot of you know,
putting together a radio show, which basically is what a
you know, it's like a podcast, It's all really the same.
It takes a lot of preparation and I've telled people this.
Everybody thinks they can do this, and they usually can
for one day, right, right, they can't, and then the
big challenge is day two and day three it's like,
(01:21):
oh my god, I got to talk for three or
four hours every day. And you know, they have maybe
six episodes. They get twenty seven people, family and friends
to listen, and then they'd rather go gardening or something.
But Gavin Newsoon now has a podcast, and I haven't
(01:42):
figured out if he has two podcasts or this replaces
the old one.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Well, remember we at first I thought it replaced the
old one, but then I think Eric said he does
have two separate podcasts.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
He has one with a former football player, Marshawn Lynch,
and also a sports agent, the three of them. I've
never heard it. I don't know if it's any good.
I'm sure it's fascinating and I heart carries both podcasts
to point that out. Got a conflict of interesting. Then
he's got a new one called This is Gavin Newsom.
(02:16):
And the idea of this, at least for now, is
he's going to talk to Republican, conservative, MAGA, right wing whatever,
people that disagree with him. That's right, right, and he
wants to look for common ground. He said he was
inspired by Bill Maher's show on HBO, right see on
(02:36):
HBO and Bill Mar's got a great show, and mar
has found a lot of common ground with conservatives over
woke nonsense. So Newsom says, oh, you know what, I
like that idea, because Newsom now is done as California governor.
In terms of his interest in the job, he's just got,
(02:58):
you know, two years left twenty twenty sixth wa yeah,
two years left twenty twenty six November. He's he's, uh,
there's gonna be another election. There'll be a new governor
two years from two years from last January. What's he good?
You know, what's he gonna do? He thought he was
going to be the heir apparent to be president. He
(03:23):
was angling to try to work his way into the
whole mess over the summer in case Biden dropped out.
He could be anointed, Maybe he could be Kamo's vice president.
You know, he wanted to get in there because his
days are numbered as governor. Turned out, and he's not.
He doesn't like the job anymore. It's no fun. And
(03:45):
somewhere inside he must knows, he must know he's a
big failure at it, Like he's not gonna will you
think he thinks that. Yeah, really, yeah, I I because
he he he doesn't really brag about anything he's done.
He brags that. You know, California has the fifth largest
(04:06):
economy in the world, but he didn't. He didn't build
that and most of that tech world. We also have
the most poverty of the country. He knows homelessness is
out of control. He knows crime has been out of control.
He knows the taxes are way high, people in general
are unhappy. He knows this. He's not completely stupid, He's
(04:31):
and and so he just wants to do something else. Now,
how do you get to be president in this climate.
You're going to have to move to the middle. You're
gonna have to make some compromises. All right, Trump has
changed the world. Woke is dead, Progressivism is embarrassing except
in California. But he's got to appeal to the other
forty United States. He saw what happened to Kamala, Right,
(04:53):
Kamala plays great in Oakland or Marine County or the
West side of LA but you get you get out
in the real world there, Kamala was a dud. I mean,
she lost over sixty percent of the states. So he's thinking,
I get a podcast, I get another podcast. I'm going
to talk to conservatives. I'm going to talk to fought
(05:15):
leaders on the conservative side. Try to understand what they
why they think the way they do. Try to He
watches Fox News I've read obsessively, like every free minute.
He watches Fox News and disagrees allegedly with most of
the stuff but that he hears. But he wants to
know how they do it. You know, he thinks it's
a whole marketing mind manipulation, right. He thinks, you know,
(05:39):
without Fox News, Americans wouldn't believe in half the stuff
they believe in. And it's actually the other way around.
Fox News found a huge percentage of the country wasn't
being served. They already felt a lot of this, they
just never had an outlet that highlighted it. So he's
got it reversed. You can't tell the audience what to think.
(06:01):
That's not the way it works. So his first guest
is Charles Kirk, Charlie Kirk. You may not know him
unless you're in conservative maga circles. He is thirty one
years old, very young. He's got a media empire already,
He's got a podcast in a radio show that's very successful,
(06:21):
and he's the CEO of Turning Point Action and Turning
Point Academy, Turning Point Faith, and it's about developing these
programs to educate young people about the joys of conservative
thinking and again very successful at it. So Newsom wants
(06:42):
to talk to him, and we have some clips to play,
quite a few actually, because Newsom denounced many of the
things that he's believed in renounced. I guess is the
a lot of the I lood played progressive beliefs that
they've all had. Newsom realizes, well, that's a loser. Kamala
(07:06):
went splat with them. I think I'm going to start
changing my mind. And the one that grabbed a lot
of media attention was Newsome saying that the idea of
having transgender girls who are biologically boys having those transgender
girls compete in sports against biological girls maybe not a
(07:29):
good idea. Let's play cut six.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
What do you do, seriously, Charlie Kirk, give us some.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
Of the better ideas.
Speaker 5 (07:34):
Governor, like, for example, I mean, like, if you want
to like, you have an opportunity to like, you know,
run to the middle and see this man's obviously you're
talking to me of all people, it's like you right
now should come out and be like, you know what,
the young man who's about to win the state championship
in the long jump in female sports, that's that that
shouldn't happen. You as the governor should step out there
say no, no, And I appreciate, and but like, would
(07:54):
you do something like that, would you say no men
in female sports?
Speaker 3 (07:56):
Well, I think it's an issue of fairness. I completely
agree with you on that. It is an issue a
fair So it's deeply.
Speaker 5 (08:02):
Did you speak out against this young man, knight Baby Hernandez,
who right now is going to win the state championship
in the long time.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
I can see you're wrestling with it.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
No, I'm not wrestling. I'm not relation with the fairness issue.
I totally agree with you. By the way, as someone
with four kids, you got I think have two daughters, right,
two daughters had and a wife that went god forbid
to Stanford and played on the junior national soccer team.
And a guy who got into college only because I
was left handed, uh and could throw baseball a little
bit or the hit the ball for.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
A little bit.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
So I revere sports and so the issue of fairness
is completely legit. And I saw that the last couple
of years. Boy did I saw how you guys were
able to weaponize that.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
Issue at another weaponize don't that's that's.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Webinize, maybe, Pajordan of You're right right, you were able.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
To stop at that was fast, wasn't it. So Charlie
Kirk brings up one idea transgender Well, men becoming women
and competing in sports, and you've got this guy in
college who's winning the long jump championship in the state,
and why don't you come out and say something against him?
Boom nwsom's right there. It's like, that's a good idea, Charlie.
(09:06):
Your reps are absolutely right. He's never said anything about this.
He's always been reflex progressive, woke, transgender. And Kirk just
makes one suggestion. It's like, yeah, yeah, I think you're right. Yeah,
it's unfair, unfairness. It's a question that unfairness. Woh wow,
(09:28):
that's all it takes. Huh. You just blow on him hard, nothing,
he's gonna do a flip. Now. This is interesting because
this is where he turns on Camela. Oh, let me
play that after the commercial break, Charlie Kirk brings up
the ad the only ad that really mattered is when
(09:51):
Trump Trump's team ran the video of Kamala supporting was
a transgender criminals game adding sex change operations. Yes, that's
what it was. That's a good idea and we should
pay for that. And the famous line at the end,
Kamla is for they them, Trump is for you. And
(10:13):
there has not been an ad that devastating in presidential
politics probably since the nineteen eighties and the Willie Horton
ads that George Bush the first rand and everybody knew
it as soon as you saw it, you knew it. Well.
Kirk talks to Newsom about that, and guess what, Kirk
didn't have to blow too hard on Newsom this time
(10:35):
either to get him to flip. We'll play that when
we come back.
Speaker 6 (10:40):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
John Cobelt Show, I Am six forty Live everywhere on
the iHeartRadio app. He probably wouldn't answer. We're continuing, how
with Gavin Newsom's second podcast. This is Gavin Newsom, brought
to you by iHeartRadio and available on the iHeartRadio app. Okay,
and I'm just I'm just doing easy publicity for the company, right, Yeah,
(11:09):
that's that's that's this is all promotional work here. So
Governor Newsom, the stick here is he has right wing guys,
guys from Trump's orbit orbit Maga conservative, and he wants
to find common ground. And in the first clip we played, uh,
Newsom did a flip just in a matter of seconds
because Charlie Kirk brought up the idea that you know, this,
(11:30):
the these these transgender, these these guys competing in girls
college sports. It's unfair. You got a guy winning the
girls long jump championship here in California. You can't be
for that. And there's some agreed with him. It's like, yeah,
that's unfair. That's fundamentally unfair. Uh all right, Uh, let's
continue and to set this up, uh, because it's about
(11:51):
Kamala and that famous transgender adh. Charlie Kirk tells Governor Newsom, Uh,
what comma I had to do to win? Play cut
two first.
Speaker 5 (12:04):
And the number one story that you know, James Carville,
whoeveryone takes seriously for some reason, should have been saying,
is like all Kamala Harris had to do, which is
do the same with younger voters that Joe Biden did in.
Speaker 4 (12:14):
Twenty twenty, and she would be president right now.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
And remind us what Joe Biden did in twenty twenty
thirteen points better.
Speaker 5 (12:19):
So in terms of just like, it's kind of a
combination of exit polling.
Speaker 4 (12:23):
So it's really it's a difficult science to pinpoint it.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
So that goes back then, I mean to your point.
In order to do that, you've got to stand for something.
You've got to assert yourself. You got to have a strategy,
and you got to implement it.
Speaker 4 (12:33):
I you also have to not believe crazy.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
Stuff and not believe crazy Let's go on to the
crazy stuff. How about what I mentioned before, Kamala at
one point in her life thought it was a good
idea that the tax payers pay for transgender prisoners to
get their sex reassignment surgery or is a gender of
firming surgery. I think they keep changing it. Play cut eight.
Speaker 5 (12:55):
The most effective ad of this election cycle, the most
effective ad.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
You know what it is?
Speaker 3 (12:58):
Yeah, they devastating. Trump's for you, She's for them, and
devastating again in the state, devastating and the state. Let's
talk and she didn't even react to it, which was
even more stated.
Speaker 5 (13:10):
Number one, it was the trans issue that was just
you know, monopolizing.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
And this was this was even more challenging because there's
issues of people that are incarcerated and illegal and illegal
incarcerated individuals getting taxpayer funded yes, and gender reassignment stations
that is a ninety ten not an able right.
Speaker 5 (13:28):
And then she's like enthusiastically defending, she bragging, being like,
I'm all for this, all all for.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
This, And then you had the video that it was
a validator brutal. Yeah, and so tensi millions brutal. And
then the targeted focus from the from the Trump campaign
next level.
Speaker 5 (13:43):
And then Charlotte comes out on Breakfast Club is like,
this is insane, and they ran it on NFL Football brilliant. Yes,
And so you're trying to reach men. It's not like
it's not this is a brilliant campaign commercial.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
It was brutal.
Speaker 4 (13:55):
Debis doesn't require it.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
We were running around just in the for the what
the hell it's worth for you? She was ag At
the time, she was addressing the issue of a legal settlement.
The courts were interviewing, still the happening, but she had
the video where in the video she was obviously expressed
support and sous.
Speaker 4 (14:14):
Being a cheerleader for a very popular thing.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
It was, and it was, it was a great ad.
Speaker 5 (14:20):
And I say that lately this isn't more political, and
I want to make sure this it's not just that
this was like the Willie Horton ad of the twenty
twenty four. It wasn't just like a leatwater brilliance. It's
that it reflected truth that the voters felt.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
Yeah, I appreciate it.
Speaker 4 (14:34):
And because because.
Speaker 5 (14:35):
Voters felt as if their country was slipping away, now
you have the Democrats have a choice. You could say
to those people you're racist, your Nazis, your fascist, You're terrible,
or you can listen and be like, why is it
that a steel worker in Pittsburgh who's voted Democrat his
entire life is voting for Trump despite all of you know,
the stuff that's been thrown at him.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
Yeah, and a rhetoric that he's thrown it at us.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
Yes, an end context, but it's it's it's a pattern
and the trans thing is just one of those things.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
Why he flipped on that real fast too. I don't
remember saying that about Kamala, that it was a brutal ad.
Brutal that didn't that didn't come up during the campaign.
Oh I heard were compliments for Kambla. In fact, there
is a clip out there We've never got a chance
to play where he predicted the day of the election
(15:26):
that Kamala was going to win. They just flat out
said Kamala's gonna win. So he was lying, He was
covering up his true feelings the whole time. He thought
the ad was devastating, brilliant, that the whole the whole
experience was brutal. Look at this he he you know,
(15:48):
he succeeded on this podcast. He's finding common ground and
he's also exposed himself as being a big phony because
he was doing all kinds of cheerleading for Kamala Harris.
He didn't say anything about her running a terrible campaign.
They mentioned James Carville, the Democratic strategist. He's at least honest.
He was saying it was a terrible campaign. While it
was happening. Newsom was pretending everything was wonderful. Illegal alien
(16:16):
prisoners getting sex change operations paid for by the taxpayers.
I don't think a comedy writer could make that up.
That's like so outrageous, as like some satirical parody, but
it's true and she was in favor of that. Well, okay,
(16:38):
now he's got a role here. Now in this cut
number nine, you're gonna hear it Newsom and Charlie Kirk
talking about I guess pronouns are in this in LATINX
and all that stuff. Or listen, listen to Newsom. He
just runs the table renouncing all his old positions.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
You said twenty twenty is when you started to see
the Democrats. It's sort of advanced this notion of wokeisms
when the awokening, the awokening really started.
Speaker 4 (17:05):
What was it? You know what I'm talking about?
Speaker 3 (17:07):
But so is it? Yes, the LATINX stuff that by
the way, now, one person ever in my office has
ever used the word LATINX.
Speaker 4 (17:13):
So can we finally put that to bad?
Speaker 1 (17:14):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (17:15):
But where did that even?
Speaker 3 (17:15):
Know? More Latin everybody? Well, I just didn't even know
where it came from. And like, what are people talking about?
Was it the pronouns? By the way, once once you'd
think California invented the frame of the program. Now I
mean literally I had one meeting where people started going
around the table protest one. There's been a hell of
a lot of days between twenty twenty and today and
one meeting, so it's not like this is I'm like,
(17:36):
what the hell is? Why is this the biggest issue?
Speaker 4 (17:38):
Well? In corporate America's everywhere? Okay, all right, but I did.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
In college campuses in must collegee. That's where you reside
a lot. In the college camps.
Speaker 5 (17:45):
You made a defund these schools if they're doing, like Jesus, okay.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
I can't believe this. I am identifying with Gavin Newsom
when I started hearing this pronoun stuff and people standing
up and going he him and she her, and I'm they,
where the hell did this come from? Why is everybody
doing it? They're putting at the at the bottom of
their emails by My kids in college were telling me
that the start of class, everyone's supposed to stand up
(18:12):
and announce their pronouns, like why, And I didn't even
get the pronouns. It's like, why is one person of
they them? I was actually debating this with one of
my sons. He was trying to explain to me, I go,
they is plural. That person is a singular. You can
call yourself whatever you want. But there's you know, simple
grammar here, there's singular and there's plural and Latin X.
(18:34):
I never heard that up until a few years ago,
and I've never run into anybody uses it. The only
time I'd see it was in the La Times, and
then I would hear it in newscasts, including our newscasts,
whenever there was a story on some wacko activist group.
And I'm thinking, how did this all become a standard?
Nobody knows what it means. Hispanic people don't use it.
(19:00):
Seven percent of Hispanic people in the poll said they
do not use this LATINX nonsense. And the X is
to include transgenders, right, because it's in Spanish, it's Latino
and Latina. That's the male and female differentiation in the language.
So males are Latinos and women are Latinas. But they
came up with latin X because some people are neither
(19:22):
male or female, and for that one tenth of one
percent of the population, they changed the designation for the
entire demographic. He's not done, he starts Kevin Newsom after
after let me let me count up what we've done
so far here, He's he's against trends, people males playing
(19:46):
in female sports. He's against woke language, Latin X pronouns.
Kamala Harris had a brutal campaign with his with her
gender reassignment surgery at and now he's going after Black
Lives matter. Holy like somebody dropped him on his head.
(20:08):
So we'll play you that clip and others coming up
the Gavin Newsom podcasts. You're getting a preview here. My
chilling hard enough for the company. I don't know how
much money they put into this, but I wanted to
do well. It's okay, he does well, we do well.
Speaker 6 (20:23):
You're listening to John Cobbel's on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
We are on every day from one to four, whether
you want us or not, and after four o'clock John
cobelt Show on demand the podcast same as the radio show,
the podcast on the iHeartRadio app. And my fellow podcast
met here at iHeart is Gavin Newsom. You guys are
best buds. Now we're on the same platform, and I'm
(20:50):
here to do an hour's worth of promotion for Gavin
Newsom's podcast since iHeart is hosting it and I'm trying
to disguise it as normal show, right, normal discussion about
news and politics. But really, I'm just trying to do
one for my teammate here.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
I think you should invite him on the show that.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
Well, I'm sure Ray has over the years, but you know,
Jesus never said yes.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
Well maybe he'll say he'll say yes now because you
guys are our coworkers.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
And I'm finding he's looking for areas of common ground,
yeah with opponents. Yes, And he has this podcast and
he's talking to this conservative podcaster host, activist, political organizer
gun named Charlie Kirk, young guy, thirty one years old,
and he wants he has Kirk on and he says
(21:40):
it's going to be the theme of the podcast, at
least for a while. He's going to have people from
the conservative side try to find common ground, try to
understand what's going on, because he accepts that Trump esteem
rolled the country and that if he wants to be
president's it's it's basic evolution. When you're threatened with extinction,
(22:02):
is adapt, migrate or die, right, And he knows that
die is very much possibility here. I don't know where
he's going to migrate to.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
But now let me ask you when he does finally
run for president and people start asking him questions about
what he said in the past.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
What's he going to say? He's probably gonna unleash an
avalanche of incomprehensible verbal diarrhea, which is what he does. Yeah,
that's right.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Maybe somebody needs to say, Okay, I'm sorry, I don't
understand what you're saying.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Can you can you?
Speaker 2 (22:39):
Can you repeat that in a way that we understand?
Speaker 1 (22:41):
And that's what I would do if I read a
conversation with him, I would do the same. I would say,
it's like, stop, I don't know what the hell you're
talking about?
Speaker 6 (22:47):
All right?
Speaker 1 (22:48):
What you want to try that again? In English? You
know he doesn't talk to his wife that way.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
Well, maybe he does. Maybe that's sexy talk.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
It must work for sexy time he produced were Kids Baby,
she goes wild over over that. Yeah, I know. I'll
take some notes there. Uh so, let's go back to
the Charlie. Uh, well, to the Gavin. This is Gavin
newsom is the name of the podcast? And what do
I want to do next? Here? Oh? Oh the homeless stuff?
Speaker 3 (23:18):
Right?
Speaker 1 (23:19):
Oh right? Blm okay, So in the previous clips, he
has a distance himself as they say from trends, gender
boys compete transgender boys to girls competing in girls sports. Okay,
so he's he's off that train. He's also sick of pronouns.
(23:42):
He's sick of latin x. He thought that the that
Kamala Kamala's campaign was not good because Trump destroyed her
on the gender reassignment surgery for prisoners and illegal aliens.
And and then yeah he read for it here. Uh
(24:02):
he starts talking about Black Lives Matter leaders.
Speaker 5 (24:05):
We saw pledging of billions of dollars of donations to
racial justice from the biggest types of corporations imaginable point.
Speaker 4 (24:13):
And that was sort of posts George Floyd. That's what
I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (24:15):
That's when, that's when that so you had you had
a combustible Was that wrong?
Speaker 3 (24:18):
I mean to address the issue of racial I mean
there was, there's legitimate issues as it relates to past practice.
Speaker 5 (24:24):
What was insulting, what was insulting to a lot of
people is number one, where's the money going? Because the
top premier BLM charity ended up being a racket with
Patrice Cullers, Like where'd that hundred million bucks go? So
all of a sudden, we learned that and all these
pledges of corporate dollars, we're going to this woman that's
like hiring her like brother for personal security, and that
like a lot of and you would even agree like.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
That that that became the poster number two.
Speaker 5 (24:47):
But number two, which I think was most important, was
that it was it elevated then this scholarly community that
was otherwise fringe, like Robin DiAngelo and other people. And
her book White Fragility Literal. Really the entire premise of
her book is that white people need he stopped being
so fragile about race. You need to sit down and
shut up and hear how racist you are. And she
was brought on tours to corporations across the country. And
(25:10):
by the way, just you understand, this was a phenomenon
over months and months, and it didn't quite catch up
in time for the twenty twenty election. I do believe
that if you guys would have been a little less
insane on crime in the summer of twenty, you would
have completely clavered us. In November of twenty, it was
like it was the riots that even made twenty twenty close.
But then it was the extension of all of the
(25:30):
what we would call woke stuff and defund police.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (25:33):
I mean Minneapolis literally had to hold a special vote
saying like should we still have a police department?
Speaker 3 (25:39):
Yeah? That's I mean, I mean, that's that was lunacy.
I mean, but go by the way. I by the way,
you're talking to someone who's never supported the defense.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
I know, but I was explicit, But oh my god,
defund the police's lunacy. I don't remember him saying that. Wow,
I never said that.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
Did he ever come out in support of defunding the
police because he said he never did.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
He never did. I don't remember him talking about it.
It was down here with Garcetti taking a knee and
Michael Moore, the police chief, taking a knee, But I
don't remember Garcetti. He's evolved. Wow, he's going along with
the idea that that Black Lives Matter was a racket
and a scam and defund the police. I can't even
count all. But he never talked about this. And what's
(26:22):
interesting is this is the first conversation I've ever heard
him have. It means, in six years, nobody in the
media ever ask him about all this stuff. That's why
for some of this we don't have a comparison audio
to play. Well, what did he used to think? What
he used to do? Nobody ever asked him because we
don't have we have this one way raw rod cheer
(26:44):
leading media throughout the state. Not everybody, but most of it.
And nobody ever thought to see what Newsom thought. They
just assumed, well, he's got progressive beliefs, and maybe he did,
but nobody even asked.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
You know what I'm wondering, is anybody going to ask
him things about the pandemic, because then we have lots
of things, lots of man dates, you know, eating putting
your mask, putting your mask back in between bites and
SIPs of a drink, right, we have a.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
Lot of that, and closing the schools for a year
and a half. Nobody ever questioned him about, Hey, what'd
you think that was going to do to kids? Year
and a half and no schools.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
Well, now, somebody like you, John, you should go on
this podcast ask him what he would do differently.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
Now, I can you know a joint podcast on like
something for that, we could do a simulcast on his
podcast and my podcast together, Oh, like a home and home, Yes, right,
a series. Let's play cut number twelve because Charlie Kirk
brings up news some running for president.
Speaker 3 (27:49):
If you were in my.
Speaker 5 (27:50):
Camp, what is not going to give you my best
advice I'll give you. I'll give you like the B
or sea level.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
Okay, give me, give me the B plus because the.
Speaker 5 (27:57):
Secret stuff I'm watching, No, when you've got what is
your secret stuff?
Speaker 3 (28:00):
But we'll go down to there.
Speaker 4 (28:01):
The secret for it is it?
Speaker 3 (28:02):
Is it technical? Or is it?
Speaker 5 (28:03):
It's all that I can design your presidential run in
a way we know this is not no.
Speaker 4 (28:09):
You got by the way.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
You guys are so obsessed with the idea that every
goddamn thing I do. I said it again. I said
it again because I needed your emotional reaction that everything
I do has is framed in that context. It's it's
a talk about it. You can trump de arrangement syndrome.
I think you got one with no. With California.
Speaker 5 (28:28):
First of all, it's not it's not new to have
someone from California to run for the presidency. We just
beat someone from California presidency. California is California is to politics.
To the Democrat Party as Florida, it's our party. You
guys have the speaker, the former Speaker of the House,
Nancy Pelosi. Right, you have, you have a lot of
the ascended political voices come out of the state.
Speaker 4 (28:45):
So it's derangement syndrome.
Speaker 5 (28:47):
It's no, it's knowing your enemy and looking at the
horizon and understanding what's coming.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
You said a bad word, by the way, I know
he took the lord's name in vain. Yes, you can
do that on podcasts, right, so anything goes. You could
drop the F bombs and the S bombs and the
MF bombs and all that stuff, and so he did.
I know, I know. That's what's so tantabizing about podcasts. Yeah,
it's you don't have to stop every ten minutes for
(29:12):
the news. You got some annoying newswoman breaking in four
times an hour, and then traffic and commercials. You can
just sit down and go on for three four hours.
You can go on all day and night, never stop
cursing all the way. All right, Uh, let's see what
are I got next? Well, you you mentioned the I
(29:34):
gotta take a break. You mentioned the lockdown, right, he
talks about the French.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
Laundry that when I was bringing that up, that's exactly
what I.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
Thought yes, and then uh, that still gets me mad,
and it gets it gets everybody mad. And then also
apparently when I knew some Suns is becoming like a
right wing maga kid, which is fat. It looks like
one of his sons is sick of sick of Gavin.
(30:04):
We'll talk about that when we come back. It happens.
I wanna believe some of the stuff my son's to think, Dawn,
I can only imagine. It's always rebellion. You always rebell
against the establishment.
Speaker 6 (30:16):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
Coming up right after two o'clock. Snapchat has been allowing
fentinyl dealers to sell drugs to teenagers. They you know,
the teens don't know that the pills they're buying are fentanyl.
They think the pills are a paint killer like percocet
(30:42):
or oxy codone, and then they pop one and they
end up dead. And sixty families whose teenagers died of
fentinyl poisoning are suing Snapchat. The parent companies called snap
based in Santa Monica, and the families say that the
company's responsible for the drug sales because they never did
(31:04):
anything to stop it. They didn't want to suppress the
massive engagement that teenagers have. And Stapchat, if you don't know,
is one of these social media services where somebody sends
you a video message I think it's what sixty seconds,
and then shortly thereafter the message disappears, which is perfect
(31:25):
for a drug dealer, because Snapchat actually has a social
media service where drug dealers can sell your kids drugs
that kill them and then the evidence of the sale disintegratesout.
I mean, isn't that wonderful. No psychopaths working at snap
(31:46):
in Santa Monica today. People should be real proud of yourself.
We have the attorney representing these families coming on right
after Deborah's news, Matthew Bergmann, all right, so that's next. Boy.
This Gavin Knew some podcasts has created so much material.
I don't know what to do. We have been playing
clips all hour. He has a podcast called This Is
(32:08):
Gavin Newsom. He's inviting right wing people on to find
common ground and Charlie Kirk, who's a political activist organizer
podcast host. He and Kirk talked freely, and Newsom ends
up backing off the idea that boys who transitioned to
(32:31):
girls he says, no, they shouldn't be in college sports
that biological men if they transition, they still shouldn't compete
against biological girls. What do you know? And he thinks
people obsessing on pronouns is ridiculous, and latin X is ridiculous,
(32:52):
and Kamala Harris, the way she conducted her campaign after
those gender reassignment commercials was really bad. Black Lives Matter
was a racket. I mean, he's lost his mind. But
here's what happens. Gavin is trying to run to the
center right so he could take a shot at the presidency.
(33:13):
So now the left wing lunatics are already angry. Fox
Learn anchor Alex Michaelson has posted this on Twitter. He's
posted a statement from that whack job California State Senator
Scott Wiener. Scott Wiener is behind most of the extremely irritating,
(33:35):
intrusive nanny state bills that we have been pelted with
over the last few years. He's this, this emaciated looking
weirdo who cannot any issue that invades our lives. He
jumps on that issue and he tries to tries as
hard as he could to change the way we live.
(33:56):
He's a real nut. Well, he's off at Gavin Newsom
for backing away the idea that trans people who are
born male shouldn't be in female sports, as even Newsom
says that's a ninety ten issue. So he writes, Charlie
Kirk is a vile bigot, and Newsom standing with him
(34:17):
on this issue is profoundly disturbing. The Republican strategy is
to eliminate trans people, to create fake moral panics, eliminate
trans people. No, they just said that if you're born
a guy, you don't get to compete in girls sports.
It's not they always turned to genocide. Everybody started screaming
genocide these days. The full statement is. This week, Democrats
(34:43):
in the US Senate took a courageous vote against the
bill to ban trans athletes. Some of it a great
political peril. They saw through the right wing bigotry. These
Democratic senators stood with trans people against this hate, understanding
the extreme danger that trans people are facing this country.
It's a little strong. You're just saying that if you're
(35:06):
born a guy, you can't play in girls sports. It's all.
That's obvious. Nobody has to explain. Charlie Kirk is a
vile bigot. Standing with him on this issue is profoundly disturbing.
These people are trans people, are trying to live their lives.
They're facing a level of political hostility that leads to
violent and homelessness. Wow, he's accusing a Newsome I guess
(35:29):
of inciting violence and homelessness against trans people. It's created
extreme danger. See, this is what happens. So much of
Newsome's audience are these insane progressive people, these super woke
people that he's never going to get the Democratic nomination.
(35:55):
He can't. He can't make it to run as president
because there's always going to be some buddy uh, insane
on the on the on the woke spectrum who ends
up winning these democratic primaries. Now he's stuck. I didn't
take one, all right, Well, you know what, three o'clock hour,
(36:17):
play more of these. I got so much other stuff today,
but I have to do my duty and help promote
iHeart podcasts. Jamie Pierret Jamie Perretta lost his son, Daniel
to a fentinyl poisoning. Daniel had bought some pills after
(36:40):
encountering a dealer on Snapchat. Sixty families who lost their
teenage children are suing snap based in Santa Monica, and
we're gonna have the attorney representing those families, Matthew Bergman,
because every day they're gonna calls from families who've lost
(37:02):
kids who bought drugs that they didn't know were laced
with fentanel on Snapchat, which is where someone sends you
a message and then the message disintegrates, goes poof no
evidence now against the drug dealer who just killed your
son or daughter. That's next. Deborah Mark live in the
KFI twenty four our newsroom. Hey, you've been listening to
