30
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 3: No? I still have a few things that I'm still

31
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 3: doing there, but I'm trying to liquidate everything and move

32
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 3: to Oklahoma as a permanent business place and opportunities.

33
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 1: So what made you want to transition your life and

34
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:09,639
Speaker 1: your business to Oklahoma and get out get out of California.

35
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 3: Well, I've been in business since nineteen ninety five with

36
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,839
Speaker 3: funeral home company. Wudn't think there'd be many regulations there,

37
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 3: but with all the climate of California and the negative

38
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:26,519
Speaker 3: stuff that's happening between workers comp and pogo lawsuits and

39
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 3: anything and everything else, it's just made it really hard

40
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:33,639
Speaker 3: for businesses. And I went to Oklahoma. I ended up

41
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 3: being in I bought some commercial industrial land and I'm

42
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:41,079
Speaker 3: selling part of it to a power plant and data Center.

43
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 3: We're working on that program right now. And then I

44
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:48,080
Speaker 3: ended up wanted to develop my my industrial park, and

45
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,239
Speaker 3: then I ended up at the governor's mansion. I said

46
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 3: to the governor, Hey, you want to go to California?

47
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 3: I said, Newsom's got this state so screwed up. You know,

48
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 3: there's a lot of opportunities, and why not get out

49
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 3: of get people who go to Oklahoma versus Texas. And

50
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:05,279
Speaker 3: this is actually the first time in the state where

51
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 3: more people are leaving Texas going to Oklahoma than they

52
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 3: are Oklahoma going to Texas.

53
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 2: Oh so a lot of people are leaving Texas to

54
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 2: go to Oklahoma.

55
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 3: Now it's the first time that it's reversed.

56
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 2: I see.

57
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,959
Speaker 3: So yeah, yeah, we're open for business there.

58
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:23,800
Speaker 2: All right, Well, and what kind of company you run again?

59
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:29,799
Speaker 3: Right now? It's I'm doing a development with commercial industrial space.

60
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 3: It's the golden age of manufacturing and it's the low

61
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 3: cost of doing business. So I basically bought this industrial

62
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 3: park to try to relocate people. With Trump's new program

63
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 3: and trying to get the industry going and manufacturing going,

64
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 3: we want to be a supply chain for the Air

65
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 3: Force area, and so we're looking for businesses that do manufacturing,

66
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 3: that create good jobs, that want to relocate.

67
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: All right, talk about the advantages of Oklahoma versus California

68
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 1: or a business, especially a manufacturing business, since that's what

69
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 1: you were you were discussing, like what is better in Oklahoma?

70
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 2: Why is it better?

71
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 3: Well, I'll give you one example. If you're a business

72
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 3: that has fifty employees, and you have fifty employees, the

73
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:19,159
Speaker 3: state of Oklahoma currently has grants available that if you

74
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 3: relocate paid twenty four dollars an hour average with some

75
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 3: healthcare over a ten year period, they're going to give

76
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 3: you close to three million dollars in rebates three hundred

77
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 3: grand a year. I mean that's just one part of it.

78
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,719
Speaker 3: If you're a manufacturer, there's manufacturing grants. I mean, this

79
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 3: state is it's unbelievable. I've seen all this stuff, not

80
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 3: counting workers comp and different things like that are lower.

81
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 3: They actually now have a worker's comp court that business

82
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 3: owners that you can't just go file workers comp You

83
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 3: got to deal with with this court that's governed by

84
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 3: business owners to see if these things are real or not.

85
00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 3: And that's what really makes it nice. So it's just

86
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:04,160
Speaker 3: a much friendlier climate to do business. And when you're

87
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,600
Speaker 3: in Oklahoma, you see the LA fires and everything burning up,

88
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:09,280
Speaker 3: you know, and you turn around and say, I can

89
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,359
Speaker 3: get a building permit in ten working days on a

90
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:13,279
Speaker 3: fifty thousand square foot building.

91
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 1: Wait wait, wait, hold on, stop right there, you can

92
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 1: get a building permit fifty thousand square foot facility in

93
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 1: ten days ten days.

94
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:23,600
Speaker 3: In Chickashe, Oklahoma. Right now.

95
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 2: Yep, you mentioned the screaming going on in the Palisades

96
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 2: right now.

97
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh.

98
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 1: People want to build a replica of their old home

99
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 1: in the Palisades and they can't get the permit.

100
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 3: Right the regulations is. It's sad thinking that I was

101
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 3: going to live and dine in California to leave here

102
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:48,360
Speaker 3: because of the business climate.

103
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 2: And the land is obviously much less.

104
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 3: Expensive, absolutely, you know. I'll give you an example in Fontana,

105
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 3: which used to be the area that's really was not

106
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 3: desirable industrial spaces. Found out the other day it's like

107
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 3: seven hundred and fifty thousand and acre and I'm selling

108
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 3: one acre. I can go up to however many acres

109
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:15,479
Speaker 3: you want for one hundred and twenty five thousand acre,

110
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:21,279
Speaker 3: which includes a water meter and sewer, So it's the

111
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:24,720
Speaker 3: cost of doing business so much less there than it

112
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 3: is here.

113
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 1: Plus the living is less. Taxes are way less. What's

114
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 1: your income taxes like? For individuals and for corporate? Do

115
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:33,040
Speaker 1: you know the number?

116
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 3: Four point seventy five percent state income tax? And the

117
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,839
Speaker 3: governor you can ask him tomorrow, but he is working

118
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,679
Speaker 3: on a path to zero state income tax.

119
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 1: It's at four point seventy five right now? Yeah, oh

120
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 1: that hurts.

121
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, what we what do we have? Three thirteen

122
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 3: point three?

123
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, actually there's there's a super tax level over fourteen

124
00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:01,600
Speaker 1: now yeah, oh my god. So well, I mean it's

125
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 1: it's it's very it's a very inviting package that you're

126

142
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 1: all the other states are getting involved. I mean I heard,

143
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 1: you know, Rob Low, the actor, he has a podcast

144
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 1: and I just heard a little clip of it. You know,

145
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 1: he went to he's hosting a game show and he

146
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 1: taped the whole game show in Ireland, the whole series.

147
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 1: You wouldn't think game shows are costly, right, but I

148
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 1: heard him say it was cheaper to get everybody to Ireland,

149
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 1: that it would be just to go down to the

150
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 1: other end of the Fox.

151
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:35,320
Speaker 2: Lot and tape the show.

152
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 1: Because of all the ridiculous costs in California that California had.

153
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 1: You know, they were offering forty percent tax credits in

154
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 1: other states and countries where California was offering nothing. And

155
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:57,680
Speaker 1: there's the Hollywood business is dying rapidly, and Newsom was

156
00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 1: way late with his tax credit deal. And now you

157
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:06,679
Speaker 1: heard chet there. I mean, you have no idea how

158
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 1: businesses are fleeing California and they're headed to Texas, in

159
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:12,960
Speaker 1: Florida and Tennessee. And you may hear somebody going, yeah, well,

160
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 1: we got the largest economy. It's extremely weighted towards the

161
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:24,840
Speaker 1: mega tech companies like Google and Meta and Tesla and Nvidia,

162
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:26,959
Speaker 1: extremely weighted there.

163
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 2: The rest of the rest of the state, we're in

164
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 2: bad shape.

165
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 1: That's one of the most distorted, ridiculous, absurd statistics that

166
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:40,200
Speaker 1: Newsome and his sycophants parrot.

167
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:41,679
Speaker 2: More coming up.

168
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI Am

169
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:47,320
Speaker 4: six forty.

170
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:52,080
Speaker 1: We're just talking about how the governor of Oklahoma, who

171
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 1: will be on our show tomorrow, is coming to Los

172
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:58,960
Speaker 1: Angeles to speak to business people at the Downtown Athletic

173
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:04,200
Speaker 1: Club to to help lure them to Oklahoma and bring

174
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 1: their businesses and their manufacturing plants. And uh because Oklahoma,

175
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:14,960
Speaker 1: I mean, they've got inexpensive land, very low taxes, they

176
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 1: have apparently a strong workforce, and they're just building themselves

177
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 1: for growth and low regulation. I can't tell you. Regulation

178
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 1: is hard to explain on the radio. I've never really

179
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 1: figured out a way. It is so complicated in each

180
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:40,840
Speaker 1: specific specific business. But it's a lot of nonsense. It's

181
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 1: a lot of control. Well, it's it's control freaks with

182
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 1: obsessive compulsive disorders.

183
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 3: You know.

184
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 1: That's that's a real mental disturbance. And they end up

185
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 1: in government because they have to control how other people

186
00:10:56,720 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 1: run their industries, how you do your business. And they

187
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,560
Speaker 1: all end up in government and they're just miserable, awful people.

188
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 1: And instead of you know, getting on some kind of

189
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:13,239
Speaker 1: anti psychotic drug, they make everybody else miserable with their obsessions,

190
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 1: you know, and their causes and their political stuff.

191
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,440
Speaker 2: What climate change is about. Climate change is just an.

192
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 1: Excuse for all the uh, all the most irritating control

193
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 1: freaks in life to have a cause to justify why

194
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:32,679
Speaker 1: they're telling you what to do and why they're taxing

195
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:35,439
Speaker 1: you extra money for it. It's it's this is all

196
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:39,959
Speaker 1: everything's a mental disorder. Now you have that, right, Yeah,

197
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:43,960
Speaker 1: you have these businesses that are leaving, and now you

198
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 1: have tourists who are not coming to la very much anymore.

199
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 1: Two separate articles, one of the La Times one of

200
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 1: the Daily Mail in London about how tourism in LA

201
00:11:55,640 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 1: has dropped by a significant amount international tourists down eight percent.

202
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 1: Eight percent doesn't sound like a big number. That's one

203
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy thousand fewer tourists internationally than last year,

204
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 1: one hundred and seventy thousand, and that's just through August

205
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:22,479
Speaker 1: and LA Times. Who is this Serrus Davies serious? Ce Rys,

206
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 1: I don't know, man, woman. Nobody has a normal name anymore.

207
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 1: This person writes this lengthy article without and focuses some

208
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 1: of it on Hollywood Boulevard without ever once mentioning all

209
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 1: the mental patients and drug addicts that line Hollywood Boulevard

210
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 1: and are absolutely terrifying. I know this firsthand. We like

211
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:57,200
Speaker 1: going to the Hollywood Bowl and we tend to park

212
00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 1: it a lot on Hollywood Boulevard. Otherwise you're paying one

213
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:06,720
Speaker 1: hundred dollars for a parking space, and so the parking

214
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 1: is cheaper, and we don't mind walking up Highland Avenue

215
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 1: up the hill. But oh my god, the crazy people,

216
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 1: and they used to just be out at night. Now

217
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 1: they're out during the day. And Karen Bass is just shameless,

218
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:25,560
Speaker 1: and so are these jackasses and city council. You have

219
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:29,079
Speaker 1: like one of the greatest tourist attractions in the world

220
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 1: on Hollywood Boulevard, And then you have the La Times

221
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 1: not even acknowledged that that's one of the big reasons.

222
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 1: And you know why, because everything's on social media. I

223
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 1: can't tell you how many montages of screaming maniacs on

224
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 1: Hollywood Boulevard are out there circulating around the globe. You

225
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 1: have all these people, all these groups that have video

226
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 1: recorded every crazy person like banging his head against the wall,

227
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:06,319
Speaker 1: running around with no pants on, laying in his own

228
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 1: vomiting feces, menacing, threatening, harassing people, I mean, just standing

229
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 1: on the middle of the street mindlessly howling at the moon.

230
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 2: This Steff's all over the internet.

231
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 1: In fact, I know from going back to the East

232
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 1: Coast and you start talking to people they hear you

233
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 1: from California, they actually flinch, they recoil.

234
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 2: Is it really that bad there? Oh?

235
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 1: But you know what they blame, they play, They blame

236
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 1: Trump's tariffs. Stop that, Trump's Yeah, Trump's tariffs keeps people

237
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 1: from going on Hollywood Boulevard. What a load of feces.

238
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 1: Immigration crackdown repelled visitors. No, it wasn't the immigration crackdown

239
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 1: that's going on in all fifty states. It was the

240
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 1: riots that Karen Bess encouraged. It was the rioting that

241
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 1: scared people, not the crackdowns. All the cities and states

242
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 1: are getting cracked downs. I mean they've arrested thousands and

243
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 1: thousands of people. They weren't all in LA. This was

244
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 1: an article made of absolute nonsense. Cirrus Davies another like

245
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:24,520
Speaker 1: non journalist.

246
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 2: Tariffs.

247
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:35,280
Speaker 1: Foot traffic this summer for some businesses are down by

248
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 1: fifty percent. They even blamed the fires. The fires were

249
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 1: in January. The whole world knows that was the Palisades

250
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 1: out by the ocean. Wasn't Hollywood Boulevard. I mean, I mean, really,

251
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:51,479
Speaker 1: this is such a propaganda outt This is such nonsense.

252
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 2: Pravda. Wasn't this shameless?

253
00:15:57,880 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 3: No?

254
00:15:58,240 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 2: Really?

255
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 1: Number one, number two, Number three vagrants, mental patients and

256
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 1: drug addicts, and then all the crime they commit, and

257
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 1: there's a lot of crime being committed, and all the

258
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 1: criminals who are not vagrants.

259
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 2: Crime is terrible.

260
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 1: Everybody I know on the West Side, every single friend

261
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 1: and acquaintance I have, we talk about this. They're not

262
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:28,080
Speaker 1: going downtown, not going to Hollywood Boulevard. People, when you

263
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 1: think of it you say, hey, you want to go

264
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 1: to Hollywood Boulevard, What are you crazy? That's the response.

265
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 1: It's the response here, it's the response on the East Coast,

266
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 1: it's the response in Europe. Everybody sees what's going on.

267
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 1: The only people who don't care are Karen Bass and

268
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 1: the city council members and the writers.

269
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 2: At the LA Times.

270
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobel's on demand from KFI AM

271
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:54,240

Speaker 2: seven seven Moist daighty six eight seven seven Moist daty six.

276
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 1: You usually talkback feature on the iHeartRadio app. Normally, I

277
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:17,400
Speaker 1: don't spend much time on the government's shutdown because there

278
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:20,160
Speaker 1: seems to be one of these, you know, every two

279
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:23,359
Speaker 1: three years, and it usually ends up being kind of

280
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:25,640
Speaker 1: a dud of a story.

281
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:27,280
Speaker 2: Nothing really happens.

282
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:33,400
Speaker 1: Even if they have a shutdown doesn't affect I don't

283
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 1: remember shut down affecting my life.

284
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:40,199
Speaker 2: What about traffic? Air traffic controllers.

285
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:43,920
Speaker 1: They have to work, see the important agencies are required

286
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 1: to keep going.

287
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:48,199
Speaker 2: Okay, I hope so I know.

288
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 5: I was going to say that would affect your life.

289
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, or they might just have one guy on the

290
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 1: runway with a red flat and that's it. Yeah, that's all.

291
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 1: That's all the budget they have. Everyone's going to get

292
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 1: their Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security, the irs irs good

293
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 1: and what else? Oh, the military. If some war breaks out,

294
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 1: the military will be there. But a lot of now

295
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 1: here's the thing. Normally employees, a lot of them were

296
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:28,199
Speaker 1: non essential or sent home on furlough. But this is

297
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:32,679
Speaker 1: Trump we have in office. And remember that when Elon

298
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:37,399
Speaker 1: Musk was reigning and we had DOZE active, they wanted

299
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:41,160
Speaker 1: to cut hundreds of thousands of jobs and the courts

300
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:45,199
Speaker 1: wouldn't let them because Congress had appropriated the money. And

301
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 1: if Congress appropriates money, then you can't fire those people

302
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:53,400
Speaker 1: and you have to pay them. So we've never had

303
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 1: a president whose goal was to dismantle much of the government.

304
00:18:58,840 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 2: Trump.

305
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:04,440
Speaker 1: If they don't pass a bill funding the government by

306
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 1: midnight tonight, then Trump could fire three hundred thousand people

307
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 1: if he wants, because there's no funding. See, once the

308
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:18,879
Speaker 1: government's funded by Congress, then he can't fire these people.

309
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 1: But if you have this lapse in funding, then everyone

310
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 1: can be kicked out for good. And that's the hammer

311
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 1: Trump has on the Democrats here because most of these

312
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 1: government workers, they vote overwhelmingly Democrat and they live in

313
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:42,240
Speaker 1: the Washington, d C. Virginia, Maryland area, and so there's

314
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 1: a lot of tough talk going on, but ultimately I

315
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:45,159
Speaker 1: want to.

316
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 2: See if the Democrats.

317
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 1: And the reason the Democrats matter in this is because

318
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 1: in the Senate they could you know, they have the

319
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 1: filibuster rules, So you need sixty votes to pass this budget,

320
00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 1: and the Republicans only have what do they have fifty

321
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:05,120
Speaker 1: three seats I think, so they need seven Democrats right

322
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:08,200
Speaker 1: now they can't get any, so the bill doesn't pass.

323
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 1: On the flip side, if funding lapses and Trump fires

324
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:16,399
Speaker 1: three hundred thousand workers, all the people Elon Musk wanted

325
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 1: a fire but couldn't at the time, Oh, there's gonna

326
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 1: be holy hell on the Democrats. They actually had the

327
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:29,160
Speaker 1: power here either to pass it. And this new funding

328
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:32,359
Speaker 1: keeps everything in place. There's no increases, there's no cuts,

329
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:38,359
Speaker 1: but there are some like Obamacare subsidies that are supposed

330
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:41,399
Speaker 1: to expire, and they don't want those to expire. They

331
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:46,359
Speaker 1: want to shovel more money at that. So that's that's

332
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:48,600
Speaker 1: the game of chicken. Now, most of these things end

333
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:52,240
Speaker 1: up resolving, and so it's it's not really getting it's

334
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:55,119
Speaker 1: not worth getting worked up for. But boy, if they

335
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 1: actually go to midnight and Trump, you know, Trump's up

336
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 1: all night, he doesn't sleep. I mean, he's going to

337
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:06,679
Speaker 1: start issuing like truth social executive orders probably a twelve

338
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 1: oh one and conceivably could fire hundreds of thousands of people,

339
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:13,879
Speaker 1: and who knows what all these people do, probably a

340
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:20,640
Speaker 1: lot of mar waste. Now Trump is taunting the two

341
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 1: Democratic leaders. I don't know if you heard this so absurd,

342
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:26,880
Speaker 1: I can hardly believe that this is really a thing.

343
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 1: But Kim Jeffries is the House leader and Chuck Schumer

344
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:34,960
Speaker 1: is the Senate leader, and Trump decided to mock them

345
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:39,600
Speaker 1: because they refused to see things his way on this budget.

346
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:45,160
Speaker 1: So he sent out an AI generated video and it

347
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 1: is a fake Schumer and a fake Aquem Jeffries, although

348
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:53,840
Speaker 1: they look real. But Haquem Jeffries is wearing a Mexican

349
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 1: sombrero and he's got a little Mexican mustache, like cartoon

350
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 1: characters used to have. And this is the video Trump

351
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:04,920
Speaker 1: put out last night.

352
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:09,640
Speaker 6: Look, guys, there's no way to sugarcoated. Nobody likes Democrats anymore.

353
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:11,879
Speaker 6: We have no voters left because of all of our

354
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:15,040
Speaker 6: woke trans books. Not even black people want to vote

355
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:18,120
Speaker 6: for us anymore. Even Latinos hate us. So we need

356
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 6: new voters.

357
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 7: And if we give all these illegal aliens free healthcare,

358
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:25,919
Speaker 7: we might be able to get them on our side

359
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:28,440
Speaker 7: so they can vote for us. They can't even speak English,

360
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 7: so they won't realize we're just a bunch of woke

361
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 7: pieces of work, you know, at least for a while

362
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 7: until they learn English and they realize they hate us too.

363
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 1: If you watch it, it looks like the real Chuck Schumer,

364
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:45,200
Speaker 1: and it sounds like the real Chuck Schumer.

365
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 5: John, you're next what somebody is going to come out

366
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:57,359
Speaker 5: and they're going to have you talking about how much

367
00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:00,960
Speaker 5: you love for reason, Gavin newsombery and Karen Bass is

368
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 5: your best friend.

369
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:06,720
Speaker 2: I bet you Kevin Knewsome as a furry. I don't

370
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:12,800
Speaker 2: think you don't think. No, I don't think anyway. I

371
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 2: want to see an AI. Don't give peoples. I'm giving

372
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:17,800
Speaker 2: myself ideas.

373
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 3: Oh what did we.

374
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:24,440
Speaker 2: Turn you into doing doing commercials for the meat? Yeah,

375
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:25,120
Speaker 2: the meat industry.

376
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 3: I know.

377
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm going to shut up now how.

378
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 1: Much you love cheeseburgers and the mediums? All right, we

379
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:36,479
Speaker 1: got more coming. I'll play you some. Pete Hechsath started

380
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:38,119
Speaker 1: off with this and it actually got me in a

381
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 1: really good mood. And Pete Hegseath said, no more fat soldiers,

382
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:46,240
Speaker 1: no more fat generals, and no more any of this

383
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:50,359
Speaker 1: woke nonsense. He he convened all the military leaders in

384
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 1: the nation UH into one big room in Quantico, Virginia,

385
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:58,920
Speaker 1: and he told basically, all the nonsense of the last

386
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:01,640
Speaker 1: thirty years has been canceled, eradicated.

387
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:04,160
Speaker 2: Play some of the clips when we come back.

388
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:09,159
Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI, a.

389
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:11,640
Speaker 2: John Cobelt Show.

390
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:13,640
Speaker 1: You can follow us at John Cobelt Radio on social

391
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 1: media at John Cobelt Radio. All right, so Pete Hegseth

392
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:26,480
Speaker 1: had all the military leaders in all branches come together

393
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 1: in Quantico, Virginia. Today there's all hands on deck meeting

394
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 1: and it was to tell them once and for all,

395
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 1: the woke era is over. No more woke politically correct nonsense.

396
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:45,960
Speaker 1: It's the Department of War. We're here to to fight.

397
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:50,439
Speaker 1: We've got to kill, we've got to destroy things, and

398
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:54,360
Speaker 1: everybody has got to be in the best physical condition possible.

399
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:58,639
Speaker 1: And we have to have the highest standards or you

400
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 1: don't get to serve. It's not for you. And he's

401
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:06,800
Speaker 1: no longer interested in everybody's feelings and everybody's preferences and

402
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 1: your pronouns. I thought this clip probably summed it up

403
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 1: the best. This is a Headsex got six.

404
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:17,400
Speaker 8: This administration has done a great deal from day one

405
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 8: to remove the social justice, politically correct and toxic ideological

406
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:29,639
Speaker 8: garbage that had infected our department. To rip out the politics.

407
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:37,119
Speaker 8: No more identity months, dei offices, dudes in dresses, no

408
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:41,800
Speaker 8: more climate change worship, no more division distraction or gender delusions,

409
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 8: no more debris.

410
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 2: As I've said before.

411
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:48,840
Speaker 8: And we'll say again, we are done with that.

412
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I wish we could rid this of out

413
00:25:56,800 --> 00:26:01,200
Speaker 1: of every corporation, out of everything that you're you're you're

414
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:04,200
Speaker 1: forced to to to watch on television that you get

415
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:07,240
Speaker 1: lectured by, get it all out of the universities. I mean,

416
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:12,400
Speaker 1: enough of this era. This era has been exhausting, depressing, overwhelming,

417
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:17,440
Speaker 1: and it's it's done no good, no good at.

418
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 2: All, just being have done with that.

419
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:22,879
Speaker 1: Yes, just pissed everybody off and there's been no purpose

420
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 1: to it. So just garbage is the is the best

421
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:32,640
Speaker 1: way he described it, and he went after fat troops.

422
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 1: No more of that either. Cut seven.

423
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:41,639
Speaker 8: The new War Department golden rule is this, do onto

424
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 8: your unit as you would have done onto your own

425
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:50,399
Speaker 8: child's unit. Would you want him serving with fat or

426
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 8: unfit or undertrained troops, or alongside people who can't meet

427
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:58,200
Speaker 8: basic standards, or in a unit where standards were lowered

428
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:01,119
Speaker 8: so certain types of troops could make it in in

429
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 8: a unit where leaders were promoted for reasons other than

430
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 8: merit performance and war fighting.

431
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:11,920
Speaker 1: The answer is not just no, it's hell though, and

432
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:15,160
Speaker 1: he expands on this, go to cut eight.

433
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 8: I don't want my son serving alongside troops who are

434
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:22,240
Speaker 8: out of shape, or in combat unit with females who

435
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:24,920
Speaker 8: can't meet the same combat arms physical standards as men,

436
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:28,720
Speaker 8: or troops who are not fully proficient on their assigned weapons,

437
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:31,480
Speaker 8: platform or task, or under a.

438
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:36,119
Speaker 2: Leader who was the first but not the best.

439
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:43,920
Speaker 8: Standards must be uniform, gender neutral, and high.

440
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 1: I actually didn't think I'd live long enough to see

441
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 1: at least some of this come back. This is the

442
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:52,000
Speaker 1: way the world worked for you for in America for

443
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:56,119
Speaker 1: about two hundred and forty years, and in the last

444
00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:59,880
Speaker 1: ten years and maybe longer than that, it just started unraveling.

445
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:03,080
Speaker 1: Everybody got caught up in every trendy bit of social

446
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:06,639
Speaker 1: justice nonsense, and it just seemed to come from all sides,

447
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:10,200
Speaker 1: and it just ruined almost everything in life and all

448
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:14,399
Speaker 1: the good stuff in life. And I mean it certainly

449
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 1: ruined television and you know, ruined the movies. I mean,

450
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:24,639
Speaker 1: look what it's done in the cities. Can't enjoy walking

451
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 1: out to go to a restaurant, go to a shop,

452
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:31,480
Speaker 1: to go to a sporting event, or it's all because

453
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 1: of social justice nonsense, whether it's homeless people. It's made

454
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 1: workplaces uncomfortable because all these people started showing up fresh

455
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 1: out of the universities with bizarre ideas on how we're

456
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 1: supposed to speak, how we're supposed to address each other.

457
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:51,760
Speaker 1: I mean, it has been oppressive and now it's finally

458
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:55,240
Speaker 1: breaking apart into pieces. And that's why you need an

459
00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:59,000
Speaker 1: administration like this, You need a bulldozer. This is because

460
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:02,600
Speaker 1: almost everybody hated it, but most were afraid. You had

461
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:05,760
Speaker 1: true believers. But the true believers were a tiny little

462
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:09,760
Speaker 1: sliver of the country, and they were Everybody else was intimidated, bullied,

463
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:15,280
Speaker 1: frightened that they were gonna get canceled. Oh, you can't

464
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:18,320
Speaker 1: say that anymore, can't tell that you all. I mean,

465
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 1: all of this has to be wiped out. We can't

466
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:23,240
Speaker 1: can't live like we can't live this way anymore. It's

467
00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:31,800
Speaker 1: it's absurd. Let me see here, let me uh well,

468
00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:34,920
Speaker 1: his overall philosophy was in cut number five. Play cut

469
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:35,440
Speaker 1: five again.

470
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:38,800
Speaker 2: For too long, we've promoted too many uniform.

471
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:43,240
Speaker 8: Leaders for the wrong reasons, based on their race, based

472
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:48,440
Speaker 8: on gender quotas, based on historics, so called firsts. We've

473
00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:50,920
Speaker 8: pretended that combat arms and non combat arms are the

474
00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:55,080
Speaker 8: same thing. We've weeded out so called toxic leaders under

475
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:59,640
Speaker 8: the guys of double blind psychology assessments, promoting risk averse

476
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 8: goal along to get along conformists instead.

477
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:05,560
Speaker 2: You name it. The department did it.

478
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:10,560
Speaker 8: Foolish and reckless political leaders set the wrong compass heading

479
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:12,680
Speaker 8: and we lost our way.

480
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:22,040
Speaker 2: We became the woke Department. But not anymore. Uh Cut twelve.

481
00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:27,120
Speaker 8: Any place where tried and true physical standards were altered,

482
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:32,200
Speaker 8: especially since twenty fifteen when combat arms standards were changed

483
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:36,000
Speaker 8: to ensure females could qualify, must be returned to their

484
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:41,120
Speaker 8: original standard. Other standards have been manipulated to hit racial

485
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:43,320
Speaker 8: quotas as well, which is just as unacceptable.

486
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:44,760
Speaker 2: This too, must end.

487
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:47,760
Speaker 8: Merit only the President talks about it all the time,

488
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:49,880
Speaker 8: merit based, which.

489
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 1: Is again the way the world worked all my conscious life.

490
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:57,640
Speaker 1: That's the way the world everything was. Merit doesn't matter

491
00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:01,280
Speaker 1: what you look like, doesn't matter you're male, female, what

492
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:04,040
Speaker 1: your color is, ethnicity. You're either good enough to do

493
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:06,600
Speaker 1: it or you're not. And so now the standard physically

494
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 1: in the military is going to be what males can do.

495
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 1: And if you're a woman and you can't do what's required,

496
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:18,280
Speaker 1: you don't get to be in anymore. And the same

497
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:19,920
Speaker 1: thing for a man. And see that's the thing. It's

498
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:25,880
Speaker 1: always was fair because weak men. It's an average man.

499
00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 1: If you couldn't do the physical training, if you couldn't

500
00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 1: meet the standards, you were out and you always had

501
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:39,560
Speaker 1: to be extremely fit and toned in shape. Why wouldn't

502
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:45,440
Speaker 1: you want that in the military, Crazy stupid era We're in,

503
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:48,000
Speaker 1: but it's over now.

504
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:50,280
